I think they're mostly movies, Chloe. The ones I see that are songs I think are personalized (or else they're songs and movies both, like Kelp!).

If you check the announcements, it's not "properly" back yet - the upgrade is still in progress, so this is the old board as an interim and anything we post between now and then won't carry across.
Well that's not good, what if we "catch" a snopester posting something "fishy"? We wouldn't be able to perserve the quote...
We've got plenty of fishy Snopesisms from years ago (and no matter how old they are, they still smell as bad).

I'm loving it. For once I can change my name to match. U sually I can't think of anything that would suit the theme without changing my name too much.
Is it my imagination or has the board changed a couple of times today?

I think I came up with a good status and--LAM!--thanks to Tootsie I have a new avatar.
Isn't that a great picture of the fish hat? Tootsie took it. The background is my living room rug.

LikeHeyScoob: I cheated. Mine was both a movie and a song. I didn't think anybody would know what I was talking about if I used "Kelp (Eight Arms to Hold You)".
How about "To Krill a Mockingbird"?

Hey, Nonnie, thanks! And GenYus, thank you, too. I may even switch mid-month.

New user status...We were just discussing this movie the other day and trying to convince one of my co-workers to watch it. She doesn't like horror movies, but this one isn't exactly a horror movie as much as a comedy!
Perhaps half way through I will change it to my favorite movie: The Quiet Manta Ray!

Might I suggest board members adopt the policy of not altering their user status to fit new board themes until they've figured out what the themes are?

I'm seeing movies here. Is it supposed to be specific to Hollywood? I'm guessing not as For a Few Sand Dollars More is a spaghetti western not made or produced by Hollywood (even though Clint is in it).
Anyway, I think I will change mine to The Quiet Manta Ray because you can't get anymore Hollywood than John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara! Also, manta rays are considered a delicacy in the Phillipines, so it still fits with the edible fish theme. If it is still wrong, please let me know!

vanilla, they also use pieces of ray for phony scallops in some restaurants in FL. At least, they used to when I was a child. I couldn't find a cite for that, but I did find this article about using shark meat for scallops. ETA: This site and this site both mention using ray meat as phony scallops. I knew I didn't dream it!
