    The Era -- Day By Day

    Pat obviously has something more to chew on than a pipe stem, but his play here is strictly small ball since the relationship is over, and Sandhurst won Normandie in marriage fair square. The bat flip is dog done. Chicken claws, even Steven two-fingers law before claw won't change the score...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    I heard some academe literary mill floss about this. Talk about a million dollar wound.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Understood miff with the dealt riff raff. Congrats. Not to toss any rock salt sulphur atop sugar but check with your accountant to ensure subsequent taxable income not subject IRS increase estimate because of motor repair allowance.

    Renee, Sensational Strawberry Blonde will later cease being a blonde but will remain sensational.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Shelby Foote cast his spell in Burns' acclaimed Civil War documentary. Interestingly, Foote somehow earned a bad conduct discharge from the US Army during WWII; Captain, Field Artillery, subsequently enlisted US Marine Corps to be a buck ass private rifleman. Carl Sandberg enlisted...

    The Ernest Hemingway Thread

    Ava more or less probably notched her lipstick case at Hemingway's crash pad. She was easy, slept around, swam nude at midnite with Ernest who kept himself tethered in youth so his concern for middle age climax could be realized. A not so simple declarative sentence, grammatically speaking of...

    The most cliche noir?

    'Non pudet patrem, ego nunc stragulum Domini induo.' First thing I learned in law school-know the facts of the case; and the applicable rule(s) of law. And inchoate impurity of thought within the Sixth Commandment is subject to theologic contest, while the quote above is available if a...

    What Are You Reading

    ^Around twenty-one or so, back home in Chicago, I applied for admission to a number of colleges and universities across the spectrum: several Ivy League; near other top dollars; a solid hidden gemstone; one low brow college coal nugget; and my state flagship. A crap game dice roll, to be sure...

    The most cliche noir?

    Dorothy Malone locking the book shop door and rolling down the window shade. Opens a desk drawer. Two cups, pours. Dorothy Malone, a bottle of whiskey, locked inside a book shop. For a repressed strict Irish Catholic studious nerd bookworm voracious reader, it can never ever get any better...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Last time in Vegas, I noticed video poker slot stealing while walking through the Venetian's lobby. One-armed bandits still held a high hand crowd wise but evidently the new game in town sparked interest. 'Racino' building at horsetracks further capitalize on the video concept with past races...

    Today in History

    Launched under Giap's brilliant initiative the Tet Offensive struck suddenly and decisively; however Tet itself did not initiate collapse nor end the war, which continued until 1975, another seven years. As Camus, a native Algerian noted, 'silk sometimes hides eczema.'

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I remember Paulsen's Wild Wild West guest spot where he did a karate stairway skit. Always liked the guy but thought his presidential schtick stuck in reverse.:oops::(

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    She belatedly ackowledged her estranged husband, a deceased scientist father, and recent lover; whom I knew professionally, but never mentioned her mother. Occurred here in Chicago. Initial witch, spells and incantations-the whole nine yards. And undeniable allure, red flags flying.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Adolescence led Terry towards Quiotic errantry. A knight bereft Lord liege and set destiny, chivilric though beholden to chance and fateful mercurial whim. His destiny set by the times and turbulence of war torn China, a boy adrift within himself. Prince and pawn, cursed by Cupid, lovelorn and...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Meanwhile back at the ranch... Both Pat and Normandie pine away for yesterday and promised future happiness, which seem forever within easy reach until reconcile when truth speaks a silent hidden truth. And, of course, the Second World War is just outside the Sandhurst front door. Mr Milton...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Read said, disagree lesson #1. Minors held legal guardianship until majority do not always suffer serious consequences said; emancipation prior to majority can also occur whether by action-military induction- or mutual consent-marriage- other examples. In cases rare, when a minor demonstratively...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Rumor mill campus flotsam said supposedly by her former English Lit prof. Smacks of smart ass prof envy, alcoholism, chalk allergy, contracted campus gonorreha. You know how those English Lit guys are like. I had a Philosophy prof with all the above. Contagious track tenuritis.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    What is there left to be said about Peyton Place that hasn't been said before? Plenty. Grace Metalious didn't write the great Amercan novel but the book serves sizzle sleaze galore. And when you need a cheeseburger, you need a cheeseburger. And fries with that shake. And mebbe afterwards, a...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    A film featuring David Niven that opens with narrative personification of a house captures this embroglio splendor: life is capricious; and time waits neither man or woman. Still, male and female both possess free will, while choice incurs consequence. Niven advises his niece, I believe, '...a...
