*King, she could qualify for being who Ruth is. What she's done to KCRW is shameful. I'm not sure I've heard as many horror stories about anyone as I have about her. Yet, she goes on and on and on... As Always, Anne
*King, I guess what I really wondered is if Mrs. Eddy actually practiced what she preached, or did she seek medical treatment at any time? Mr. Nixon was a member of the Friends (Quakers official name) denomination. I guess Friends Oats didn't sound so good. Could you have a sitcom called Quakers? The possibilities are mind-boggling! As Always, Anne
*Yegg, thank you very much for the kind words. I think the issues within line definitly applies. I do, however, hope you're wrong on your speculation. In any event, it was nice to read your supportive words! And, I'm grateful that you didn't mind your own business! As Always, Anne
Hello Again, You know that day destroys the night.....Night divides the day.....If I hear one more "clever" anchorperson, weather nerd or DJ call Wednesday "Hump Day", I'm going to scream!.....What has gotten into the Cleveland Indians?.....Great article in the latest Rolling Stone about Clear Channel and their stranglehold on radio and concert promotions....
*thatoneguy, I'm sure you know that Hot Rod used to be the color commentator on Laker broadcasts in the 60s. Did you know that Chick Hearn had him fired for his continuously calling him "Chickie Baby?" It drove him up the wall! And, speaking of drunk sportcasters, a media aquaintence of mine told me that Harry Caray's beer sloshing was legendary in every National League press box! By the late innings, he was really slurring his speech! I
*Gideon, there is sooo much I want to say here, but I'll aim for brevity. Those last two verses make the song even more powerful. How many people even know the Star Spangled Banner beyond the first verse? Now that you've mentioned your historical connection, I want to read that blog. I'll make a point of looking for it. As I've mentioned previously, I recently saw Alice's Restaurant for the first time, and have been running it in my VCR s
*King, I'm always seeing those booths in old movies. I guess expense, and drug dealers, dammit, have made enclosed booths a thing of the past. Cell phones may also be having an effect. I have an IBM Selectric! It's just sitting in an area of my apartment I use for storing things, but it's there if I ever need it. I always loved seeing the ball go back & forth hitting the paper! *Info, by the time I was old enough to drive, friend
*Gideon, excellent points in both of your replies! Eight Men Out does more to explain that awful era of baseball more than any history book or Spink publication could ever hope to do. Judge Landis & Charles Comiskey were the worst things to ever happen to baseball. And they're both in the Hall of Fame! Sickening. But, the game seemed full of scoundrels in those days. Another scoundrel, Joe McCarthy, was the Judge Landis of politics. Some
Hello Again, This is a list of things that are either gone, not available in my area, or just somehow being missed by me. Do you remember..... Phillips 66 stations.....Civil Defense triangles.....Colorful passenger trains of Santa Fe, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, etc......Woolworth's.....Lindy Ballpoint pens.....Wilkinson Sword Blades.....Burger
DEAR READER, There is little I can add regarding the above reply. I believe that it speaks for itself. I think I would hate to see this man in a night club. First word, last word, doesn't matter. Feathers were ruffled over a blog that was supposed to be in fun. I find something terribly wrong with that. *Yegg, thank you. As Always, Anne
*King, at the rate that the Lakers are already falling apart before next season even begins, maybe instead of being on ABC & ESPN, they'll be on Entertainment Tonight! Never mind what Marcia Clark is wearing, how many times has she changed hairstyles? As Always, Anne
*Kelly & *chiprj, I am sorry to report that Gordon Soley has passed on. He was great & outstanding. Wrestling never had a better straight man. When he passed away, Raw had a brief memorium for him at the beginning of the program, and Jim Ross, doing the voice-over, mourned the passing of a friend. I'm not sure of the exact year. He did have a small part in the film "Man in the Moon", the Andy Kaufman biopic that starred Jim Carrey. JR & Jerry Law
*Gene, there's nothing sinister about this on my part. It's a choice, not a pre-requisite. You chose to use your real name and that's fine. Like most here, I'm choosing to use a nom-de-plume. Enough people here in Hollywood know who I am, and frankly, I wouldn't mind if the whole world knew, provided I did something worthy like a screenplay or novel, which are two goals of mine. Maybe I should also confess to a little paranoia. I had a s
*Kelly, this will show exactly how much electricity I use watching Entertainment Tonight. However, for what it's worth, past encounters I had with former ET co-host Leeza Gibbons were pleasant. She seemed very nice. Dusty may be selling used cars, but you may also be interested to know that the American Dream is working for Stan & Jeff Jarrett at NWA-TNA. If you have access to Fox Sports Net, it airs on Friday afternoons, and often times
*thatoneguy, Thank you! I knew I wasn't seeing things! Someone at JU did want Michael Moore prosecuted! Roseanne is an embarrassment to women, not just Utah! The Osmosis' teeth always drove me up the wall! Thank you for the very nice words. --Anne *Gene, I was able to get a copyright by adding a couple of words to the name. To reveal all the info involved would also mean mentioning my real name. When everyone else here does it, I'll
This fellow sure does qualify for the gold. I would award the silver to Kim Il Jong of North Korea and the Bronze to Fidel Castro. What a sight the victory stand would be. They'd probably, though, get into an argument about whose national anthem should be played! Anne
mrboo, Your article is a good read! As a longtime wrestling fan (I admit it, and I'm not ashamed), I think it's a rip-off to have a highly-hyped match end in a DQ on a pay-per-view. Fans who paid a lot of money deserve better than that. I'll be looking foward to future blogs of yours. Anne
Hello Again, In all seriousness, I do enjoy this.....It's a welcome release for someone who works professionally as a writer.....Even if someone disagrees with something I wrote, I take it as a sign they care, and I don't take it personally.....Internet reports are calling last night's WWE SummerSlam SummerSnore.....I'll see a friend's tape of it later.....Vi
*thatoneguy, Andres can join Tony Taveres in Montreal! Long live the Rally Monkey! As Always, Anne
*King, I can imagine I could get parts for those cars if I saved up for about 22 years, and mortgaged a couple houses, and sent all the money from that to England. Since I don't even own 1 house, I'll pass on those otherwise marvelous cars, not that I could afford one anyway! I always thought the TR3 was cool-looking, though. I figured it out: Robespierre & Marie Antoinette are eating cake made by Betty Crocker! Thank you, King
*King, I will go there with you anytime! Your Loyal Subject, Anne
*Kingbee, thank you, as always! I'm guessing Robespierre is eating cake, or eating something, with Marie Antonnette! Don't ever lose your sense of humor, King. I think it's great! As Always, Anne
Hello Again, I've always wondered, EXACTLY how many Cheerios O's does General Mills manufacture in a year?.....Or how many are in a box?.....If I was to buy an old British sports car from the 60's.....Like a Triumph TR3 or an Austin Healy Bugeye Sprite.....Would I be able to get parts for it?.....What's the difference between an Indian elephant and an African
*thatoneguy, Good additions, mostly, but 1) I thought about listing Henry Ford, but late in his life, he tried to make up for some of his earlier antics and escapades, and succeeding generations of his family have tried to do a lot of good. 2) Forgive me, but the Yankees are my second-favorite team behind the Angels! I think George is a great owner. There are owners far richer than him in baseball, but they apparently don't care like Mr. Stei
*thatoneguyinslc, I couldn't agree with you more. See you at the Galleria at Tyler Mall! As Always, Anne
