Cheney will attend the inauguration in a WHEELCHAIR...
Edited on Mon Jan-19-09 10:48 PM by jasonc
I am watching my Keith Olberman Podcast right now, and he just said that Cheney hurt his back while moving boxes into his new home in McLean Virginia.

1. It hurts when your soul is ripped out of your body, especially when settling a debt
A long overdue debt, if you ask me.

19. ... how can you have grown up in this country and not seen that movie?
Hell, I haven't seen it in at least 15 years, but at least I've seen it. And I never had cable growing up. So I never got those christmas movie marathons when I was a kid. :P

40. Some very funny narration and dialog
such as..."Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from my old man. He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium; a master.".

52. Watching that and Christmas Vacation is a holiday tradition in our family
The narration in ACS is the best part.

Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. My personal preference was for Lux, but I found Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness. Life Buoy, on the other hand...

43. i've never seen it
never cared to watch.

but, on a funny side note, my dad used to be able to make me cry on command by singing 'i love you truly.' i was in my late teens before it stopped working.
