"Luckiest Man", by Jonathan Eig. Biography of Lou Gehrig.

A work of fiction, written by an American author? Hmmmmmm! That narrows it down to about a half million or so books... :p I guess that the obvious choice would be "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", by Mark Twain. :)

Cajunmama, I hope your Pop is doing well! :) Does he have anxiety? My parents are getting up there in years, so I worry a lot about their health too...

Hey Moto! That's a lotta damn bike there! I sat on one in the showroom, and what impressed me was the COMPACTNESS of it, for a big bike. I've always equated good design in the chassis, with performance. I also like the idea of Yamaha's "feel good" fuel injection system. The Italians have to cut...

Hey, bobbyburns! I guess you've seen the documentary(ies...) There was one I liked that mentioned the guy who maintained/repaired/replaced Bruce's training equipment. Seems Bruce Lee had a way of tearing things up, including puncturing the "heavy" bags! :eek: I also think he would've been a...

Amen to the motorcycle rides (above)!!! Finally got new tires on my Duc, and new carbon fiber cans, so the neighbors know when I'm out 'n about! :cool:

Welcome, Marie! :)

Welcome, "Shaun of the Dead"! Good, intense writing style in "Evilution". I think I'll check it out. Keep it up!

Hey Hydrogen! You have good taste in authors, I think. Welcome!

Request to the moderators to close a stupid pointless thread.

Hi callatiger!

Hi Cholla, good to meet you! :)

Saint Donald...Patron saint of generosity, good will, beneficence to all, good taste in interior decoration... I defer to thy gold plated ass.

I think that ANY work of art that succeeds fully in doing what it was intended to do is a great work. The obvious intent in making The Sound of Music was corniness and sentimentality, and I think they succeeded wildly! The production values were really good. I think it's just a matter of what ya...

Yeah, the Oompa Loompahs were certainly a creepy bunch of blue collar workers, but I think that they were intended to be that way. Johnny Depp is a cool actor, and seems to approach his roles with a lot of intelligence, but whether he can attain true "Wonkahood" remains to be seen. I agree with...

:rolleyes:

Motokid, I apologise! Donald Trump isn't greedy, nor is he "irritating", and his taste in interior decor is beyond reproach! (If it's stationary- GOLD PLATE it!) I'm sure his intentions in business aqquisitions have always been that his EMPLOYEES come before himself. You were right, and I was...

What do you guys'n gals think? Will "Depp" dethrone "Wilder" in the upcoming film? Is the original "Willy Wonka" too original to be topped? Is Roald Dahl "spinning" in his grave, even as I speak? Will Depp have the appropriate strangeness/gentleness of the lead character? For me the memories...

Happy birthday, mehastings! Another of life's mileage-posts. :) Enjoy 'em one and all!

Novella, good points! I didn't know that his works were heavily self edited. I should've guessed- when I studied cartooning in my younger years, I learned that it was very difficult for some cartoonists to get those scribbly casual effects that they were after. A lot of times the hard work was...
