The Town of Odyssey

North by Northwest

I love all things L.M. Montgomery! The Anne books are great, and I like the movies too. I resisted seeing them for a long time, because the second two veer away from the books, especially the third one, but I discovered that I liked the movies, too, even though there are serious discrepencies. The B...

I don't have a favourite, because I haven't read any in a few years, but I used to enjoy reading them! It never developed into an obsession, but I did enjoy the Captain's interesting phrases and the general humourous/mystery nature of the books. I never saw any of the movies, though.

I would love to go in the IS and see some historical events that are debated. I know the the IS is kind of Whit's vresion of events, but it would be cool to see what "really" happened for so many disputed situations. Something medieval would be cool too.

Since all five of us in my family are *ahem* challenged when it comes to singing (at least if we want to be around other people) the "Are you choking?" line gets used a lot, as well as some other ones that were previously mentioned, like, "Go stick your head in the snow - that's my mo...

I think that I was around eight or nine - I'm not sure. It was a long time ago, and I have a bad memory, so I don't know whether I heard the tapes or saw the movies first.

I'm not totally sure...it's been around ten glorious years. My first set was the tenth one, Other Times, Other Places, but I'm not sure if it had just come out then or not

I was Catspaw on the TH and I'm Catspaw here. It gets too confusing if lots of people change their names, because then you don't know who people are!

I'm not surprised that the numbers are so high, because there's been hype at the TH for at least a week, and lots of people go to the SF and would see what the totally, awesomely cool board that was starting. Thanks, Shadowpaw!

I don't care what brand, as long as it's minty. I don't like normal-tasting toothpaste - it must be miny fresh to suit my tastebuds!

I enjoy my job as a cemetary curator. It's peaceful, not many people bother me, and I make $28! I have a question about the education thing: Do they build on each otehr? Would I need to get my high school diploma, and then do another level of education, or could you just take the higher training wit...

That Google Gulp thing is great! That is so funny! It's amazing how much time and effort is put into jokes!

I have paid a lot of attention to the NHL in the past, though within in the last few years I haven't really paid much attention to it. I still follow the AHL team in my area, though. I've never played hockey, though. I don't really play any sports, but my favourite one to watch is hockey.

Happy April Fool's Day, everyone! Does anybody have any plans to play tricks on their friends or family? If you have a funny related story, we want to hear it! (I'm hoping desparately that my brother hasn't been spending his day plotting nasty things for me when I get home!) As a sidenote, I love th...

*Gasp* Can it really be you, my good relative? Is it really the Eugene Blackgaard? I am so thrilled that you have come to the Town of Odyssey, EB! I am sure that we will have the most marvelous time here. And how has Uncle Reggie been doing lately? Would you like a spot of tea while we chat?

My understanding is that the first movie is based on the first book, but the second movie isn't based on the books. There are more than two books - I don't know how many.

EK got lots of posts because he was one of the first to join and probably stayed up half the night having fun on here while most people are sleeping!

At midnight, this board opened. (Well, 1 a.m. in my time zone, which is why I waited until morning to join). You came in on the first day, Screech - you're not far behind.

I like Han Solo. Han Solo is cool. Yay for Han Solo! Han Solo is way cool. I'm much more familiar with the original trilogy than the newer ones, but I'm sure that episode 3 will be decent. The trailer looked cool, anyway. Of course, I doubt that it could live up to anything with Harrison Ford in it....

I really enjoyed both movies, but I only read the first book. I was quite unimpressed with the book that I read. I thought the content of the movie was better. The characters seemed nicer inthe movies. The moral values in the movies, while not always stellar, were better than those in the books. I r...
