Dear Fellow Dark Shadows Fans,
I just loved Jeff's heartfelt words of love when he handed an obviously overjoyed Vicky, the engagement ring: "It (the ring) is old-fashioned. It reminded me of you." Oh yeah, that's an example of what we call a "left handed compliment." It's like saying to a short person: "You may be built close to the ground, but, always remember, good things come in small packages."
I'm surprised that Jeff didn't tell "old-fashioned" Vicky, that she reminded him of, say, Moms Mabley or Grandma Moses!
Sincerely,
Bob the Bartender, former etiquette advisor to Patrick Buchanan and Ozzy Osbourne.
