Christi, we've been overrun with ladybugs too. That happens every year now, it seems. 12609. concerned - 12/9/2004 9:30:03 AM I hate the prying eyes of furniture. 12610. concerned - 12/9/2004 9:31:38 AM These are the Manson family home videos. Here, Tex, Squeaky and the gang lightheartedly tease Charlie. 12611. wabbit - 12/9/2004 9:32:41 AM prying eyes of furniture
Sounds like a band name. 12612. concerned - 12/9/2004 9:33:08 AM Thank you, Corky the Water Clown, for making us laugh about love... again. 12613. concerned - 12/9/2004 9:49:37 AM I really dig goofy lines like the last few posts here (which I pulled from another site). 12614. Ulgine Barrows - 12/9/2004 10:47:37 AM Late to the party as usual, I really liked reading your lists of music.

Anyone ever heard of "The Shaggs"?
Alas, yes. I have heard of them and have heard them, you cruella. Please don't remind me again.
An a cappella group I like, is The Nylons.
My brother is going through a difficult time, and I was trying to explain 'Train in Vain' to him, but he just wouldn't get it.
Three Dog Night - for me, their important song is 'One'.
The thing about lists. There are too many entries. One person has their own reason for liking it, another has a different reason. I'm the sort who wants to reply to each entry on each list, I hate to play favorites winky,but I've not the time.
XTC - Making plans for Nigel, mmm.
Just now, I'm listening to Lemonheads' "It's a Shame About Ray" 12615. Ulgine Barrows - 12/9/2004 10:59:38 AM The good part goes like this:
some things need to go away
If I make it through today
I'll know tommorow
not to leave my feelings out on display
I'll put the cobwebs back in place
I've never been too good with names but I remember faces
It's a shame about Ray 12616. Absensia - 12/9/2004 11:31:04 AM Wabbit, thanks for the links...that really helped! 12617. Ulgine Barrows - 12/9/2004 12:34:36 PM redenvelope is the best of the bunch, I think.
iiibbb, my local post office has a similar come-on posted about the troops.
The DC address is a national thing?

PsychProf - 12/9/2004 1:45:13 PM Mags...send me an e-mail to my University address...I need to put you on the humor list again. 12620. iiibbb - 12/9/2004 3:51:12 PM I have no extra details....a Vet friend of mine sent it to me. 12621. iiibbb - 12/9/2004 3:52:22 PM Here's a more national one on the same vein 12622. Magoseph - 12/9/2004 4:00:20 PM Done, Prof, thanks!
It looks as we won't be able to ignore the Christmas and New Year festivities, so I m now into the spirit of the occasions. There's a conspiracy to get us involved this year, coming directly from our loved ones--certainly we can't disappoint such strong feelings as they are universal in their worlds.
Hello, everyone! 12623. judithathome - 12/9/2004 5:20:39 PM Happy Holidays, Magos! 12624. Magoseph - 12/9/2004 6:35:10 PM Thank you, Judsie, and the same to you and Keoni. 12625. Magoseph - 12/9/2004 8:41:56 PM Nativity painting
When I was a child, I had a book, long lost now, full of nativity scenes of the XIV and XV centuries. Today, I found some of them, in particular the following one: Domenico Ghirlandaio
(1449 - 1494)
Sainte Trinité
Florence
Here is the link for the site"
Tableaux 12626. Magoseph - 12/9/2004 11:04:09 PM Celebrity Nativity scene draws ire in U.K
LONDON -- Christian leaders on Wednesday denounced a Nativity scene at a London wax museum featuring soccer star David Beckham and his wife Victoria, a former Spice Girl, as the parents of Jesus.
The waxwork tableau at Madame Tussauds museum included U.S. President George W. Bush as one of the three Wise Men, actors Hugh Grant and Samuel L. Jackson as shepherds and Australian disco diva Kylie Minogue as an angel.
"There is a well-understood tradition that each generation interprets and reinterprets the Nativity ... but, oh dear!" said the Rev. Jonathan Jenkins, spokesman for the archbishop of Canterbury, who leads the world's 77 million Anglicans.
At the Vatican, a spokesman said it was unacceptable to have celebrities representing Jesus, Joseph or Mary.
The spokesman mentioned the tradition in Naples of using celebrities such as Argentine soccer star Diego Maradona, but never as one of the principal figures. "This means that the crib can be lived as something that's contemporary. But the central mystery must be respected," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity....
"We're sorry if we have offended people," said Diane Moon, a spokeswoman for the museum, who said it was intended in a spirit of fun.
The scene also features British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Prince Philip as Wise Men, and flamboyant talkshow host Graham Norton as a shepherd.
Arum Kataria, a spokesman for the Church of England, was unimpressed by Madame Tussauds' exhibit.
"The eternal story of Jesus will last a lot longer than these waxworks or the celebrities in it," he said. 12627. arkymalarky - 12/10/2004 12:57:34 AM Another song I heard today that's one of my all-time favorites--"Hold Your Head Up" by Argent.
