I watched five episodes of DAVE'S WORLD this afternoon, the first episodes of the show I have ever seen. It's a mildly pleasant domestic comedy, but the performances are pitched a little high for my taste. Except for the cute, dense stud muffin (Kenny played by Shadoe Stevens) who's more low key, everyone's loud and overplayed.

I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing of interest and nothing in the previews.

I'm am now one tooth less. I guess that means I've lost weight.

I'm so pleased to hear the news from Vivmom. I hope the healing process progresses smoothly.

It's another scorching day in Vienna.

Can we forget the Rrubik's Cube?

I had a Rubik's Cube. That's probably the only fad that I can think of that I took part in. When I was a senior in high school, I took wood shop and actually made a wooden Rubik's Cube! My friend Andrew gave me the middle part of one and I made technical drawings of the pieces and cut and carved them from wood. I didn't paint the sides different colors, though. I just used a natural wood stain. I didn't care how good it turned out (it's FAR from perfect), the idea was just to see if I could do it...and I still have it! If I remember, I'll take a picture tonight.

T.O.D.

The three I remember from my childhood are:

Davey Crockett "coonskin" cap

The Hula Hoop

The Yoyo - I am surprised no one else mentioned this one

Tomovoz · « **Reply #158 on:** January 29, 2009, 01:44:06 PM »

I am not really a "Fad" person I guess. I do remember Davy Crocketts caps, Hula Hoops and Crew Cuts.
I think any "fad" items I've had were given to me by others. DP Colin would think of cell phones as a fad. I wonder if soon-to-be-birthday-boy Ben uses his cell phone when Ant. is still in town.

Coincidence - we were watching an episode of Canadian sitcom "Corner Gas" the other night - Yo-Yos were mentioned. Wasn't there a Yo-Yo at the Inauguration.

Yes, but he flew back to Texas.

I would have thought Penny Farthing bicyles may have been a fad at some stage for the that guy whose posts I don't read. Dunking witches might also have been one of his fads too.

Matt H. · « **Reply #165 on:** January 29, 2009, 01:51:38 PM »

I posted a couple of days ago that I had ordered GOODBYE, MR. CHIPS, FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD, and THE YELLOW ROLLS-ROYCE from Deep Discount and had not even received a shipping notice from them even though the discs came out on Tuesday.

Today they arrived in the mail. Don't know why DD never informed me they were on the way, but I was nevertheless delighted to get them. Now, I get to stare at them in their shrink wrap until such time as I get a free evening to watch one of them. CHIPS will be first, of course, since it's a musical, but it won't be tonight or tomorrow since I'll be weighed down with DAVE'S WORLD for at least two evenings.

But how can you watch it during the game?

Guess I'll write for a little bit and then head back down to watch many more episodes of DAVE'S WORLD.

Thanks to DRs Jane and Edisaurus for the vibes. I know that Jane has moved many times and Edi moved not too long ago. It's enough to make one break the pack rat habit!

Jane, my car is in the driveway here. No point in leaving in VA. I'm glad someone reminded me of the auto train.

You said it was fully packed so I thought maybe you parked it someplace safe in Florida until you move on. I didn't realize you had a driveway in Florida. How long will you be staying in Florida?

There's a game? I thought the Super Bowl was a piece of crockery!

Rubik's Cube - my boyfriend at the time figured out how to do it in less than 2 minutes and he taught me. (I have since forgotten the formula)

There was a nasty manager at work (when I worked at UPS inthe 70's) who was very outspoken about the fact that he felt "girls" (like me) were being promoted to supervisors
because of our gender. He made it quite clear that girls (like me) didn't have the intelligence to do the job.

He called me to his desk one day where he had his Rubiks Cube sitting - I casuallu asked if he would mind if I fiddled with it while he reviewed the repots I brought to him -

He said something along the lines of "I suppose you can't break it".

So I asked "So, the goal is to have each side a single color?"

He rolled his eyes and said "Yes, of course"

So in about a minute and a half I handed it back to him all solved and said 'Like this?"

He stopped giving me a hard time

I believe The Super Bowl has Austrian players involved this year DR BCT (whose posts I don't read).

Does anyone know anything about the Newton Hotel in New York, near Columbia University?
