Cabbage violence

We got in a bunch of discount DVDs at work, including the first three seasons of the A-Team. They're 19.99 instead of the usual $50-60. Meep meep! The A-Team is comfort food for me. I am periodically overcome with the need to watch back to back episodes. And since I've cut myself off from buying books, yet still have a GC to spend...

"Only during the 1980s could this peculiar blend of lefty politics and military fetishism have thrived. Though supposedly mercenaries-for-hire, the A-Team usually finds itself defending the downtrodden and helpless out of sheer cussedness. In the second season they helped abused migrant workers form a union--which, naturally, required transmogrifying farm equipment into a cabbage-shooting cannon." [from the amazon description]

I have never forgotten the cabbage canon, since I first saw the episode as a child.

Love Song of the Day: Talk to me dammit!

Take your choice...

1. "Taking Chances" co-written by Dave Stewart with a little "talk to me talk to me like lovers do" thrown in (which is the best part of the song); or


2. "Here Comes the Rain Again." The original talk-to-me-walk-with-me plea for love. [I post this just as it starts to rain again! But not on my head. ...And not like a tragedy.]
