The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Anyway ... just wanted to say ma'am - I like the little baby pic update thingee in your sig. My friend's wife has a site with a similar style update of things. Saves a lot of repetitive questions, I guess, eh?

Why thank you.

I caught the Lurch joke, I just didn't comment on it.

We had to read Les Miz my freshman year of high school. The big joke was "We'd be 'Less Miserable' if we didn't have to read this."

Being a bit more mature now, I have a better appreciation for it.

I've been wanting to read some of the classic lit I missed in my formal education. I've got a copy of Scarlet Pimpernel around here somewhere I've been meaning to read. The only version I'm familiar with is Daffy Duck's "Scarlet Pumpernickle." I'm hoping the original has a bit more substance.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I only went to one semester of college. I learned almost nothing in high school. It wasn't until after I got out of the schooling that I really began to take an interest in the "classics" per se.

I don't know if I have read the Scarlet Pimpernel. I remember seeing an old 1930-40 movie or so, I think.... Hmm. I can't remember right now.

I like the 1982 version of the movie. A lot. We used to watch it in our history class when the teacher wanted a "lazy day". LOL Never read the book though.

Oyy ... I VAGUELY remember that one too ... didn't they put it on TV or something?

I had to watch Hoffman's "Death of a Salesman" a few times. That got old real quick.

Done with Les Miz. Switched to Ragtime.

Anyone read the Doctorow novel? I'm thinking I want to. Lots of very cool stuff in a historical context.

I remember that one very, very vaguely. :\

Hmm. Must not have left much of an impression.

Do you remember anything from high school that DID leave an impression - even a BIG impression on you that was presented or taught in the classes?

I can remember only a few. Maybe even two or less. And they were both Shakespeare. One of them was life-changing, so I guess it kinda made up for the other "blah-zay" stuff....

Hmmm...two thousand posts to catch Aurora. I need to get busy.

Doctor Ow??? Hmm. No. That it's real title, or a nickname maybe?

At least you didn't promise to eat your own head if you did catch her post wise. :\
