I was wondering why I've never been in Barney Greengrass, so I checked the menu. No booze. Nuf said.

My alma mater had a total student population of about 1100. I didn't need to be in a frat.

Speaking of which, I will be in TCOTU this evening, in midtown, if anyone wants to grab a drink.

Re: Reacher
 

He's a ripoff of Travis McGee, who is a much better character (although outdated since the last book of the series was written in 1985).

"To diggers a thousand years from now...the works of John D. MacDonald would be a treasure on the order of the tomb of Tutankhamen."
-- Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

There are rumors that Dicaprio is going to play McGee in The Deep Blue Goodbye (the first book in the series, published in 1964). This would not be good casting.

Re: Towards A Virtual Williamsburg!
 

Ferrets is a big Travis McGee fan. I concur that DiCaprio would not be a good casting choice, although in fairness, he surprised me in "Blood Diamond."

McGee is a written as a very large man. If memory serves, he played for the then Los Angeles Rams. Sam Elliott did a creditable job as McGee in a made for TV movie in the early Eighties, but he is a bit long in the tooth for the role today. I envision McGee as Howie Long.

Everybody had thier own car.

Re: Reacher
 

I remember two different Travis McGee movies from the late 60s to early 70s. Dean Martin played McGee in one. (Picture a lovable drunk who manages to fuck up his way into and out of improbable situations allowing him to wax cynically about the evil that men do as he nuzzles a busty blonde's neck. Robert Mitchum played the character in the other one. (Mickey Spillane in shorts and living on a houseboat.)

DiCaprio can do neither of these.

Tracy must be the easiest role for Tracy to play. I love this guy.

If that's how you want to carry yourself, that's fine.
