'Preston Neal Jones' self-given "less life left to live" nickname in the "Why Don't They Drink the Beer in Commercials?" thread.'
Jim, you honor me, but I'm afraid I can't remember my nickname or anything else I may have said on that topic. Can you please refresh me?
***
Here you go, PNJ:
A long time ago, when I was still in school, I was watching a local broadcast of "The Late, Late Show" in what they called "the greater Metropolitan area" in and around Manhattan.
-- Preston (Less-Life-Left-to-Live) Jones
I always thought you were British, Preston. Must be your easy charm and sophisticated wit.
Like that snazzy old nickname, too! wink
***
Thanks, Jim. I'm still very touched that you've included me in your pantheon. I'm also still intrigued, wondering what was going on in my mind that day. I well remember the story/reminiscence about the late night beer ad/TV PSA that I told in the post, but my morose monicker, or why I tacked it on to that particular tale, is anybody's guess. Maybe I should discuss this with my shrink at next week's session.
PS: British, eh? My Irish/Welsh DNA feels very flattered. I must buy a monocle.

15. Josh's poorly-timed "Did James Horner hear his Danger Motif as his plane was crashing?"
16. The reply: "Horner's PR people and hangers on might be offended by Josh's post." As if they would wait for this site to load.
17. zippy (remember him?) wondering aloud how FSMers always keep their emotions in check like Vulcans when posting.
18. JSWalsh's Star Wars anti-fanboy diatribe in "The People vs. George Lucas" thread. In fact, I consider it the single greatest post I've ever read here outside of anything Alan Fivehouse related:
"George Lucas keeps saying these are basically children`s movies, and you know who I`ve never heard bitching about these movies? Children, their intended audience. You know who can never STFU about what Lucas does to his own creations? Chronologically-adult males who should have learned long ago that these are entertainments for summer movie nights when they were kids, and maybe occassional revisits over the years, after they have grown up and moved on from childish junkfood diets of escapism and moved on to literature, higher forms of film art, and music, and realistic adult interactions with the world and entertainment products. if my dad ever went on and on because they were colorizing a Flash Gordon short or something, my mom would have had him committed. Nowadays, someone who treats this stuff as the kids`s stuff it is is considered heartless; in the past they`d be considered an ordinary adult of average maturity who has a grip on reality."
19. In the same thread, I also love it that Walsh said I was one of those anti-prequel middle-aged fanboys and another FSMer asked me if that was really true! This place was great before the "clampdown" on humor (cue The Clash).

19. Bruce Marshall asking aloud why another (presumably middle-aged) FSMer was watching "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and then following up his own question by laughing hysterically.
