You might have overlooked the handful of lame remarks I did make. In any case, the celebrities and protagonists have been keeping us amply mind-boggled lately.

An undeniable advantage that I believe will play out. Maybe not in that forum, but in some respect technology is going to screw the pooch.

I am surprised they aren't still making everything in those hangers, like what they'd need to fix that door.
