    I certainly don’t want to hear about it.

    62 hours? The driver will be ready to commit suicide long before that, listening to Roland ramble on.

    Too bad there hasn’t been more desertions from the Taliban! BTW, isn’t this about the time of the Red Rascal’s debut?

    62 hour drive? You’re going to have to refuel somewhere.

    I wonder if Ms. Amanpour ever admitted she had dated Roland? Seriously doubt it though.

    Probably a short date given Roland’s scintillating personality.

    There are some monstrous, flat out lies in the editorial comments going totally uncommented upon. What a shame.

    62 hours assuming no roadblocks or security checks.

    Roland will play the part of Bob Hope

    It’s such a relief to know that so many Iranians (apparently of all political persuasions) are fluent in English.

    If I was in the car I would be afraid that Roland would bore the driver into falling asleep and having a wreck. Or else just run into something to shut Roland up.

    From Smile, one of my favourite movies ever:

    Andy DiCarlo: Doesn’t anything ever get you down?

    Big Bob Freelander: Yeah, I get my apple cart upset sometimes. I just learned a long time ago to accept a little less from life, that’s all.

    Big Bob Freelander: [continues] Want to know who taught me this great lesson in life? Elizabeth Taylor.

    Andy DiCarlo: [looks incredulous] What?

    Big Bob Freelander: I never bothered to tell you the story because I don’t believe in negative stories, but, uh, one time I actually had a date with old Liz herself.

    Andy DiCarlo: You’re kidding.

    Big Bob Freelander: Huh-uh. Do you remember when I went off to junior college in Los Angeles? Well, I had a class with a guy that was Liz Taylor’s cousin. He fixed me up with her.

    Andy DiCarlo: What was she like?

    Big Bob Freelander: I never met her.

    Andy DiCarlo: You just said…

    Big Bob Freelander: No, I just said that I had a “date” with her. I never said that she kept it. You should’ve seen all the preparations I made. I went out and got the best flowers that I could find, and a great table at the world-famous Coconut Grove restaurant. And then she never showed up. That was the weekend that she ran off and married the hotel guy.

    Andy DiCarlo: I’m sorry.

    Big Bob Freelander: Oh, you don’t have to be sorry. Just that now I’m married to Roberta, and I’m happy about it. Even though she is… a little less than Elizabeth Taylor.

    Big Bob Freelander: [pauses to reflect] God, Elizabeth Taylor was beautiful.

    62 hours of hearing about Roland’s date? I think I’d rather be hanged in the stadium.
