But wow, I saw the trailer for "A Civil Action" about 45 times today....now I love John Travolta and all (as he bears a *striking* resemblance to my pseudo-ex /unresolved issue), but damn, that's ENOUGH! I hope we screen better trailers tomorrow. Hmm, and Pulp on Conan last night...in light of my dream about Jarvis and the mic stand, I had to see some irony in the fact that on the real broadcast there WASN'T a mic stand. Spencer: I have yet to see "the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (though I will in one of my film classes next year, so don't you worry). and my use of the word somnabulism was yoinked from "Walden" of all things. That was one of our vocab words in my good old honors english class way back in the day.....okay so that "day" was really like '95, but yo..shaddup. And I may not wear glasses, but I do whupp ass at Trivial Pursuit, and I can tell a good dirty joke. So does that make me #12, after marcus and his frock? Sara: I'm so glad you got the Rufus Wainwright CD (shut UP, Scott) -- AND quoted my FAVORITE line from Foolish Love. That's a big high-five to you! As for being your new guru, I shall do my best to prove myself worthy of you, babe! Scott: Your big package o'fun went in the mail on thursday... menawhile you're in Atlanta, so maybe it'll be waiting for you when you get home. As for bands of the past who are now defunct...Menudo is STILL together!!! I saw some Teen Idols thing on VH1, and apparently they've been through like 37 members total and now they go by some weird (but "hip") acronym like M.D.O. Hey Jessica, let me know the dilly with the SNZ thing when you get a chance...and tell ken hi for me..not that he'd know me, but yeah. Ay-i-i. I've got to pick out soemthing to wear to work tomorrow. So I shall take my leave of you now. Fare thee well, fjordians! ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "Two martinis please. Very dry." "How'd you know what I drink?" "Oh, you want one too? Make that three!" ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 Jun 1998 22:52:32 EDT From: HndOfChaos@aol.com Subject: Damn right, I'm CONNECTed In a message dated 98-06-11 03:27:36 EDT, FL wrote: > I just finished using Ben's head as a pong paddle at that CONNECTED site. > Also sang along like a 5 year-old to KATE!

Other than that (and I > *finally* learned that women take their panty-hose off, stick their foot in > the > toilet and pee down their leg to use the restroom), it was fun. Mmmmm...sugar cookie. Anyhoo, finally got that CONnected thing to work. That flower thing has some pretty BIZARRE behavior, bouncing around the lyrics to Kate, if you ask me. A flower having sezures? sizures? sissures? I can't spell any more. If women take off their pantyhose, stick their foot in the toilet and pee down their lef to use the restroom, then wouldn't it be hard to get the hose back on? Bathroom stalls are *not* that cozy, 'less, of course, you're one of THOSE people who hog the handicapped one. Not that I spend that much time in the bathroom [shut up, you freak!]....did you know that 15% percent of women wear their panyhose under their underwear? Um, real content. In CONNECTED...What does everyone think of the fact that Ben still remembers how to play the piece he played in his piano recital at age 9? "Pineapple Rag" or something like that...by Master Joplin....anyone care to confirm on the title of the piece? It's very famous, I believe.... Any one else find the faces that the Boys make when the ping-pong ball hits their heads hilarious? I saw D's and started cracking up, because it was so unbelieveably ridiculous. Sorry no big words, Marcus. Ran out of Word of the Day toilet paper. Denmother Anne, can I go to the bathroom? No fair, Sandi got more than I did! When are we going camping? I don't wanna be bunkmates with him, he wets the bed.... Can we visit the nautical museum? Can we, canwe, canwe canwecanwecanwe? Please, please puhLEASE!?!?!? Where's my Swiss Army Knife? Jen said a bad word! I'm telling on you, Eric.... How come we have to learn all these stupid knots? Uh, oh. Itsnotsupposedtodothat, isit? What happens if you accidentally scorch your beret? My shoelaces came untied again. Spencer said "Shut up" to Scott... Are we there yet? ~Kathryn THE STRANGEST THINGS "Howard, the strangest things have happened lately..." http://members.xoom.com/HndOfChaos `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Jun 1998 00:32:04 -0400 (EDT) From: "Kelly A Vallender" Subject: Sorry Erik... Just thought that I might as well get that out of the way, my subject line, that is. Because I absolutely agree with Anne. Anne U rock. Now if there were to be a hierarchy of Ben Folds Five Fans Jon RiChA...(what is that?), then I think that there could be a certain shortcake that would rule. Now...IF there was this hierarchy of fans it would probably go by things such as How many shows have you been too/how many ALBUMS you have/and maybe we could throw in there such things as how many MILES you've traveled (texas, LA, VEGAS) or maybe even how well you KNOW the band. I'm not saying that people who haven't the means to do so don't enjoy the music and the band as much, but you have to understand that one who has been to over 25 shows must know her shit, and no one should ever question or tell someone *higher up* Right? Cause if you do you might look stupid(ooops did I say that) Right? I'm sure that all of us here probably own most if not all of everything that the band has put out... Ok I'd better stop. It's enough that my beloved Sandi has moved 5 hrs farther south, I can't tolerate someone telling her what to do. he he DSST!!!!!!!!!! I just got done watching in envy the MTV coverage of the Tibetan Freedom Concert my roomate is there right now. I think that Ben Folds Five should've been there though, seeing as how Sean Lennon, BecK, and Dave Mathews were. I'll bet that they are there next year. Out of curiousity Has anyone heard that interview on National Public Radio out of Chicago with the guys? It had a few parts of songs from the Vic show and some really *cool* interviews. he he. If you have heard it please let me know. I can't remeber who posted about the *pickles* dream, but I have to say that it was quite hilarious. I, too, have had weird water/fishing dreams. I once fished for sandwiches in my dream and then somehow ended up floating on a piece of bread in the pacific ocean. Can you Imagine....!!!!! Weird. Anyways I think that I'm going to go to bed and dream about how I wish that I was going to Atlanta. I may call up the local blockbuster first though and ask them if Titanic is in yet. KIDDING!!
