#1 The Traverse City Film Festival in July will feature classics such as Casablanca on giant inflatable screens.

Why don't he just stand up in front and they can show them on his fat ass...

I'm surprised Mikey is willing to give up his doll for a whole month.

Guess he'll have to settle for self-service.... ;-p

#5 The classic films are available all the time on one or another of the cable channels. What is the benefit of going to Mr. Moore's festival?

#7 According to my eldest son, who wrote a college paper on Mr. Moore, he has spun even his hometown: "... frequent references to his “hometown” of Flint, Michigan (where his first movie, Roger and Me, was based), one wonders if Moore isn’t trying to be something he is not. For Michael Moore is not from Flint, but from Davison, Michigan. While the two towns are not too far apart, when you look at the culture of each city, the discrepancy becomes more apparent. Flint, where Moore says he is from in most interviews and press, is an industrial, working class city where the majority of the factories are located. Davison, however, where Moore grew up and attended high school, is a middle-class suburban area populated primarily by factory managers and other “professionals”. Whereas most of the children of Flint end up working in the factories or becoming part of the 15% unemployment rate, the majority of the children of Davison end up going on to higher education."

Mikey's "higher education" however, seems to have been in la-la land.

#8 I saw him on TV at 2:00 AM last night advertising Ronco's Fat-O-Matic for only $19.95.

#9 Hey, Matt! Where can I get one? Does it add or subtract?

#10 All I know is that Mikey says it helps him maintain his svelte figure. His waist is down to a size 72.

For $29.95 you get the Fat-O-Matic and the Bad-Info-Matic from Moveon, plus (FREE)the Aarrrgh-O-Matic from Howard Dean. Postage and handling are extra. I highly recommend it.

#11 Traverse City.... home of one novel and 1 good movie and 1 lousy remake and I ncan't think of the damn name..... crime drama, bad guy comes back to get the DA that sent 'em up nthe river. First one was filmed on location. I'd live on the UP for a month or two ifn I could afford.

#12 Well, that's better than my hometown of Grand Rapids - the city that gave us DeBarge.
