Penelope has been so scarred by the superficial way she's been judged that, when she goes into a local pub, she wears a kerchief across the middle of her face, forcing her to drink a glass of beer with a straw. Caveny also has a slew of sow jokes to subject us to. "Bad nose job," notes Reese Witherspoon, who shows up at the bar (and was one of the film's producers). And when Penelope gorges...

As disco music played, those seated near the curtained hallway to the back and left of the stage gasped when an elegant black hand briefly parted the curtain.

He fell in love with me at first sight as well...
...property, where we put up an American flag and set up a campfire right beside the East Gallatin River. R.G. Montgomery, a retired biology teacher who gives lessons on Lewis and Clark and does the occasional bit of re-enacting, shows up in period dress--moccasins, a red kerchief over his head--carrying a box of reproduction supplies. Since the Corps of Discovery is the ultimate Boy Scout story, most of these guys, all of whom are grandparents, are only recently retired from the troop. They have a fire going in four minutes...
