In my opinion, there really is no such thing as a "good" frozen pizza - - no matter what brand you buy, if you just take it out of the box and slap it in the oven, you are still just going to have a nasty frozen pizza experience. What I do is just buy the cheap ones (Totino's party pizza - - on sale) and just use that as a starting point, adding my own extra toppings to make it a tasty pizza experience. You can get really creative, putting on various cheeses, pepperoni, sausage, sliced jalepenos, pineapple chunks, etc. I keep things like that on hand and it just takes a minute to doctor it up. Also, they are small, so you can make multiple, different ones to satisfy varying tastes. Another option is to buy the ready-made crusts (Boboli) and make your own pizza from the ground up - - I do this sometimes and my kids love them.
It is my understanding that on the state of Washington, what matters is if you key is in the ignition. You can be parked, engine off and cold, but still be considered legally in control of the vehicle if the keys are in the ignition. An accquaintance of mine once learned this the hard way when he realized he had had to much and did the right thing and pulled over to sleep it off, then got rousted while sleeping and ended up with a DUI. Even the judge admitted it was unfair, but said that was the law....
One of my favorite movies. It is a testament to Stanley Kramer's directing abilities that it turned out as well as it did. With what was probably the single largest amount of giant egos ever assembled on the same set, you still get the feeling that they were all having fun and just enjoying working together. It is hard to imagine a project with a cast like that turning into anything but a giant mess (see any of the "Cannonball Run" movies), but somehow Kramer made it work.
Two things not mentioned in the article that I think deserve mention: ALL service members, regardless of rank, salute a medal of honor recipient - - for example if a private is a medal of honor winner, generals have to salute him. It is also my understanding that any children of a medal of honor recipient are eligible to receive an autamatic appointment to the service academy (i.e. West Point, Annapolis, etc.) of their choice if they so desire.
Here's a little-known fact: My grandparents lived in Seattle and were neighbors/friends with the insurance agent that had written the policy on the Narrows bridge. When the bridge failed and the state went to collect on the policy and get the ball rolling on reconstruction, it turned out that since (at the time) it was considered the most modern, well-designed suspension bridge in the world, the agent had made the desision to not tell his superiors that he had written the policy and had been pocketing th premiums. The company was forced to honor the policy, as the state had all of the properly signed and notarized policy documents, but I guess they were pretty unhappy with their agent. I do not know what, if anything happened to him punishment-wise as a result.
While I agree with michaelbegood that these allegations of subliminal messages promoting devil worship or immoral behaviour are laughable, I must take issue with the statement that "Disney is not trying to brainwash our children". Have you ever WATCHED the Disney channel? It is like one long, horrifying, manipulative commercial for Disney and Disney-related commercial ventures, and it is aimed directly at children - - I am unable to watch it for more than a few minutes without getting pretty disgusted...
I used to work with an older gentleman who was in Elvises' army unit in Germany and knew him fairly well. Whenever someone asked him what Elvis was like, he always said that the one thing that he really remembered about him was that he was a pretty sickly kid - - had a number of health problems and seemed very fragile. I am a big Elvis fan, but that is a side of him that I have never really seen discussed elsewhere.
I feel like I am special when you respond to one of my comments! Of course the answer (at least when I was in grade school) was "Cars don't start with P (pee), they start with gasoline! *cue childish giggling*
She was my boss and was a brilliant and funny person (you would have liked her, I bet.) - - she was amazing at navigating through the jungle of arcane reqirements and hoops you needed to jump through to successfully deal with the federal government while simultaneously turning a profit on these types of deals, and was worth every penny she was paid, believe me....
I always laughed at the "$435.00 hammer" story until I worked for a company that sometimes worked on federal government contracts. One time we were contacted to supply a specific hard-to-get part for the refrigeration system on a U.S. Navy or Coast Guard ship - - by the time our companies' highest paid employee had spent the better part of TWO DAYS filling out compliance forms (manufacturing origin, safety certification, testing history, etc.) that 3 dollar part ended up costing U.S. taxpayers almost $1,000.00...
Thurl Ravenscroft also sang the song ("You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch...) in the original animated "the Grinch That Stole Christmas". Many times I have heard people insist that it was sung by Boris Karloff, but he only did the spoken narration - - Ravenscroft did the singing.
