I worked summers at a preppy clothing store on Cape Cod in the early '90s. Paul Mellon would stop in periodically to buy green slacks.
Green slacks and plaid slacks were big sellers.
Oh, look, the house, located on a private island, is available to rent:

THE CANNONBALL RUN wasn’t a Rat Pack film simply because Sammy and Deano appeared in it.

Ergo, a Brat Pack film must be a 1980s release featuring at least two cast members from either of those movies. The self-absorption of the ‘80s is critical. Any reunion of those actors now in an attempt to capture that spirit would be farce.

Let's approach this theologically: 1. The Brat Pack--the alpha and the omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end--achieved full realization in the '80s when THE BREAKFAST CLUB & ST. ELMOS' FIRE intersected with humanity. 2. Matthew 18:20 applies: "Where two or more are gathered..."

Could be some spring newborns who are beginning to fly and aren't fully potty trained yet. We have a turf backyard flanked by a row of trees with a few nests in it. Had to spray lots of droppings off the turf yesterday.

My theory: Mae's whole deal is that she's jealous of Osha having a federal agency acronym for a name. Mae's embrace of the dark side won't be complete until she becomes a Sith and assumes the name Darth Fema.

No justice like Maritime justice. All my Byrne ancestry is through Newfoundland. (There's even a building with our name on it St. John's!) Family names among my PEI ancestors include Sullivan, O'Halloran, Gill, McElmeel, and Mellish.

My grandparents emigrated from Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. My enemies would be more confused than intimated if I approached them fists drawn warning, "This is about to go down Atlantic Canada style."

I loved It's Your Move. The Dregs of Humanity helped me get over my fear of zombies and other undead-type characters in movies and TV. I watched the Thriller video the day it premiered and then never again in full for a couple years. Thanks, Dregs!

Yeah, don't eff with Sisters. They're the ones quietly running the show and many are far more progressive than casual observers--outside AND within the Church--might assume.

Hannibal Lecter would be the SECOND vice president named Hannibal. The first was Lincoln's first VP, Hannibal Hamlin of Paris, Massachusetts. Paris, MA? No such place exists! Ah, but it did. Paris was located in the northern Massachusetts wilderness that would become the state of Maine in 1820.
