Welcome to the OFFICIAL Friday/Saturday Night Singles' Thread
"We're Gonna Have a Good Time Tonight...Let's Celebrate...It's All Right!"
In store for tonight (as proposed by apackof2):
To get our thread started, we're going to answer these questions:
1) "When and why did you join Free Republic?"
2) "What was going on at the time?" (Top movies, favorite song(s), price of gas, etc.)
3) "What happened on that day in history?"
Of possible further interest:

Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots
conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse,
to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.
And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!

About the first DVDs I ever bought were a Red Skelton set. (Is that grammatically correct?) They don't make family-friendly comedy shows like they used to!
I've heard that Cracker Barrel has a cool selection of old radio shows and books-on-tape and music, but until now I didn't live near one. There's one in the next town, though...have to check that out someday.

The original was pretty graphic and horrific for the time.
I suspect that the movie going public had never seen some of the violence (people being bitten to death,etc.) portrayed in film before.

Did you listen to the "(Some) Men Are Evil" link at the top?

Oh dear....
I'd heard that before, but not for years. I'd like to *think* it's just a setup, but if not...that's just painful! What a creep!

Yes, he is a creep. I also had to insert silence in a few spots for obvious reasons...
How about the part where he says, "I was kidding!"

It just shows you how evil some people can be...they lie to cover up their lies.
Now someone is singing (screeching)...lovely.

All songs like that tend to go on forever. Also generally have no discernable melody or rhyme.
I used to go to a local open mic a lot. There were some truly great local musicians who would show up, but there were some truly awful ones as well. Some people shouldn't be allowed to own a guitar...

Now they're just going freestyle and that really creeps me out...I don't know why, but having someone just sing "Oh yeah" over and over again is freaky.

It hasn't hit rock bottom until they drag out harmonicas and start endlessly jamming on one chord. Trust me on this.
