Richard, I had to do a Google to understand the significance, and I think that might be one of those things, like when a man’s dog dies, where there is no Manly Man stigma.

Alex, I don’t remember meeting Craig, but given the state I was usually in by the end of your parties back in the day, that doesn’t necessarily mean anything. (I would ask if you remember introducing us, but since you were usually well ahead of me on the insanity curve at your parties…)

Did you ever meet my friend Craig? He worked at Warner Brothers for a while, which included him working on Iron Giant.

Over a decade ago I gave up on the whole manly preparation for emotional reactions (probably right after being surprised by a statement including the phrase “on behalf of the President of the United States and a grateful nation”). And yeah, I remember my optical allergies were acting up a bit when I saw The Iron Giant.

Ever has it been thus.

Or at least since 1988.

…”there is nothing quite as embarrassing as watching a movie with your three year old daughter and having her turn to you and ask why you are crying like a little baby”…

Yes there is - just replace “three year old daughter” with girlfriend. Not that I would know of course. I am a very manly man myself. In fact, I am scratching myself, belching and drinking beer while fixing something greasy and dirty right now.

I know how to exploit your weaknesses. Don’t make me tell you a story.
