Where Have You Gone Mister Whipple? Tweet Even as a child, I could never understand what was so wrong about squeezing the toilet paper. Weird, yes, but not wrong.

Versed in the Classics Tweet There are shows on TV now that are good, but not a one of them is as good as The Rockford Files. Every episode is like a well-crafted movie and James Garner was just the king! BTW, you talk to homeschool kids and you’ll find that they know history (and most subjects) better than their public school counterparts and they know how to talk to adults.
