Happy first day of spring! Am celebrating by going to Ocean City with the Bunco ladies gurrls. I hope it's not too cold there! I have to finish start packing! Have a great weekend everyone! eta: in the 'Better late than never' category - CONGRATS COUCHIE!

Back to Hitchhiker's Guide and Amazon...... here's an odd mix of the two...... xkcd - a webcomic - KINDLE (this just might convince me to buy one...)

Ha I wondered the same exact thing!! Unless he's buying a new tour bus, I guess it doesn't matter!!

I'm interested too. Me too...because I know where my towel is. *g* Yes, you must always have your towel..... I am interested in that too.... somewhere I believe I have a bad VHS tape version of it too from PBS!! Was that in the 80's?? We didn't get very good TV reception back then! FWIW, the BBC version is also available from Amazon. Also, I have some audio versions of the radio show I can share if anyone is interested! PM me, and I'll send you a link. :nana: :14: CONGRATS ANNA!!!

So, you need to check that out and get back to us on it!!! Have fun in the UK! I am hoping we can take a quick jaunt to Ireland in May to see the old folks.

Gosh, I would have to dig the book out again to answer that question! He worked on a few different tv shows, but I think there was only one HHGTTG, although I am not certain. Could I get back to you on that one? While we're doing quotes tho, I have one I want to share. It's not a famous one and not one you would be likely to recognise unless you are a Neil Gaiman fan! It made me laugh out loud when I read it!! I finished reading "Good Omens" a couple of weeks ago, written by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. (I've never read any of Terry Pratchett's stuff before but after this I might give it a try.) Here's the quote, but first I should explain the context. Many unusual things were happening on the day the world was supposed to end. Two of the characters were talking to the guard at the gate of an Army base in England, trying to gain entry, when a group of kids went whizzing thru the gate on bicycles, without stopping. And here's a movie quote I've always liked. I love ones that make me chuckle! Then there's always this one... Thanks Scarlett! Fun game!

I never saw the movie, but I did read all the books--A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Yeah, that's a great one! Wasn't that from "Mostly Harmless?" I love Douglas Adams, I was so sorry when he died so young. Did you know that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy started out as a TV show and then morphed into a book? He was so bad about deadlines and getting it written on time to be broadcast every week, that sometimes he would be writing it as the players were performing it. I read this in a really cool book by Neil Gaiman (another of my favorite authors) in a book about Douglas Adams called "Don't Panic."

GIBBY --- WORD!!

Anyone except Canadians, that is How completely imbecilic to block a show that plays here! well crap!! Take heart! There seem to be quite a bit of it on YouTube!

Here's a page with 30 Rock videos for anyone who hasn't seen it. (or anyone who has...) They have 2-minute replays and a link to full episodes - take your pick!! As for the 6-mo gag order on Clay's work... I guess I am in the wait-and-see car. I really hope there is some significance to the April 16/Independent hint!!

Okay, who plays Doctor Manhattan! kf - for what it's worth: chachadotter#1, SIL & friend walked out of Watchmen this past Saturday. They couldn't take all the blood and guts spewed all thru the part they watched. Even my SIL! I think they stayed for around half of it. dotter#1 said it wasn't even like it was spread out, it was like every 2-3 minutes. And not just wounding and blood, but actual body parts like you'd see in an anatomy disection class. I was mildly interested in seeing it until she said she sat there with her eyes covered thru most of it. If you want full frontal nudity, buy a Playgirl!! Let us know what you think if you actually go and see it! eta: Billy Crudup plays Dr. Manhattan

OK - just came up with my 3 fave romantic songs... "And I Love Her" - The Beatles (Paul!) - either AHDN version, Geo Martin instrumental version is to die for! "Unchained Melody" was always a fave - remember it being featured as Paula's 'song' on Cheers? "To Catch the Wind" - Donovan - the most poetic song about unrequited love out there - hands down! (I heard it on a commercial recently, what's up with that?) Thanks liney!

Hey all - did ja miss me? I've been here lurking, but I had to skip about 20 pages so I am not up on everything. Love those new pictures!! I wonder who shot them? Seeing Clay with his ipod makes me wonder if he's listening to new posibilities for another album. This post brought to you by Speculations R Us! lilyshine - Love the book-binding!! They're beautiful! Does it require a lot of expensive equipment? muski - when you said George Martin, it made me think of the Beatles' producer. oh goodie, top o' the page!

I am trying to find the afore mentioned COSMO GIRL PIC of Clay, what is it??? I am at a loss, can someone post it please? I love Facebook but I don't know many people's real name on here so if you want to be friends, please send me your name! Love the new thread Fear started! Reality shows?? Oh GAWD - I watch too many of them. Such as........ tonight THE BACHELOR is chosing his bride. Tonight Jason, who is a really cute guy from Seattle with a 4 yr old son, gets bombarded with emotions...... (see preview) because DeAnna, the girl who took him all the way to the top 2 on the Bachelorette last year, makes a surprise appearance because "she made a mistake." They are billing it as "the most emotional finale yet." (of course they always say that!) But I'll be right there watching!!! I can't wait to see what happens.

