TotusTuusMaria Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 ive come to conclude that dickens just made it up... perhaps he knew someone who was bad with the name dickens and just used it as a word to substitute for the devil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominicansoul Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 i think obama created the swine flu when he was in mexico to create a hysteria the likes we haven't seen in a while.... ...so that we would totally disregard the lameness of his first 100 days....

kafka Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 [quote name='dominicansoul' post='1853383' date='Apr 30 2009, 03:15 PM']this is my all time fave of Dicken's work... was pleasantly surprised to find a new version on PBS... yup, i watched every episode, and now, it's over... [/quote] you watched it! Excellent! Werent the actors and actresses wonderful. I love Mr. Pancks and all his snort sounds. His announcement of the Dorrit's birthright at the Marshallsea was a riot. Hog Heaven!!! BBC goes all out with Dickens adaptations. Now I am faced with a difficult choice this eventide. I must choose between Little Dorrit or the new episode of LOST. I'm torn. I'll probably fall asleep before I decide which one to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddington Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 ^ Hehe, thanks. I seriously wanna know. Look at what non-prostitutes wear these days and GEESH!
