Didn't you pay attention in your liberal arts classes? While you were sleeping I was busy kissing up and getting A's so as to improve my GPA. I do paper-bag my lunches (tea-bagging is kept to a dull roar now that I am no longer a poor college student) and often bring granola bars. But, I only can take so much fibre-laden granola goodness. Sometimes I just crave some soft doughy carbohydrate products. The Dinty Moore is a good idea, although I am nervous about having too good a pantry. I already keep fruit snacks and graham crackers in there. If word gets out that I am packing, I may have to bring a device for prodding the cubicle dwellers away. They can smell food, I tell you!

I pretty much detest going out to bars for that very reason. Look buddy, I just want to get another beer, not get "picked up". Out of my way and that has better not be your hand on my ass. Not that there aren't drunken antics at mi casa, however it's a completely different story when the drinks are free. Oh, and when you're the only female.

I believe he actually rented Over the Top once and made me watch it. Those are probably two of the worst movies in history. However, now I understand why he likes Titanic so much. It must remind him of the "good old days". Some of his all time favorite movies on TV are Bloodsport and Over the Top. I believe he actually rented Over the Top once and made me watch it.

Incidentally, I have actually seen probably 3 episodes of Star Trek, but no movies Thuderbolt - nope - and that reminds me I have not seen Mad Max either. Drunken Master 2 - actually, I think I have seen this. I can't remember, but I believe so. In fact, I think you were the one that had the copy that we watched. , Momento - I have actually seen Memento. (Momento is what you lose when the Tide Chevrolet you are drafting at Talladega slows up and you have to tap the brake) "also, could you remind us of how many times you…" saw Titanic... in the movie theater? - Boy, aren't we funny. It was the means to an end at that time, if you get my drift. But yes, Titanic is the only movie I have seen multiple times in the theater (twice). I do occasionally watch it on cable when it is on as well. watched white men can't jump? - Oh God - if you count how many times I have at least part of it on cable - I would have to guess 15-20, and that is probably on the light side. And I do own this on DVD. a tom cruise movie? - Well, naturally. Days of Thunder is the best (albeit most inaccurate) movie ever made. Counting partial views on cable I am probably between 40 and 50. Maybe in a future blog entry I can lay out my Days of Thunder memorabilia collection. I will say now that I own this on both VHS and DVD, as well as the "Making of Days of Thunder" on VHS. This last section has got me thinking of what movies I have seen the most. That sounds like a good contrarian blog entry to offset the negative karma I gained from this one. Maybe a more humourous one would be to actually list my movie collection. Hmmmmmm. To answer your questions…

I probably have had 6 trips under the 2:30 mark, with 3 of those being under 2:25. It is a tough one, because that of course includes no stop. It also means I have to have enough bladder control to make it through the borders as well. Given that I am typically guzzling fluids it doesn't often happen. Governor is only at 90? Even the Super Saturn tops out at a healthy 107. Yeah 2:17 once. I probably have had 6 trips under the 2:30 mark, with 3 of those being under 2:25.
