    True story. I hadn't had a Pop-Tart in maybe a year or more until last week. Then I had 2 in a span of 3 days because they were brought back up here. Strawberry both times, because they are superior. Un-toasted because I was driving. I think I may prefer them that way now.
    Debatable. But, we are also all about mashed potatoes around here, and mashed potatoes > beer. So. That's not the reason.

    I revived the Pop Tart commentary the other day — after being inspired by reading the original few posts from way back on December 20, 2007 — in an attempt to help pad the numbers. Okay, I really just wanted to talk about Pop Tarts, but still.

    Maybe bring back the “West Side Story” hate? I’m just riffing here so don’t expect genius.

    Seriously, what is wrong with our society today that this is necessary? They do at least add a "WARSH UP!" at the end of each commercial now.

    Just staying the night at a lakefront campground on Saturday, because Mrs. wilson has to work on Sunday but we couldn’t bear to just bring the new rig straight home.
    We have several mountain weekends planned throughout the fall, and then 2 weeks in the Keys to finish the year.

    Sean Connery is 90 today.

    Pierce Brosnan is still the greatest Bond of all time. Don't @ me.

    That may be, but in '62 when it started with Dr. No, it was Connery who built the franchise.

    No doubt. He would definitely be my second favorite. I hear the "new" guy is really good, but I've never actually watched any of his.

    The WaPost has recent a story up on what it's like being an RV Newbie, though they were renting.

    I spent that July evening at a Virginia campground watching the owner spray Febreze around the Winnebago in an attempt to mask the smell of waste that had spewed out of the sewage hose. Before the dumping demo, he had assured us that the waste tank was empty. Our noses knew otherwise. After the owner departed, leaving us alone in the RV, my friend and I stayed up late scooping up dead bugs and fiddling with the air-conditioning, which was blowing subtropical air.

    Hmmm, they all brought such different things to the role, hard for me to pick a greatest. The movies changed so much when Daniel Craig took over that I find it impossible to compare him to previous Bonds. I grew up with the campy Roger Moore films which were awesome in their camp.

    Now who had the best Bond girls? That's a Pierce/Sean showdown if you ask me.

    Agree, the Craig movies are great action/spy movies but not really classic "Bond" movies. I enjoy them, I just try not to compare them.

    I was just about to ask this question somewhere on this board. Great opportunity...

    How to introduce my teens to James Bond? Start with Connery? Craig?

    Maybe , but I went back and watch a couple of the early ones recently, including Dr. No, and they do not age well - really creaky and dated.
