Dear Aunt Blabby, Those theatrical showings of Fantasia were failures, even the critics, who should have been delighted, were extremely negative. Really sad. Sylkat

Sometimes I wonder when humans discovered that flatulence was, indeed, flammable. That must have been a holy terror. I wonder if the fist butt-fire maker was punished, exiled or sacrificed for being cursed by the spirits. Or was elevated to the shaministry for having strong medicine (flying out their butt.) Bless us, oh rank and fetid one! Bless my child with your holy vapor!

the original master video tape of the first apollo moon landing, is lost and has been lost for decades now. what is seen nowadays is an 8mm moviefilm copy from a video monitor made in australia.

and leopold stokowski was mad at walt disney for the way he "butchered" his music in the movie editing process, so unfortunately for disney he was beseiged with negativity all around. sometimes a masterpiece is never appreciated the first time around.

Dear Aunt Blabby, Happy Birthday, again, and regarding your comment about unappreciated masterpieces, did you know that 'Casablanca' was a flop?

thank you again :) i had no idea casablanca didn't do well. 8O i guess any piece of work that is a stretch [artistically, morally] will take some getting used to before the bulk of the folks to be entertained by it can see the point.
