Kwame also never had been to a proper restaurant, so traveling away was a big culture shock for him. He resorted to carrying French Dressing with him on the road because he couldn't understand raspberry venaigrette (sp?) or bleu cheese dressing only being served.
He was a kid way out of his element when he got to the L and never mentally got over the hump. He is a big, incredibly strong and athletic guy (who never really gets hurt) and that's why he has stayed in the L for a decade.

Feel the same way, eCat... Grew up in the early '60s watching Andy and Barney. No doubt the best show ever to hit TV. Rest In Peace Andy.

He was a royal ass off-screen though, but when every asshole is asking how Aunt Bea and Barney are doing everyday, I guess you have the right to be cantankerous.

Glad to see you UK boys paying props to UNC Alum Andy Griffith. I think it's a birthright to watch every episode of that show about 17 times when you grow up in North Carolina. I guess folks in Kentucky related to Mayberry, too.

Yep, I'm guessing the entire country relates to Mayberry...I've seen probably just about every episode at least 17 times... the ones with the Darlilngs and Ernest T even more.

Saint.... a few years back I had a student in my 7th grade classroom who was a carbon copy of Ernest T.... Every action was exactly as Ernest T would do. The stories I could share...hilarious. The kid made my year. I've always thought that if Ernest T had a kid, it wouldl be Jessie.
sounds like lazy angels to me. why didn't they stop the plane from crashing?

I heard that FIBA wants to start a basketball version of the World Cup, and limit future olympic squads to players under 23 years old a la soccer...

Well, in deference to the supernatural, we have no idea who these "angels" were. Were they guarding the site as a part of God's Army? Were they the souls of the dead spending a few moments at the site before ascension? Was the agent lady in the early stages of bonkers?
