Odyssey + the Real World

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

I just sent a facebook message that began like this: "Hi, my name is Liz. You may remember me..."

I very much felt like I should end that sentence with "we dated a couple of times last week." :lol:

In a hymnbook that I was looking at the other day there was a hymn and the name of the tune was 'Rathbun'. No kidding. :D

I express similar sentiments to those posted by the user above me. I must have missed a Liz episode...

Replace the "Liz" with "Mitch." And imagine Connie saying the line (which... might not be exactly word-for-word). And think Plan A, but the next letter. ;)

Oh-- thank you. Those are too many inferences for me.

My Sunday school teacher mentioned the 'Q' document on Sunday.
Who do I belong To? Not Earth, Not world, Not Evil, Not mortals, Not wretches, Not horrors

Who do I belong to? Unchanging. Unbreaking. Unfailing. Creator. Immortal. Eternal

Surrender to the sound.

It's real? Or is it still a theory?

I remember when we studied this in my college New Testament class, it reminded me of Odyssey. I also thought of The Search for Whit when the "lost" gospel of Judas was a big deal recently, and when I was reading The Da Vinci Code. AND (The Search for Whit has been influential in my life) I thought about it when I was in Jerusalem, I kept thinking of Whit saying "Meet me at the Eched bus terminal on Joppa street."

I sat next to a guy on a plane that sounded like Marshal Younger! (...at least some of the time). I tried to record his voice on my cell phone three times, but, sadly, he was not very good at "performing" on cue. ;)

I went skiing this weekend (for the first time, it was totally awesome) and every time I got on the lift I thought of Wooton's friend who doesn't have knees.

Really? Whenever I go on the ski lift I think of Wooton's tricycle incident. It kind of puts me on edge when I'm on it. :anxious:

A couple weeks ago, I had to dig my car out of the snow, and I had virtually no shovels/etc. to help me out. Every time I think of how to describe how unpleasant that was, I think of Cal's description of the Novacom show Kickboxing Kids (from "Nova Rising"): "12-year-olds fight the forces of evil with only their hands, their feet, and their witty repartee." \:D/

I know people who have the last names Cunningham and Shultz. Unfortunately, the Cunninghams are rude and jerky and so there's no way that I would be able to convince my Shultz friend to marry one of them. :(

Real world and Town of Odyssey connection: Lifehacker recently ran an article about "Video game desktop wallpapers," and they showed a lot of Mario ones. I instantly thought of Top Crusader!

The biographical information for the author John Milton stated the fact that a book that influenced Milton was written by an Arthur Dent!
Arthur Dent wrote:Novacom's going to take over the world. Would you like a muffin?
