That is definitely a favorite, although it is a shame about the original picture being gone. Maybe you should see if Ms. B or someone could get you the old photo...since it has Ralph in it, I am sure Katt fans would not mind when re-watching that episode.

I remember it was "Classical Gas" When Tony and Ralph are listening to Rhonda sing at the recording studio. There is another screencap, but I'll have to look through all of them to find it.

I also wanted to mention that my boss said I could juggle at the elementary schools. It's one of those things I'm really looking forward to doing. I'll include the "GAH" one definitely as it's becoming a fast favorite, and probably other ones such as "Star Wars," "Mission: Impossible" and "Wild, Wild West." "In the Mood" probably some but not as much because kids wouldn't recognize the music. I got interested in juggling during P.E. in third grade, so this might get kids to join in on the fun.

*Humming Texas Juggle Girl* HINT, HINT, HINT. Gee, needs the itals, and it'd be insisting I plan on trying to find the music to it, but so far, I've had no luck. Now, there is the "Mission: Impossible" one I plan to do, where I wear sunglasses and juggle slinkys along with my normal stuff, but it's been a while since I've juggled that routine. Maybe I should add it to the lineup again.

I was never the fan of MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE...it had its moments, but I am more comedy-driven so GET SMART was more my speed...but to each her own.

To sum it up: "M:I" - series had trouble getting into, movie was good. The music, however, is absolutely awesome, especially the end credit music. It's what I juggle to. "GS" - Love the series and TV movie, feature one not so much because only Smart was in it. 99 and the main cast (save Ed Platt, who'd passed away) weren't in it.

The feature movie I saw was a made for TV movie that had everyone in it. As for MI, the movie sucked because Tom Cruise couldn't act his way out of a paper bag...and because the end was similar to the SIXTH SENSE and other movies....incredibly predictable five minutes into the show.

As for MI, the movie sucked because Tom Cruise couldn't act his way out of a paper bag...and because the end was similar to the SIXTH SENSE and other movies....incredibly predictable five minutes into the show. The first one was good, but after Cruise's recent behavior, I've been staying away from some of those movies. I tend to watch more classical ones with actors such as Danny Kaye, Red Skelton and other classic comedians. But, I'll admit some of my favorite music for juggling routines comes from the worst acted movies. "The Wild, Wild West" comes to mind. Movies not good (way too many changes to the original theme) but Bernstein's score was very good.

I've been slacking off a bit in this thread, basically because HD and I've been bantering about the game thread. While I haven't been juggling the past week or so to rest my shoulder, I've been writing another individual fanfic. It's called "The 'Ole Scenario Switcharoo" and in this case, it's a what if Pam wore the suit for a while? The summary is "After Ralph is injured in an accident, the suit takes on a mind of its own, causing problems for Ralph, Bill and Pam." This one's a bit stronger in some areas I usually traverse lightly, but it's still a PG rating. If the site will let me post it, it'll be up by tomorrow. I'll post the link to it in the fanfiction folder. I've also been beta'ing a story as well, so it's kept me busy. Also, I'm going try again with the dog biscuit Andy Warhol nine panel again. I think I can make the dog biscuits look better. Won't post it up until I make it look just right.

So when is the next big juggling debut? I don't know yet, probably soon. The schools are on winter break next week, so it should be sometime after then when they call. As far as elsewhere, I'm looking. I've had people still comment and recognize me as the juggler at the show though, which is fun. When I went to the grocery store the other day, there was a troop of Girl Scouts selling cookies. As I left the store, they asked me if I wanted to buy some, but then the girl said, "I know you, you're the juggler. You have to buy some cookies." I was humbled by the compliment, and talked with them about the show, which they said they enjoyed immensely. After buy a box of cookies (which I was going to do anyway), I said thanks again and left. To me, that was a pretty neat thing, given the size of the town.

When I lived in Jersey, they went to school for so many weeks, then had a week off...it made them go almost year round.

When I lived in Jersey, they went to school for so many weeks, then had a week off...it made them go almost year round. They threatened year-round school in Texas at one time, but people just basically told them no. Sad thing is, I remember when we had school from September through the first week in June. That ended when I was in the fourth grade, so it's been a while since schools started in August here. Thought it was cool to have school start on my birthday, because the first day of school was always fun for me. Now, I sympathize with them because it seems they start Aug. 12 and take lots of little holidays (well, that is until the state changed the start time to a later one).

I got lucky...school started in August but ended in May. Yeah, when they started August school starts, they took out the June week. The last time they had school in June was in 1989. I always liked school, but my favorite classes were history, science and English. For electives, I liked Arts and Crafts, cooking and sewing, and theater arts. School kept me pretty busy, especially in high school. I participated in many events: volleyball, track, cheerleading (as mascot), basketball (manager), one act, speech tournaments, etc. It was a lot of fun, and I came away with several awards and achievements. There are days I go back and it's like I never left, except they built a new high school.

History and English were my forte. I had others, but those were my best. Speech was a piece of cake unsurprisingly. So was Spanish.

History and English were my forte. I had others, but those were my best. Speech was a piece of cake unsurprisingly. So was Spanish. I ended up taking speech because it was subbed for another thing I wanted to take that filled. I learned how to speak clearly and now have fewer problems with stuttering (which I do on occasion). Only one I had trouble with was the one I did on how to be a mime. I had to wear that white makeup and the poor guy who spoke before me had to keep a straight face while he was ironing a shirt (it was a how-to). Since I'll probably get asked, I couldn't do a "How to Juggle" speech because I had already given a speech on juggling and we couldn't talk on a subject twice. Now, speech tournaments, I did the best in events I didn't speak. I won trophies for mime, duet mime and record mime (lip sync). I did win one team trophy for reader's theater, and then placed fifth, sixth and tenth in dance at three separate tourneys.
