Al in a miniskirt was a sight I'd never thought I'd see, but it made for a funny comic!

--Michael Hervey

 
A miniskirt? No, no, no, no, no... it's an Egyptian kilt, you know, like Ramses. And much like in Scotland, you should never call a kilt a skirt. Why? Who knows? Ask the Scots! They're the ones wearing skirts!

I just wanted to say I loved this week's series. Did you know that in "The Ten Commandments" Fraser Heston (son of Charlton) played the baby Moses? And how many other movies have Charlton Heston, Edward G. Robinson, Yul Brynner, and Vincent Price all together? Also, Yvonne DeCarlo who played Sephora (Moses wife) was better known as Lily Munster.

--Tony

 
We knew about Lilly Munster but not Fraser, Tony. And it's hard to find many movies more fun to watch than "The Ten Commandments." We just want to know, is it wrong that sometimes we root for Ramses just because Yul Brynner is so cool?

Al looks waaaaayyyy too fit for a couch potato.

--Simon

 
What are you saying, Simon? That someone can't watch TV AND be fit? Just do some exercises in front of the tube and you can shape your body even as you rot your brain!

Ugh, tax day. I owe the IRS money. Some economists say that I have been given an interest free loan by the government. I say that I could have used the money to pay for other things.

--Michael

 
You're half right, Michael. Your first set of economists are idiots. The government didn't give you a loan because you are the one who earned that money. If anything, by waiting until now to pay the IRS, you've rightly kept your money for yourself. Although you probably didn't earn a lot of interest on it in the past few months, you can use THAT extra money to pay for other things. Enjoy it! You worked for it!

I have been looking everywhere for the version of Thriller that was danced to at the wedding. You know, with the zombie dance music after the Vincent Price Rap. But I cant find it anywhere. I have even posted a question on the web but no answers. I talked to a DJ and he doesn't know either. I have four kids ranging in age from 18 to 7. They were so inspired by the wedding Thriller that they are learning the Thriller dance to do at the 18 year olds graduation party. But I cant find that version of the song. Can you help me? The party is coming up soon.

--Laura

 
Go buy a DVD, Laura. That's the only place we know of where that music exists. Although, maybe someone should tell Michael that the "dance version" of Thriller is in high demand. From what we understand, he could use the money.
