Best Movies Ever Made?
Cat Ballou? Greaser's Palace? The Loved One? A lot of the silent comedies tended to be kinda slapstick anyway. 12:08 East of Bucharest is pretty good Big Tits Zombie is hilarious but I think it would fall under slapstick or maybe splatterstick - actually there seems to be a genre of Japanese jiggle/horror/comedy/splatter movies that crack me up - probably not for everybody, tho.

Living & commuting alone, getting colds, flu, plague was a worry for me when I started riding the bus. I'd seen my coworkers with kids drop like flies during flu season. I was happily surprised that I never caught anything.

Moody's Downgrades Cincinnati Bond Rating A couple reasons why. One is different from past ratings: "High pension burden associated with the city's exposure to two statewide multi-employer cost-sharing plans" This involves police pension plans. Has this hit other Ohio cities? http://www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-downgrades-Cincinnatis-OH-GO-to-Aa2-from-Aa1-downgrades--PR_277877

So are they building north of Central Parkway first, i.e. the "OTR loop"? And 6 MONTHS between substantial completion of all work and the start of passenger service? WTH? yes, OTR is first; I'll get more details, but I'd imagine its FTA safety and security certification I would imagine they would start from the car barn
