I knew the synthetic agate created Mel in your avatar. From Frankensten?

That was a great movie! Another favorite Mel Brooks movie is Blazing Saddles, even though it's not PC now. I've seen them both so many times, I know most of the lines.

While Frahnk-en-steen was one of my most favorite movies. There is one clear and away favorite; "the best movie ever" for the shotgunner household.

My boss teaches me mexican colloquillisms. Like the pushing twins one from last week. Scott, I have a question for you to ask your boss. You know the saying in English, to be "a fly on the wall" as in, "I'd give anything to be a fly on the wall when when that happens." Well, a Spanish-speaking friend of mine always said "una mosca muerta en la pared." I never did get why it would be a dead fly on the wall. Maybe she had it wrong?

Thanks for that, Scott. I'd always thought that wasn't right. Gracias jefe para mí.

Today I learned -
a veces el mejor cazador no alcanza la liebre
"Soemtimes the best hunter misses the hare" and is used when a true expert, for some unexplained reason, cannot understand what should be a simple concept.
The best tile man in California today could not grok a very simple tile pattern. I have seen him to very complicated ones, but, for some reason he missed the hare on this simple one. Pepe is the best. There may be others as good. Nobody is better.
Jean thanks for the email!
