  True.  But it's been an awfully long time.  *drums fingers*  Hmm...  Damn, I
can't remember what flick it was, but there actually WAS one not all that long
ago where he did play an amusing role.  A WEIRD role, particularly for him, but
an amusing one nonetheless.  (It's gonna bug the hell out of me now until I
think of it.)

  There's actually a guy down the street from me that still flies a Dale
Earnhart (if you don't know the name...  Good for you) flag half-staff.

  Nice.  Particularly the self-sufficiency.  THAT I could be impressed with.
