The Big Orange Splot
Daniel Manus Pinkwater
ISBN: 0590445103
Mr. Plumbean lives on a 'neat street' where all the houses look the same. One
day, an orange splot of paint is dropped on his roof, and instead of removing it,
Plumbean begins to transform his house into a mecca of color, palm trees, and a
hammock. The neighbors are aghast! As each goes to convince him to make it a
neat street again, Plumbean explains, 'My house is me and I am it. My house is
where I like to be and it looks like all my dreams.' The neighbors end up chatting
into the night about their own interests and dreams, and subsequently create
their fantasy houses, including a castle and a ship.

Three Kings DVD
U.S. soldiers who, disillusioned by
Operation Desert Storm, decide to steal
$23 million in gold hijacked from Kuwait
by Saddam Hussein's army. Getting the
bullion out of an Iraqi stronghold is easy;
keeping it is a potentially lethal
proposition. By the end of their
mercenary mission, the Americans can no
longer ignore wartime atrocities (and
neither can we--the film is boldly
unflinching), and conscience demands
their aid to Iraqi rebels abandoned by
President George Bush's fickle wartime
policy.
