...wearing... With all the poo-poo in theaters this season, I decided to go down the AFI's list of all-time best comedies to cheer me up. I randomly picked Bringing Up Baby, starring Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and a leopard. Without a doubt, one of the funniest, wittiest movies I've ever seen. It's an incredible date movie. You'll win over anybody you show it to... During Thanksgiving dinner, my grandmother tapped me on the shoulder. "I worry about you," she sighed. "Why? My life is just peachy," I answered. "Oh.
