Trea:

I know people are going to come in here and laugh about this

There's nothing funny about it. I can't say I'm shocked, because nothing shocks me anymore. People are sickening. It's terrible.

But people now are younger than they used to be. They say 50 is the new 30.

Don't you ever watch old movies and the people seem so old. You might pin someone at 40 and then you find out they were actually in their 20's at the time. That's weird.

My mom used to watch that show.

Here's an article I found:

Sunshine, lollipop's and rainbow's and everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together...

Oh, I see. I thought you were referring to some sort of online jukeboxes.

I don't know what that is.

But I also love "Moonglow". I have it by Benny Goodman.

This song is so dorky and it's driving me crazy because I can't get it out of my head!:

But I kind of like it.

Y'know...it's quite accurate. They are the Astro's tickets (no apostrophe ma'! Do'h!) until you buy them.

It would look much better if they'd leave the blasted apostrophe out. Astros is plural because it's a team. You're not just buying Berkman's ticket or you might get be able to away with "Astro's tickets" because he's an Astro and that's his ticket.

musicman:

wait aren't we married? or do we have an apostrophe fetish?

Mine started years ago after reading one of the stories from the Stephen King book "Nightmares and Dreamscapes". In the story there was an old hick-like town with a video store and its sign read "Video's". From then on I can't help but notice. It especially bugs me when it's on a sign.

Yesterday I went to the San Jacinto Monument for the first time in years. At the visitor's center/gift shop over by the battleship there was a wooden cut out of a sailor and at the bottom is said something like, "Thank's for visiting". It made me want to scream. I intend on e-mailing them and suggesting they fix it. All they have to do is paint over the apostrophe

with a little yellow paint since the background was yellow.

Don't forget those Astros tickets signs downtown that say "Astro's Tickets".

I'll top your Charlie McCarthy Doll with a new prada purse that I bought for a friend.

How about a Prada purse to carry around my Charlie McCarthy doll in. Now I'll buy that for a dollar.

I just scared my not quite 3-year-old nephew with my Billy Baloney ventriloquist doll. Blah ha ha!

Wow, Jax, I thought Speeze was big. He weighs around 16 pounds. How much does yours weigh?

Virtigo58:

I always wanted someone to throw a pit in my face.

As long as they shower first.

Veritgo58:

Faded from many memories but there was a quite entertaining TV show called "Almost Anything Goes".

Seemed to be held in an arena or it was one huge set? People being thrown into giant vats of jello, etc. Entertaining to us teens anyway. As camp as it gets, but it was squeaky clean/messy fun.

Then there just had to be a Jr edition.

That's fun! Kind of like "Double Dare" or one of those other old school '80s Nick shows.

And the vats of Jello you mentioned, that reminds me of those old Jello jumps they used to have at the Omni hotel on the Katy freeway.

lockmat:

I'm learning to do the moonwalk:

That's very informative, to be honest. I didn't know there was a right or wrong way to moonwalk! And the airwalk is just too cool to fool. I'm going to have to learn those myself.

Yao was the subject of a Jeopardy question a few weeks ago.

Goodie! I'll start browsing Ebay for a Charlie McCarthy doll.

While we're at it, we might as well bring back '70s variety shows, too.

Vertigo58:

Thanks Kimberly, I couldn't get that Baltimora tune out of my head all day yesterday.

1 more confession:

Still have the single of the latest (1989) dance sensation "The Lambada" by Kaoma.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambada

Entertainment Tonight showed Mary Hart interviewing dancers as they bump & grinded on live TV. This dance was to sweep the nation,take it by storm, etc.

First song, then movie, then clothes, then....

By end of year it went kaput.

Here today gone tomorrow! get your Maalox ready!

I hate those stupid short-lived dance fads! They're crap. Macarena, anyone?

dbigtex56:

Put wine on your cereal instead. It's cheaper.

I've tried water and orange juice. The orange juice wasn't bad. My friend said her grandma used to put apple juice on hers.

Soooo, anyway, does anyone want to help me bring back vaudeville?

Why don't the Astros get some Japanese players? Japanese guys are hot.

Now that I think about it, it's hard to believe that he's just now branching out.

EastEnd Susan:

Speaking of milk. This morning my Cheerios grouped themselves into an image of the virgin mary. I ate them anyway.

Foolishness. You should have put it on Eaby or at least contacted the local news.

I eat my cereal dry. That's how much I hate milk.

Virtigo58:

Maybe we should have a True Confessions topic?

This "innovative" video would play overhead on a huge silver screen at a local dance club. The crowd below would be worshipping while you danced along.

Well shut my mouth wide open, you're just full of surprises, aren't you?

This flash-in-the-pan dude is a shoe-in for Max Headroom. Best thing to do is puke the milk on him/her/whatever. MTV was at it's zenith.

Kinky?

My grandfather was a Mason.

Milk's nasty! Sometimes I can't even drink the instant hot chocolate because I can taste the milk in it.

Bad '80s video alert:

I like how this guy basically has to dance in one spot otherwise he'll move away from the blue screen:

I used to listen to Chris, but he started getting on my nerves. This news was surprising, though.

I cannot stand Mancow.

Vertigo:

Wow Kim,

The pup has that Cujo thing going on or what? Eyes seem dialated.

Yeah? I always thought he looks like Jaws.

gwilson:

I like dogs.

Even mine?
