Yeah, watch that sound.

One of the catchier tunes from Grease was on the radio, and without concious thought, I began to sing along. I was fine doing the Olivia Newton John parts, but the transition to Travolta's key did bad things to my vocal system. At the costume shop, we like Grease better. We rent and sell vast numbers of poodle skirts. Star Wars, well, not much. Since Episode II came out, we've had two calls for Star Wars related costumes: a Leia and a Luke. For actualy watching, Star Wars. But not Episode II. The Flash Gordon* movie with the Queen soundtrack is better than Episode II, even if you don't count the soundtrack. Ishtar is better than Episode II. Plan 9 From Outer Space ... no, now I'm exagerating. ---------------------------------------- Have I told the Flash GOrdon story? ---- Sometime you the windshield, sometime you the bug, sometime you the driver you turn on the windshield washer you keep going.

He was at some kind of swimming event at the East Side Boy's Club in NYC. A couple of us followed him after he left, walking to the nearest subway station at 14th Street and First Avenue. At the time, it was amazing that he used the subway. Alex "Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something." -- last words of Pancho Villa (1877-1923)

I suspect that few will associate [link\|http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hc&id=1800022160&cf=biog&intl=us\| Max] with Ming.. most with Ingmar Bergman flicks [12!] - but his repertoire is astounding: If he hasn't, he should write a book. Ming's daughter? How about Liv Ullman.. and a few dozen others. Ashton

Yep, I have that very dialogue and then the music on one of my favorite cassette tapes, Ballads For An Owl (and I consider it a story, thus a ballad). Love it!!!

Klytus: An obscure body in the SK system, your majesty. The inhabitants refer to it as the planet "Earth". Ming: How peaceful it looks...
