This thought just occurred to me.
The moderators are Rich, Alan, and Dale.
Wasn’t Alan-a-Dale a character in the ballads of Robin Hood, the guy who stole from the Rich to give to the poor?
Why yes, I do believe you’re right, Walden. You have a LOT of time on your hands, don’t you? 
Alan a-Dale, or however you spell it, was the minstrel in the group. Hmmm…he who brought music to the merry men…played by a fox in the Disney cartoon version.
For a second there, I thought I thought you were going the route of the Three Chipmunks…
Very clever to think of that Aaron!
lolly
Actually, Alan-a-Dale was a rooster, Robin Hood was a fox. 
You’re so right. Maid Marian was a fox too, right?
In every Robin Hood movie and TV show ever made.
There was only one decent Robin Hood movie:
The only one where Robin actually has a Brittish accent! 
One of our family’s all time faves… I have been disappointed to not see much more of Cary Elwes… he’s quite a good and funny actor. He was “Wesley” in the “Princess Bride”, and the evil uncle in the new “Ella Enchanted”.
I thought he and Val Kilmer would make a good pair for off beat comedy/adventure/swashbuckler/thriller… they look enough alike to be believable as brothers, and Kilmer has good comedy timing as well. He was great as the villian/hero in “Willow”
Indeed, and a musician as well… and I have to agree. You opned with, “An odd thought about the moderators”… I always have thought the moderators a bit odd. (said in the most loving and complementary way possible, )
For some reason he’s been doing bad guys. Remember “Liar Liar”?
(with Maura Tierney!)
He was in the “Jungle Book” (cartoon), “Pentagon Wars”, “Kiss the Girls”, “Quest for Camelot” (cartoon) and some other junk.
One of my daughter’s all-time favorites (along with Where’s Bob? with Richard Dreyfuss and Bill Murray).

Another piece of useless trivia: the music for the song “Men in Tights” appeared before in Mel Brook’s “History of the World Part I”, as the theme for the movie “Jews in Space”.
Wow! I think with this piece of trivia, Glauber rivals Walden for the award of having too much time on their hands.
so…walden…you think this is a coincedence..don’t you…it is what all should think..
I just happened to see the end of History of the World on TV last saturday. “The Inquisition! What a show!”
Actually, the movie with Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss is “What About Bob?” FUNNY!
But RH:MIT is one of my top 10, right up there with “Princess Bride.”
Inconceivable!
“You keep saying that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means!”
Gosh what other movie can people recite almost entirely verbatim by heart? The book is even better than the movie, IMHO, although it’s a little bit more on the bitter side of sweet.
