assistant: I know how you feel. I have just upgraded my 1982 genuine IBM PC to a

now when I push a button, something happens right away!
Absolutely. You may rest assured of the accuracy of every message I
post, with the exception of those followed by smilies. 8B-)
Don't know any witches myself. Did get to know the Tooth Fairy pretty
well though. Her first name is Diana. She was married to a guy named
Rusty, but since they split up we've lost touch.
I thought it was filmed in Kern County, California. YOO HOO, EchoEars,
this is your chance to tell us we're both wrong. You may fire when
ready.
I haven't been able to see this one yet. <sigh> So little time, so many
videotapes.
My favorite just has to be "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". Of course, growing
up in Los Angeles may have colored my attitude just a teeny bit.
We have a long tradition of cats with strange names in our family. If
you get the CAT conference, let me know and I'll tell you about them all
there.

Write your reply.

assistant: Um, "I swear by my tatoo" is the last line of the chorus from "A Whale
of a Tale". Never had nerve enough (read: never got drunk enough) to get
a tatoo. If I did, I'd probably have to go with Jiminy Cricket on my
shoulder. Sometimes I could really use his good advice.
Don't feel too badly, we only started our collection a few months ago. I
think "The Little Mermaid" and "The Lion King" are about tied for best.
Don't waste your money on "Rythms of the Pride Lands", it's got nothing
to do with the film, Elton John, or Hans Zimmer.
The interesting thing about listening to sound track recordings is that
my opinion of the best or most effective songs is very different when
heard without the visuals. I thought "Circle of Life" was a much better
piece than "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" from watching the film. Now
that I have heard them both by themselves, I understand better why the
Academy Award went where it did. (I still don't agree, though.)

SL> Black Sunday????

Write your reply.

assistant: "Black Sunday" is what Disneylanders came to call opening day at the
Park. AKA: "The Day that Everything Went Wrong."
Imagine a live television broadcast with 22 cameras (the previous record
for live TV was 3). Imagine that the asphalt on Main Street was so fresh
that people's shoes stuck to it. Imagine so many people on the Mark
Twain that it almost capsized. Imagine that the gatecrashers outnumbered
the 15,000 invited guests. Imagine one of those cameras (and
microphones) showed Walt cussing out a technician.
Yeah, "Black" weren't hardly the word for it, but it'll have to do.
Needless to say, WDW and the two overseas parks had their share of
problems, but nobody ever said the Company didn't learn from their
mistakes.

Write your reply.

assistant: This is the one where a group of four people - including Haley Mills and
maurice Chevalier - set out to find Captain Grant. He put a note in a
bottle and sent it down river for them to find. They go along the 37 (or
is it 32?) paralell in the mountains looking for him. They are in an
earthquake and ride a block of ice on a terrific and dangerous journey.
Later on in the film they are stranded in a big tree by a sudden flood.
Here they sing "Enjoy It" as they make eggs for breakfast. Maurice
Chevalier's attitude, humor and songs throughout the film make it a
delight. It also has a great storyline from a book by Jules Verne
(20,000 Leagues Under The Sea & Journey To The Center Of The Earth).
The scenery is great. I know it wasn't shot on location (probably), but
it LOOKS like it was. Haley Mills and Maurice Chevalier are charming and
delightful. The songs are memorable. The action is fast and furious. The
humor is natural to the situation and very good.
This film is definately worth the price of a video rental.
Check it out.

Now, I haven't seen the prize vouchers (or whatever) yet, but if we get
to decide when to take the trip, I would like to know when the last
"Main Street Electrical Parade" graces Disneyland. I don't usually go in
the summer (I have been known to say that the only way I would go in the
summer were if it were free) and would much rather go in the
much-less-crowded fall. I'm wondering if the parade will still be there
in October.

only has one full grown male member. So I thought Mufasa was Nala's
