dear vanagan -
regarding grammar
modern style book - now universal .. -- hmm maybe -maybe not -
what about the 92 year old government sign with " ' " incorrectly placed
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/08/22/sign.vandals.ap/index.html
any way the point of posting this video was not to debate the veracity of it
-
as if all things on video were true ( i just watched I am Legend and saw a
bazzilion inaccurate incongruous items)
the point of sharing the video was to have a laff that the BAD Guy in the
video is driving an air cooled VW Van
as if that were the vehicle of choice for bad guys -
like in Fanaka' s Emma Mae a film which includes a black hippie guru driving
a T -3 as a bank robber's get away vehicle
"oh ya lets pour on the coals - make sure the get away plan includes
pointing the bus down hill"
yours'

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
