As a rabies-infested creature attacks viciously and without good reason, this movie drives the viewer into a corner and sinks its thought-sapping teeth into the most vital areas of the viewer's intelligence." An excerpt from Rachael's review of the movie "Lost." "If you are attacked in an alley, compliment your attacker profusely on his cleverness and confidence in being able to confront his or her enemies and express his anger! Healthiness comes through experience, dear ones! Quiet your souls." Advise from an Elderly man "A painting is finished when the artist says it's finished." --Rembrandt Van Rijn "Smiles a Hobo smile of having eaten too many inedible things"--one of Rachael's many amazing statements!
