Weird, I somehow missed it when I searched.

It’s easy to forget what’s on page 3 when you’re on page 21.

I assume \*Black Dog \* isn’t taken yet…

> Tee hee. So you’re saying . . . 😉

Just want to know whether you’re impugning my or Christina Applegate’s reputation. (I know a lot of the people in movies without actually watching the movie. For (an extreme) example, I know that Stallone was in _Judge Dredd_ and _Stop or my Mom Will Shoot_ but I never had to sit through that dreck. I did see five minutes of Judge Dredd once on a cable channel but was able to find the remote and switch stations before my eyeballs were scorched). Now we’re you suggesting something untoward with my relationship regards Ms. Applegate, although I don’t generally find blondes attractive, she has a certain allure. This allure is tempered by my memory of Ms. Applegate as a young star of a “cop dad raising two young kids after mom dies” drama. She was just a kid in that show and on the early MWC episodes, so it makes me feel like a dirty old man to have any impure thoughts about her. Since I am a dirty old man I don’t really mind, though. 😉

We are in the same camp there, my friend. And wasn’t that the whole point of her role on MWC?

I was specifically responding to my inference that you were saying she \*had \* been \*used \* elsewhere. 😉

The world would be a very sad place indeed, without dirty old men. 😉 Morning, gentlemen.

Yeah, but not a bad movie. The line from Berenger’s character, “Hey, I was always a pitcher, not a catcher” really got my attention. He makes a good villian, and not just one dimensional.

_The Cincinnati Kid_ (which opens up at least one great play)
