1. Where did you get the Shadow Government roster?
it's uncanny... they're all in a bunker deep under a Nebraska cornfield, mapping out the plans for post-apocalypse capitalism

2. Peter Scolari
eats his heart out every day, whenever he hears of Tom Hanks.

Just kidding. If I were Scolari that's what I'd probably be doing.

12. He did a guest spot on West Wing too.
He was the President of a Computer maker, and major democratic donor, whose product had a huge recall, and Leo was trying to convince the President to guarantee a loan for them. It was a very small role.

Wham

Sa langue en buvant trop mon whysky
Quand a moi peu dormi

J'ai du dormir dans la goutiere
Oil j'ai un flash
ouh
ouh
ouh.
En 4 couleurs
allez op
un matin
Une louloute est v'nue chez moi
Poupee de cellophane
cheveux chinois

Sparadrap
une gueule de bois
A bu ma biere dans un grand verre en caoutchouc
(Ouh
ouh
ouh) comme un indien dans son igloo

Ca plane pour moi
ca plane pour moi

Moi

ca plane pour moi
(Ouh
ouh
ouh) ca plane pour moi

Allez hop

De s'envoyer sur le paillasson

You are the king of the divan
qu'elle me dit en passant
(Ouh
Ouh
Quh) I'm the king of the di - van

Ca plane p6ur mai

. . .

Allez hop

It's not today que le ciel me tombera sur la tete
Et que la colle me manquera
(Ouh
Ouh
Ouh) ca plane pour moi

Ca plane pour moi
ca plane pour moi
. . .

Allez hop

Enfin c'est marre

le bar
Me laissant seul comme un grand connard
(Ouh
Ouh
Ouh) le pied dans le plat

Ca plane pour moi
ca plane pour moi

8. Plastic Bertrand
"These days (when not scrabbling), Plastic keeps himself busy with his own art gallery, where he has hosted a show dedicated to bovine beauty. He has also relaunched himself as a record producer promoting new talent alongside classical music from the 'Russia of the Tzars' (his mother is Ukranian).

He's been stampeding along the comeback trail himself since an MTV poll voted him the pop artist most people would like to hear back on the airwaves. For a recent one-off appearance on the British TV show 'Eurotrash', Plastic joined his fellow Belgian Eddy Wally in a special duet."

10. Flash is still scratching up ol' skool classics on NYC radio
And can still be seen supplementing his income spinning in lounges and other get-togethers around town.

It's in his blood, I guess. What can he do about it? The last time I saw him playing a few years ago, he gave me a business card where he said he was working. His day job. I didn't look at the card until later, it was a copy shop in mid-town Manhattan, and so I didn't get to ask him what I should have asked him. "Grandmaster, are you as much a genius on the photocopier machine as you are on the turntables?"

11. Tom Wopat is a big broadway star now...
He was in a few recent shows including the revival of Annie Get Your Gun. He is doing something now, I saw his name on a marquee when I was in NYC to see Avenue Q and Wicked in January, but I can't remember what show he's in. Like his former DOH star John Schneider, he has a beautiful voice.

I have seen Ron Glass on television recently as a guest star on Babylon 5, and more recently on a WB show... again the show escapes me.

Grandmaster Flash was the DJ for Chris Rock's HBO show, though what he is doing now, I don't know.
