Louisville, KY.  

I used to take the Q33 from my neighborhood to get to Flushing, then the 7 train (aka "the Orient Express") to get to the city.  My apartment in College Point overlooked the water and was directly across from LaGuardia airport.  I had a great view of LaGuardia and Shea Stadium.  There was a little pizza joint in College Point called the Doo Wop Pizza Shop that had great meatball subs.

I'd like to add that I felt really welcomed to the site when Hairspray greeted me and apologized for the mean person who posted a kind of ominous warning in response to my hello message.  (I can't remember the poster or what he/she said -- but Hairspray deleted it, which also made me feel better).  So, thanks, Hairspray!  And thanks to the other members who said hello.  You've inspired me to greet the newbies arriving after me.

Ok Howard

Here is the explanation, best I can give it.

In Peanuts, Lucy occasionally describes herself as a “FussBudget” – by way of justifying how proud she is of the fact she is crabby.

Her surname (and that of Linus, and Rerun) is Van Pelt.

So that is how that name came about.

To use it for Charlie Brown or Linus or Woodstock would not seem right, as they were all particularly mellow characters…..

There !  That is the best explanation I can give !

Well Jack, you should just go look at our pictures in the picture threads.... ;) ;D

Or go to the game board and dig down real far till you find Queen Amen Ra's original 'story thread' and read it thru. That might help. Then again, it might confuse you further...

Or you could go ask Painted Jaguar...

Can't curl but can swin - slow solid that's him
Curls up but can't swim - stickly prickly that's him...

How's my new avatar? "Evil Flying Teapot"
Which I found during my research of bad cartoons from today.  :-X

If you don't like it, I'll be willing to change it back to the Whitesnake video picture.

BTW, there will be more music video caps in the future.  :D

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO...Don't say that!!!!!! Keep your Britishness and stay! I wish I had moved there instead of my husband moving here to be with me. But since he made his choice, I vowed that, even though I took the boy out of England, I would NEVER take England out of the boy! OK, I live in Canada, not the US, but...close enough! ;D

I know a lot of Brits in Canada, my neighbour who who has lived in Canada for at least 30 years. His accent isn't as crisp as a fresh outa England accent but it's still recognizable.

There was a survey in England about which accent was the most sexiest - The Birmingham accent was the lowest followed by Newcastle I think . . .

I see what you're saying Vile. Britain is fine to some degree but it has the commercial appeal of a wet sponge. If all the Royal Family kicked the bucket, as much as I can't stand them, there would be no reason for a tourist to come over.

Yeah I'll be getting married eventually, Howard. I suppose it's like going to the dentist, you get butterflies in your stomach until the day and then you're glad it's over.  :)

Cheers Howard. I don't plan to get married for at least another two years (with a bit of luck). My girlfriend was trying to rush things and I was feeling uneasy about the whole thing so I told her to slow things down a bit - At least give me time to buy the engagement ring!  :-/  :D

this is actually a question for fuss, manda, and BMG:

i've always wondered: why do you put a space between the last word of a sentence and an exclaimation point?  like:

"hi !" instead of "hi!"

is it an australian thing?  i'm not trying to criticize you, i'm just wondering. :)

well, the "odd socks" part comes from my old habit of not matching socks.  (which recently, i seem to have kicked...)  and the "x" comes from my other online alias, "doxers the great."

btw howard: i like your avatar. :)  that was a good movie.

Wow !  A question for Fuss (a third of a question anyway !)  :D

I don't think it is particularly an Australian thing, I do it because I find it much more pleasing to the eye.

With exclamation marks and question marks I have always done that, because otherwise they look like they are part of the word, and I don't know, I just find it annoying  8)

But I was never taught to do it, and I hadn't even noticed that Manda and BMG did it either !

Call it a foible !  I dunno what Manda and BMG's excuse is though !  :P :P :P

Is it just me, or does Kylie Minogue have sort of a sinister look on her face as she's aged?  ???

I suspect she's had plastic surgery.  Her eyebrow line does not look natural, nor does the rest of her face.  :-/

The pic on the avatar is  definately Toni Basil.  8) Not Pat Benatar, though she looked good too.

Though both might be twins.
