Ellie's tale of strange neighbors conjures up distant memories -- of law school, of all things. The first few days of regular classes, in fact, when we discussed the case of Haslem v. Lockwood, 37 Conn. 500 (1871), in which the parties fought over, you guessed it, a pile of shit.

It was as if a Mastandrea had written the syllabus!

(It's a pretty old case so it's hard to find a link, but if you scroll down on this page you'll see the actual court opinion -- a scintillating read!)

Oh, my latest find on YouTube? Old Crazy Eddie commercials. There are a few on this clip; the last two are the best ones.
