Memorial Day Miscellaney

First, before we get to the official linking, sincere condolences to the family and friends of Paul Gleason, who not only played the principal in The Breakfast Club, but also played one of Doc Savage's aides in the campy wish-it-were-on-DVD 1975 movie. (Check out Johnny B's tribute for some more info). He was one of the more versatile character actors, and will be missed.

And now, some random thoughts:

• Although Memorial Day's turned into an unofficial party day, let's remember why we celebrate: to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
• I want this comic!
• Between discussing Doctor Who with a friend yesterday, and this post on Greg's blog, I'm flashing back to high school in a good way.
• Speaking of yesterday, during the same discussion - jugglers are better than mimes. Jugglers have to have some talent to juggle (just ask Andy) - anyone can be a mime. And mimes can be a little touchy about it.
• Reminder: blogiversary giveaway deadline is Tuesday at 8:00 pm. Milk and Cheese are worth it.
  

And now, plagiarizing near-twin Roger, some items in the (kind of sort of) spirit of Memorial Day - have a good one!
