The convoluted procedures and tedious pace were part of the appeal, just as they are with baseball, or how baseball was before they messed it up. It was a whole alternate universe, with bizarre tokens, properties in some place called Atlantic City, and arcane institutions like "Community Chest." I finished many a game.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485410374923842372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-67024470389405596802023-04-17T13:16:47.157-05:002023-04-17T13:16:47.157-05:00It’s always to figure out how to fit into four sen...It’s always to figure out how to fit into four sentences<br />everything that can said about a movie. : )<br /><br />There are kids playing in the movie, <br />but I think they were put up to it.<br /><br />I think you’ll get a kick out of Man Bait.<br />Count the number of people working in the bookstore!<br /><br />Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-15994281739796534142023-04-17T10:39:54.532-05:002023-04-17T10:39:54.532-05:00P.S.

Do such children exist anymore?<br />Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.com
