Hey, enough time has passed, right? In any case, discussion of the show was pretty deeply mired in that shameful chapter of feggy history for which I share much of the blame, so it seems pretty reasonable that any one of us might've blotted it out completely. But I hasten to add that I was totally offlist during both the 9/11 and Nader imbroglios, so it ain't all me. (And that episode of GG that I watched really did suck. In my opinion.) - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 May 2009 09:33:29 -0700 From: Rex Subject: Re: OH MY FUCKING GOD SOMEBODY FAMOUS JUST DIED I HOPE I CAN BE THE FIRST TO REPORT IT Who???? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 May 2009 13:12:50 -0400 (EDT) From: Jill Brand Subject: yes, well, maybe bobsyerunc@earthlink.net wrote: "Does anyone listen to 92.5 The River FM in Boston (and NH)?, WXRV? www.theriverboston.com.

Hey that reminds me, what about a remake of "I, Claudius" starring Miranda Cosgrove?

Thank god someone was there. Maybe someday I'll actually read those sections of the archives.
