Movies

TCM recently had night of service comedies. One of the movies was Abbott and Costello's "Buck Privates." I had been wanting to rewatch it so I kicked back and laughed my arse off for 90 minutes. It's amazing how fresh and smooth the boys' routines remain. A great comedy and the Andrews Sister provide terrific musical bits. The movie didn't stop cold for them; their songs kept the energy up. Lots of fun. Now I have to find the A&C haunted house picture. That one was great, too. TCM remains a national treasure!

Eats

They look good and I'd love to try several of them, but in terms of health these are allegedly America's worst burgers. I am on a pretty strict diet now and so I cann't eat this kind of stuff, not that I was ever a fan of the various "mega burgers." But as I told my brother the other day, the worst thing is I miss the freedom to eat them if I by god wanted to.
