An odd thought about the moderators.
This thought just occurred to me.
The moderators are Rich, Alan, and Dale.
Wasn't Alan-a-Dale a character in the ballads of Robin Hood, the guy who stole from the Rich to give to the poor?

Actually, Alan-a-Dale was a rooster, Robin Hood was a fox.emmline wrote:Alan a-Dale, or however you spell it, was the minstrel in the group. Hmmm...he who brought music to the merry men...played by a fox in the Disney cartoon version.

You're so right. Maid Marian was a fox too, right?xcaliburgirl wrote:Actually, Alan-a-Dale was a rooster, Robin Hood was a fox.emmline wrote:Alan a-Dale, or however you spell it, was the minstrel in the group.

There was only one decent Robin Hood movie:
The only one where Robin actually has a Brittish accent!

One of our family's all time faves... I have been disappointed to not see much more of Cary Elwes... he's quite a good and funny actor. He was "Wesley" in the "Princess Bride", and the evil uncle in the new "Ella Enchanted".glauber wrote:There was only one decent Robin Hood movie:The only one where Robin actually has a Brittish accent!
I thought he and Val Kilmer would make a good pair for off beat comedy/adventure/swashbuckler/thriller... they look enough alike to be believable as brothers, and Kilmer has good comedy timing as well. He was great as the villian/hero in "Willow"

Re: An odd thought about the moderators.
Indeed, and a musician as well... and I have to agree. You opned with, "An odd thought about the moderators"... I always have thought the moderators a bit odd. (said in the most loving and complementary way possible, )Walden wrote:This thought just occurred to me.

For some reason he's been doing bad guys. Remember "Liar Liar"?anniemcu wrote:One of our family's all time faves... I have been disappointed to not see much more of Cary Elwes...
(with Maura Tierney!)
He was in the "Jungle Book" (cartoon), "Pentagon Wars", "Kiss the Girls", "Quest for Camelot" (cartoon) and some other junk.

Another piece of useless trivia: the music for the song "Men in Tights" appeared before in Mel Brook's "History of the World Part I", as the theme for the movie "Jews in Space".

Wow! I think with this piece of trivia, Glauber rivals Walden for the award of having too much time on their hands.glauber wrote:Another piece of useless trivia: the music for the song "Men in Tights" appeared before in Mel Brook's "History of the World Part I", as the theme for the movie "Jews in Space".
