1:30AM CDT. I guess the Titanic was about to crack in half about now......glad I wasn't there.

Holy crap, I forgot all about that. Yet I'm supposedly a bit of a Titanic buff. One more movie I wish MO had scored. At least Cameron should have used the QE2 title track for the "Take her out to sea, Mr. Murdock" scene.

And now Rose finds the jewel in her pocket. I know.....enough with Titanic, Jim. Well....this sh%^ really happened today(not today but you know..1912)...minus the Jack/Rose scripting. I still wonder about any artistic coincidences since Voyager and Titanic the movie were fairly close together in the timeline. The bagpipes, flutes and all....Have a nice day Tubularians.

I only like to watch once the ship hits the iceberg.

I think I must come into it even later than that,as I`ve only ever seen Raise The Titanic..A moviegoing experience that left you wishing they`d left that thing where it was.Or as Lew Grade pondered.."It would`ve been cheaper to lower The Titanic"

In all honesty I think that movie alone was solely responsible for my complete and utter dis-interest in anything whatsoever to do with The Titanic...Apart from maybe this thread where I was kind of hoping messers Scatterplot and Bassman were gonna` carry some of this Titanic stuff on for a little while longer...And yes! Celtic influences of course, it was all the rage for a little while was`nt it.Titanic,..Michael Flatley,...And old Mike himself on his Voyager trip.I suppose with the success of MOTS it`s good to know that at least one of the aforementioned has`nt sunk without trace.

Having said all that however. I`m now reading online that Michael Flatley is worth in excess of an estimated 350 million dollars.Surely that`s got to be worth a

of almost Titanic proportions imho.

No, there was nothing more to add, really. It was just a case of marking the time that it actually happened. Scatter and I happened to be the only ones awake, as I recall.

As concerns Mr. Flatley: at least none of those 350 million dollars were mine.

I haven't seen Titanic, but I thought it had nothing to do with MO or Michael Flatley.

When Mr.Flatley was on tour in Finland a journalist asked him:
On a scale from one to ten, how hairy is your ass?
Well, Mr Flatley wasn't very pleased with the question and the interview was over. That same journalist had been asking interviewees that same question for years. Subsequently this question was removed from this weekly interview with a celebrity.
Thank you Mr. Flatass.

On a non-hairy ass note...

It's true, Titanic has NOTHING to do with MO or Michael Flatley. However, when Titanic came out sales of Enya CD's shot through the roof. And in North America there seemed to be a resurgence of interest in all things Celtic. Though speaking as a person of Slavic descent who must have some Celtic blood in his veins (and a bit of a hairy ass), Celtic people do not consider interest in their own heritage a passing fad.

Initially I did wonder what this thread is all about, but yes, there's an evident connection to MO's music. Obviously Scatterplot and everyone except me are familiar with this Celtic phenomenon that swept the Globe at that time. And all I got out of that was Flatley's bottom bristles. :laugh:

...and Voyager ofcourse, one my favourite albums of all time.

Edit: meant to say except, not besides. Fixed it.

Johnathon Ross a famous tv and radio presenter in this country tells a great Riverdance story.Apparently Ross decided to take his family to see one of those Flatley/Riverdance shows.And he actualy admitted himself to being a big fan of all that kind of stuff on the quiet.So of course he was practicaly ecstatic when he subsequently found out that the seats he had for the show were front row of the arena."Oh yes we`re going to be in for a real treat here."He mused quite naturaly.

What he had`nt took into account though,when he later went to take up his seat for the show.Was the sheer "cliff face like" stage standing in front of him....."I could`nt see their legs at all...Not one of them...I then spent the next one hour and thirty minutes watching a hundred plus people shrugging the music."

On a scale of one to ten I`d say the young pretenders in this particluar Riverdance clip below are way over the requisite."Hairs" apparent to the Flatley throne perhaps?

Since Voyager pre-dated the movie, I can only assume the movie helped it's sales. I sure hope so.

I'm sure it did help the sales. Mike's record label was obviously aware of the succes of everythig Celtic at the time and I remember
it was their idea to ask Mike to make a Celtic album.

I forgot this year. But it's OK, it was yall's turn to remember this year. I, just to be stoopid, originally put my birthday as the Titanic sink date. Well, I thought it was funny at the time. Perhaps I am a ghost, went down with the Titanic, here to haunt the non-maritime living. Perhaps the avatars of the pooch Eddy were taken from any of a million sites, and he went down with me.......so long ago. You're not buying any of this are you? Oh well.
And since this was my thread...I'll fray it as I see fit: Hey Deb, for my party you mentioned a lone star state girl in a cake. To be honest I'm tired of the lone star state and anyone within it. But I would very much like to see an Australian babe. I hear.....and have seen, Aussie girls are more interesting. This is empirical data I have accumulated.....and compiled in a.............................Scatterplot.

PS: Dirk Star, "Raise the Titanic" was a good movie. Outdated by today's standards, but I love that movie. As far as I know only 2 Clive Cussler novels have been made into movies. Richard Jordan(RIP)....the first Dirk Pitt, was the person I always saw, reading those books before that movie's release. Strange, but I always visualized Richard Jordan when reading the books. Then they did a commercially hyped-up one recently with M. McConahay(sp). Oh well...Goodnight Jack.
