[Petronski]

...a hideous lack of class.

I get your turn.

[Trinity_Tx]

True... and it doesn't sound like this was so bad, really.

[TechJunkYard]

Where'd Robin Williams find my Uncle's old eyeglasses?

[DoughtyOne]

[HairOfTheDog]

Careful.... you are close enough I could show up!

[Hand em their arse]

Good Lord, get him off!!!!!!!!!!

[joyce11111]

Big Bump for later

[Not A Snowbird]

Nemo, nemo, nemo!

[weegee]

Michael Moore still got to rail against the war in Iraq before he got smushed (take it to mean the war in Middle Earth is you really want, we know he meant otherwise).

[wizardoz]

Am I the only one who increasingly can't tell Robin Williams from Bono?

[Kieri]

Crystal pointing to Williams: "This is the reason for our 5 second delay"

The best animated feature (geez, there's only 3!): Finding Nemo

[mass55th]

It's Nemo!

[Diddle E. Squat]

Oh well.

BTW, too bad Robin Williams is a nitwit when it comes to politics, because he is incredibly talented and quick witted. Thought he was excellent in the 'World According to Garp'.

[Houmatt]

FINDING NEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rintense]

You are right!

[Lil'freeper]

Yaaaay Nemo!

(still haven't seen it.)

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I won't be watching for about the tenth consecutive year, but I'll check in here occasionally to see who's making an ass of himself....(on the show, not the thread!!)

LOL! My plan too!

[Not A Snowbird]

One of these days... all the Northwest FReepers should get together for a potluck!

[NYC GOP Chick]

I'm sorry, but that is just *so* wrong!

[wardaddy]

I knew better but it's like a car wreck.

Ya'll can have it, my line's been drawn in the sand as of late with that gang and I'm sticking to it.

Murray wins Best Actor is about all I cared about anyhow. I'll drive by the thread later.
