    Time-Life vs. Columbia question

    Alright, first a bit of a story, then my question. Now, as you know, I was just up around the East Coast. While in Massachusetts, I stopped into a Newbury Comics and searched around, and therein I found the 3-ep TMS disc with Diana Ross, Brooke Shields and Rudolf Nureyev. Now, on this disc, the...

    Strange Moments In Your Life

    I was wondering: what are some strange things that have happened to you? The first one I can think of off hand is probably the time I had a waiter at a pizza restaurant (Uno's, I think it was) that looked like Charlie Manson. Not a good sign, is it?

    I'm Boston Bound!

    Well, in two hours I leave for Boston. There's an upside and a downside to this. The upside being that I get to go to Massachusetts, a state I've never been to (except for a quick stop overnight in a motel in Franklin on my way to Florida). The downside? The Hampton that I'm staying at will...

    What music are you listening to?

    I've got Minnie Driver's "Everything I've Got In My Pocket" on. Just a second ago, it was Wendy Carlos's "By Request". How about you?

    Independence Day Banner

    Let me tell you something, Jamie: this is your best banner ever! The bus of characters is genius, and Sam looks great with that sparkler. -TA

    Any Wendy Carlos fans?

    Where I'm from, not many people know about this composer/synth expert that I consider to be one of today's last true geniuses. She is the woman behind such classic albums as "Switched-On Bach" and "Digital Moonscapes". At one point or another, she even did a collaboration with "Weird Al"...

    Non-Muppet MP3 Trade Page

    Dave's Muppet MP3 trade page worked well, so I'm creating this page as a way to trade around non-Muppet MP3s. Enjoy! :) -That Announcer

    MC's Unofficial Roy Orbison Fan Club

    Are there any other fans here of Roy? I am, he's my all-time favorite singer. He could express his voice like no-one else could before or since. I truly love him, and I'm surprised he was never a TMS guest star. If you want to join, just state your favorite Roy song. Mine is definitely...

    TA's Movie Review Thread

    Periodically, I'll be reviewing new movies here. Let's start off with: "The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3-D", starring Taylor Lautner, Taylor Dooley and George Lopez. ***1/2 out of **** I'd like to say what a piece of junk this film was, how Robert Rodriguez finally let me...

    What is your strangest habit?

    Mine is the weirdest thing anyone in my family knows about: When I'm watching my "Live By the Rule of the Rock" DVD, I have to be eating strawberry frosted Pop-Tarts. I don't know why just that DVD or just that flavor, but something clicked there. I buy Pop-Tarts in bulk now. Call me crazy-...

    Favorite stand up comics?

    Mine are Ron White, Ellen Degeneres and Robin Williams. Ron White actually gave me much of my dry sense of humor, and many of his sarcastic jokes are really rather funny. Ellen makes observations on life that are so hilarious, I find myself unable to stop laughing. Everyone in my family...

    Favorite Muppet DVD?

    Here I am again- "It is I, your weirdo little friend That Announcer." As you know I'm survey obsessed, and so I was wondering: What is your favorite Muppet DVD? Mine is MTI. I really, really hate the pan-and-scan transfer, but it's made up for by all the wonderful extras- especially the Brian...

    My Theory On Elmo

    As we all know, few on this forum like Elmo (myself included.) So why do we all hate him? Well, I have a theory. One reason is his voice. The rest of the Muppets have fairly normal, pleasant-to-hear voices. Elmo has this screechy, whiny tone that goes straight down your spine. Baby Bear...

    My 700th Post!

    I've come up to 700 posts in the extremely short time that I've been here. This fact begs the question: Do I need a life, or what? This question practically demands the answer: "Do you want me to stop, or what?" Of course, this reinforces the first question. Moving right along...
