i feel i must respond to this.  while i agree that few things are more crushing than
driving an unreliable car through snow to find your beloved shacked up in the woods
with steve, you *know* that was really his name, that's the american version of
"marco", *but*.....ducky didn't try hard enough?

i dare say he tried *too* hard.  he went too far.  at least in andie's eyes.  and it
blew up in his face, much like the little can of tiny borders mints i was just trying
to open.  i think his undoing was shifting from the positivity of his love to his
hatred of *blaine*.  they're both rooted in the same thing, but everyone knows you
don't win too many points with anger in these situations.  *however*, he did not
deserve kristy swanson while that major appliance was somehow deemed redeemable.  i
was angry when i walked out of that theater 15 years ago, even though i wasn't quite
sure why, being ten and somewhat inexperienced, and i'm still angry.  i bet jon cryer
is too.  "but john, i wanna make out with andrew at the end of the movie, not *jon*."
and look at what karma did to her for that fateful decision.  "playing for
keeps"....."fresh horses"......."townies"

yet despite myself i'm still completely gaga over the woman.  she's aged superbly and
looked fantastic in interview last year.  sorry to hear about the white limos though.
that *is* a bit gauche.

always a duckman,

jay
