Big undertaking. I read something much shorter and simpler, I guess... "Inside Out." It followed them up to the "Calling All Stations" CD.

Oh crap, the thread returns. Oh well, welcome to the board!

Y&R '80s, with Danny and Lauren as a singing duo, a teenaged Tracy Abbot with a crush on rockstar Danny. That's what I remember most; that must've been when I was watching most. Then came Cricket and Lauren's departure for B&B. Can't forget other longtime characters, like Victor and Nicki and Jack and Paul. I haven't seen it in years.

"Yes, you must give us all a good spanking. And after the spanking... the oral sex." Who'd ever want to leave those girls??

QUOTE Fans gear up for Monty Python day Hundreds of fans from across the world are gathering at Doune Castle this weekend for the third Monty Python Day. The 14th Century keep was made famous as Castle Anthrax in the 1975 classic film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Tickets have been restricted to 500 for the event near Stirling, which sees fans taking to the castle's battlements to enact scenes from the famous film. Aficionados will also have the chance to take part in the coconut conga or the Python Idle talent contest. The first Monty Python Day was held at Doune Castle, six miles north-west of Stirling, in 2005 to mark the 30th anniversary of film. Spamalot musical The film provided the inspiration for the hit musical Spamalot Although the event has only been running for three years, the castle's popularity with Python fans is credited with attracting up to a third of its 25,000 annual visitors. Pilgrims attending this year's event are being promised a few surprises from organisers. Nick Finnigan, Historic Scotland events and filming manager said: "The event has been a sell-out for each of the past three years and this year has been no exception, with all 500 tickets snapped up weeks in advance. "As well as all the old favourites, we have introduced some special new activities to the line-up including a Monty Python Hall of Fame featuring photos from past Python events. "There will also be a few surprises on the day itself." One day after my Monty Python contest. Talk about serendipity! My wife's parents live in a small village not far from Stirling, Scotland... and they went to this event once. Myself, I've been to Stirling Castle but not the castle made famous in the MP sketch.

QUOTE (geddy4ever1987 @ Sep 5 2007, 08:14 AM) good job So it's my turn again. I'll make it easier this time - "Wouldn't this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive? If needy were a turn-on?"

QUOTE (geddy4ever1987 @ Sep 4 2007, 02:51 PM) Wizards. My turn... "Now is a time of great decision... Are we to stay or up and quit? There's no avoiding this conclusion: Our town is turning into s***. Amen." "Wizards" was correct. (You're supposed to wait for confirmation before posting the next quote.) As for yours, well... I should've figured it was "Blazing Saddles" when you started talking about it! (Note to everyone else: she and I work at neighboring desks.)

QUOTE (Slaine mac Roth @ Sep 4 2007, 11:19 AM) 'Got a Revolution', a biography of Jefferson Airplane I took that out of the library and began it, but it didn't hold me. I'm not some rabid JA fan, so I lost interest. I know about two of their songs, pre-Starship.

QUOTE (rushgoober @ Sep 4 2007, 10:13 AM) this is one of those movies that I remember seeing bits and pieces of on tv and/or cable growing up, but I honestly can't remember ever seeing the entire movie. I might have to see this sometime... btw, LOVED Chris Makepeace in My Bodyguard - that was a great long lost classic from my childhood. "My Bodyguard" is also one of my favorites from my younger days. Chris Makepeace and Adam Baldwin were terrific, and were expected to go far. Makepeace made one or two more small films ("Mazes and Monsters" with Tom Hanks was one) and hosted some Nicklelodeon show (I think) before disappearing, and Baldwin practically fell off the map until the cult TV show "Firefly."

It's been recommended to me a few times over the years. It seems to have something of a cult following, and I think it would appeal to the average Rush fan. So... any fans of this one??

One of the greatest movies ever. It's got everything. The Minnesota accents make for some great comedy.

QUOTE (Milton Bridge @ Aug 30 2007, 08:14 AM) I have just started reading Bill Clinton's autobiography and it is a fascinating read no matter what your politcis are. I've thought of giving it a shot, but it's so damned BIG. Don't drop it on your foot.

I saw it in the theaters on opening night... and I played hooky from work to see it! Great movie. I'd like to own the new "Bueller Bueller" Edition of the DVD.

Hysterical movie. I'll never tire of watching it. Favorite lines - Tripper (on PA): Attention. Here's an update on tonight's dinner. It was veal. I repeat, veal. The winner of tonight's Mystery Meat Contest is Jeffrey Corbin, who guessed "some kind of beef." ---- Wendy: Tripper, I'm looking forward to some action this summer. I hope you can supply it. Tripper: I'll supply it for you, but the guy you gotta watch out for is Spaz! Wendy: Spaz? Tripper: He's a sex machine! Wendy: He couldn't wake me up with a trumpet and a drum! Tripper: Well I went out with him one night and he got off six nurses by himself, and four of them couldn't report to work the next morning! ----- Tripper (on PA): Important announcement: Some hunters have been seen in the woods near Piney Ridge Trail and the Fish and Game Commission has raised the legal kill limit on campers to three. So, if you're hiking today, please wear something bright and keep low. Good luck. ----- Tripper: Kids are starving in India and you're walking around with a sombrero full of peanuts... I hope you sleep well. Next time, we play for bigger stakes... zucchini! ----- When Tripper poses as "Jerry Aldini, program director for Camp Mohawk" while speaking to a reporter... man! That's some funny stuff! Here it is:

If you've ever had someone close to you die, you'll know that life isn't something you just give up because things aren't going your way. What a waste. You obviously have no freaking clue how emotionally painful it is to have clinical depression.

Keanu Reeves is probably the worst professional actor in America. Even Stallone and his ilk have more range.

QUOTE (Mr. Henry Gale @ Aug 27 2007, 11:32 AM) Agreed. Would suck so much to have no privacy. Then again..it would be awesome to have loads of money, and a nice lifestyle. I guess with every positive theres a negative. That's what I've always said about celebrity... there's got to some downside to it! There is with any job.

He just doesn't seem the "type" to try it. Hmm. I like his brother Luke better, but Owen's okay too. I liked "Wedding Crashers."

I think I remember "Please Don't Hit Me, Mom." If it's the one I'm thinking of, Patty Duke was the abusive mother.

I used to watch afterschool specials. I remember one where a girl was committed by her mother but her mother was paranoid and the girl eventually was adopted by another family. WHoa, whoa whoa, Kim Richards is related to Paris Hilton? Kim was a major babe to young boys in the 70s... http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~fergy/KimRichards.jpg Great photo. She really does look beautiful there.

Didn't know she was related to Paris, though. She played "Tia" to Ike Eisenmann's "Tony."

I've lost interest in him since he ruined Oprah's furniture... And now there's a new buzz phrase called "jump the couch". It's kinda like "jump the shark". It means it's the point when a celebrity starts acting a little bizarre or crazy. Paula Abdul recently "jumped the couch" I believe. First Ive heard of that.. Me too. Funny!

We used to watch all those Afterschool Specials. I recall Ike Eisenmann ("Esacpe to Witch Mountain") in one about a kid with telekinetic powers. "You can do it, Duffy Moon!" There was another about a group of troublemakers, The Horrible Honchos, starring the girl from "Witch Mountain." Not sure if they were Afterschool Specials or just teen-oriented TV movies, but there were also film adaptions of "Mom, The Wolfman, and Me" and "Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack," among other great teen books.
