They are quite sweet, Kayeby . I remember hearing him say that line about the "little cart thingies" in some interview and thinking it was rather adorable.

Interesting bit of trivia. Quincy hated the song, "Billie Jean," and wanted to keep it off the Thriller album. It caused a huge rift between him and Michael. Qunicy thought it sucked and would drag down the quality of the rest of the album. MJ put his foot down and got it onto the album. It ended up being a minor hit. I think they made a video out of it too.

Well there was much more than "just an accusation," if the cops went to court they believed they had a case. The thing one needs to really ask yourself is, if this man wasn't Michael Jackson would YOU have the same opinion? You don't need to waste time answering in this forum, but you should be honest with yourself. Jackson had a bunch of hits, but so did his sister. Madonna, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey also...

Fried pecan pie.

Quote: This was fried on a grill, not deep-fried. Considered this was Louisiana this might have been a health food restaurant. Pecan pie grilled in butter is their version of "heart healthy" food.

Look over titles, "Why the World Didn't End Last Tuesday" might fit.

I'm a male and I love cold pizza. In fact, I like it better the next day when it's been refrigerated overnight. I've been told by two female friends now that cold pizza is a guy thing. They claim that women do not like and will not eat cold pizza. So what's the deal? Is it a gender thing? footnote: this was my best guess for the appropriate forum. Feel free to move it...

I was flipping through The New York Times movie reviews a week or so ago and realized that I've never seen they or any other American reviewer give a foreign movie a bad review. What accounts for this? Do the foreign films that make it to the U.S. get here because they're that good? Is there a certain high-brow elitism that foreign flicks are more cultured and artistic? I've seen a ...

Recently I saw some goat cheese at the supermarket. Now, I am a little skeptical, seeing how goats have a bad rap for being a garbage disposal on legs. So any experience with cooking goat cheese?

Today is the first day of the all new SyFy Channel , with their new catchphrase, "Imagine Greater". Yeah, I am imagining a greater science fiction channel. If it wasn't for Eureka and the new Warehouse 13, which I'm hoping will be something worth watching, I wouldn't even tune to you anymore.

Ther are a lot of people who will throw out the term pedophile linked to Michael Jackson's name as if it was a foregone conclusion. However, he clearly was never convicted of such a thing, but he did pay some people off. So I amjust wondering how much of the perception is based on facts and how much of it is based on the repeated meme. I kno, for example that Michael liked to say he shared...

A story about it here: Durian Dilemma: Would I Be Bold Enough to Eat Thailand's Exotic Fruit? Well, I've done better than the wimpy missionary. I actually have tried it, and I hate it, hate it, hate it. You will run across farangs ( Westerners) over here who will claim they love it, but I've always looked at them suspiciously and considered them posers. The stuff is evil. Smells like ...

My search-fu is weak, apparently -- I seem to recall a thread some time back (maybe a year or so ago?) discussing the differences between movie fights and real fights, and now, when I want to refer to it, I can't find it. So, failing that, I'm starting over. How do fights in the movies differ from real fights? (Aside from hitting someone in the jaw/face/head being a bad idea because there's...

I was really excited to see this movie, Johnny Depp, Michael Mann, 1930's gangsters. What more could one want? Well in this movie, A LOT. The characters all seemed so flat, we had absolutely zero idea what motivates them. While the movie is based almost exclusively on John Dillinger, it tries to weave in other gangsters from the era, but they seem so tacked on, as if the whole era revolved...

The MJ threads made me wonder--I know that in the 80s, MJ was IT and Thriller was the album to have...but do we have an equivalent of that today? I've pretty much stopped paying attention, more due to apathy than genuine hatred. Plus, most of my favorite radio stations are under now, and there's no music played on TV. Are there any artists that are popular among almost everyone, or are ...

Ever been left puzzled by a plot line in TOS? This is NOT about technical stuff or physics, but plot and characterizations. Also, I am less than interested in any other ST variation (unless you want to talk the first 6 movies), so stick with TOS, please! I am re-re-rewatching these online and I started thinking about the episode, "Wink of an Eye". I am puzzled by what follows below: ...

For me , it's John Denver . I know. He had a turbulent private life, didn't he? But onstage, he always made sure he gave me the best show he could, and had I ever been dissatisfied and could let him know, I believe he would have given me my money back. Folks say me and John look alike, and I take that as a compliment, even though I am nowhere near the musician/songwriter he was....

I am at work and the easy listening station just played Hello by Lionel Ritchie. That song creeps me out. I mean, it's not a creepy song like Thriller or even Somebody's Watching Me or whatever. Maybe it's the music video that creeps me out: grown adult, chasing around the school and making crank calls to a blind high schooler... creepy to me. (And how well would it have gone over if a ...

Will 3-D movies really draw people back from DVD's ? That's the hope of theaters investing in expensive new equipment. Will it go mainstream, with name stars and normal plots instead of just cartoons and ones picked to show off depth? Will they be cheap and easy enough to film that indie productions will try them? Will movie DVD's get the same capabilities? Perhaps released in game machine ...

" The Logical Song" by Supertramp and "Thong Song" by Sisqo are two examples. Note that I'm not interested in unofficial titles like "The Hey Song" for Gary Glitter's "Rock & Roll Part 2".

This is from TMZ which broke the story of Jackson's death. Quote: We've learned Michael Jackson was not the biological father of any of his children. And Debbie Rowe is not the biological mother of the two kids she bore for Michael. All three children were conceived in vitro -- outside the womb. Multiple sources deeply connected to the births tell us Michael...
