But, when he gets there, he's gone back in time, and it's his hometown all right, but he's about 10 years old. He sees his father and mother, and, of course, himself. Try though he might not to do so, he does alter the future, ever so slightly. << I particularly liked the scene in which Michael J. Fox got into that cool car.

But me, I've always heard Howie's lyrics differently. That's because I had four wisdom teeth yanked out last week... Seriously, at the age of 46, I had my wisdom teeth pulled. I mean, "My mouth felt like meat" -- is that universal or what? I'm willing to admit that I might need to Howie's lyrics another listen. Maybe I'm just confused because of all the vicadin. - -lee ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2000 10:18:16 -0700 From: "Clary, John (CLRY)" Subject: RE: [RS] Weird Al Howie almost burst my bubble by sharing: >>It was on June 14, 1999 that I wrote...I saw my tooth today...<< Well, I wasn't envisioning a boxing theme, so I don't think I psychically plagiarized you, Howie -- Whew!. I was thinking more of a 7 year old and several means for dislodging a loose tooth (string to the door knob, etc.) and culminating with a visit by the Tooth Fairy, in I Lost My Tooth Today. I think your parody is funny though. j a c ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 01 Sep 2000 18:28:00 -0400 From: "Norman A. Johnson" Subject: [RS] Richard Serling? I see "I saw my youth today" as the narrator seeing both his son and then mystically seeing his younger self. Very twilight zone. "Transit" could also be a twilight zone episode... and as someone pointed out, Dana Delany should play the nun. I think Richard would love to play Rod.
