Randy Newman...Ellen Degeneres opening the show?

Didn't see a thread so here's one to yakk on.

[nicmarlo]

[PMCarey]

I'm drawing a blank.....I vaguely remember the rain....I can't remember why he tore his shirt off...please refresh my memory...what point in the movie was this?

It's when he looks up at the pouring rain and yells, "Mennnnnddooooozzzzaaaaaaaaa!!!!"

A little NRO reference for those who know :-)

[MozartLover]

Ahh...........the Battle of Stirling...........

[nicmarlo]

I don't recall that yell, lol. : )

[eddie willers]

No but one of my favorite lines to use on my kids is 'Because I said so.' Does that count? ;)

I love the shirt that says:

"Because I'm The Mommy, That's Why!"

Oh, I would like to have seen Garth & Trish.

But not enough to wade through this load.

Kirstie Alley (on Rita Cobsey right now)looks about 90 years old and 90 miles of bad road.

First time I have ever watched Rita's new show... and thee last.

I am reminded of the Larry the Cable Guy line about Natalie Maines....

"If it weren't for the pretty girls,let's face it, Natalie would be working in a Lane Bryant in Nashville."

[sfimom]

lol I've got one that says "I'm not a harda$$ I'm just a mom'

[altura]

Well, they show it every third night on cable, so you'll get the chance. (Shawshank)

[nicmarlo]

Do you remember which cable program?

My brother is in Shreveport. He recently wrote an email to family friends:

Things have been unreal here. Our city has grown 3 fold. Everyone has left New Orleans and Mississippi and came here. We have been busy, I have not had a day off in over 2 weeks. We(myself and work employees) have been going to the shelters in my(our) spare time. I can't put into words how f^%ked up it is to see kids walking around with nothing but fear and heartache, to see grown men's eyes with a lost look in them. The smiles we put on there faces even for a short time with a hot meal and some toys is something I will never forget. I will be off Monday and Tuesday and will Spend most of the day and night feeding them and trying to have the work shuttle the parents with kids to my complex to go swimming. The complex is cool with it,so will see how it goes. For my Friends in Florida it will be impossible to get to the game this weekend, The out of Pocket expense it has cost me for food and toys for these people has made it all but impossible. I wish I was there with you guys showing off my brand new son, but I need to do this for myself as much as for the kids that have lost everything. Please have a Shot or 10 of crown for me. And LETS GO CANES!!!!!!!!

For anyone in the Shreeveport area... he the guy who won the Gentleman's Cook Classic Contest... Scrap Iron Chef. Bless him and his co-workers/friends for what they are doing on their time with their dime. RON(Phantomcanes)

[nicmarlo]

Amen...God bless them for what they are doing for these folks; I wish I could myself.

[altura]

Sorry. I've forgotten what we're talking about.

Do you mean Shawshank?

[sarasmom]

I don't have cable, and if I did, I would not watch this type of crap.
The honest charitable organizations in my county have requested that people stop physically showing up with offerings, until they can get a handle on long term requirements.
They have requested that you leave a message with your contact information, ability and/or willingness to help, and ask that you be patient while they sort out an overwhelming response.
This telethon?
Screw "Hollywood". To them, its just another venue.

[nicmarlo]

yes, you said Shawshank plays every third week, I think?

[MozartLover]

TNT plays it a lot.

[nicmarlo]

Thanks...I'll remember to check when it's next on.
