"$19.66...good deal...same year i went to vietnam..." - drive-thru customer in a pick-up truck
old men say the most random things. if i ever write a book, i will include this quote.
nice old men should be quoted nore often.

did you know the first rule of being kidnapped is "don't try to escape"?
i didn't know that.
i read it in the biography of daniel pearl. now you know: if pakistani fanatics kidnap you, stay put. maybe your head won't get chopped off. probably it will...but maybe not.
i never saw the video. i would like to (not for the beheading), but for all the stuff he said in it. they made him say things into the camera, and there's speculation about what things he said and what was scripted.
anyway, it's kinda like reading a book about a tv show - if you have a tv, you still want to see it for yourself. i dont understand why the library doesnt have something like that on tape.
i bet that sounds morbid, but i don't mean it to.
sigh, this is my friday night.
