    The soundtrack is probably the only reason I'll see Ironman.

    I had never really heard of Ironman before and I enjoyed it. The soundtrack was pretty fun. Harold and Kumar 2 was less enjoyable, though. I was really looking forward to that movie.

    I think if they kept it somewhat normal like the first one things would be okay. It was also overly vulgar.. like... they'd have a scenario and instead of doing something funny/vulgar like the first one, they'd just go with vulgar. Meh. Was a lot like the first one, except not funny.

    I like his style of writing, it's very accessible and not dry, unlike some historical tomes. He reminds me a little of Edward Crankshaw, the guy who wrote those great books on the Hapsburgs and Bismark.

    A bit of trivia, the guy's name is actually, John Julius Cooper, 2nd Viscount Norwich and he is descended from King William IV and his mistress, Dorothy Jordan and so, shares a common kinship with the scientist/historian Adam Hart-Davis ("What the Romans/Tudors/Ancients did for Us"), and David Cameron, leader of the UK's Conservative party.

    Mrs. Arrrgh! and I made a ton in Monte Carlo. We weren't dressed ritzy enough to enter the main "Eyes Wide Shut" area, so we puttered away on the slot machines that aristocrats play with while waiting for the chaufeur to bring their cadilac around. We made enough for dinner that night

    Generally the average return on investment is less than 1:1. If it is less than 1:1 it's a bad idea in general.

    Heh, some crazy people my parents know would go to a casino every night in matching clothes and gamble the night away.. they were always really successful but I assumed they were demons so they don't count. I'm being half serious. Something was... unnatural.
