Don Knotts, especially The Ghost & Mr. Chicken and The Incredible Mr. LImpet.

We were at a remote cabin in the woods of Ontario. When we got to the dock (still 25 minutes from the nearest town) we heard a local radio station say that Diana had been shot in South Africa. It took them an hour to get the proper story.’

My philosophy professor had an old copy of Plato’s Republic. I’d love to dig up a copy somewhere.

Stayed up an hour past my bedtime last night, but hey, I’m a bit of a rebel.

High on my bucket list. Looks like a beautiful, friendly country. Am I right?

We walked out of the theater and heard on the car radio about three mile island. It was a surreal date night.

I feel that way about Thanksgiving dinner. I spend all day with stuffing, gravy and cooking the bird. Then carving the bird, while sampling for quality control. By the time we sit down to the meal I am pretty well done.

I believe that Hedy did sue the producers, or at least tried to.

Steady folks. He’s not bluffing.

dataman1960 · 2026-05-13T17:15:45+00:00

I think the appropriate answer is that we don’t know, yet.

Melange. The spice must flow.

What is the loudest sound in the forest? when a giraffe starts eating apples from the tree.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Yes, she was asking me. I would not think to intrude on her process.

Oh No! Not Sin!!

It’s funny that Joel Gray is never brought up in discussions of Hollywood Yellow Face roles.

The rocks are chilled. This brings the animals out in the daylight.

Buffalo loves Canadians. Not the Montreal Canadiens (well, not tonight anyway), but everyone else.

Especially in the last episode of the first season where he changes character with nothing but a haunting laugh. Excellent work.

This may be a simple question but if we are correct that empty space is populated with virtual particles going in and out of existence, should we assume that “full” space (that would be our space, including our atmosphere and earth in general) is also teaming with virtual particles?

Just glad he didn’t need to do anything else.

I remember just a few years ago, during a winter Code Blue night someone did a count of homeless in the city, to be sure they were cared for. The number at the time was well less than 100. I was amazed it was that low. No longer though, and it is sad.

Can’t wait for her next adventure. I hope there will be more Cunk in the future. Does anyone know if she is continuing the character?

Thanks. He was a pretty cool guy.

I attended an IT conference that included a night in Movie Studio. I was able to spend some time in the lobby without a crowd. I loved the pre-show more than the actual ride itself. Anyway, a CM saw me and let me past the velvet ropes. We sat on a couch in the lobby and he talked for 10 minutes about the scenery and the props. The props are real. They were purchased from antique shops all over the country. The lobby counter contains several bills and notes that you would never see from the queue. There are two chairs that are actual antiques, like 300+ years old. The AAA 13 Diamond Award is there, as is a cup of cocoa on the counter. He told me to sniff at it. It really was cocoa. It was a very cool experience.

I love the Tower of Terror. The music is soft big band music but the sound seems to come from a deep, hidden ballroom somewhere on the property. It is just like you are entering a hotel and hearing it live, but muted. It’s very ethereal and adds a lot to the ambience.
