Garth, where was your believing? How could you believe for all of us to miss your birthday? Do you know why we all missed it? It was the FEAR in the heart and life of Garth P. I'm so ashamed of you. Get thee behind me. No, wait, that sounds sick. Happy birthday. The Living Epistles Society

I got "Pennants and Pinstripes" for my birthday. LET'S GO YANKEES!!!!! Thanks again everyone! The Living Epistles Society

Thanks everyone. We can always count on Kit to remember a birthday! Word Wolf, you da man! Sudo, that is just so sickenly cute, I need an insulin shot. Who was that, the Latina Olsen twins? Sheesh. I appreciate the warm wishes. Raf The Living Epistles Society

Geek, I work Saturdays, but if you can be persuaded to do this on a Sunday, I'll be more than happy to be there. Otherwise I insist on joining you for dinner Saturday night. Rafael The Living Epistles Society

Happy to come out of retirement for this list! My personal un-favorites... Mr. Smith: an orangutan drinks a special formula and develops a really high IQ, including the ability to talk, play chess, and work for the government. I think he's still at the SEC. V: A great miniseries was actually a pilot for a television series that was just too expensive to produce. So they decided to film a sequel-miniseries to wrap up all the loose ends. With all the loose ends wrapped up, NBC decided NOW was a good time to authorize a series, with half the actors, half the budget, half the scenes recycled and none of the suspense that made the original so much fun. Condo: A white family is dismayed that they bought an expensive condo right next door to a Puerto Rican family. Misfits of Science: a bunch of teens with unscientific abilities, including the ability to read that dialogue with a straight face. Galactica 1980: Turns out getting there was ALL the fun. You know a show is doomed when it's named after the present year. I mean, if the show lasted until 1981, would they have had to rename it? The New Odd Couple: Actually, the Old Odd Couple's scripts, read by new black actors. Emeril: The pain! The pain! Make it go away!!! Teletubbies: Please! Bring back Emeril!!! Second Chance: This was really bad. Matthew Perry starred as the teenage version of a 40-something-year-old man who dies and comes back to the past to set himself on the right path. The Tortelli's: Frasier may be the most intelligent series spinoff ever. The Tortelli's, spun-off from the same series (Cheers) may have been the worst. Top of the Heap: Another really bad one. This was a spin-off of Married with Children (!) and starred Matt Le Blanc. For those keeping track, we have THREE "Friends" stars covered (Courtney Cox was in Misfits of Science). Ah, that was fun. Okay, back to retirement. The Living Epistles Society

Steve, My plagiarism was a little too obscure. I was parodying a line from Superman II, when General Zod first sees the Fortress of Solitude near the end of the movie. The Living Epistles Society

Scruffy. A sentimental replica of a thread long since vanished. No style at all. The Living Epistles Society
