My comment doesn't deserve... well, comment... [In reply to] Can't Post

But...

I would imagine that, etymologically, the word 'news' is derived from 'new', i.e. 'news' means 'that which is new'... So, given 'old news' (as a phrase) is a bit contradictory, and, with a similar derivation as 'news', perhaps 'olds' would work...

I really wish I hadn't said anything now... Blush

I got it, and thought it was cute. [In reply to] Can't Post

It sounds like the sort of humor I grew up with :-) My dear grandmother, now long departed, was fond of that sort of joke. I'm glad you posted it.

So was my grandmother, now passed some 40 years... [In reply to] Can't Post

She was the best I've ever known at "It Pays to Enrich Your Word Power" from the Readers' Digest. Consistent 19s or 20s every one I ever knew her to take - or my mom for that matter. Mom would score consistently 18s - 19s, grandma 19s - 20s and I was consistently 17s - 18s. So even though I consistently beat the scoring system for very good word knowledge I was only 3rd in my family!

Just another desperate money grab by the studios, but... [In reply to] Can't Post

...if Hollywood stopped making awful movies that are reviled and forgotten after opening weekend we wouldn't have a problem.
