AFAIK, those are in different cities and different states. I think she gave Little Cuba a miss.

As stated at different times among the board, the policy for retirement for everybody (except the board) is "THEY WILL WORK UNTIL THEY DIE."

"Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets, looking for soul food and a place to eat."

Being cute, you meant "Rick Astley". You were correct. The parade float did a live Rick Roll of the entire parade, complete with a live Rick Astley! And I was watching the parade live when it happened. "What the heck....is that Rick Astley?" https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2nq11e

Sounds infrequent.

Ok, for me, one of the most interesting things that ever happened at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade happened one year while I was watching it live. There was a parade float for "Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends." The float paused to play/have the characters sing Harry Nilsson's song "Best Friend." Shortly into the song, a surprise musical guest (not known for this song) exited the float. This song ended, and he immediately began singing a song of his own, for which he is known (complete with musical accompaniment.) Who was he?

Whenever I've taught on anything, that's always been my goal- that others would start there and take it further. I think of Sir Isaac Newton, who claimed he saw so far by "Standing on the shoulders of giants," that is, the scientists who came before.

We had one or two posters who were 2nd generation vpw drones, whose parents drilled them exclusively on twi/vpw materials, which was obvious because they talked like that's all they knew. According to one, the phrase "you can only go as far as you've been taught" was correct. When he was asked about innovations and so on and their origin, he said that ALL inventions either came from God Almighty or the devil. (I mentioned he was doing a disservice to people who spent decades of their lives working in their fields to make incremental improvements.)

Let's see. Zucker and Zucker and Abrahms. If it was just Zucker and Zucker we'd have "Top Secret!", IIRC. Let's start over from the beginning. Let's see... First the Earth cooled. The the dinosaurs came. But they got too big and fat. So they died and turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes..... Zucker plus Zucker plus Abrahms (spelling?) means AIRPLANE! to me. Johnny's lines were hysterical and could all have been ad-libbed. "What can you make of this [report]?" "Oh, that? I could make a hat, a brooch, a pterodacty" "*snatches report back*" Lloyd Bridges and Leslie Neilson were known for serious roles before this- but not after. Leslie Neilson in particular's thought of as a comedic actor only now- "Spy Hard" "A Space Travesty" "Dracula- Dead and Loving It", etc.

"Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for THE RUBBER BAND MAN." IIRC, that's the Spinners.

That's it.

"I love this chick. She's got rage issues." "I DON'T HAVE RAGE ISSUES!" " Isn't this fun? It's just like a sleepover. We should order pizza, make Cosmos...! " "Hey, I know that guy." "Oh hey, you're that singer no one listens to." "Oh hey, you're the .... no one likes." "Oh... that wasn't me!" "But you dared him to do it!" "Yeah, but I dare a lot of people to do a lot of things! " "This arrow through his throat... she wanted him to die slowly." "She?" "We got a hair. And he's got a new assassin." "Who does?" "Roman Beauvais Sionis."

Well, I'm prepared, at any rate.

Wild shot here... "MANNEQUIN????"

Any chance at all this is the Vengaboys' song, "We Like to Party"????

"I love this chick. She's got rage issues." "I DON'T HAVE RAGE ISSUES!" " Isn't this fun? It's just like a sleepover. We should order pizza, make Cosmos...! " "Hey, I know that guy." "Oh hey, you're that singer no one listens to." "Oh hey, you're the .... no one likes." "Oh... that wasn't me!" "But you dared him to do it!" "Yeah, but I dare a lot of people to do a lot of things!

"The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down, of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee."

Apparently not- I was talking about Nick Kroll.

Saw an interview of one of the actors. They included a clip from the show. The clip wasn't funny. He was supposed to do a funny interview. He wasn't funny. After one of his initial comments- odd but not funny- fell, Mrs Wolf said "He thought that was funny. It explains a lot." I hope this show is allowed to die a natural death and fade into obscurity, which is all it deserves.

It doesn't matter. No matter what time it is, we're gonna ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK tonight with Bill Haley and the Comets.

Ok, next movie. "I love this chick. She's got rage issues." "I DON'T HAVE RAGE ISSUES!" " Isn't this fun? It's just like a sleepover. We should order pizza, make Cosmos...! " "Hey, I know that guy."

This IS Deep Purple's "HUSH."

That's very early for a Saturday. This is "CLOVERFIELD", found-footage meets Godzilla. No, actually, I thought this movie was better than most in either genre, no matter how I made it sound. The found-footage films are also known as "shaky cams" - because the authentic filming is with camcorders, thus the shaky footage. BTW, in case you didn't recognize the moments (but I did), They traveled on foot through the 6 train tunnels. The location they entered that had all the soldiers and medical cases was BLOOMINGDALES, 59th St and Lexington Ave, and accessible through the subway station. The final location on foot was Pershing Square, just south of Grand Central Station's main entrance. That spot's pretty well filmed. 40th and 3rd there was in "Quick Change" on the west corner (in the movie, that was the bank's location) , and the northeast corner was the CLAMP Building from "Gremlins 2." "Avengers" had their comic book panel moment almost in front of "the CLAMP Building", and "I Am Legend" (Will Smith version) used the upper road level above those. Furthermore, on 42nd at Pershing Square is that breakfast place with "the best breakfast in Manhattan", where Steve Rogers ate at the beginning of "Avengers" and in the missing scene. ("Get her number, you moron!") The breakfasts there ARE excellent but not worth the sticker price. (The Lexington Ave Diner is close, cheaper, and just as good, IMHO.) So, if the Cloverfield characters had walked past the landing spot, and then turned and looked back, the breakfast place would have been on their right, and Grand Central Station to their back. For those who know Avenue of the Americas, the tilted building was probably easy to spot. I had a general idea, but that was it.