Hey Facebook Friends!!! Anna - Here's what you do when someone tags you and you want to play along. If the activity is a "Note" click on the title of the note on your home page, read and add comments if you want. To respond return to your Home page and click Notes over on the right side near the top under Applications. This will bring up all the notes you've been tagged in. Copy whatever you need to and then click "Write a New Note" at the top right(ish). Title and type your note. To Tag people there's a little box on the top right side of the note window that says "Tag people in this note - type any name" - when you begin to type, it gives you an auto fill in of your friends' names. Just keep going until you have the names you want filled in. Click the publish button at the bottom. Or the Save Draft if you aren't finished. When you come back the Edit button is at the top of the Draft. When you hit the publish button you get an option for short or long. Pick one. You can always delete it from your profile page and try again, it is still saved in your notes section. Fear - Thanks for adding this section! This is a great idea! (Tell me your name and I'll add you as a friend!) lucky - thanks for the info on groups - I think I might want to do that - it's getting too confusing!

OK - oh wonderful Wiz of K (andre) (I just watched Life on Mars which had a lot of WOO references ) I have a question which has been bugging me for awhile. Now that it's out that Clay is gay and all... What do you think about all those people who insisted on making a couple out of Clay and John D? Do you think there was a possibility of it being true? NOTE on the link posting instructions. Am I the only one who gets a message saying something about allowing scripted windows when you click the link button?

And it's also cool that maybe Reed knows that only Clay's fans would know what is meant by that little phrase?? Wheeee!

FCA!!

Wish I were a fly on the wall for that!!! Hell no, I wanna be right in the room, laughing along!! "Heal, Clay, Heal."

THIS MAN TELLS DIRTY JOKES!??! NO WAY!!!

OK - my turn - I LOVE ALL THESE STORIES!! I had a very busy summer after Clay didn't win AI. Didn't go online, and didn't go to the AI tour. chachadotter#1 was getting married, living with us, had no car, and I had plans to attend the Beatlefest in Cleveland instead of the AI tour. (what a bad call that was!) Two members of another online group were Clay fans, and we started branching off and talking about Clay. I was looking for something to do for his birthday in 03 and came across the Look What Love Has Done site. You could donate in his name and different boards had their banners up there. One in particular really intrigued me - LECHEROUS BROADS FOR CLAY AIKEN. I started checking out their board, and finally figured out how to post on it sometime in December. In January, Clay was supposed to sing at the NCC Basketball game, the SSB and a song at halftime. Otherwise known as Bobblefest, since they were giving out free Clay Bobblehead dolls. ( ) One night about 2 am, I decided to check out the site and see if tix were still available. I ended up buying 2 tickets (they were only $20.00!) and I had no idea how I would get there or where I'd stay! I coerced my frind Mary to drive to Charlotte with me and off we went, to meet 10 or 15 Broads I had never seen before! We had such a great time!! We went to one's house after the game and watched AI clack that I never knew existed until all hours of the night. After that I was doubly hooked and started going to as many concerts as I possibly could! I ended up flying to St Paul and St Louis too. ldyj - I was there at the Hard Rock too! I should look for you in my photos! I love this fandom as much as I love Clay. And this board is amazing, I hardly ever go anywhere else these days!! I've been here for about 2 years now, after a side trip thru the CH. &

That's right! I forgot all about that one! So imagine that on a much larger scale... it was really cool. I mean we were 22 rows back - not bad seats at all but at various points, we felt like we were in the second/third row because the guys were so close! It was way cool and made the experience all that much more fun! that was fabulous!! I was in the first row behind that catwalk when he walked around it. Wooooooooo Hooooooooo!!! I was there, too, with good seats that became amazing seats for the period of time Clay was walking on that divider that wasn't meant to be a catwalk. What a treat that was! The whole concert was just great. After all, Clay became a man that night. Re: bolded part - I'm pretty sure it was only 2 or 3 rows, because I think we were in the 3rd or 4th row.

I remember seeing one person touch Clay's foot, she was on the other side toward the stage. The second time Jerome was right there to prevent it happening again! Here's and here's At about 1:50 in the song, he was right in front of me! There wasn't much clack from that show because of the camera nazis. I had to walk back to my car and put mine away before we went in.

I think what they did differently was there was no host or commentators, and there was a succession of artists and celebrities just walking out and doing the next category. I think it worked well, although I am not an expert because I'm not really sure how they've done it in the past. And... Honest to God - I didn't know Paul was up foor a Grammy either!! It was a coincidence I even turned on the TV when I did, and saw him in the audience. What a treat!! Apparently he released an EP this past year with 4 songs on it, called "Amoeba's Secret," it was recorded live. The one he was nominated for was called "That Was Me," in the category of "Best Male Pop Vocal Performance." I would've loved to have seen him win! Just heard the song for the first time tonight. He was also nominated for "I Saw Her Standing There" (hence his singing it on the show) in the "Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance" category. (I just looked all this up! News to me!) HERE'S THE YOUTUBE OF "I SAW HERE STANDING THERE" from Paul's official youtube channel - you can hear part of all four songs on the EP on this. (and a few others.) It looks like he did what he used to do back in the 70's and just show up some place small and put on a concert. It's AWESOME! ___ As for Clay being on the Grammys sometime, I can totally see it. I hope it comes to pass a few years down the road. {{{{God Bless Australia and everyone in it.}}}}

OT: Calling All McCartney Fans!! The Grammys are on and Paul is there - and he's going to perform!
