I can't believe that you quoted History of the World - Part 1!

I knew you guys were cool (you know in a Disney Geek sorta way), but I never
realized that you were this cool.

History of the World Part I is one of my favorite movies of all Time.
for anyone that doesn't know the bit Scopa did it goes like this, Mel Brooks playing the role of Moses stumbles down from the mountain carrying three tablets, and says something like "Hear me, here me, the lord has given unto you these fifteen,"...(then he drops a tablet that shatters into many pieces)..he pauses and makes sure he has a good hold on the remaining two and resumes..."these TEN commandments for all to obey!"

Though my favorite scene is the scene where Josephus tries to hide with the Eunuchs, though part of the reason I like that scene is that I'm a fan of B.B. King and theres a line from a B.B. King song paraphrased in that scene.

Walt Disney World: A History in Postcards

It's True!!!
Authored by: Mike Newell on Saturday, February 03 2007 @ 10:48 PM CST
LOS ANGELES - The rumors were true. Van Halen will reunite with original singer David Lee Roth for a summer tour of North America.

"I am very excited to get back to the core of what made Van Halen," guitarist Eddie Van Halen said in a statement posted Friday on the band's Web site announcing a 40 city tour. No specific dates have been named.

It will be the first time that Roth performs live with the band since 1984, when he was replaced by Sammy Hagar. A brief reunion with Roth in 1996 resulted in two new songs but no tour.

Original bassist Michael Anthony will not be a part of the reunion. Late last year he was replaced by Eddie Van Halen's 15-year-old son Wolfgang.

On March 12 Van Halen will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at a ceremony in New York.

LOU MONGELLO EXITS MOUSETUNES
Authored by: jonsimon on Monday, February 05 2007 @ 12:16 PM CST
Lou Mongello - I wanted to just say something to all of the PodPeople, whether you be a new listener, or been with us since the very beginning. More than anything, I want to thank each and every one of you for taking the time to listen to the show. I was always amazed that people actually took time out of their busy lives to listen but when people started to call in, write emails and help promote the show, I was truly humbled and flattered. The incredible love so many of you have expressed is appreciated more than you will ever know. It is all because of you that this has been such an incredible, enjoyable ride for me personally. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the Podcast Award we won last year, as it was a testament to your support of our efforts, and is something that still means a great deal to me. MouseTunes gave me an opportunity to meet not only so many incredible listeners, but people in the Disney community that I never would have had the honor to meet otherwise. To be able to have met and spoken with so many people whose work I admire was part of an experience that I will never forget, and one for which I am exceptionally grateful. To our sponsors, I thank you for your continuing support of the show and our efforts, and hope that our listeners enjoyed all of the benefits that you offered to them. I also want to thank the other Disney podcasters, whose encouragement and support of the show has always been sincere and complimentary. In a short amount of time we have all helped create an amazing community centered around a new medium but one that shares a love and passion for all things Disney. Finally, a thanks to Nathan, without whom this all would not have been possible. It’s been a great, fun, and often interesting ride. While this is the end of what has truly been an E-Ticket attraction, I know that there are many more rides to come. Of course, I still have the trivia books, and DisneyWorldTrivia.com, but I also have other projects in the works as well. I would also like to announce that I am starting a new show, which I hope to debut in the coming weeks. Called The WDW Radio Show, it will be Your Walt Disney World Information "Station." This all-new podcast will be found at WDWRadio.com, focus on Walt Disney World and feature some of the same topics I covered here, as well as so much more including news, Rumors, Interviews, Trivia, History, Vacation Planning, Attraction, Dining & Resort Reviews, Contests, Reviews, Special Guests, and more! Again, you can find that at WDWRadio.com, and I hope to see you there.
Now you've done it Len

Well, thanks Len you teased poor Lou Mongello so bad that he quite his Podcast. I hope you are happy. Who will check Nathan Rose now. Oh the Rapture is coming and it's all you fault.
