The Bride: Where's Bill?
Buck: Please stop hitting me...
The Bride: WHERE'S BILL?
Buck: I-I don't know who Bill is!
The Bride: BULLSHIT!
Buck: Well, ain't you the little slice of cutie pie they said you were. "Jane Doe," huh? Well, we don't know shit about you, huh? Well, I'm from Huntsville, Texas. My name is Buck, and I'm here to fuck, ha-ha-ha...

I bought this teapot on my St. Louis road trip. Sujomi took me to a flea market my last day in town. I saw this teapot and had to have her. When I asked about the price, I made a mental note that if she was $10 or less, she'd be mine. She was $10.

I did a little research today and learned that she is quite the collectible. Made by a company called Napco (National Potteries Corporation) that started up in 1939 in Cleveland, Ohio. She's worth quite a bit more than I paid for her, but I don't love her for her monetary value, I love her because she's a Cutie-Pie!

Cam came home from band camp tonight. All reports are that he took to the bass drum quite well. He also discovered that marching with a base drum hanging from your shoulders, in 90 degree heat, for hours on end, is one hell of a workout!

I did something tonight I have never done before - I went to a Chinese buffet - ALONE!

Does anyone else ever wonder if the Chinese writing really does
translate onto the English restaurant name?
