Yup, I called it, early walk. And another geo-nitwit to boot. Really good TV casting, AP's.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Once again, damned exciting television. Sorry I missed it...

There's an exchange between Billy and Charlie later about the relationship - to pick up and move like that without even the likelihood of an engagement is pretty risky.

Billy asked if Terry was Charlie's future father-in-law, but Charlie didn't seem to be quite ready to make that commitment yet. Maybe he was just being coy.

Yes, it would, but when Billy asked him if this was a proposal Charlie backpedaled really quickly.

My thought was Machu Picchu "lies" in the Andes but tells the truth everywhere else.

:roll:

Yeah, that was elwing's reaction, too.

Charlie's face reminded me of a child actor who was in a Stephen King movie, or something like that. But Charlie doesn't have an IMDB entry, under that name, at least.


Billy should have given the father-in-law jokes a rest. :roll:
