I dunno why I bother with some people.
I've helped some friends move today- and I did all the heavy work (well, me and the boyfriend of one of the set). But they're not appreciative at all.
We went for lunch at a kebab place and they didn't even offer to pay for mine

I think by law they got to get you pizza and beers.

From an American airlines ad:

See the many sides of Baltimore.

Art, culture, good eats - there's more to Baltimore than history.  From fantastic seafood to panoramic views to amazing architecture, there's something new to discover around every corner.

I don't want to see what I'd discover around the corner.

CdM, hustling a Black hooker into the trunk of his car?

Heh random history snippet overheard in an elevator:

'WW1 started because the trains had to run on time for mobilization. WW2 was started by men whose claim to fame was making the trains run on time".

Nicholas Trist was a traitor. 

Polk wanted all of California, and would have preferred a border at the 25th parallel.

The Red Dawn remake set pictures are pretty cool.

It's being filmed about 15 miles from where I live.  Michigan has been trying to diversify by offering great incentives to the film industry.

I have a friend who is interested in costume design, so she has been auditioning to be an "extra" for many of these movies.  My favorite?  It's an indie film set in a post-apocolypse, ice-age, mutant world.  We kid her that she'll be Zombie #4, or some such weird thing.
