It's "chased" silver. Not "chaste." Chased silver is plate, not sterling.

I think you meant Scissorhands sought revenge against the jock from The Breakfast Club, not geek!

No, it was the geek from BC. Anthony Michael Hall made a much needed appearance in the role of Jim for ES. Cheers

Seriously dude, Anthony Michael Hall, the guy who Edward was seeking revenge against, played the GEEK in The Breakfast Club, not the jock.

This article was really funny. :)
