I never go into stores on the day after Thanksgiving. Or at the very least I try not to. But sometimes my mind tells me to do things ... and I try to obey (if it's reasonable, that thing about the salad bar at Wendy's ... not a good idea)

Yeah ... go ahead ... mock me, but I listen to my premonitions.

I went into Walmart this morning ... call me crazy (go ahead ... call me crazy ... really) and headed back into the electronics department. I wandered around for about a minute, turned around, and walking toward me is someone I hadn't seen in 25 years. He was the younger brother of my best friend from elementary and junior high school. We chatted for a moment, I gave him my card to pass on to his older brother if he saw him (their contact is sporadic from what he said) and went on the the second part of my day about which I will post in a moment.

Life is weird sometimes.

Some time ago a friend gave me his original copies of the Paramount Marx Brothers features after he bought the box set reissue. A couple days ago this same person pointed me toward a sale at Borders. They were selling the 2nd Marx Brothers box set (all the MGM features) for 20 bucks ...

On one hand, you can get yourself to Borders and buy this box set ... or if you are not so inclined, I might be able to help just a little bit

I now have duplicates of A Night At The Opera and A Day At The Races (since I bought them seperately)

If you want them ... reply. All replies are screened, so you can even put your address in the reply. And I will mail them out monday to whoever asks first ... I figger that most of my Marx loving friends already have these films, but who knows ...

I'm gonna watch these this weekend (I haven't seen a couple of them in years), and I promise not to rant about Tony Martin in the Big Store ...

EDITAsked for ... thanks for playing folks

I want to watch it again, but I do have to say, from my initial reaction, that Daniel Craig is the 2nd best Bond ... and this may be a better movie than the last couple of the best Bond.

The movie falters a little toward the end ... but only a little.

It also has the best chase scene ever filmed ... really ...
