I bet you enjoy it even more now that you're older.

Maybe fans just wanted his autograph, but who knows?

Yes, it is, but for some, there exists only THEIR viewpoint.

See below, but you are right.  The look on her face was priceless.

I mean, who would have thought there would be an alien jazz band in another

I hate lying, but sometimes you have to in order to spare someone else's
feelings.  The result is that everybody lies for one reason or another.  I try
very hard not to.
