Is there a point when a show gets so convoluted that viewers just give up?

He discusses the process on the phone, and never identified where he was calling from or who he was. After he hangs up, he informs Rebecca that they are sending the van over to get her. <br /><br />In the 90's, telephone technology was not what it's like today so there wasn't anyway to really know who called and where the caller was located.<br /><br />How did Dr.Kulger know where to send the van?bouchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08576694105220393826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-5245810894330865482013-06-01T08:34:43.483-07:002013-06-01T08:34:43.483-07:00If porn Norm is on top, it could turn into a snuff...If porn Norm is on top, it could turn into a snuff film.Waynenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-48872205112910660602013-06-01T02:26:19.634-07:002013-06-01T02:26:19.634-07:00Five of the last seven US presidents left handed. ...Five of the last seven US presidents <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handedness_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States" rel="nofollow">left handed</a>.

I think it was a Sunday post, and I specifically posted there because it was current and you stated you had every comment emailed to you and you saw each and every comment when someone asked if they commented on something from years or months ago, would you notice? I thought for sure my question about prop drinks and bottles on Cheers would be on this list since it wasn't answered and I saw more recent questions such as the left-handed one and the Cheers slot machine on here. <br />So now I don't know where that leaves me.

I chalk it up to the fact that right-brained people tend to be more artistic, and artistic fields such as theatre, acting, writing, etc, probably attract more left-handed people.
