    The Best/Worst Song Covers Thread

    About 25 years ago Nike got this ball rolling using "Revolution" to sell sneakers. Although if "I'm Only Sleeping" or "I'm So Tired" was used to sell mattresses, somebody might end up with a Clio.

    Questions about anything

    20 years ago Amy Fisher was the Flavor of the Month. For a few months, you couldn't turn on the tv without seeing/hearing/reading about her fling with Joey Buttafuoco (is this the best you can do?), and attempted murder of Buttafuoco's wife. After serving a short time in prison, she gets to...

    Final Jeopardy response ruled unacceptable due to minor misspelling

    If he tried crossing part of his answer out, or wrote in some illegible chicken-scratch, his answer might have been accepted. If he was clearly wrong and wrote "Gettysburg Address", or something else, definitely, no case. But there have been misspellings before which have been overlooked. And...

    How NOT to get Betty Lou & Prairie Dawn confused w/each other

    If Betty Lou ever sings or plays piano (or if by some miracle Frank ever comes back and feels possessed to play her again), then distinguishing the two might get tricky.

    When you need to rant...

    Yes, to compensate for not having too many outstanding cartoon series, we did have some memorable live action shows. Ghost Busters (1975) was a keeper. Patchwork Family, a dose of Krofft, Filmation jumping on the Star Wars bandwagon (Space Academy, Jason of Star Command). Even the Shazam/Isis...

    When you need to rant...

    The 70's had its share of subpar animation, to be sure. For every "Fat Albert" there was a half-dozen "Partridge Family 2200 A.D."'s Although Filmation did release the much-overlooked "Young Sentinels"- hopefully that will see daylight again someday. Scooby was best in its original incarnation...

    1000 Post Club, The Post Count & Senior Members Thread

    900 now. Should hit 1,000 sometime this year. Place your bets. Holding a raffle to see who picks closest to the actual date. The winner gets a free oven mitt and a can of elbow grease. Plus a bottle of dehydrated water.

    Best: "One Way Out"- Allman Brothers Worst:" I Think We're A Clone Now"- Tiffany. All the mallrats ate this up in 1988, then spit her out when New Kids on the Block showed up.

    Overrated Music

    I'm a huge Who fan, but most casual fans and radio programmers can't get past "Won't Get Fooled Again", and like Zep's "Stairway", has been ruined by 40 years of radio oversaturation. However, back in the days when we listened to vinyl, and had these curious little things called 45's, the b-side...

    Sesame Street in 1969

    Nitpicking aside, Season One had quite a lot going for it- blemishes and all. Nothing a little tight editing couldn't fix. By far the biggest improvement made for Season Two (and Caroll Spinney would be the first to agree) was giving Big Bird a much-needed makeover and transforming him from a...

    Worried about going into high school...

    Well, you got a lot of good advice, hope it serves you well. Before too long you may go to college, and it'll be the same thing. Then starting a job, maybe get married, life will be full of "first times", which might mean breaking out of your comfort zone, meeting new people, getting used to new...

    Who's on your Hug Bucket list?

    Got as far as to shake Caroll Spinney's hand, maybe get to hug him next time around. One disappointment was actually meeting Sonia Manzano (Maria). Posed for a picture with her, but she was... for lack of a better word... ICY. Maybe she left her Pleasant Pills at home.
