Tony, tell your friend to contact her insurance company IMMEDIATELY, if not sooner, to report this. If this guy calls again, tell her to give him her insurance agent's number. I am with the majority of the others here, this sounds fishy.
Other sources to consider would be Amazon.com - though it might be a little tricky, and Alibris.com. Also, if you have any other issues of the magazine, you could check and see if the publisher has a website you can check out. Sometimes (not always) pusblishing sites sell back issues of their...
1. Movie Commercial programs - the Tw20enty or however the hell it is spelled, and AMC's similar program. Not only are you being assailed with trivia about movies you might not be interested in seeing, you are also being assailed with COMMERCIALS about TV shows. Give it a rest! Then, to add...
I like to bargain hunt, plain and simple. Of course, as Mark wisely pointed out with the gasoline story above, there are times when a "bargain" just isn't worth your time. For myself, I like to get SOME sort of idea how much a DVD will cost during its first week of release. Since the studios...
Count yourselves fortunate that none of you were within about a mile of my place when my brother found out Dark Angel was cancelled! I agree, wholeheartedly with the cliffhanger complaint. Either give the producers enough time to come to SOME sort of conclusion or give it another half season...
RIP Mr. Barbera. There are SO many things the cartoons you and Mr. Hannah created that were a real source of joy for me! When facing a confusing situation, I still remember, (though I haven't seen the 'toons in such a long time!) the line from the Quick Draw McGraw cartoon about being...
Having followed the links and seen those pictures (unpleasant twitch!) all I can say is, anyone who believe those are accidental beaver shots is, in the words of Carlos Mencia: "Dee dee dee!"
Oh, yeah, put me on the list for this one. I have had not one, but TWO herniated disks. The first one came about in 1996 because I slipped on a slug on a steep driveway. The lower back tightness, and the inevitable pain down the back of my left leg was pretty awful. Fortunately, my doctor...
Okay, I am hoping someone can help me with my dirty mind on the tree needles experiment. Kari's face was clashing with her hair when she was talking about "Santa's Little Helper" or "Daddy's Little Helper" or "Mommy's little helper." The little blue pill, was that a Viagra or other such pill?
I'd avoid it like the plague, Neil, unless you ask someone with Amazon if this is a legit download. And be prepared for a nonsensical form e mail in response. I found this out when I saw a link for a download for Bourne Supremacy - two days after the film opened in 2004.
First of all, glad to know that everyone here who has had a close encounter with a car is all right. It scares me to try to go anywhere these days (in a wheelchair) because there are some pretty careless types behind the wheel who would not notice something if it was glued to their inner...
I, myself, learned a lesson a long time ago, NEVER go to any store announcing its first "Christmas sale of the season." Reading Dave's original post, about the guy in front of him with the problems paying for his item... Have any of you seen that new Visa commercial, where the guy paying with...
Magnus, thank you so much for the heads up. I plan to take some heat off my December mad dashes (bank account/Christmas shopping) with this announcement. Thanks for saving me from another cursed double dip.
Things that drive me nuts are: 1. Starting up a conversation with me about politics, and acting all offended when I give my honest opinion about something. If you want to hear your own beliefs, PLEASE record your own and play them for yourself! 2. Gossip - I really don't give a flying %$#*...
The weird thing is, Glenn Ford passed away recently, and there were a lot of people who thought HE was already gone, as well. Are we in an episode of Celebrity Twilight Zone or something?
:frowning: Mr. Palance was the one bright spot in the MST3K "classic" Angel's Revenge - probably because he was the only one who could act. Poor Peter Lawford seemed drunk off his ass the entire way through that movie, but that may have been to blunt the pain. Jack, however, soldiered on...
Those Tide commercials with Kelly Ripa - is it just me, or does it seem like she should actually be serving as the "before" spokesperson in a ritalin commercial?
Now I don't know what the technical name is, but I call it double dipping. A commercial, such as a car commercial from a...
:frowning: Mr. Poledouris did some WONDERFUL work - my favorites being Conan and The Hunt for Red October. I love the story of how the party scene music came about for Conan the Barbarian, how he was working on the theme and his daughter came in with her recorder, and started playing a...
You might want to consider checking out www.tvshowsondvd.com and see about suggesting these shows, and voting for them. Gord Lacey is REALLY good about getting the latest news out about new releases, and folks in the industry actually listen to him. Writing wistfully about bootlegs will...
No, MST3K did not get their hands on this one, more's the pity. The quip above is mine alone. I wish they could have gotten to this one, because it is a laugh fest BEGGING for abuse.
I first saw it when I was 18 - my mom had heard all about how "terrifying" it was, especially the Amelia sequence. She was out of the room while I watched it all by my lonesome, and was rather surprised to hear me laughing so hard. She said later it sounded like I was about to split a gut. I...
I have been completely satisfied with the following sets: Frasier Hogan's Heroes MASH - not only am I getting uncut episodes, but I can turn off the damned laugh track!
Star Wars - original 1977 cut Raiders of the Lost Ark Goodfellas Full Metal Jacket The Great Escape Sleeping Beauty - Disney's best, as far as I am concerned Lord of the Rings trilogy extended sets Gumball Rally - my ultimate guilty pleasure Jaws The Rocky Horror Picture Show
This is comedian Tom Mabe, mentioned on this board a few months back. Unfortunately, I cannot find the original thread, or I would post to it. HOWEVER, this link will take you to a site with an audio recording of Mr. Mabe really giving it to a telemarketer. Put down your coffee or other...
The host was a guy dressed up much like a vampire from what I recall and he played classic old horror films. I loved the show and found the hosts comments entertaining. Sadly, I've forgotten the name of the program. Howard Paul, where do you live? Here in the Puget Sound area (Seattle...
There are some commercials that only come out during the holidays that I want to see back, the main of these being the M&Ms encountering Santa, when Santa and the Red faint. The Yellow saying, "Uh, Santa?" is just so cute!
Way back when in the early 1970s, Coke had one of a large group of...
All things considered, those of you who have sets that no longer "do it" for you can cross someone off your holiday list. If they ask why it isn't sealed, tell them you wanted to make sure it was a complete and working set! :) My brothers and I have an unofficial exchange program in place...
