Well I don't know if this is the first usage, but the most famous usage is from the movie "On The Waterfront" in which Marlon Brando states that he "Coulda been a contender," but instead has a one way ticket to Palookaville (meaning nowhere). This is one of the most famous lines in American Cinema, so it is no surprise to find many many references to it. A.J. - -- Mariaweb last updated 5/13/99. See Maria Louise in all her... erm... Glory?

There actually *is* a connection between Fruvous and Michael Moore: last year when they were playing in NYC (three nights in Nov. '97 at the Mercury Lounge--OK, 1.5 years ago), Dave and I both happened to be accosted on the street by someone recruiting people to be in the audience of the pilot for "The Michael Moore Show," a show which fortunately never made it onto the Fox lineup! It was pretty random, though, to have seen them play Friday and Saturday nights and have plans to go back and see them Sunday night, and run into Dave on Sunday afternoon way across town from where they were playing! And then they sat us next to each other, too...very strange...I guess NYC really is just a small town.

Hallelujah! Another Cats-hater! Andrew Lloyd Webber's music is the only known music to make me run screaming from a room. My father *loves* Cats and can't understand why I don't want to listen to it when I happen to be in his car (a circumstance which I avoid like the plague!). I've never seen or heard Rent; I tend to avoid musicals.

I guess I'm a little more abstract in my lyrics-liking palate. Here's the entire lyric of Morphine's Empty Box from Like Swimming. Morphine is really excellent. Check out dem metaphors! Tore open a package it was an empty box No meaning to me just an empty box Sender was a woman Sender was a woman She said she's sending me everything that I I I never gave her before She said fill it up and send it back Fill it up and send it back So I send her back an empty box A big mistake sent back an empty box Half in the shadows half in the husky moonlight And half insane just a sound I crossed into a valley a valley so dark That when I look back I can't see where I begin I can't see my hands I don't even know if my eyes are open In the morning I was by the sea And I swam out as far as I could swim Until I was too tired to swim anymore And then I floated and tried to get my strength back And then an empty box came floating by An empty box and I crawled inside Half in the shadows half in the husky moonlight And half insane just a sound in the night Half in the shadows half in the husky moonlight And half insane just a sound The whole empty box metaphor is incredible to me. - Chad ------------------------------ Date: 20 May 1999 11:23:37 -0400 From: brian tivol Subject: Re: Hold up (was**itinerary**) Mindy J Munson writes: > Am I to believe that Moxy is actually coming to Va beach????????? > Should I piss my pants now or later?

We're glad you like our boys, but you really need to know some more about their tunes to fit in just right around here. Fortunately, do I have the knowledge supplement for you! Checkout Monkees.com[1] (MDC for those in the know). And don't just checkout the words to Daydream Believer either, okay? Or Stepping Stone. Or Last Train to Clarksville. You really need to get some more albums. You don't know the Monkees really until you've heard the magic that is Zor and Zam. Or watched Head everyday for 6 weeks. Oh yeah. And don't get stuck on Davey either. We all know Peter Tork is the man with the talent in the band. Without a solid bass player where would the monkees have been? Nowhere at all. Now if they only could have traded Mike Nesmith for a better left winger they could have gone all the way to the cup! Beware the Frodis! - Chad (joking of course) [1] Lol.

Jessica Baskin ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 May 1999 15:28:38 GMT From: wahrend@my-dejanews.com Subject: Re: Jian in the Toronto Star I have to say my peace on this. I've been to a number of sporting events and I have to say that hockey fans (well the true hockey fans) are the best amongst all professional sports. When you go to a game, of course you root for your team, what would be the point otherwise? Of course you taunt the other team's fans, they had the audacity to go into your place and root for someone other than the home team. Does that give you the right to give someone a beer bath, of course not (I hope it was unintentional). And this isn't just an american thing (for those of you who equate american fans == roudy/rude fans), I was taunted by Habs fans at a Sabres game once. I was also jibed unmercifully by Stars fans when I saw the Buffalo/Dallas game. Its kind of interesting when you're the only person in your section that stands up and cheers when your team scores or when you yell "You're all doomed, we have the lord of darkness on our side, you may win, but we'll have your souls!", which in hindsight probably wasn't the best thing to yell in the bible belt. But, after that game was over (and buffalo had lost, sadly) the stars fans a couple of rows up offered to buy me drinks and try to convert me to their religion (lol, no, they thought I might need some consoling.. ). Its just a game, these things are a part of it. Some people take it a bit far, but I'm not going to stop enjoying hockey because of idiots (like the fox glowing puck idea or just having hockey on fox in general or removing fighting or the idiotic two referee system or the goofing around with the schedule so that I have no idea when the sabres are on, etc etc......).
