Snow White is one of the best human cartoons created by Disney. Her designers inspired her movements from a ballet dancer. Among the seven dwarves, two were inspired by famous figures of the 30s: Dopey was taken from Eddie Collins and Sneezy from Billy Gilbert. The other five are called Bashful, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy and Doc. Their characterization and personality is Walt Disney's success.
..It's too bad I'm not good enough to insert Tom Daschle into the picture :-))

Why do I keep getting e-mail spam ads for Viagra? I am Viagra! You have references on that. An FDA aproved double blind test maybe? Or even a blind drunk double shot of Tequila test?

I just discovered something, speaking of whacky music at the old ballpark. Did you know that the final two surviving members of the original Dodgers Sym-phony Band from Ebbets Field put in an appearance at Yankee Stadium in the 1996 World Series?
The Dodgers Sym-phony Band (appreciative broadcaster Red Barber gave them the name, with the emphasis on phony) were five fanatical fans who picked up musical instruments, couldn't play to save their hides, dressed in variations of Willard Mullin's famous Emmett Kelly caricature image of the Brooklyn Bum, and drove opposing teams nuts but Ebbets Field fans to delerium with their musical punctuations. (A typical Dodgers Sym-phony Band gag involved their bass drummer beating time to the footsteps as an enemy pitcher was taken out in the middle of a Dodger rally, following him back to his dugout, then at the split second his derriere planted on the bench, bass drummer and cymbal player would give a loud spoomph! They were also likely to play "The Worms Crawl In, The Worms Crawl Out" or "Three Blind Mice" when close calls on the bases went against the Dodgers.)
The original Dodgers Sym-phony Band were: Jo Jo Delio (cymbals), Paddy Palma (bass drum), Phil Caravelle (trumpet), Lou Soriano (trombone), and Jerry Martin (snare drum); it would be Martin whose top hat bore the white-lettered "Our Bums"). Paddy Palma was succeeded by Louie Dallajacono. It was Delio and Dallajacono who appeared at Yankee Stadium for the 1996 Series. Dallajacono told the Bergen Record that, yes, some diehard Ebbets Field fans would have been mortified to see the last two Sym-phony Bandsmen showing up at Yankee Frickin' Stadium, but for he and Delio being there brought back the memories of those epic Dodger-Yankee Subway Series of the 1940s and 1950s.

*LOL* That's a great story! What a lot of fun to have a sym-phony band at the game. Who deleted their post anyway? (just to be topical)

I'm not entirely sure when that sort of thing began to become verboten at the major league parks. For years at the Polo Grounds and Shea Stadium, you would hear buglers and other horn blowers sounding out whacky melodies for the Mets and agains the opposition. You'd also hear whacky percussives at a lot of parks. I have a vague recollection that there was a fan at Cincinnati's Crosley Field who would strap on a snare drum and play the drum solo from "Wipe Out" whenever those heavy-hitting Reds of the 1960s looked like they might break a game open into a blowout. Before then, the Ebbets Field organist, Gladys Gooding, picked up the Dodgers Sym-phony Band's cue and hit the umps with "Three Blind Mice" - and actually got ejected from the park for her trouble! (She also played "May The Good Lord Bless You and Keep You" after the final Dodger game in Brooklyn.)
On the other hand, these days the Show parks spend so damned much for all those highfalutin' high-tech toys that it seems a combination of fans figuring why bother and, in some cases, park security stopping them from bringing their racketmakers and even signs and banners into the yard. And, of course, you have sensitive owners who are half afraid that they'll get what George Steinbrenner got in the 1980s. At the peak of his deconstruction of the Yankees, Steinbrenner was routinely greeted with such banners and images as the five mezzanine fans who appeared with brown paper bags over their heads, or the Yankee Banner Day parade participant who dressed as a monk, carried a huge cross, and dangled a sign from the cross: Forgive him, Father, for he knows not what he does - that fan got ejected from the stadium. And, in 1988, after Teddy Kennedy's infamous "Where Was George" speech to the Damnocratic National Convention, Yankee fans - who'd learned a few tricks from their Metsian counterparts over the years - let Steinbrenner have it thus: We Know Where George Was - Unfortunately!
I also have to admit - on the one hand, graffiti and I don't mix. But on the other hand, baseball fans have been its most creative users. Like the Brooklyn fan who took a can of paint to Ebbets Field's occupancy warning inside the main rotunda and made it read: Occupancy By More Than 35,000 Unlawful ...and unlikely - that in the 1930s. Around the same time, there was the suffering Philadelphia fan who hit a Baker Bowl sign showing an endorsement for Lifebuoy deodorant soap: The Phillies Use LIFEBUOY! ...and they STILL stink!
Of course, no one has yet topped the seven Met fans who greeted the first visiting appearance by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1962 by rolling down, in perfect synchronisation, seven window shades on which was spelled out:

I dont know what your trying to say but let me make it clear, What I wrote to Jim R. was what happened, I could not see any of my posts, in my self search area, so it appeared that all was being deleted.
When I went back to each site to view it did not appear.
So let me make it clear, no one, and I mean no one calls me a liar, and I am beginning to see your agenda.
Anne Coulter called it on Crossfire last night,
Apparently your operting under the premise
that using accusatory verbage on the forum with
someone who had an honest problem, you can
try and cheapen the stand they take?
I am a Journalist by trade, and have been posting here without so much as a problem until this incident,
I suggest you check with your tecnical department and
stop antognizing Freepers with accusatory words.
God Bless America!

I am sure you can understand how I felt, since you were going from thread to thread saying you were being censored when no such thing was happening.
Thanks, AM.
