“Mongrelgate,” My Ass: Who Among Us Didn’t Cry When Old Yeller Died?

I’ve got a thirtysomething coworker named Frances who swears up and down that, until I came along, nobody had ever said “Lighten up, Frances” to her. Is that even possible?

I forgot how much I loved the movie Stripes.  Now I’ve got to make a deter past the video store today and pick it up.  I can watch it tonight and eat cheesecake bites after my phone-banking party.
