Dear World,

I really am not as stupid as I look.


Thanks,

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Seems pretty difficult logistically to set up. Was it legit 100% hand to hand connected from coast to coast?

Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Yesterday, in fact, I heard a version of that by Willie Nelson, and it was EXCELLENT.

I took part it in as a kid, so I think it was legit.

I have written like four albums worth of songs and two full comedy routines while in the shower, and I don't have even 30 seconds of "product" from those sessions.  It's like the hot water stimulates all this thought, then the cold air of outside shuts it all off again.   :) :) :)

There were some gaps in the hands but it was still very impressive.

Wikipedia says yes it did but I don't know. The US is a huge place *puts on conspiracy hat*

When I opened this thread today, these were the first posts I saw.  The answer is no.  It did not happen.  Wikipedia current says, "Despite the claimed intent, there was never any realistic chance of forming an unbroken human chain from coast to coast, as hundreds of miles of low-population areas along the route through the vast rural Midwest and Desert Southwest would have required hundreds of thousands of volunteers and millions of dollars in transportation, provision and coordination costs to keep the chain intact."  Of course, this sentence has a "citation needed" tag next to it, but there was no conceivable way for this to work, and I'm sure they'd have made a much bigger deal if it actually had worked.**

** - It certainly "worked "in the sense of raising money, but the "chain" was not at all complete.

Same. I came up with my best ideas for D&D and EP stories for roulettes while in the shower. It's perfect for brainstorming something. The trick is to write them down as soon as you're out. :)

When I used to have Cable, every Christmas morning my partner would put channel 11 because they had a Yule Log special (few hours of a Yule Log with Christmas music).

After we got rid of cable, we just go to YouTube and find a video  :lol

One of my favorite things about the holidays are the Christmas lights & music TV channels. There are a couple on Pluto TV, including those fireplace ones. I don't like having the TV unless I am sitting down to watch something, which is basically never. But anytime I was downstairs last month, I turned my favorite one of those Christmas channels on. It really added a nice, festive touch to the house.

I don't know where you live (or, maybe I do and I'm not placing it right now) but that's the same for me, even down to the station:  WPIX in New York, channel 11.  I can still remember the UHF channels we used to get:   2, 4, 5, 7, 9, and 11 from New York.   3 and 8 were local (Hartford and New Haven).  13 was PBS.  There was no 6, 10 or 12.

I'm in NYC so yes, WPIX (PIX11) was the channel I was thinking of.

And as random thoughts go, Mr. G (From PIX11 news) is the best weatherman I've seen covering the weather.

Does anyone else on DTF have 'photic sneeze reflex'? Me, my youngest son, Father and one of my brothers have it. Anytime I look at or am exposed to a bright light....it'll trigger a couple sneezes. It's most prominent when walking outside from inside and getting hit with the bright sunlight....but it also happens with just bright lights in general. It's really strange. Reading up on this condition it does say it's mostly hereditary and that it affects like 20% of the population.
