...watching people do the geekinest dance invention craze since the Wiggle or Watusi, Opa's White-man-style!

Good stuff!

Saw the film.

Cracked up when Robbie Robertson caught a fly after Scorsese did his New Yorker fast talk (not a dig on St. Martin).

Robbie put out an album of Native American songs - aces all around.

St. Martin is notorious for that close beach and road, pretty incredible when pilots come in a bit low.

"When will you pay me?" say the bells of Old Bailey

Here comes a candle to light you to bed
And here comes a chopper to chop off your head!

This is the book she's refering to From Wikipedia:

In a biography of Bush, Fortunate Son (ISBN 1-887128-84-0), James Hatfield investigated claims that Bush had been arrested for cocaine possession and that he had the record expunged; Hatfield said he found corroboration from three people close to the Bush family. Bush called Hatfield's book "totally ridiculous" but declined to discuss whether he had used drugs before 1974. [20]. Critics have pointed out the sources for the book are unnamed and the facts uncorroborated. Four days after its publication the book's publisher, St. Martin's Press, discovered that Hatfield had been previously convicted of attempted murder and spent five years in jail. When faced with the allegations Hatfield initially denied them but later admitted they were true. St. Martin's recalled the book and mothballed others. Hatfield pointed out that, before the Bush campaign brought pressure to bear, St. Martin's had stated that the book had been "carefully fact-checked and scrutinized by lawyers". ([21]) The book was later republished by another publisher shortly before Hatfield died of a drug overdose in an act of suicide.

Last sentence emphasis is mine. Yes *ahem* suicide.

OH Oh Oh! I know why they do that! Excuse me whilst i bore you with this.

The boeing 747 is a very heavy plane fully loaded, and st martins has a short runway. If the 747 was to take off normally, it would run out of runway. To stop this from happening, they taxi to the end of the runway and apply the parking brakes. After the brakes are applied, they bring the engine up to full RPM. When full RPM is reached, the brakes are released and the 747 accelerates at incredible speeds.

Sorry, just wanted to tell someone that.
