That is silly. If I had a nickel for every time I read that book. Good night nobody, good night mush and good night to the old lady whispering huusssshhh.

"It stands athwart history, yelling Stop"

The original National Review publisher's statement, which makes 1955 sound pretty much like today.

Everclear + whatever kinds of fresh fruit you have + Surejell fruit punch base diluted with water + 1 large waste receptacle = the college party poison known as trashcan punch...

Football in the snow vs. spending the night in NYC? It's tons better! Hot chocolates, throwing snowballs every time they score, it'll be a blast!

You are right it is silly, but the one's lamenting the change (I don't believe I have ever heard of the book) are not the ones that started the silliness.....that was started by some busybodies in California (where else?) That want all movies, including the old classics, to be given an "R" or "mature" rating if there is any sign of cigarettes, cigars or smoking in them.

It's going to be on some darn TV down there, that's how I found out, some advertising on a BB game they were piggybacking up here on a Canaduh sports channel as I flipped by. I forget which network is showing it. Really useful, huh?

I am far too old to even consider drinking anything like that...........YUCK.

I do remember we occassionally drank PGA (the real stuff you only got in unlabelled mason jars) mixed with grapefruit juice when I was in Florida.

Sounds to me like the true fan would be capable of gnawing them off because the true fan can bend 'way over because the true fan spends so much time doubled over with his head up his ass, but I believe I have just gotten off-topic, as always.

I agree that this whole revise-everything-for-PC-ness is silly and asinine. Those promoters of nanny state lala land can't leave ANYTHING alone if it expresses a thought that offends them or portrays a person as an individual with a mind of their own-I am truly sick of it.

AHEM!

Karl can send me $20.00 U.S. to show his appreciation. So can you.

I'm not nearly as stupid as I look. And act.
