But I'm afraid it's a total lie to say that I actually try very hard on that blog. Unlike my previous seizure-inducing works on Bravejournal, my new blog mostly involves linking to crap that I like (or made for a class).<br /><br />wdnvp- Abbreviation for "Walt Disney's Non-Valued Person."

I wanna see it!Perhaps the ABC will take it up (silly phrase, but apparently it's industry buzz). In the meantime, all you cricketing chaps might like to Google the ABC's on-line photo gallery of the Victorian fires.There's a splendid piece of advertising to be nicked by either the Immigration Dept. or the Tourism Bureau, showing rural fire fighters playing limited overs while waiting for the fire.(Obviously, before several fires got together to form a 250kms front of blazing hell.)<br />I think you'll find it at www.abc.net.au/photo gallery.<br />I thought "Cagney" was played by the woman whose name sounds like a Northumbrian newspaper?

I would feel a whole lot better if De Niro were in there also, and Pacino, and my personal favourite, Edward G Robinson, was President.

While possessed of a bizarre falsetto while singing, Tim demonstrated more of a baritone speaking voice. I was able to make the comparison because Tim regaled my wife and me with a few bars of "On the Trail of the Lonesome Pine."<br /><br />I can reliably report, also, that there was no homosexual or heterosexual activity during this incident.<br /><br />Based on this incident, I think it may be plausible to infer that Sitting Bull did not sound like Tiny Tim given that there are no records of which I'm aware that show Mr. Bull ever possessed a ukulele.<br /><br />Given that M. Bull also was not known for wearing one glove or for igniting himself while indulging in locoweed, I think it is also fair to infer that the likelihood of his vocal resemblance to Michael Jackson or Richard Pryor is also nil.<br /><br />I'm afraid that my account fo Mr. Tim is true.Frontier Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04891697493412161849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10272587.post-59511143189539917172006-12-10T11:59:00.000+00:002006-12-10T11:59:00.000+00:00Thank you all for your insights on homosexuality. ...Thank you all for your insights on homosexuality. <br />In all, it adds nothing to the issue.<br />And no one has yet informed me whether Sitting Bull sounded like Michael Jackson, Richard Pryor or Tiny Tim.Vicus Scurrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731007799031343701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10272587.post-29650730506532779032006-12-09T20:21:00.000+00:002006-12-09T20:21:00.000+00:00I only saw The State Within once, with the volume ...I only saw The State Within once, with the volume turned down, when we visited the in-laws.<br /><br />I have to say that the close up scene of two men kissing is by far and away the best thing I've seen of television for several years, and was crucial to the plot as far as I can tell. A pity that I didn't record it so that I could re-watch it again and again to study the lighting, camera work, use of editing, etc. <br /><br />I should also state that Jason Isaacs is a rather lovely man to look at.<br /><br />That's all I have to say on the matter.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296810448779372875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10272587.post-39686332339012080582006-12-09T19:51:00.000+00:002006-12-09T19:51:00.000+00:00Vicus,

I suppose it's the same sort of creepiness that Bea Arthur and RuPaul emit. Why can't tv producers just stop tap-dancing around the issue and do a "what-if" with Whittaker Chambers, Alger Hiss and Kim Philby in a three-way?<br /><br />Almost forgot - good afternoon >B^D>Frontier Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04891697493412161849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10272587.post-41206350178136636922006-12-09T17:35:00.000+00:002006-12-09T17:35:00.000+00:00Now I'm in a right 2 and 8.

I agree the homosexuality was obviously thrown in to make it more modern or something.
