Cigar porch ponderings

I lit a long, hand rolled Dominican and watched the kids in the playground across the parking lot. As usual I thought about different ways I might "thin out the heard" a little without getting caught and imprisoned. Unfortunately, to date I still haven't come up with anything fool proof. Here are some other things I wrote down while sitting out there:

Favorite movie scene: Vincent & Mia's Twist competition in the Movie Pulp Fiction.
Favorite movie: Pulp Fiction
Favorite line from Pulp Fiction (and there are MANY): Vincent says to Mia, after she agrees they shouldn't mention her nearly fatal heroin overdose to her gangster husband- "Shake on it. Mum's the word. Cool. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going home and have a heart attack."
Favorite burger: Bacon Cheeseburger. Homemade of course. On a toasted bun.
Favorite cartoon: Real old Popeye's. The ones where he mutters on and on. He's hilarious.
Favorite car if money is no object: Jaguar
Favorite car in the real world: Pontiac

There you go. To know me is to love me. Or, in some cases, it is to pity me.
