Like the McNamara quote in your sig phil, how did you like 'The Fog of War'? I've watched it a few times now and McNamara seems to be a really nice guy, very sincere, and open to admitting his mistakes, I'd like to meet him, looks like he'd be interesting to talk to.

Shitty, I was wondering when I was watching it if he was still alive. From the books I've read he seemed like a prick, but that movie really presented him in a new light to me, he seemed sincerely sorry for the mistakes he made.

Hon, I've been trying to auction them off, not buy them!! :-p
A friend of mine in a car club lost a leg a couple weeks ago at an event, and auctioning off dates with girls is one of the fundraisers they're doing.
