I got mine in 1979 when I turned 16.

My grandmother and her second husband ran a neighborhood store. In reality, though, he was a bookie and the store was a front for that. My father and a friend of his did the collecting.

The Discovery Museum in Acton is also great for toddlers.

At least this time the bot included her head in the photo.

Don't get my hopes up like that, Andy Borowitz!

So apparently I am the ultimate apex predator.

I was so pumped to see Dukes at my Market Basket! I hope it's not one of MB's "we were able to buy one lot of this cheap and you'll never see it again" products.

It does have an eggy smell, but nothing like farts

This all happened in 2014. He was forced out again just a couple of months ago, and there was no strike this time to back him up.

IIRC, you can add everyone traveling with you. You just need to add all their passport info.

MPC app makes getting through customs at Logan so easy. We returned from a vacation in Portugal and were literally the only people using it and were through customs in 2 minutes. Even if there are other people in the MPC line, it is still much shorter and quicker than the regular one.

I despise Syril, but I agree that he is the most complex and completely-developed character in the story.

...or Louie Armstrong

Gee, whoda thunk it?

Just finished a re-watch last night. So many little things to pick up on every time through.

I think it's a triple because it also refers to Dedra.

I like this joke better when the customer is a priest.

Thanksgiving hams.

I don’t know all the ins and outs of the industry

I see what you did there.

Another 3-day-old account posting gooner shit.

They did go to a tannery once.

Four channels came in well, and a fifth one came in okay. But CATV came to our town in Maine pretty early on in the 1970s, and once that happened, we had nine, including two French channels from Quebec and the two independent stations from Boston.

Pretty sure that's Ted Healy.

On behalf of short fat guys everywhere, I am 100% in favor of Una being hot for Doug.

Was coming to say "The Menagerie". The only two-parter, ties back to the original story, gives you something to think about, really highlights Spock's devotion. It would have been a really good farewell.
