Someone on the newsgroup came up with the >idea that the guy in the accident is now enjoying the spoils of his >settlement and living the life of the idle (i.e. snobby) rich. This is the most fitting definition, I think. I mean, yes, garcon means waiter here, but if there is a condescending note to it that the guy doesn't know about, it almost goes well with his eating "snails" in the fancy French restaraunt instead of "escargot". If that makes any sense. -Lani O. P.S. Hi, I'm new! Or rather, I was here a long time ago, then I disappeared for a couple of years, and now I'm back.

I had this dream that Tom Green was sitting in a limo (w/camera) w/ the Johns and the Dans, and he was barking "I wuv TMBG" like a small yappy dog. Linnell had a black pillow case over his head so no one would recognize him and was playing misc notes on the accordion, and Flans was wearing a halloween mask, but he was laughing so hard that the mask was falling off. It was a really odd dream. Anyway, have a great holiday weekend, all!

I've always thought of that line as a reference to that "Hush Little Baby" lullaby. You know, "If that mockingbird don't sing, I'm gonna buy you a diamond ring"? That makes it an allusion, which means it's intelligent. -- Relaxing on my hands and knees, relaxing on my face, Nathan DinnerBell@tmbg.org http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Corridor/5447/ ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Message-ID: <19991126192747.78100.qmail@hotmail.com> From: "Buffalo Boy Flatland" Subject: Re: TMBG: The Johns: At a glance Date: Fri, 26 Nov 1999 19:27:47 GMT Ian Power wrote: >John Flansburgh: Flansy is the public face in TMBG.

People keep saying this, and I have yet to find what is so mainstream about Factory Showroom, as compared to the other albums. Is it just because it emphasizes guitar, bass, and drums, or what? -- Relaxing on my hands and knees, relaxing on my face, Nathan DinnerBell@tmbg.org http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Corridor/5447/ ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ From: BirdhouseIYS@aol.com Message-ID: <0.cc3098cb.257053a2@aol.com> Date: Fri, 26 Nov 1999 16:20:34 EST Subject: Re: TMBG: Weird TMBG Dream What are you smokin' before bed? ------------------------------ Message-ID: <000201bf388d$4fb3f080$294e60d1@oemcomputer> From: "PAT J ACQUISTO" Subject: TMBG: Brave New World or Linnell on Morning Becomes Eclectic? Date: Fri, 26 Nov 1999 03:52:45 -0600 Does anyone have the episodes of Brave New World with TMBG on video? or John Linnell on Tuesday's Morning Becomes Eclectic? I'm willing to pay or trade for either. nick ------------------------------ End of tmbg-list Digest #23-27 ******************************
