Born in 1835, Samuel Langhorne Clemens claimed
that he came into the world with Halley’s Comet and he would leave the world
with Halley’s Comet in the sky. One this day in 1910, Clemens did just that,
one day after the return of Halley’s Comet, Mark Twain passed on. Twain was
probably the father of American literature and Walt was a great admirer of his
work. Let’s go to Tom Sawyer Island at The Magic Kingdom and remember Mark
Twain.
On this date in 1970, Nicole Sullivan was born
in Manhattan, New York. She is the voice of Shego in Kim Possible, Princess Mira Nova in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and Franny in Meet the Robinsons. Let’s honor Nicole with a go on Buzz
Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin. I know how to get a maximum score, do you? It
makes my wife crazy.
Quickies:
1828: Noah Webster publishes the first American
dictionary. Okay, sing along: M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E, hey, it is spelling.
1947: Iggy Pop: I’m not sure what is more
amazing, the fact that he still performs or the fact that he still breathes. I
know this is a joke but in his performance rider Iggy lists the following
request, "seven
dwarves ... dressed up as those dwarves out of that marvellous (sic) Walt
Disney film. ... Taller people are acceptable, of course. It's attitude, more than
altitude that's important here." Bravo.
1997:
Gene Roddenberry’s remains were launched into space with the remains of
24 others marking the first space burial. Let’s ride Mission: Space and boldly
go where no man has gone before.
Remember,
your best request is always: waiting for your dreams to come true.
