Julie London was fantastic as Nurse Dixie. I wanted to be a nurse for awhile because of her.... - Abby Martin

the acting was all-around pretty solid (even more surprising given that some of the regular characters were firemen In Real Life). the show has aged amazingly well, with the possible exception of Brackett's sideburns. - Karim

Good show, though, I wouldn't rank it quite so high - Michael W. May via twhirl

loved that show. took some pictures of the actual station recently (not too far from my place in LA), which was renamed in honor of the show's producer. see: http://flickr.com/photos/zigza... - Anthony Citrano

Speak ill of him when he is alive if you wish but there is nothing to be gained by speaking ill of the dead. There are plenty of racists still alive you can comment on. Pretty low-life to post a comment like that. - Michael Tefft

um, so remind me which racist was I talking about? jefferson or helms? - Karim

i know, i know, too serious, not funny enough, right? should have joked that Helms was in Heaven now wondering why Jesus didn't have lily-white skin. - Karim

As I wrote elsewhere, it's the life led and how perhaps how one dies that is measured. The fact the dead are dead deserves no innate measure of respect. Those left behind, sure. And I think Karim is respecting those left behind who were frequent targets of the life led ;) - Michael W. May via twhirl

Karim-yeah this makes me wonder how the white supremacists get their heads around Jesus being a Jew. Anyway, those of us that remain still have a chance to do a little better. - Mark Forman

oh twitter, why do you hate America? - Karim

They hate our Freedom, Karim. - Mark Trapp

Maybe they just h8 fireworks? - Mark Forman

Maybe FriendFeed should change their logo for the day. "FreedomFeed?" - Karim

commenting only to say that Heidi Moon is one of the coolest names I've ever seen - Michael W. May via twhirl

It was awesome meeting Karim. We've talked online forever and this was first time we've met. Great party, too! - Robert Scoble

mwm, Heidi is one of the coolest persons you'll ever meet, too ;-) - Karim

Robert, likewise, it was awesome meeting you too. You are at least as much of an affable mensch in person as you are online! :-) Looks like you guys had a great trip. Thanks for throwing the party at 1223. - Karim

The credit for half my name goes to my husband's Korean father, but thanks nonetheless. (blushing) - Heidi Moon

theanine... - edythe

That does sound kind fo tasty-and caffeinated. - Mark Forman

It was definitely one of those peanut-butter-meets-chocolate, "I do believe I've hit on something" moments. They should do some kind of cross-marketing campaign, tape a cherry lollipop to the side of a Mountain Dew can or something. - Karim

I hope it was better than chocolate flavored Skittles - Heidi Moon

just watched that movie. It was good. Daniel Day Lewis did amazing job. - David Risley

IVE ABANDONED MY BOY, KARIM, IVE ABANDONED MY BOY! - Anthony

There was one part where a competitor tells him to go east, which reminded me of the Chinese real estate agent on The Simpsons, Cookie Kwon, who said, "Stay off the west side!" - Vezquex

the cinematography, the music, the acting - so amazing - Marco

Wait, you are 6 months behind on an interwebs meme? This is not possible. - Heidi Moon

But the most important and up-in-the-air question is: does Speed win the race? - Mark Trapp

funnily enough they never get to the race. Speed spends most of his time playing Tarzan in the small African country of Bangthebongo. (Yes, that is the name they used.) He does take on about, oh, half a dozen TANKS with the Mach 5 near the end. He wins, of course. (wtf) - Karim

too bad - RAPatton

yay, you liked it, too! - edythe

yeah! The humor was spot-on Mel Brooks -- he should have gotten a writing credit. :-) And it was sweet without being saccharine, with that "KAOS agents are people too" stuff. I liked it more than I expected to. - Karim
