The answer to yesterday's question is that they were all Jack Lemmon movies. Today's qustion is: Head, can, throne, what do these three things have in common?
Just as I was going to ask for prayers that they find the missing Air France Jet I read this story on AOL: http://news.aol.com/article/air-france-plane-missing/505817?icid=main|htmlws-sb|dl1|link3|http%3A%2F%2Fnews.aol.com%2Farticle%2Fair-france-plane-missing%2F505817. A British Airliner spotted parts of a plane in the Atlantic Ocean.
My heart goes out to the relatives of the passengers and crew of the missing French Airliner.
I went to a movie this weekend and frankly the movie would have to improve to be awful. "Ghosts of Girl Friends Past" starring Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, and Michael Douglas. I’d give it a minus five footballs. One minus football for a stolen story line. One minus football for a terrible waste of acting talent. One minus football for sexiest comments throughout the movie. One minus football for casting Jennifer Garner as a Doctor, which would be like casting me as Casanova. One minus football for cheesy lines like “spooning is good but forking is better.” Basically don’t waste your time.
I never did wear shorts before but lately I’ve been going out of my comfort zone. I went out and bought a pair of shorts and started wearing them. Wore them when I worked on Mom’s yard. When I came back in Mom and the caregiver both said “do you know you have really nice legs?” That kind of stunned me. Then when we went to the casino last week it was a nice so day so encouraged by the caregiver’s comment (I ignored Mom’s because that is a mother who is required by the mother code of ethics to say nice things about me) I wore shorts. When I was gambling my sister came by and said “you have really nice legs.” Whoa ignoring the wondering if moms and sisters should be looking a son’s or brother’s legs it did kind of build up my confidence a little. So I went out and bought another pair of shorts. And I am going to wear them more often now. Another case of trying new things. I do have a question for the women here, do women really look at things like men’s legs? I know us men look at women’s legs. It is in our genes and part of our job description. Am I going to have to start checking my butt out in the mirror before I put my profile on a dating site?
Other questions for today, seen any good or bad movies lately? Read any good or bad books lately? What do head, can and throne have in common?
May this be a great day for everyone with people saying nice things about you!

The plane going down is indeed a tragedy. And a mystery. I hope they manage to find out what happened to it. It's supposed to be a wonderful plane, but very high-tech, and maybe without enough manual control options if the electronics go out. That's a top of my head analysis of a little bit that I heard. Will keep an eye on news reports for real information.
GHOSTS sounds like a truly awful movie, with that "forking" line among the worst I've heard. [g]
Do women look at men's legs? Well, yeah, we look at everything. Legs are not exactly top of the list, though. {eg}
I haven't seen any movies lately. Well, I saw WALL-E on cable, and thought it very cute. I rented TELL NO ONE, which had great reviews, but didn't impress me much. I also rented RELIGULOUS, but it wouldn't load onto my DVD player, which makes me wonder about my player's religious persuasion.
Today's answer via email.
Hi Pat
There was a report in today's paper that the plane might have hit been by lightening while in a thunderstorm.
Your comment about legs begs the question, what is on the top of the list?
Bill
It is so terrible about the plane going down. My heart goes out to the relatives/friends of the passengers and crew also.
The movie does sound bad. I wasn't really impressed with the previews, but have to say that I haven't been that impressed with the last several movies I saw with Matthew McConaughey. But thanks for the heads up!
We don't normally go to theaters anymore. Haven't been for years. Used to take the kids until they were teenagers, and then didn't go for a long time until my friend passed away suddenly and we took her kids for a couple of years. So it has been since at least 2001 since we have been. We just wait for it to come out on DVD or HBO!
But a few months back we did see a movie I had never heard of and really loved. "Something the Lord Made" Based I believe on a true story about Vivien Thomas a cardiac pioneer and Alfred Blalock known as the Blue Baby doctor. Stars included Mos Def, Alan Rickman and Mary Stuart-Masterson.
So that is my most recent good movie worth talking about.
Books? Nothing anyone here would be interested in I am sure.
As far as legs on a man? I like to look at them also. As far as what Pat is talking about I have no clue. :)
The Shankster quit wearing shorts the first year I was with him..in the 80's. Don't know why I like his legs and tell him so every time I see them.
So Bill if you are comfortable and like to wear shorts...I say wear them! You never know that certain wild lady may just be waiting to see those legs before she makes her move!
Hi Dona
Maybe when you and The Shankster come out to help me with my weeds we cand do a leg off.
