Superb “Top Secret” reference. “How Silly Can You Get?” takes on a whole new meaning in reference to Saturday night’s performance. Glad you and the missus could make it, and we’re actually working on expanding the Prince repertoire, as well as introducing a few other classic artists into the mix. (Not meaning to sound vain, but there are some of the Billy Joel songs that we could play at the drop of a hat, we’ve practiced / played them so much.)

My goal is to come up with a non-corporately-sponsored blog from Lafayette by week’s end. But inspiration is not striking me on a name. I floated Basic Ind-stinct to AnonComm, and I think that, once the words hit the air, it sounded to neither of us like a good idea. Thoughts from you or your commenters?

And remember: “And I’ll miss you most of all, Scarecrow.”

Dan, what the – ? I have 4 kids too but we still find time for the Irish live. After supervising our own bowling birthday party for Pete, we picked up the newborn baby of a friend (Jenna and I were in need of a little baby fix), and spent the afternoon watching the baby and the Irish. Priorities, my friend. We did head to the SHG-Chatham game when the Irish had the Boilermakers safely put away, but watched what we missed when the game was replayed Sunday morning (gotta love all those channels on digital cable!) What a fabulous football weekend for those of us who are partial to Catholic gridiron – hopefully my football loyalties will cancel out my vote for Barack Obama as far as the Big Guy is concerned. (Plus, I suffered through the Bob Davie era, so I think that alone is my ticket straight to heaven.)

Oh, crap… in my haste to be a smarty-pants I overlooked that Gish beat me to the correct answer.

I believe that character is Hillary Flammond, daughter of Dr. Paul Flammond, from the criminally underrated “Top Secret.”

Nice to see you, too.

Gee thanks, Dan. But I didn’t come up with the title, only the artist. So….???

It is Trio, but apparently the Jesus Lizard did a cover of it. So official admiration to the both of you.

Why am I thinking of Trio when I see that lyric? “Sunday you need love, love, Monday be alone, lone….” Can’t think of the title though.

Google tells me that it is Hillary Flammond. I loved Top Secret as a kid and still think fondly of it today. The only downside was the heavy accents in this Cold War Docu-drama but it is okay as I know a little German. He is sitting right over there.

Skeet surfing, it’s alright.
