    O.K. I got some more. This should do it. (But probably not)

    Smile, you're at Mr. Smiley's, that'll be four eighty-nine, please.

    Would you like some Smiley Sauce?

    No. No, actually... I'd like to fill out an application.

    There's not jobs for manager, it's just for counter.

    Good. I'm looking for the least possible amount of responsibility.

    And I'll throw in the most famous line from this movie for free

    Welcome to Americas Weirdest Home Movies

    I just watched this again over the holidays - great movie.

    There may be, but it's far more famous in a larger city. (The "toddling town.")

    George

    Chicago is that toddlin' town and, of course, it has a State street.

    I think the name of the song is "Chicago" and I think it was sung by old blue eyes himself - Frank Sinatra.

    I know this might be out of your league -- but this puts boot prints in the face of that strutting gal in your video ---

    That's quite insulting since you have absolutely no idea in which league I play.

    Apparently, you have not paid any attention to the plethora of songs I have posted in the last few months.

    This used to be a lighthearted thread where people could and would post any song

    - good, bad, or mediocre - that they happened to be into at that particular moment, and not be subjected to ridicule.

    People were free to enjoy themselves and share some music.

    If you don't like people's song choices, then don't listen to them; that's what I do.

    I would never be so rude as to single out a person's song choices and denigrate them,

    nor would I insult their intelligence, and then excuse my bad behavior by saying that I'm "old and crotchety,"

    a term that you applied to yourself in the post you deleted.

    Moreover, the name of this thread is "Song of the Moment," not let's critique other people's music choices,

    or what I think is good music, or even for music lovers. Although, there was a thread entitled "For Music Lovers"

    started by polar bear with the intention of discussing music, but people seemed to lose interest in that particular thread.

    Perhaps you could resurrect the "For Music Lovers" thread and post your opinions there,

    and this thread could be left for it's stated purpose - "Song of the Moment, what are into right now."

    Or perhaps, you could start your own thread for the "old and crotchety," and discuss only that music which adheres to your exacting standards.

    But here's the larger concern: Why do so many threads on this website have to turn into friggin' pi$$ing contests?

    And BTW, you don't have to worry about me upsetting your sensitive sensibilities anymore, because I won't post any more songs to this thread.

    So, you can police this thread to your heart's content, and make sure to keep the undesirables out.

    I'm done with it.

    I'm working on a novel. Going on six years now. I think I might finish it tonight.

    You're writing a novel?

    No, reading it.

    What are you all sitting around here like a bunch of wimps for?

    It's what wimps do.

    And everyone knows that hate is not the opposite of love. Indifference is.

    Well, whatever you say. I really don't care.

    You know, I really think I can put together a great Thanksgiving dinner. This'll be the second one that I've cooked, and believe me, the first one was not the disaster that my family said it was. Those kids had a pretty good time in that ambulance.

    Interesting little article here. It says that, uh... the average human being only uses seventeen percent of his brain. Boy, you realize what that means? We don't use a full, uh... sixty-four percent.

    Some don't use even more.

    Edited to add that I found the novel Rob Roy to be completely different from the movie Rob Roy. I guess they're based on the same character, but there didn't seem to be much similarity between the two.

    As is often the case with Hollywood's take on novels, unfortunately.

    New Author:

    A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

    A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation.

    Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.

    Although the most acute judges of the witches and even the witches themselves, were convinced of the guilt of witchery, the guilt nevertheless was non-existent. It is thus with all guilt.

    And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
