NYTimes story on Archie & Olivia Manning

So is "Girl With Dragon Tatoo" slated for the ladies ?

 

Also, the book Peyton and Archie wrote together disparaged a former Tennessee trainer, and she settled a defamation suit with them after getting a reported $300,000 from the university alleging harassment.

Maybe that doesn't need to be brought up in every Manning profile this week, but it does mean they are a little more complicated than the narrative they've been assigned.

And I was given a copy of The Help for Christmas.

 

Boom, truth be told, it will probably be the book freakin 'Dear John' was based on... or some such crap.

Why don't you draw us up a list, Boom. ;D

 

Will do. I'll survey the ladies at the local coffee shops- where the big decisions are made.

 

So what hors douvres are you bringing the next time it's your turn, Lugnuts?

 

Well, we usually eat out.

Boom, you are welcome at our next meeting - dinner at The Lime.

Please wear your Uggs and come prepared with info on soccer camps.

 

Give me some advance notice so I can get my hair colored.

We can all go next store after dinner and get tattoos.

I have info on youth football concussions and why your children should not play.

 

Boom with a Venus side. Who knew?

 

Peyton said the trainer "had a vulgar mouth."

On a scale of disparaging comments, that places him somewhere between Wally Cleaver and Lumpy Rutherford.

Still a long way to get to Eddie Haskell.

 

Please, let the Saints permit us to see Curtis P. in action.

Polian falling out of his luxury box would also be a nice touch.

 

Not an odd detail at all. But Thayer obviously gave the readers too much credit in assuming they'd see past any literal translation.
