Has anybody seen the ad for the movie "Chernobyl Diaries"? If I'm not mistaken, it sounds like Corey Burton at the end saying, "Chernobyl Diaries. Rated R."

My mom's temporarily in a nursing home while she recovers from surgery and I'm visiting her this week. Yesterday we were talking about her bruises--she's always bruised easily. Without really thinking I blurted out

"You want me to tell you how they beat me with rubber hoses at night?"
"They do not!"
"Come here and let me show you my bruises."

Ahahahaha. My brother and I were laughing hysterically and my mom says "Is that from Adventures in Odyssey?"

[Catspaw]

Mrs Jason Whittaker, it sounds like your mom knows you and your brother well to guess the source of your amusement! That's a great story. I hope your mom recovers quickly.

Did anyone see last night's America's Got Talent season premiere, with Howard Stern (and the other judges) stuck in an elevator?

I think you're right. I just watched a youtube video of one of the TV spots.

On another note, I sliced my finger on a rotary cutter a couple weeks ago--had to go to the emergency room and get stitches. I couldn't help remembering Connie cutting her finger in It's a Wrap. "He makes my finger hurt." "You think the two bandages look silly, don't you?"

Sometimes, I am certain that I am Connie.

Today, the pest control guy came (because we're being invaded by ants) and talked about using natural sprays that aren't harsh chemicals, and he said that the Environmental Detection Agency approved of it so much it exempted it from something that other sprays are subject to; (I forget what though).
and yesterday, while the wranglers were driving to the trail ride site, someone mentioned their friend living in Bozeman Montana.

I saw Jeff Ellison working at In-N-Out a little while ago.

Doesn't get much more "real world" than that.

Have you ever been randomly reminded of AIO? For instance, you hear someone say "The best is yet to come", and you want to share it with everyone on here but fit doesn't quite fit in the "Random Things That Remind You Of The ToO"topic? Well, this is the place for that! So tell me about when you've been randomly reminded of AIO!

[Leonard Meltsner]

Well... that would be everything. I could make a lengthy post of everything in the last week that's randomly reminded me of Odyssey. The first thing that comes to mind is the mission trip this last weekend, when our pastor said "What does servanthood mean to you?" and my sister whispered "Carrying people's stuff", and we both burst out laughing.

[Jesus' Princess]

Haha, we were driving through Montana a few weeks ago, and we went through Bozeman and stopped at a Costco there. While we were in the store, my brother tripped and fell, and we both started quoting Alex and Cal's lines from Snow Day, ......Bozeman Montana

I'm going to Florida with my family in a few weeks, and our first plane will land at the O'Hare airport in Chicago. So I told my dad that while we are there he should be careful to make sure that his laptop doesn't get switched an identical laptop that contains government secrets. He had no idea what I was talking about.

[Leonard Meltsner]

You know, I'm actually surprised Whit's own laptop didn't already contain government secrets. He still has full security clearance and all.

My teacher was talking about forms of media and he mentioned how they had radio shows before TV shows. A kid asked if "there were any radio shows still around". I was just sitting there with this grin and was like "totally". ^_^

Today in Art History class, we learned about a few Islamic Mosques, one of which was located in Cordoba, Spain. This city name of course reminded me of Inspector Cordoba in The Cross of Cortez

[Mrs Jason Whittaker]

One day last week in the office, one of my co-workers was trying to explain to another employee how to put the phone on hold: "Push the red button!"

And I started wondering what kind of Imagination Station adventure we might have if they did indeed push the red button.

My friend was talking about buying a new suit and as soon as he walked away his sister started discussing colors and how he should get a green tux- Wooton Basset

My parents were watching The Partridge Family today.

The other day I turned down an offer of seconds on cake and, for some reason, thought "if you keep sending me to all these lunches and brunches, I'm gonna lose my girlish figure".
