The LA Times version of an AP wired story ( http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-weirdal11apr11,1,5640736.story?coll=la-headlines-california ) reports that Weird Al's parents were found dead. Nick Yankovic, 86, and his wife, Mary, 81, were discovered about 1 p.m. Friday by members of the family. ...

In the spirit of former president Clinton, it depends upon what your definition of "it" is.

So this one could be very dirty or perfectly innocent depending on how dirty one's own mind is. Such is the way of art.

No I have not written a check knowing it would bounce but my ex-wife has on our joint account. Long story.. really requires a long social setting with the beverage of your choice.

What's the worst school mascot?

I purchased AB when it was new on vinyl and saw EC at the Grand Old Opry House in Nashville on that tour in December 1981. I recall having some 10 inch EPs with tracks which were not on the LP. A reissue will be wonderful. There should be a number of tracks not on the regular CD. I still think that ...

I remember being impressed seeing Peter Ustinov perform in the play "Beethoven's Tenth" at the Schubert Theatre while I was in college. He was simply amazing. Until I looked it up on the net just now, I didn't realize he also wrote it. In it he played the ghost of Beethoven who was trying ...

Carlene Carter was taken into custody in Nashville. Here is the link to CNN's version of the story: http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/02/people.carter.ap/index.html That story mentions that WTVF (Channel 5) reported that it was because she failed a drug test which would make this a parole vio...

I hate to reply to myself but there are already two tickets for the 11pm Friday night show on Ebay for $75.

<blush> Ahh shucks Mrs S.

I am very happy to have tickets. If anyone wants to make have dinner as a group in Memphis, just speak up.

The spooks will be in Memphis!!!! 8:30 Saturday night. Presale is now sold out.

If someone turns up with extra tickets to the 11pm show, Mrs Spooky will gladly throw in cookies.

Sorry Spooky.. I wanted to be there with you. I certainly would have had the best looking bird on my arm.

Good Luck! SG started 10 minutes early and spent about 40 minutes trying. I called Proud Larry''s and had no better luck. There were 50 tickets per show available for Internet sale and the other 170 per show were sold in Oxford. The line was backed up at 3am according to the gentleman I spoke with (...

Cope.. I am disappointed. I expected this tale to somehow involve a female.

Hmmm... I wonder if Spooky answered the questions I would do more. Just getting ranked as a plain geek doesn't sound that bad to me. It looks like playing role playing games and the SCA might give you more points.

Spooky... she wasn't concerned about the camera flash .. she wanted you to pull your top down.

Wrong kind of flash.

Spooky was typing as I crashed last night and again when I woke up. :) It was a great show with wonderful things happening before and after. I don't see that Spooky mentioned we all met at a local pub (Mulligan's) a few blocks form the Ryman before the show. They were fabulous enough to indulge us a...

Every stupid comment can't be blamed on booze. Stone cold sober people say and do stupid things every day. It is also not unusual for a tee-totaller to say something they shouldn't have. Some of the stupidest, most arrogant things I have ever heard have been said by people who portray themselves to ...

Something tells me that cow would go on a rant about eating more
chicken. Very Very Funny.

According to the ebaum site, they received a cease and desist order and the Peanuts movie will be taken down in a few days. So grab it while you can.

Does any man know what the rules are?

Crow: Couldn't help but notice the contrast between the heartfelt Christmas wishes and the smiling face in your avatar.

Merry Christmas!!

My first attempt at starting a topic. I hope it is OK. Interesting article on how Monty Python impacted the world. As usual any press of this nature is also a plug for something and in this case, it is the new coffee table book "The Pythons" by themselves. http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/T...

A couple of warnings about Greyhound buses. I have looked a few times over the past few years at a ride between Huntsville Alabama and Chattanooga Tennessee. Chattanooga is about 125 miles east of Huntsville and the drive time is about 2 hours. If you pick the bus to leave at one time, it is a direc...

Spooky has let me have a shopping spree the past few days so I have a new DVD burner to install. I am sure she will come up with other nice things for me. But mostly I am looking forward to that especially spooky Christmas after dark.

Are you going to upload any of those for the Tribute CD? I can't wait until it's done.

Yeah...glad to be back, even though a couple of days worth of posts have evanished like the snow falls in the river.... ...including one post I made in the annex. Bummer. I don't know what can be done about it since it is hard to imagine why it even would have disappeared. I doubt the hosting compa...

And the Ryman in Nashville on February 24 at 8pm.

Spooky's first EC show!! and we have great seats!!!
