Actually, it's 14.  Not bragging, just want to be accurate (but I see  now 
why I didn't get the math teacher job).  I can't believe I don't have  to do 
crap I hate (like scrub pizza oven baking screens) and make this much  money.  I 
don't make any more money than I do delivering pizza, but it's SO  MUCH 
BETTER, and I don't have to use my car and put gas in all the time.
 
However, the teacher I'm working with told the principal yesterday that I  
was brilliant.  Now THERE I'm bragging!

> Your theaters have in-theater restrooms? Cool.

I felt shock, at first, at the idea that theaters in Jeffrey's area do not
provide restrooms.

Then again, given Jeffrey's previous whiffage on several prominent
cultural signposts, I'm beginning to seriously wonder whether he lives in
a hole in the ground and peruses self-illuminated manuscripts by the light
of a tallow candle.

Just yell, that's right, yell, at the top of your lungs, that if you want
second audio commentary, you'll get the laserdisc.  My friend Sam did that
at a screening of THE GANG'S ALL HERE.  Worked like the proverbial charm.

Whoops, guess you'll have to yell "DVD" instead...

They do not, generally, offer one a view of the screen - in other words, if
you have to use the restroom, you miss part of the movie. I hate missing
parts of movies, so I prefer not to down vast quantities of liquid before or
during a movie. Then again, the double-bottle solution is always a
possibility...although probably less socially acceptable in crowded theaters
on summer days when overcoats are unavailable to offer cover.

But only because it so happens that's where my wireless network gets the
best signal.

I don't mind whiffing on most things I whiff on, because in my experience of
them (or just from description), they're crrap.

You might be amused, however, to find out that until I happened to see a
snippet on the news yesterday, I'd assumed the "Howard Stern" who's claiming
paternity in the Whatshername* case was *the* Howard Stern...

* name omitted for the sake of everyone else as sick as I am of this utter
non-story about an utter non-entity.

See, yelling makes more of a disturbance than other people's yapping - and
some other person would then be utterly within rights to point out that you
just bugged them more than the yapper had bugged you.

I am thinking of printing up flashcards.

I've only skimmed it, but found what I skimmed comprehensive and balanced.
 Just might be the definitive Disney biography.  My only complaint:  the
films often get short shrift, a few paragraphs or a few pages at most. 
You'll have to crack Maltin's THE DISNEY FILMS for extended analyses.

Fun stuff, the Poundstone books.  Though anyone who wants a gander at
Walt's final resting place may look here:

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=284

Odd...the book mentions a statue of the Little Mermaid near the crypt, but
the website doesn't show it.  Did you see anything like that?

(Maltin judges one more cinematic classic equal to or inferior to
LASERBLAST...well, you'll read about it in the papers)

Luminescent, I assume, for optimal theater-viewing.
