I believe I have gotten requests from you and you do no such thing!
Let me tell you a story [1/18]
Just avoid prose in general! I LOVE BULLET POINTS. But seriously, people really do make their requests in the form of a narrative and it drives me crazy because you have to wade through it to find the salient info.
Here's a tip: if you are contacting a museum to request an image, it is not necessary to include four lonnnnnng paragraphs about your protracted journey to inspiration and enlightenment..
You could say "and saw many different animals therein," which is ending on a preposition and absolutely grammatically sound.

It's Harriet Tubman Day, and we're all still waiting for her to appear on the $20 bill, which won't happen for at least three more years. In the meantime, here's Elizabeth Catlett's superb linocut from 1953:

Maybe my favorite Ballard novel. He's late to the shopping mall but eager to please.

The Wikipedia article claims it is "rare" but the Discogs and eBay listings suggest otherwise!
Their hit song "Playboy" is extremely bland for 1968! Debbe's hairdo is literally the only interesting thing about this act: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xmq...
Tempted by this extremely obscure, undated (and probably awful) record just for the cover:
Kind of surprised it could cut through the juniper!
Ha ha, that tam o' shanter story is completely, utterly false.

The movie sounds rotten: the prison Christianity turnaround of Watergate co-conspirator Chuck Colson. It's by Avco Embassy, so it's cheap, and stars Dean Jones, so cheap AND painful. But, hey, they got Les Baxter to do some disco tracks!
