April 15, 2008 at 1:43 AMactually, this one took me longer to get than it should have, for some reason I got focused on parts of the conversation that were less obvious than the repeated part about "What's in the box?" After coming to the realization of what the movie is, I had to go through my personal collection and watch it again.

March 28, 2008 at 3:55 PMThis was an excellent topic for DA, thanks neverspend for the suggestion. I have always felt that if a person gets a tattoo it should be in a place that can be covered whenever there is a need, but that doesn't exactly help neverspend at this point. I have a tattoo on my arm of an oriental style dragon with 龍年 going down next to it. For work I deal with people from different countries/cultures and I can cover it by wearing a short sleeve shirt. Most of my Chinese coworkers say that they like it, but could be just being polite, and were actually surprised that I knew what the characters were. I find that most people in America that get Chinese character tattoos have no idea if the character is correct or not.

March 24, 2008 at 9:56 PMI think more lessons on hobbies like this would be great. Personally I would love to see some lessons on painting. I do oil paintings of landscapes mostly, but you could discuss different mediums and different types (abstract, wildlife, landscape, portraits, calligraphy, etc.)

March 17, 2008 at 5:37 AMHappy St. Patrick's Day to all of those that celebrate it. For someone like myself (with very little Irish blood), it just gives me a good excuse to drink green beer and take the next day off work. Fortunately, for me, I am working nights for the next couple weeks (11PM to 7AM).

March 17, 2008 at 5:11 AMI have to agree, the music does give this away, that and the line about putting money into the peanut. I haven't seen this movie for about 15 years, so I went home and watched it over the weekend..

March 14, 2008 at 10:45 PMVery nice to hear from Alice and Josh on their experiences visiting China. I would have to agree with calkins, Josh seems like a very nice and sweet young man, and his appearance on this edition of DA was refreshing.

April 15, 2008 at 1:51 AMall of the lessons about hotels are great, is there a lesson about getting a wake-up call. If not that would appreciate it if you could fit one in since I am looking forward to my first trip to China next month.
