never done JB. I'm not sure who would be my favorite airline anymore, but Air Canada tends to lead the pack. I completely and utterly loathe Delta, even more so that the took down a good airline, Northwest, down to their abysmal level.

British Airways, which I flew in 2002, was the last airline that really impressed me.

2002 was a good year for me. I had a secure job, I was discovering a lot of good music I'd previously neglected, and I finally got my driver's license and my first car. I was also enjoying being single more than any time in my life before or since then.

So palindrome years are the best?

Damn. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna' be pushing up daisies by the time 2112 rolls around.

1991 and 2002 were both pretty good years. maybe there's something to that.

I was born in 1991 so I agree that year was awesome.

According to this site http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/1962.html

In the year I was born the average rent was $110.00 a month. Tuition to Harvard was $1,520.00. Gas was 28 cents a gallon.

Marilyn Monroe was found dead. The Cuban Missile crisis occured. Both Wal-Mart & K-Mart opn their first stores. Jodie Foster, Demi Moore, Evander Holyfield, Joan Cusack, and Jon Stewart were born. Jon Stewart and I share the exact same birthday.

The year I was born, JFK was assassinated. Nuff said.

I was born the year Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, the hippies partied at Woodstock, the drag queens rioted at the Stonewall Inn and Sesame Street had its first broadcast.

I went to Woodstock '94 (the whole weekend) and Woodstock '99 (about 12 hours), but at the age of 10 months, I was too young to go to the original.

I always wanted a Woodstock doll. He was one of my favorites from Peanuts.

I haven't put up my Christmas tree yet, but I have lots of Peanuts ornaments. I always put a little Charlie Brown doll on the top.

Good grief!

you should hang the Charlie Brown one in a place where it catches a breeze, and near a football one. That way it can look like he's missing the kick over and over again.

Nice Avitar Kent, but a Chief's Anchor would be better.

Therefore...

I may not put up my tree at all this year. My mom is hosting Christmas dinner and I'm not expecting anyone to come over. It seems silly to put it up for just me. I guess I'm just not feeling it this year.

Feelings, nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my feelings of love
Teardrops rolling down on my face
Trying to forget my feelings of love


Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it
I wish I've never met you, girl
You'll never come again
Feeling, woo-o-o feeling
Woo-o-o, feel you again in my arms


Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like I'll never have you again in my heart


Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it
I wish I've never met you, girl; you'll never come again


Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like I'll never have you again in my life


Feelings, woo-o-o feeling it,
woo-o-o, feeling again in my arms
Feelings

I really have no intense feelings about the "pure" pop versus the grunge/"alternative" rivalry that was such a big part of the local music scene in the 1990s. Most of my knowledge of the pop music from that time comes secondhand, and I'm usually guided towards what I find amusing/diverting by word of mouth rather than by anything "pro" critics have to say.

Right now, I'm blasting mr_cleome's copy of Urge Overkill's Saturation because I think it's a welcome blast of glitzy, dopey fun after a grueling day of work and a million jillion treacly-ass Xmas carols. The arguments in some quarters about whether the band was an actual pop band or more like a ham-fisted post-post-mod joke about pop bands doesn't mean diddly to me.

My mom's playing the Ray Conniff Christmas album at full blast in the background.

Frank Conniff played "TV's Frank", the assistant-slash-whipping boy to Trace Beaulieu's evil mad scientist "Dr. Forrester" on Mystery Science Theater 3000. One of the funniest bits was Dr. Forrester imprisoning Frank in a life-size Operation board game and torturing him.

I was never a devotee of MST3K, but those I did see were usually fun. They did trash a mae-for-PBS scifi flick I loved as a teen though, Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, probably the very first Raul Julia work I'd ever seen.

In the Addams Family movies, Uncle Fester was Gomez' brother. But in the TV series he was Morticia's uncle.

John Astin, TV's Gomez Addams, also filled in as the Riddler on the Batman TV series on one second season two-parter, filling in while execs were stuck in pay negotiations with regular Riddler Frank Gorshin.

Another episode of the Batman TV series which was originally supposed to feature the Riddler had to be re-written to feature the Superman villain The Puzzler, played by Maurice Evans, who is probably most famous for playing Dr. Zaius in Planet of the Apes.

I think Maurice Evans is just as, if not more well known for his role as Maurice, Samantha's father, on Bewitched.

Maurice LaMarche has been my favorite voice actor since his days on Pinky And The Brain. Back on the old alt.wb boards, he referred to the duo as something like "the large-headed megalomaniac and his loopy longtime companion." So he sort of outed his own fictional character, I guess.

um... unless I'm misreading, Rocky has won!
