*thatoneguy, wise words indeed! *Karma, I did get a deal at the beginning. And, everytime I've complained to them, either online or by phone, they've given me a free month! *wuxiaomao, you have to save money where you can. *king, an awful lot of celebs would love to hit tabloid writers! They're strongly encouraged by their people not to. How about a prequel to The Land Before Time? When it comes to billing, AOL
Hello Again, I had a nice all-movie blog going.....About 90% through it, AOL booted me.....I'll try it again later this week.....How 'bout dem Angels?.....Only 70 days 'til Election Day.....Quick review of Excorcist: The Beginning: Don't bother.....May be worst movie of 2004.....Prediction: If Bush somehow gets a second term, impeachment hearings will begin b
kingbee, We have a man who is a legitimate war hero, with numerous decorations, all out in the open, and a President whose miltiary records are either non-existent, or muddled at best, and whose campaign staff is questioning the war hero's patriotism. If the GOP truly practiced what they preach, they should be in love with Kerry! Terrific post!
*Trudy, Thank You! --Anne
*King, I would imagine that this show must have been a ripe target for Mad Magazine in the 60's. Raymond Burr appeared on Howard Stern and talked about how much the show was made fun of, but they loved it. The show was filmed on La Brea where A&M Records used to be, the original Charlie Chaplin Studios. I would love to see Perry Mason outtakes. As Always, Anne
Hello Again, On this particular Saturday night, I stayed home.....I went nowhere, saw no one.....It was divine.....Lake Wobegon is fine.....Soup, sandwich & Fritos was my dinner.....Also fine.....Yankee Stadium is an awesome place.....I was there in May.....I've been to NYC only twice, but both times it's been a great visit.....I'm looking foward to going aga
How about titmouse? Or pelf?
*king, I stand adjusted if not corrected! The Pomona palace was their winter home! I understand that Mr. Kellogg, a devout Seventh Day Adventist, spent his last years there. The anchor in question is none of those mentioned in your reply, but here's a clue: Her initials are the same as a type of commercial radio band, and what you call the time after midnight & before noon. Happy brainstorming! As Always, Anne
Hello Again, They are now selling Prozac at Dodger Stadium.....But only when Eric Gagne enters a game.....Where has West Coast Julie Brown (the white one) been lately?.....Who'll ever forget her big hit, Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun?.....My big Saturday plans: listening to Prarie Home Companion.....Watching a video.....Reading a book.....Extra sleeping.....No
*King, I forgot OMG! OMG! ! *Raven, you read some stories, especially in the sports page, and you get journalistic alphabet soup! I could have filled much more space if I had included acros of 2,4 or 5 letters! *Kelly, I will always humbly cede to the greatest blogger of all time! ! XOX to all,
Hello Again, Didja ever notice that we live much of our lives making references to or dealing with people, places and things known for their three letters? I'll bet we know all these..... USA.....FBI.....CIA.....FCC.....FAA.....AMA.....USC.....RCA.....WWW.....SEC.....DMV.....LAX.....NYC.....NBA.....NFL.....NHL.....DFW.....FLA..... MIT.....BBC....
*King, Don't worry about a lack of knowledge. Everyone knows a lot about some things and no one knows everything about everything (huh?). But by all means, FIND THAT NOTEBOOK! No telling what kind of treasure you may have! I guess the AOL gods were kind to me. Thank you, King. As Always, Anne
*Kelly, The M's are a story unto themselves! Luv Ya, Anne * King, you don't want to know them! BTW, I was named after a great-great aunt, Anne Alog. Luv Ya, Also! --Anne
*Chip, I think that could concievably go over with the fans, and make the players actually care about being an All Star instead of looking for a way out during those 3 days like they do now. Thank you, As Always, Anne
*Gideon, there is nothing I can write that could add to what you just wrote. Jarrod is a class act on and off the field. We are indeed lucky to have him. Great info feed, Gideon. As Always, Anne
*Chip, perhaps I should make two amendments: First, have the 20-second clock going only when the bases are empty. The cat-and-mouse games between pitcher and base runner should not be intruded upon by a clock. Second, instead of having just one All Star Game, have 3 of them. Here's how it would work. Since I've already divided MLB into 4 leagues, have 4 seperate All Star teams, and initiate a 3 game single elimination tournament. It coul
*Gideon, Hijack the thread anytime you feel like it! I think the real curse of the Red Sox was the too-long Yawkey ownership, just as the Autry ownership, as pleasant as it was, kept the Angels from winning a title for sooo long. I feel that now that the Bosox have more modern ownership, titles just might be in their future. Unless they were playing the Angels or Yankees, my two fave teams, I don't think I could root against the Cubs in
*Gideon, Jerry Reinsdorf is pure scum. One of the reasons baseball seems so tainted at times is his contamination of it. He & Charles Comiskey are cut of the same rotten cloth. I usually root for the American League in the World Series, but if the Chisox were to somehow make it that far with that awful owner, I would root for the NL team. I forget the exact year, but I'll never forget the time his team was leading the AL West by a good margin--and
*Gideon, that's a good idea that Selig and his lackeys should consider. Baseball, I'm afraid, at least at the Major League level, is slowly pricing the working class out. At Dodger Stadium, parking alone costs $10! Outrageous. I like to think Walter O'Malley, with all of his greed & faults, wouldn't have done that. Fans need to organize, otherwise owners of sports teams everywhere will walk all over them on their way to their private boxe
*Zoo, truer words were never spoken! I'm happy to say that so far today, nothing bad has happened, but AOL does some strange things. BTW, I have relatives in Europe with the last name of Ology. One cousin has such a bad rep with the ladies, he's called Zoo. So, he's known as Zoo Ology! But I'm sure there's no connection between you & him. If you're studying animals, keep up the good work! As Always, Anne
Hello Again, I read with great consternation that Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig was just granted a 3-year extension through 2009. This comes less than 3 months after he said that he wouldn't serve past 2006. Previously, he said that he wouldn't serve past 1998. What a politician he would make! In spite of his questionable leadership, baseball i
*King, maybe, but in real life, the mouse was called out! As Always, Anne
Hello Again, Earlier, I spent over 2 hours working on a blog.....The whole thing was about baseball.....It was carefully & lovingly written, as I love the game.....I also have slow dial-up service.....You see it coming, don't you?.....A friend calls me, and I lose my AOL connection.....Of course I lose the blog.....I was beyond pissed.....I was sooo pissed th
thatoneguy, great list! A few disagreements, but not worth a quibble. Keep up the good writing!
