  1. arch and Toady, No, the kid (Billy Redden) did not play the banjo, but neither was it a sound over, according to this excerpt... Billy Redden This image is iconic in as much as it is rooted in American folklore, it triggers fears of loss and hopelessness in people. Billy Redden was not actually acting, he was the real thing and was not sufficiently expert in faking the playing of the infamous music sequence convincingly enough; ultimately another youngster was hidden behind his chair, with the task of providing the hand movements on the guitar. Billy Redden is still alive and has made a second film with Tim Burton, Big Fish ...which I got from this site.
  2. ...and all at no cost to you, our valued customer!

  5. A little Googling told me that she was in Bellevue in April of this year, and registered with the US Hang Gliding Association, with a P-1 paragliding certification. Granted that was six months ago. Maybe someone over there at USHGA knows where she is...?
  6. details, details... it's all in the details...
  7. Ducknut just got a damn cute little yellow Lab pup. We had a coupla beers last night, and I got to meet the little pooch afterwards. He's a very excitable little canine. Post a pic, Brad, and get in the fray!

    commuting

    When I lived in southwest Houston 20 years ago, it took 45 minutes (at least) to go 6 miles. That's like 8 miles/hour. After I left there, I promised myself I would never live more than 5 miles from my office. I currently live 2.8 miles from the office, and it's the longest commute I've had in over 11 years. Takes, like, 7 or 8 minutes to get here.
  16. At least now you can rest assured that your device is working properly.
  17. Last week's news, SWR. Stonehead beat you to it here.
  18. funny! But what's puzzling me is why it took you 7 hours to find this thread, conjure up the thought, find the proper images, and PhotoShop the pic. You're slowing down, Dru...

  20. CRACKIMA!!! All the drugs your "somewhat hippie" girlfriend could want at rock bottom prices! And Yakivegas has a "decent" outdoor community, and it's proximal to lots of good climbing and kayaking, and reliable skiing.
  21. I've used that one a time or two...
