I was thinking about this lately. Most of us remember the absurd lines from movies. Some of the funniest lines are in Eddie Murphy movies. However, one Eddie Murphy movie, "Trading Places" has a lot of funny lines, but one of the most profound (in my mind). If you recall, Eddie Murphy is being prepped to make a switch to the Ivy League/Philly Main Line world in "Trading Places." The butler in the movie was really perceptive, especially after years of catering to the snobs that lived in that mansion. As he sends Eddie Murphy off into the limo, he says "just be yourself, they can't take that away from you." Wow. For some reason, that stuck. Have any movie lines resonated with you?

The Thanksgiving holiday is but a few days away. Our family has been asked over for dinner by some friends from California, also living out of state, but in a city about 45 miles away. The obligatory shopping and doing of chores will take place on Friday and Saturday, and maybe there will be some time to drive around some quiet scenery to relax and get away. Hope everyone will have a nice Thanksgiving.

+1, on all your comments. With the new LaCrosse we emulate Lexus...and with the new Regal we emulate the Passat. (If you focus on the roofline and forget the taillamps for a second, it looks like a Passat). And I'm only talking about styling. Mechanically, it could be interesting. However, I don't like the way it looks. I miss brands like Pontiac, when you knew a Pontiac was a Pontiac, even when newly released and if its badging was hidden.

Enzora and REDO1GPGT: Happy birthday, gents! Special mention to Enzora, who started the immensely popular "Pictures!" thread, which is second only to Word Association in posts/views. Again, happy birthday!

Yes. I agree with this clarification. It would have to be cream, and not tan, to work well.

Tell us how you really feel. My parents have friends who relocated from Rancho Park (Pico/Westwood area) to South Orange a long time ago. They had one daughter. When I was last there in 2004, her mom pulled out this girl's wedding picture. The wedding dress was fairly low cut. She had these really exagerrated SPHERICAL tits. I remember her as having a runner's build. The, light bulb goes on *ah, yes, I'm in South Orange County* Yes, agreed, love the West Valley. Compared to the beach towns, it would be more affordable, but it has a very different vibe...maybe an even more relaxed one. Poor moltie, we're supplying him information overload.

Hiking (by yourself) in NM? The only reason I say this is because NM was the site of the last fatal mountain lion attack on a human recorded in North America. This one dude lived in the NM mountains in a trailer and he set up his bathroom (tub/shower/shaving area) outside. One fine day, while away from his trailer in his makeshift bathroom outside, he didn't even know what hit him. Very sad. So be careful Rob...and all you other SW aficionados.
