hwatkins Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Are you insinuating that Indy folks don't have class? [] Insinuation was not my objective []. I am in a bit of a conundrum - while I am not so sure of the 'class' of the Indy folks I like them anyway. Besides, who wouldn't like that avatar with the cute smiling little Felix.... I be bushed - 3.5 hours of using a pick axe and shovel and I (with much gratitude to the lovely wife for helping) have at least gotten the steep portion of the driveway done with a turn around so I can negotiate the flatter icy stuff. I am not as accustomed to manual labor - I quite often was thinking that the 4 wheel drive vehicle would suffice and the heck with having a second vehicle available.... I can only venture a guess as to which portions of my body will hurt the most tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted December 2, 2006 Moderators Share Posted December 2, 2006 The most famous Arkansasan (in the long run) is Patrick Cleburne. The most famous Hoosier is John Dillinger. Hmm... I'd have to go with James Dean for the most famous Hoosier. [] I'm a close second, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 The diplomate in me says find some common ground. Hmmm. Roy Fishes. Al lvies in Salisbury, Md hard by the Delaware Eastern Shore, probably dipped a line or two. I'm thinking a "Fishin Summit". Should work. As a fisherman and a professional liar, I'm offering my good name as a judge and an adjuticator. It's Spring in Latin America right now and the fish are biting. Are you? Thebes, really putting this one in the gutter and out for blood aren't you? We all saw The Godfather Part 2. Those fishing trips are ugly. Poor Fredo..

garyrc Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Michael, I think Bill Peet was much more of a story person than an animator, but roles were not super tightly defined at Disney. He contributed to the stories, scripts, storyboards of many great Disney films for decades, and was the main story guy on a couple of the later ones during Walt's lifetime [Dalmatians, Sword in the Stone -- they were both based on pre-existing stories (novels)]. He and Walt had their ups and downs, respected one another's talent on several levels, but ..... They often got along like Al and Trey, and finally split. The new book mentioned on this form re: Fantasound (early, creatively used stereo), is pretty good [Walt Disney - the Triumph of the American Imagination], but skimps royally on Fantasound. It produces a balanced picture of Uncle Walt, a diamond in the rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBrennan Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 The fame of Dillinger will outlast them all. Americans love their outlaws, especially bold, folksy country boys like Dillinger. He was a genuine nice guy though his pals Harry Pierpont and Lester Gillis (Baby Face Nelson) weren't. I'm probably the only person on this forum who has a book on Little Turtle or even knows who he was. I'm surprised the important Civil War figure Jefferson Davis wasn't on the list, he was a Hoosier.

thebes Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Now gentlemen, it was an earnest exposition of an ongoingundertaking to bring about world peace. Start small and work yourway up. I suspect once they got past theposturing and ego struts they would find more commonality than discord.Common ground is that they both love to tinker, play with esotericgear, advance the scientific envelope and strive for audio nervosa. Plus who ever heard of fishin without beer, the ultimate male bonding lubricant. Who knows, I may even pull my line out the water thus enabling them to actually catch a fish or two. Afterall the two most powerful players in the real first world war, theNapoleonic Wars they are called now, met in person on a barge, on thewater, and concluded a peace treaty. I'm talking Bonaparte andTsar Nicholas II. Of course it didn't last, but since the Britisharen't around to muck things up, it could work. SureI am funnin a bit but I'm also earnest in my expressin of good willtowards both and I'd certainly like to see BEC back here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEC Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I am not answering for Trey, but I had my son who has been a moderator of a chat forum before look at what happened to Al. He said it looked like a "gag" function that he had on the chat. That lets a moderator temporarily make a members posts invisible to all except the "gagged" member and the moderator. May be a new feature of this forum's software and Trey may have accidently applied it to Al while trying to remove one of Al's posts which contained a personal attack. It is one step less than "banning". Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
