Chuss" Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2002 09:14:19 -0500 >>Here's the header on the news posting. Why would they be posting from a school in Virginia? Yes Virginia , it MUST be true that they are breaking up! I mean the signs are all there. Their infamous fight over the "Starbuck's vs Seattle's Best" argument. The turmoil over the name of the children's album "No! vs Yes!". The fact that at JF's PAS performances JL dressed up in a Richard Nixon mask and did nothing but heckle the cast. But the killer obviously had to be JL tantrum after Robin "Ono" Goldwasser's insistance on donating "The Stick" to the Anna Nicole Smith museum after Robin became enamored with the former model's life while watching her show. C'mon does it have to spelled out clearer for you!? Get with the program. I mean these rumors have NEVER come up before. ;-) Erik ------------------------------ Message-ID: <1036164152.3dc29c3822935@webmail.xmission.com> Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2002 08:22:32 -0700 From: Chris Nuccitelli Subject: Re: TMBG: Re: TMBG Breaking up?

At the "Gigantic" screening/q&a at the Boston MFA, someone asked, "What's the closest you've come to breaking up?" Linnell replied (jokingly, I presumed) "Right now!" He went on to say that they had never even considered breaking up. But I guess that was before they moved to Virginia and enrolled in an elementary school, where they were forced to use Windows machines. Something very, very traumatic must have happened, to prompt such regression. :) Christine Fernsebner Eslao } christine@zole.org } www.zole.org/sushiesque ------------------------------ End of tmbg-list Digest #59-2 *****************************
