My childhood is fading fast behind me. comic geniuses, the both of them. The world is a sadder place. Adam K. np: Liejacker/Thea Gilmore. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 May 2008 12:54:03 -0400 From: breinheimer@webtv.net (bill) Subject: ecto greylisted me/ U Utah Phillips sent this out yesterday but apparently ecto thinks I'm spam! will try again I just recently found out that U Utah Phillips "the golden voice of the great southwest" died last week. He was not at all ecto but will be recognisable to fans of Ani Difranco. He was a great storyteller and Moose Turd Pie was a classic. He was a champion of the working class and the world will be a little worse for his passing. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 May 2008 00:21:02 -0400 From: Mike Connell Subject: VERY funny moment on National Spelling Bee - video I don't know how many of you out there in Ecto-land watch the annual Scripps National Spelling Bee, but it's ALWAYS a great show. Earlier tonight during the finals, arguably the funniest moment ever in this bee happened. To top it off this kid won the bee! This is a must watch! It will be all over the news since he won it and Leno & Letterman will be fighting to book him first. This kid was comic relief the entire tournament, but this moment was the best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjzrNWPul9E Mike ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V13 #503 ***************************
