"Take it easy, Doc, you're boldly going where no man has gone before."
"Find Amelia Earhart yet?"
"Can you hear me NOW?"
"Oh boy, that was sphincterrific!"
"Could you write me a note for my wife, saying that my head is not,
in fact, up there?"
"You know, in some states, we're now legally married."
"Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?"
"You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out.. You do the
Hokey Pokey...."
"Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"
"If your hand doesn't fit, you musta quit!"
"Hey, Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."
"You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?"
"Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"

I hadn't even bothered to look but you're right, there are some good deals on there. I'm interested in the La Gloria Cubana Artesanos Retro Especiales. Nice morning smoke. I had an LGC N yesterday and really enjoyed that too. And the Wavell was one of the first cigars I ever remember really enjoying. So I guess I'm saying that I like LGCs.
-
Morning Fishy and Mr. Mayor.
What's your plan for today, Dave?

Morning Fishy and Mr. Mayor.
What's your plan for today, Dave?
Nothing too much, son is back at college, so it is much quieter. Daughter is coming up with some friends for a concert in Philly this evening, so the hotel is back in business.

Seems to still work but then I lose the banner for the 48 hour sale. Make sure to save the link.
-
Hit a 10-pack with the free ship link, worked but took some round about tactics. When you hit the free ship link the 48 hour deal banner is not there so I had to put them in my cart, close out and open free ship link and they were still in the cart
