After reading the site, it came to me that CNN never used the word _lesbian_ in it’s discussion of it, I must have mentally added it. Oops. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by flodnak \* > This is really obscure, but last Christmas I went looking for the lyrics of an Advent hymn called _The King of Glory_, which we used to sing back when I was a little Catholic schoolgirl. I found another hymn by the same name, but not the one I was looking for, which has a refrain something like: _The King of Glory comes / The nation rejoices / Open the gates before him / Lift up your voices_ If my memory can be trusted it had lots of verses, but they were all just as short as the refrain. Is that the one that has the lines: _Who is the King of Glory?/How shall we call him?/He is Emmanuel/The Promised of Ages_? ---

Can’t find anything on the net about about 19th century South American tin (the metal) and rubber industrialists who made forunes and built cities with grand opera houses etc in the middle of the deepest South American rainforests. Apparently all gone back to the jungle now. ---

I have not been able to find the origins of Boston’s nickname of Beantown. I’m looking for the history of it and can’t find it. I only seem to find that it is indeed nicknamed Beantown. ---

Aparently they don’t have a web site, though they should. I have found where it is and it’s phone #, but I already knew that, I sold them a plane about 10 years ago. Sure, any info about WW1 fighters I could get most anywhere on the web, but I wanted to see how ‘their’ collection was coming along.

The soundtrack of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s PHANTOM OF THE OPERA featuring NO, not the original cast with Michael Crawford who can’t sing ::yyawn:: but instead Thomas James O’Leary, i.e., the current cast. MP3 would do. CD better. I’d take bootleg cassette tapes. ---

The name of the actress who played Athena, the girl from the Green Dimension, in a couple episodes of the old “Lost in Space” TV series. There is no shortage of “Lost in Space” fan sites and episode guides, but none that I’ve seen mention her name. ---

I’ve been trying to find a place to buy one of those strap to the back of your hand massagers. They were popular probably about 10+ years ago. They had coils that would go around your hand and the power pack would rest on the back of your hand. It was a plug in model. I called the manufacturer of the one my aunt has, but they don’t make them anymore. If anyone could find this I (and my boyfriend) would be eternally grateful 🙂 ---
