Martin Fleming meets a watery end, but from beneath the surface something new will arise.

 
"Why would I do that?"

She scoffed. "Because you're a teenager! What do you think you'll be doing from now on?
Do you think you're still retired? Are you going to dig in the garden and play bingo and shuffleboard?"

"I never did those things!" I protested.

Phaedrus The Elder

As sleepy little towns go, Haven was about half way between Cat nap and Rip Van Winkle. Unfortunately for the residents it was slipping into Rip Van Winkle more everyday. Sleepy was a tourist attraction, comatose was a ghost town. The town residents are not lazy or stupid but rather ham-strung as to how to solve their problems.

Barbie Girl

Author's note: This is based on an incident my mother swears happened ...

One summer day, my little boy gave me a lot to think about.

The Faithful, North African and Middle Eastern Islamic nations, are plotting to seize the oil resources of the Middle East. By controlling the earth's oil and its major trade routes, they plan to bring the world to its knees. Then, when the entire world is kneeling, the Faithful of Allah will read to them from the Koran, preaching the message of Islam, the True Faith. The Faithful will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. But how far will they go? And how many lives will it cost?

THE FULLER BREAST MAN is an odd movie for several reasons, but perhaps the oddest things about this old black + white comedy is that it was released at all, especially in 1957 when it was fairly taboo to even saying the word "breast" in films. It stars Bob Hope (and then Eve Arden) as Chester Buxley, a door to door salesman with a suitcase full of products from the Fuller Breast Corporation, which as the name implies sells a bustline enhancement product. But unlike that junk you see advertised in the back pages of magazines their stuff actually works- a formula with magical properties that makes bosom of whoever drinks it swell almost instantly.