The last McConaughey movie I liked was based on a Grisham novel the title of which I can't seem to remember right now. Sandra Bullock was his co-star. Every M.M. movie since then stunk.
I know I am not the only one here that loves Alan Rickam so I wrote down the name of the movie and will rent it.
I might be interested in any book that you read!
Bill
I know which movie you are talking about and I can't think of the title either! And you are right, his movies pretty much have stunk since then!
Let me know if you liked the movie. It was an older movie, by that at least 4 years and so I figured everyone in the world had seen it but me.
Ok you asked for it. I am reading "How to Keep your VW Beetle Alive" by John Muir. :)
Hib Dona
A Time To Kill. I remembered it without Google!
Believe it or not that book sounds extremely entertaining to me!
Bill
Sorry, Bill. I wasn't evading your question about what women look at first. The truth is, I have no idea. I sort of take in the whole package without zeroing in on any particular body part. The joke seems to be that the buns get the first look, but they're just part of the total as far as I'm concerned.
A TIME TO KILL is a really good movie. The book was John Grisham's first, that he had to self-publish, and I still think it's his best.
SOMETHING THE LORD MADE is also very good, and I'll see anything with Alan Rickman in it. I think this one was made for HBO, but not sure.
I didn't mention a book. I'm reading Scott Turow's REVERSIBLE ERRORS at the moment. It's fine, but pretty complex and I'm not sure I'd recommend it. Before that, I read ALIAS GRACE by Margaret Atwood, and I liked that one a lot.
Hi Pat
I knew you weren't avoiding the question, I actually thought your comment was funny and I was responding in the same spirit.
I also think A TIME TO KILL is his best but the one true crime book that he did THE INNOCENT MAN comes in a close second, imho. The rest of his books all the endings are the same. Someone ends up over says, away from the bad guys, with a ton of money.
Being an HBO movie is why I haven't heard of SOMETHING THE LORD MADE because four years ago I didn't have HBO.
As to Turow I haven't liked his books since his very first one, which title escapes me but it was made into a movie with Harrison Ford.
One of my favorite books of all time was The Blind Assasin by Atwood.
Bill
Oops, sorry. I had a sense of humor lapse there (about what we women look at first).
Yes, AN INNOCENT MAN is a terrific book. I always forget to include that one because it's nonfiction.
Was the first Turow book PRESUMED INNOCENT? That was a movie with Harrison Ford, but there may be another Turow story with him.
I read THE BLIND ASSASSIN some time ago, and I remember I liked it, but have forgotten everything else. Maybe I'll read it again. I loved THE HANDMAID'S TALE, and I've read some of Atwood's short stories, which are excellent.
Hello Pat, I was jokingly responding to your comment also..hope you knew that~! Bill and your comments on the Buns is too funny. I can just see him checkin out his in the mirror before going out. SO I started thinking...my first husband had a Big ole butt....the Shankster has none. Go figure.
I noticed the Shankster for the twinkle in his eyes. So there you have it Bill. You really don't know what us gals are lookin at! :)
I had no idea that the movie Something the Lord Made was just for HBO/(which explains a lot) I just figured since we don't usually go to theaters we missed it! But I did like it a lot. And I am with you all I like just about anything with Alan Rickman in it.
Hi Pat
PRESUMED INNOCENT was the one I was thinking of. I've tried a few of his books since then and have always been disappointed.
THE BLIND ASSASSIN was really two books in one sort of in the sci-fi genre. The now was going on at the same time as the then.
Bill
Hi Dona
I checked out my buns in the mirror and I probably falls someone where in between the first husband and The Shankster. I honestly don't know if it is a nice one since I don't know what women would consider nice ones. Now if I can just figure out a way to take a picture of my legs to put on my profile.
I don't really think I have a twinkle in my eyes, I've been told that I have kind eyes. I do have a fun spirit.
Now since I don't know what women look at I have to do a body scan before going out.
Bill
Yes, women look at men's legs and at their buns. I generally go for buns first (g), but that may be because Himself's are perfect.
Glad to hear you're into wearing shorts. Himself does on rare occasions and his legs are up there with the nicest.
Now, to be honest, the first thing I notice -- and it's a major turnoff -- is whether a man has a beer belly. I don't expect abs of steel, but when the belly hangs over the belt... no need for a second glance.
Hi Dr
I hope Himself reads this!
Time to go do some kegels.
Bill
