Thanks to Lauren for this:<\/p>\n
I wasn’t sure if you got this already but there is a greeting card designed
\nby Jason Behr in support of the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Fund on the
\nYahoo! Greetings website. It is really cute.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThanks to gussywussy55 for this :)<\/p>\n
It was not very complimentary, but in the November 18 th issue , Matt
\nRoush states in an article on FELICITY,” Felicity ought to be a keeper,
\nespecially when you consider the creative decline of WB’s tiresomely
\nself-aware DAWSON’S CREEK, and the stridently campy POPULAR and even
\nROSWELL, once a favorite of mine but now diminished into a ponderous
\njunior-league X-FILES with too much plot and not enough wit”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThanks to Learn_to_Swim for this :)<\/p>\n
I posted this on the boards and thought you all would be interested
\nthat I heard somewhere a while back that Dave Grohl (FF frontman\/guitarist
\nand ex-Nirvana drummer) said that “Foo Fighters” was a government term for
\nUFOs but I wasn’t entirely sure if I remembered that right. I did some
\ndigging and found this:<\/p>\nB. What exactly are “Foo Fighters”?<\/p>\n
Near the end of WWII, the U.S. Air Force patrolling German airspace
\nencountered highly maneuverable balls of light in the area between Hagenau
\nin Alsace-Lorraine and Neustadt an der Weinstrasse in the Rhine
\nValley. These unidentified flying objects came to be referred to as “Foo
\nFighters”, or “Kraut Balls” by those who believed the objects were a
\nsecret German weapon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nFrom a Foo Fighters fan site FAQ
\nhttp:\/\/www.imagebusiness.com\/mikec\/foofaq.txt<\/p>\nI don’t think it was entirely coincidental that the Foo Fighters wound up
\non the soundtrack of Wipeout.<\/p>\nThanks to Richardken1 for sending this in:<\/p>\n

With meters, stations that appeal to younger viewers generally see a spike in their ratings, Greenwood says. TV watchers who were too lazy or indifferent to pick up a pencil and fill out the paper diaries finally are heard.
\nThat means the local UPN, Fox and WB affiliates are beside themselves, since the youth-targeted fare they specialize in was probably getting stiffed by those diligent, older diary-keepers.
\n“We’ve seen dramatic increases on WB and UPN,” Greenwood says. Like the 1,500 percent increase in ratings for KWBQ’s 11 p.m. showing of “Married With Children.” And the 220 percent increase in ratings for the WB series “Roswell.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thanks to Lauren for this: I wasn’t sure if you got this already but there is a greeting card designed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[669,668,666,13,670],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-1225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-roswell","tag-dave-grohl","tag-elizabeth-glaser-pediatric-aids-fund","tag-foo-fighters","tag-jason-behr","tag-kraut-balls"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1225\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1225"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
