Have most of my life. Of course I haven't read it much since childhood (my father was always fervently contemplating the purchase of something he never ended up purchasing, but he did keep sending his subscription checks to CR).

That's what all primitive people really want to know about you. They get to the point where they've figured out that you're either male or female (even though they they can't see either a penis gourd or pendulous dugs), and they know your approximate age (somewhere ... http://www.gallerynews.com/americanbystander/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=48 http://www.gallerynews.com/americanbystander/index.php?p=43 http://www.gallerynews.com/americanbystander/index.php?p=43#comments Thu, 04 May 2006 21:17:29 +0000 General http://www.gallerynews.com/americanbystander/index.php?p=43 Monday night I was flying to JFK from Heathrow and exhausted my reading material before we passed Newfoundland. I found Caddyshack listed on the in-flight movie menu, but everytime I looked for it on the assigned channel I got a mid-80s Molly Ringwald turkey instead.
