I actually caught the movie about Gabaldon, 'Hell to Eternity', a while ago on History Channel. Very interesting, especially with the film v. history thing that HC used to do as a regular feature.

When I hear that I always think of 12 Step Program Co-ordinators/Councilors

Program participant:  "... and thats how crack cocaine made me eat my own feces."
Program Councilor:  " Uhhhh  ....  .....  thank you for sharing that with the rest of us TuPak."

Now there's something I could have easily skipped reading while getting dinner ready...

Instead I mourn my lost appetite...

Shouldn't it be Nitrous Oxide? Nitric Oxide is what they use on preemies with respiratory issues...

Or is that part of the joke?  ???
