Well, you have moved to Pasty-Crackerland. :-:

Any one with BBC America, the greatest car review, Ford Fiesta, will be on in about 30 minutes. Car chase by baddies driving a corvette in a mall, Royal Marine beach landing, etc.

Thanks for the heads up.

I find it both sad and incredibly frustrating that I get BBC America but NFL Network is nowhere to be seen.

I have both, but I've been disappointed in BBC America and I lost interest in the NFL when the original Br:rolleyes:wns moved to Baltimore. On the other hand, the MLB, NFL, and NBA networks are on the basic tier for FIOS and the NHL network is on the sports tier. Strange.

Have fun with Joe, Frank, and Chet. Sadly enough, I can remember that one of the Hardy Boys has a girlfriend named Iola who is Chet's sister. This, along with the batting order of the 1979 Cleveland Indians, is crowding useful information out of my brain.

Kraft / Nabisco has a promo right now of "Buy 20 products, get $20 back" (with a specific breakdown of allowed products). After sales, discounts, and coupons, I spent $20.29 on the 20 products before the rebate ...

I need a crystal ball. 1433 on Monday.

You can't buy a ticket on this flight on co.com for some reason yet the seat map has several open spots. Downgauge in aircraft?

You weren't a Box regular when I had the encounter with the author that led to me being a character in a Hardy Boys book. I answered all of the author's questions about Atlantic City and she said thanks by writing me into the story as the helpful concierge.

Chet has since been written out of the books, and Iola was the unintended victim of a car bomb meant for the boys in about 1990 or so.

I lurked back then and remember reading about this, which I think is pretty awesome in the non-ironic sense. I hope your cameo turned out well.

I guess all of the Hardy Boys books I read as a kid were written in the '50s, so well before Chet and Iola's demise.

I haven't read a Hardy Boys book in at least two decades ...

In my case it's about three decades, which is why it is problematic that I even remember this stuff.

OK ...

I picked up more New Belgium 1554 Black Ale while out at Kroger. It's definitely one of my favorite domestic beers (and still surprised Kroger carries this in Tennessee).
