I read someone's post today (forgot which one)that got me thinking,had MAD magazine ever done any parodies of SK's films? A quick glance through Wikipedia shows three, The Shiner(The Shining) Stand But Me(Stand by Me) and The Yellow Mile(The Green Mile)..now those would be cool to have autographed,if you are an autograph kind of person..

Does anyone like the new Charger and Challenger?

I don't think I've ever seen a Challenger I didn't like sir. My dream one is a 1970 model with 440 magnum engine package but I like all models of the Challenger. I like the Chargers also but the Challenger is my favorite muscle car of all time.

Now, I KNOW you didn't just tag me, asking if I like an American car??? An ugly muscle car???? That I see at least 10 of in a 15-minute drive???? Doc, for shame. I really thought you knew me better than that. Let's review:
1) Don't like American cars
2) Don't like muscle cars
3) Don't like cars that everybody likes/wants/owns
4)
It'd be a shame to have to blow your small foreign sports car off the road with my Dodge Challenger Danie....;;D

YOu must deal with people who are upset seeing you're in the health care sector. I couldn't handle being a paramedic/nurse in some of those trauma things on the roads and stuff. I've learnt to be more assertive since I started coming on SKMB. It has given me more confidence.
You have the most bad ass human on the planet for your avatar, you must have confidence sir. Chuck's beard says so, so let it be so. :)

The only ones I have had to deal with are a few nurses who acted like they had PMS (don't mean you GNTLGNT :snicker:

In this new job I deliver medications and something called TPN, pick up outgoing lab samples and take them to the dumbwaiter where they go to Pathology, Chemistry, Microbiology or Blood Lab/Blood Bank or else to Cadham Labs. We also deliver medical charts, most often to Women's Labour floor where there are women in triage.

I really don't have any hands-on patient contact but occasionally will don a mask :doc: as some of those wards can be rather on the smelly side now and then :surrender:- It's natural I guess for those folks who may be very sick and confined to bed.

I'm very happy that you have become more assertive since you started on SKMB - you seem like an intelligent guy!
:peace:

It has been projected that by the year 2030 landline telephones will be gone. Does anyone miss hearing the dial tone before placing a call? I miss hearing it because it assured me that my call had ended. Now, with cell phones, there can be that nagging feeling that the person I was talking to can still hear me. Ever picked up to be sure? "You there?" :)
(Currently I'm without a phone.)

I have always had a landline and want one forever! But 2 weeks ago my daughters bought me a cell phone,
a Sony experia, and I am having one hell of a time learning how to use it. I tried to make a call last night
and nothing happened. I pressed the number in my contact list and listened and no dial tone, no one
answering, nothing. So it's back on the desk until I figure out how to make a call. Pretty pathetic huh :hammer:
(I checked the volume and it is on)

The words 'works' and 'tome' when it comes to books/stories sound pretentious to me.
I use 'works' all the time, speaking of King's body of work, in the same way I'd speak about Beethoven's works. (Classical music: opus=work).
I think I may have said "this or that book was his best work", as well. I don't see how that's pretentious. I like it because it can almost be used while referencing art from any vocation.
I understand your point with the other word but, as a writer, I've used it to describe bulky books like The Stand or It.
