I don't think I would make it one lap! :lol:

Chuey won't like that video because they repeat too many scenes (eye of the tree frog ;) ).

I sure do wish TT3D: Closer To The Edge would have made it to the "Arts" theatres here in the States. I wrote and asked them if they were going to show it, they wrote back and said "No.".
But they show so many of the run-of-the-mill movies that you can see in the generic theatres...
It was at this theatre that I went to see World's Fastest Indiana - twice!
Bastards!

Yes, it is available on DVD, but I want to see it on the big screen in 3D.

I heard the IOM track described as "37 1/4 miles long and 1 foot wide".
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

I'm sorry, but that reference is completely lost on me.

It's a solid field stone house. Not something you want to slide into.

I've heard the term my entire life, but Google brought up nothing I had not seen before.
Once again the 'mericans have twisted the term until it represents nothing from the Old World.
