My Brush With Don Adams in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

I guess you could call me a Don Adams fan. Even though it left the airwaves about the time I was born, I always loved the television show Get Smart as a child, watching every re-ran episode that came on, no matter how many times I'd previously seen it. I'm sure I was sadder than he was when the mid-90's revival got canceled. He claimed to have done i

I don't get PBS. Looks like one more library DVD I'll have to wait for. I'd rather hear other people sing them. A line from an episode of Ally McBeal: "Dylan's been singing for 40 years and hasn't hit a note yet." While my

and what is sad they do not see it.Just blindly go on their merry way. My standard response for certain "inconsistencies" people try to point out in the Bible is, "That's not inconsistency; it's complexity." I imagine that would also be the Liberal response to many of their inconsistencies. After

Reply to Test.. in Politics JoeUser Forums

I only completely agreed with one. (I might give a partial to another.) Some of the wording is coming from a Conservative slant, though, so I don't think it's a very good test. Speech codes on college campuses are good and American values are bad. Shouldn't those be separate?

Kiss Me Like A Stranger in Non-Fiction JoeUser Forums

Kiss Me Like A Stranger is Gene Wilder's memoir, with an emphasis on women and art. Wife Gilda Radner gave him the title shortly before she died. He expresses confusion at what it means or where it came from, but the inspiration fairly obviously was their recent heated exchange. He angrily denounced her for treating strangers better than she treated

Reply to Zombie Blogs in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Most such revivals I see seem to be people finding the article through a search engine, reading it for the first time, and deciding to comment. They probably don't know or care about the vintage. Sometimes long after the fact, I'll discover further comments were left on an article I'd been following. I usually don't respond further, though. I guess I'm sensitized to creating zombies.

What Is Wrong With Vets Around Here? in Pet Care JoeUser Forums

What the *#!& is wrong with the vets around here? If you followed my articles about my cat Fuzzy, you probably know what a difficult time I had getting a veterinarian to see him. I couldn't believe that they'd rather leave an animal to painfully die than get full payment upfront. You'd think vets of all people would care what happened to an animal. You

"What's your favorite football team?" someone asked the call-in show host. Only moments earlier he had queried someone about their favorite band. That got me thinking.

I know you think your Muslim boyfriends only have those pilot uniforms so they can come over to play "Let me park my plane in your hangar" but isn't it possible some of them have ulterior motives?

There's a bug in the Joe User software that causes edited articles that contain quotes to drop part of the title after editing the article. I've seen it happen to my articles in the past. Yeah, what TerpFan said. Don't use double quotes (") in titles. After editing, they get cropped. It's a software bug
