Didn't that already happen in Commander in Chief?

Ah but if you did go 3 months ago and you still have some $$$ left - now is the time to sell them back to the bank!!

Is there any bank left with enough money to buy back your $200?

I think it was quite prophetic when they made that Oscar winning movie "Brokebank mountain".

Here are a several films that an American might recommend, at least they seemed to leave an impact on some Americans.

reading a book last night the main characture had breakfast.

He had pancake & Syrup Which is normal but he also had bacon??

Did he have syrup on his bacon? Cos it said he had so much syrup he had a job not to spill it? Or did he have another plate with bacon on??

Bacon and syrup is a thing. I don't get it either.

It's lovely. Had it for breakfast every day on honeymoon in Hawaii. Yum.

Smoked or unsmoked bacon?

Steaky or back bacon?

Would you have syrup on sausages as well?
