Reviews:
I reviewed direct2drive.com - a site where computer games can be bought and
downloaded - as a great site - and they are having a $5 per game sale right
now; Chris agreed

Ken reviewed the re-opened Retro-dome [where the Winchester 25 theatre was]
as he saw 'Schoolhouse Rock Live' there & he had a great time

[evil] Kevin reviewed Hooters - as a restaurant review -  as the food was so
so and the company was worth more than full price; there were comments

Harold reviewed 'Inglorious Basterds' as go see it - and don't buy
pay-for-TV fights - because they'll be on peasant TV the next week & said
that the 'big-bad' for this season's 'Dexter' will be played by John Lithgow

Chris reviewed  'Nashville' as the best film from the 70's - absolutely
worth full price - reviewed 'Into the Aether' as the most pretentious comic
made in the US and 'Baby Got Back' is the perfect wedding song

Dave C reviewed SFX's 'Comic nook Heroes' as comprehensive

Jo reviewed his bike ride as having a tire blow was bad, but having it blow
out in front of a repair shop was 'priceless'

[tall] Kevin reviewed radio ads for the Fox animated blovk as <<there were
many shouted comments then for several minutes>>

Stellan reviewed seeing a Microsoft ad for having install parties for
Windows 7 - with suggestive bleeps added - as greatly naughty

Chris reviewed the DVD set of 'Buck Rogers in the 25th century' as she very
much recommends it

Ed reviewed a picnic as there was lots of sun, hot weather and he had fun

we did auctions:   birthday auctioned off Linda for $20.00 to Chris;
birthday auctioned off Geri for $10.00 to Ken; then video & a Marvin watch
for $8.00;   ponies for $1.00;  videos for $0.50, $1.50, $4.00;  & brass
cranes for $2.00

We adjourned at = 9:58

And the rumor of the week was: 'there was tongue'
