Welp, I finally did it! I made it to Senior Member! Yay!!!!! :D And Aaron and Alex will soon be joining me. ;) Erm... ok, well, I thought I might have something brilliant and inspiring to say on this auspicious occasion, but... nothing. Oh, well! In that case...

I know I'm not the only one here who loves that tubby little cubby and all his buddies - though I may be one of the biggest! I've got so much Pooh stuff... it's all you see when you step into my room! Well, that, and my Art Garfunkel autographs. But I've got Pooh everywhere. What's everybody's...

Talking about musicals in the Ages thread made me wonder how many folks on this board have actually been in a musical. Or any other play, for that matter. I tried out for the school musical three times and didn't get in. :( "Sound of Music" and "Peter Pan" really made me mad, too, because I...

They just had a big article in our paper today about how Bigfoot might be living in the woods of Pennsylvania. :D They've even got a website devoted to Bigfoot sightings in PA: www.pabigfootsociety.com. Yay! So maybe I'll happen across him when I'm camping or something! :p Erin

I was reading Steven King's column in this week's "Enterainment Weekly," and he was talking about the movies that have really stuck with him through the years. I found it rather interesting and heartwarming that the first movie he mentioned was "Bambi": "50 years later I can still remember...

I love old commercials, so I got a big kick out of stumbling on this page: http://global.mms.com/us/moments/vote/index.jsp You can look at all these old M&M commercial synopses, and for some of them you can actually watch the commercial. Then you get to vote for your favorite one, and the one...

This is kind of a random thread, but I just noticed JediX and I have the same birthday and it got me thinking about sharing birthdays with other people. It seems like most people can say that at least someone rather famous was born the same day as them, and sometimes you're lucky enough that...

All you "Price is Right" fans, Bob lost his announcer to cancer today. He was only 66. I always liked Rod, I thought he was a very jovial fellow who added a lot to the show. His presence will definitely be missed. :cry: Erin

I'm so excited about this! In January, Garrison Keillor is coming to our own Warner Theater, which will by that point be newly refurbished (still under construction now) for a live performance of Prairie Home Companion - one that's going to be on the radio! I'm definitely gonna go to that one...

I just read today that Disney is adapting Mary Poppins, one of my all-time favorite movies, for the stage. It will include the Sherman Brothers' songs from the original and a number of newly written songs as well. Sounds pretty cool, not that I'll be in the market for a Broadway show anytime...

I am not Roman Catholic, but Pope John Paul II is among the people in this world whom I esteem most highly. I think his wisdom and compassion have done amazing things during his time as Pope, and I think there's plenty of reason to celebrate tomorrow. I missed most of Good Morning America's...

ON SNL tonight, Justin Timberlake was the special guest, and about halfway through the show he said when he was little he always made sure he watched SNL and The Muppet Show, so he always dreamed of hosting SNL and singing with Kermit. At that point a counterfeit Kermit popped up and they...

Okay, so it's the first day of October (or was, a couple hours ago). Halloween's a month away. The first day of fall was a week and a half ago. But here in Erie, it looks like we may have decided to give autumn a miss this year. This evening, I walked out of work and it was SNOWING!!! :o And it...

This is completely random and silly, but on the 11:00 news tonight I saw a snippet about a huge statue of a pig with wings made out of Ivory soap ("It floats!" :p ). It was so cute!!! Now, if they could just get that sucker off the ground, a lot of amazing stuff would start happening... :D Erin

Today is just full of surprising news. At least this piece is pretty happy. I'm a big fan of Dave Letterman, and I just heard on the news that he is going to be a father! His long-time girlfriend (never knew he had one :p) is several months pregnant. Imagine Letterman, a father! :halo: Should be...

I just heard that both John Ritter and Johhny Cash have died!!!!!!1 !!:eek: :cry: I am saddened but not particularly surprised about Cash. But Ritter - where did that come from??!! They said he had a "dissection in his aorta" that no one knew about. How awful. I just saw him on Conan a month or...

The "In Step With" portion of PARADE Magainze today featured Kevin Clash. There's a nice picture of him with Elmo at the piano. It lists his work in television and film and talks about how he came to be involved with Jim Henson. He said he took over Elmo because it had been passed on to Richard...

I was just curious how many folks around here play a musical instrument. I play the piano as well as the harmonica (though I'm due for a new one), the tin whistle (I have two in the key of D and one in the key of C; my brother keeps hiding them :p ), and I just yesterday received via UPS a...

On Tuesday, Simon and Garfunkel are slated to make an official announcement regarding a long-awaited reunion tour launching this fall. Art announced on the NBC morning show in June that a reunion tour was in the works, but the details have been sketchy up until now. Recently the Everly Brothers...

While my mom and I were at the mall yesterday, just up the street a guy walked into the PNC bank and robbed it, saying that he had a bomb strapped to his chest. Police apprehended him outside moments later, but he told them he had a bomb strapped to him so they backed away and called the bomb...
