I thought Office Space would be on the list. I've seen it once...hysterically funny...especially the Middle Eastern guy...and I need to see it a few more times.

UNBELIEVABLE....makes you want to strangle Michael Keaton. SO FUNNY. Remember the poem that Lupe, the Puerto Rican prostitute, recited to them at the Christmas party in the morgue: You take us off the city streets And give us nicer men to meets We have dresses furs and nice things to wear And even go to Vidal Sassoon's to fix up our hair We moved into nice apartment houses Instead of living with the "ratones" and the mouses Tonight, because of you, are joy is jumping Because we are at this party instead of humping Yes, I've seen that a handful of times as well.

Isn't it, though? Slinky, deceptive and intelligent. Wow. The first time you will miss some of the subleties...the second time you will make all the connections. The cast was great and so was the acting. The jazz score was ultra-sexy and top notch - wouldn't expect anything less from the guy who scores the music for 007 films. Great line from Oscar, the black chief of police in the town: "You brought this upon yo'self, man, people hear you be out there bangin' the widow, it tends to call attention to you."

We all have those movies we've seen several times over. Here's my list: James Bond movies Diamonds Are Forever - 11x On Her Majesty's Secret Service - about 7x Live and Let Die - about 7 x Moonraker - about 7 x For Your Eyes Only - about 7 x View To a Kill - about 4 x The World is Not Enough - approx 4 x Eddie Murphy Beverly Hills Cop - the original - 5 x (opening chase scene only - forward and reverse - about 20x) Trading Places - about 5 x Other Body Heat - 9x - I had to see it a second time to unravel the intricacy of the plot...and then I got hooked. Don't leave the room/theater in the last 15 minutes for the "yearbook scene." Which movies qualify you as an OCD freak?

That's a cute cat...and I'm a dog person. Pantho, how about snagging a deal on an entry level 'Bu - they have good room for all of you and they shouldn't be THAT much more than a Cobalt. I've rented them and they ride and track fairly well (except for the electric steering that many of you dog...I didn't think it was THAT bad).

I'm sure it's an heirloom...like a lot of Buicks. It is also a good looking Buick...the past LeSabre was seriously frumpy and the PA was just ok...I didn't care for the bulbousness of the greenhouse. I will have to find an occasion to drive it or an opportunity to rent one (or whine my way into an upgrade).

Good. I do this about every 18,000 to 20,000 and I guess it's served me well. When the dealer runs the $ 89 coupon, I go get it done. If I've done 10x, then $ 890 is still way cheaper than to overhaul one of these units.

Turbo, you're way more L.A. than Chicago...listen to this stuff...now c'mon, admit you like LaLaLand.

not with YOU!

1992 Buick Regal coupe - 3800 V6 (Series I, there were no series at that time), one owner (me), 222,000 miles. Right you are! One can't call the 3800 V6 crap. Surprised to see that your engine exhibited trouble before the transmission. I always thought these transes were good for only 100,000 to 150,000. What was your service interval for the transmission to get to a quarter million miles? I am getting no oil consumption in between oil changes...maybe a 1/4 of a quart at the most. Transmission fluid always stays at a light pink color and shifts so you almost don't notice it. Certain interior components are a little frayed but the body is in good shape and the silver color has held up remarkably well. No, I don't win the oldest car award, just the best. :AH-HA_wink: :AH-HA_wink:

BM? Bowel movement?

Damn, doesn't ANYBODY like Greek food? Just my lonely vote thus far? Never have been a conformist. Food I won't go near: Thai and Indian. Thai (even with NO stars for spiciness) sends me back to office with my head feeling like it's going to explode...it's not for me.

OK...I can see where this is going...a private over the back yard fence conversation between Long Island and Eastern PA...indeed... a conversation between 2 of the 5 or so C&Gers I like to give the most grief to. Cheer up, gents.

No way, Reg, I will be having nightmares. I can't believe I once shared the same city (Portland OR) with her. Tonya appears to have gotten matronly .... she is and always will be the "Queen of White Trash." Hasselhoff has to go, too...along with his poofy hair. Good God...what decade is that from? I don't know who the two above Tonya are, so care to elaborate. The one in the middle appears to have a high butch quotient...ouch.
