QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 26, 2007 -> 12:16 PM) My all-time favorite. Yikes. Pretty dang prophetic.

By "Scrooge", I assume you mean the 1951 Christmas carol adaptation with Alastair Sim in the lead role, and not Bill Murry's "Scrooged" (which is itself quite fun). The Alastair Sim Christmas Carol is THE Christmas Carol, and I'll have words with any man who sez otherwise. For anybody who hasn't seen it, the Matt Goening and Drew Barrymore animated adaptation of "Olive the Other Reindeer" from a few years back should be a classic by now but I know lots of people have yet to discover it.

Hardrock, Coco, and Joe on Ray Rayner and Garfield Goose.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 26, 2007 -> 11:56 AM) Did you have to hand over hand the canoe down the springs? No punting, no poling, mostly easy paddling with just some tall hydrilla to fight through here and there. The headwaters of the spring are roped off as a good old-fashioned swimmin' hole, and the canoes put in a few hundred meters downstream.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 26, 2007 -> 11:46 AM) Clearwater Lake? Salt Springs, north-central part of the National Forest. Scenic 4-mile spring run to Lake George. Lots of Florida Trail Association trails. Also a lot of deer hunters to try to steer clear of, but we make sure not to put our kids in their antler hats when we go out hiking. . . I refuse to wait until next Thanksgiving to camp again. I'm trying to figure out where to go for a trip in January or February.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Nov 26, 2007 -> 10:07 AM) Or maybe not so curious after all.... Turns out that if you leave the Senate by the end of the year, you are not beholden to the new ethics rules which prevent sitting Congressmen from becoming lobbyists for two years after you leave office. ^^^ And BINGO was its name-O.

You just can't beat Onion animal stories. Here's one of my old favorites.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 26, 2007 -> 10:42 AM) People who live "up north" who say they couldn't get into the Christmas spirit down here where it is too warm. Do you remember stories of the three wise men trudging through snow to visit the baby Jesus? GMAB Heck, most Christians believe in a fair-skinned, blue-eyed Jesus. It's not much of a stretch from that to a blizzard in Bethlehem.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Nov 23, 2007 -> 01:14 PM) Hey, I'm just reporting my Black Friday experience, I can't help what your conscience does to you... I bought two bundles of firewood and a half-day canoe rental. Family camping has become the Thanksgiving tradition, and this year we were up in Ocala National Forest. The slow-roasted campfire turkey came out wonderful and threats of heavy downpours never materialized. Being back at work sucks arse.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 20, 2007 -> 04:50 PM) When Love Comes To Town-U2 When the Levee Breaks – Led Zeppelin

I scored and performed original music for a no-budget production of "Everyman" when i was at U of I. My illustrious theater career lasted exactly one afternoon.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 20, 2007 -> 12:12 PM) Small Town - Mellencamp. Barry Town – Steely Dan [Yeah, I think tit's really one word too, but what the heck]

Quite a shame that Scotty only found the courage to not go along with the lies after he spent all that time parroting them to the press and the nation.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 19, 2007 -> 03:21 PM) Any and all things The Wiggles related. QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Nov 19, 2007 -> 03:25 PM) I have taken every step to keep the wiggles and barney out of my house. I have introduced my son to Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, Chilli Willi, Droopy and the rest of the old time cartoons. At least you guys are not anti Teletubbies.

QUOTE(zimne piwo @ Nov 19, 2007 -> 05:57 AM) Everybody knows that the good guys lost Beaten by the Queen of Hearts every time. Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, she'll break you every time. You know you know the Deuce is still wild. Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night. And I've got such a long way to go, to make it to the border of Mexico Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes Come spend the night inside my sugar walls And the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls. I've built walls, a fortress deep and mighty. Yet I swear I see my reflection some place so high above this wall. Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon Gonna get high as a kite by then She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line There's a guy with a ticket to Mexico. No, he couldn't look much stranger. I don't want a pickle. I just want to ride my motor-sicle. I like smoke and lightning...Heavy metal thunder. Fat-Bottom Girls you make the rockin' world go 'round. Get on 'yer bikes and ride! Ride, take a free ride, take my place. Have my seat, its for free. Oh, anything I want he gives it to me. Anything I want he gives it, but not for free – It's hateful! You got to get it up, get it up. You got to get it up, get it up, yeah you got to give it to me. Rock me baby, rock me baby all night long. Rock me gently, rock me slowly, take it easy, don't you know that I have never been loved like this before. So do that to me one more time. Once is never enough. One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do. I'm a soldier. A lonely soldier, away from home. A soldier so ill looks at the sky pilot, remembers the words "Thou shalt not kill". Said he's dangerous, armed and extremely dangerous. You're a notch and I'm a legend. Twenty dollars will make you die. I love the dead before they're cold. Dead babies can't take care of themselves. Helpless, helpless, helpless. Baby can you hear me now? Don't say words you're gonna regret. Its only words, and words are all I have, to take your heart away. See the rapper's problem usually stems from being tone deaf. Pack the house and try to sing, there won't be no one left. You'll find him anywhere. On a bus, in a bar, in a grocery store. It's just that I am not in the market for a boy who wants to love only me. My Mama told me you better shop around.

Hmm, now that Buzzy has resigned, what are the chances that Cookie decides it's alright to un-recuse himself from all things Blackwater? And what normal adult male uses the nickname Cookie anyway?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 16, 2007 -> 04:46 PM) It's almost as though we have a thread running titled "The Wall" Strangely, it's the Dark Side of the Moon that's going through my head. . .

Thanksgiving dinner is going to be a w k w a r d at the Krongard dinner table. . .

Inexplicably in the mood for some Pink Floyd now.

Writers' strike is going to kill the momentum on this one before it even takes off.
