"Never quite understood how she went from I Am Woman and this song to Ruby Red Dress. Even though the latter was a big hit, it was a sellout."

"Not sure how old you are, but likely you will hear more of these people as you get older. I had not heard of the procedure until I was in my 40s, and the women who opt to do it are often, understandably, quite private about it. Angelina Jolie's revelation may change that going forward."

"This is an opinion piece, not investigative journalism. The facts have been laid out in previous articles that the author and others have written in detail here: [The Alumni Pioneer](http://notnicemusic.com/Cassand...) I recommend this site, which names names and timelines the misspending. Then you can decide for yourself."

"I'm going to reach across the aisle to the Bronx and give an Amen here. A New York player wouldn't last long belittling any fan's job, either."

"Yep, and Harvey's still young too. He'll own 33 soon enough, but he's got to put in the time and get the numbers first. There's no substitute for it."

"The funny thing is, this is probably one of the most popular anti-atheist jokes circulating today. (Just saw it posted on Facebook, in fact.) But the butt of the joke is a simple straw man; in fact, you can easily turn it around by replacing atheist with christian and the negative beliefs with positives. If this is the best they've got, nonbelievers don't have much to squirm about."

"The entire verse paints a vivid picture for me: *They're selling postcards of the hanging They're painting the passports brown The beauty parlor is filled with sailors The circus is in town.*"

"I've always preferred Another Side to all other albums of that era, but I'm curious if you are including the liner notes in your experience, because they are a large part of it for me."

"Prediction: the evening starts with D Wright as the wing man, but by 10 p.m. you are the wing man. Nobody's fault, it just has to turn out that way."

"Was in the habit of doing just that, then came back to my car after work one morning with a handwritten hate note on my windshield. Sure it took me a few extra back-and-forths to squeeze it in, but you gotta expect a little wear and tear if you park on the street. And it was worth it."

jrobelen on "Senatorial stickup" After inspecting a couple of 45-caliber pistols formerly owned by Jesse James, famed bandit of another generation, Vice President Garner playfully tries his "stickup" technique on Senator Harry Truman of Missouri, Washington D.C. February 1938 - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Sorry to be glib, but Jones just gets so tiring after a while. I don't think anything debunks itself (although you do have to draw the line somewhere), I put most of the theories he embraces on the "get back to you later" list. I just resent the idea that he can put extra work on anyone's radar."

"Does that apply to Greenaway in general, or just this movie? My understanding is that his movies tend to be elitist and overly gimmicked up with undergraduate-level symbolism."

"Looks like the gun is sticking directly into Truman's chest, but a closer look shows that Garner is pointing it at a target to the president's left side. Truman presumably trusts Garner knows what he is doing, even though he violates the first rule of gun safety."

"Had to do that for one year when I worked 11 pm-7 am. I often wished for heavy rains on my drive home, and I took more trips to the car wash than I normally would over that time. But it was worth it because I could park all night for free."

"I once had a chance to tell Alan Rickman how much I liked this movie. He told me that while filming the fanfest scenes he and Sigourney Weaver looked at each other for a moment as if to say "This feels too real for comfort.""
