Watch a Jackie Chan movie. I'm over media paranoia.

Has anyone ever asked to cut in line in front of you at the store because they "only have a few items"? Comes across more like, "I can't wait for you but you can wait for me." Someone asked to do that and blew a gasket when I pointed to the empty self checkout that was four feet away. Even though this person checked out long before we did, he was still being snarky at us afterward.
I've offered to let people go in front of me, but I've never asked. Asking just seems weird and rude to me. If I was in a really huge hurry, and absolutely had to have the stuff and every single line in to check out was long, then I might, but I've run into that situation.He had gotten in line, then left -- I assume to check out the other lines -- then came back, then only asked to cut in line after half our items had been placed on the conveyor belt.
I don't remember if anyone's ever offered to let me go in front of them, but I will never ask to cut in front of someone.
Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh are the best things to come out of China
That's correct, though she became famous doing Hong Kong action films.Isn't Michelle Yeoh Malaysian?
I didn't want to post this in the show's thread since I'm not caught up, but there's one big thing that's always bugged me with the two Quantum Leaps. Sam and Ben leap into these people's bodies, make these huge drastic changes to their lives, and then the person comes back into this new situation with no idea what the hell happened.

The new series does touch upon since Magic had been leapt into as well as the person future Ian had leapt into who drew Ian's face.They do this in both versions of the show and I never really gave it that much thought but now that you mention it yes, now I do wonder how the person involved deals with it.

Oh ok I haven't kept up with the reboot series that much to be honest.
Since ballets started in courts as pageantry and they could be named after their patrons it would not surprise me that he had a ballet commissioned and named after him.I’m in O’Hare International Airport right now and I just saw an ad for something called “The Joffrey Ballet”.
Hmmm. Now maybe I’m way off base here but a king that violent shouldn’t have a ballet named afer him, amirite?![]()

Yes, yes it is. It's frustrating to me what people would rather have than money. Yes, I realize values vary but...sometimes I just shake my head.Art is ultimately a long con. You have to convince someone that it’s valuable and obtain money from them. It’s amazing what people will pay lots of money to see or read.
And if you want to be in the arts, you really need rich parents to support you. A lot of actors come from money, so they have the safety net. The patrons have become the family.Yes, yes it is.
