Brian Keith played Uncle Bill, Sebastian Cabot played Mr. French. <BR/><BR/>(And Buffy is playing Announcer.)<BR/><BR/>There was an older sibling, too - named Cissy. My sister and I thought that was hilarious, because that was our word for pee. :)laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-1159110059454804392006-09-24T08:00:00.000-07:002006-09-24T08:00:00.000-07:00Jeez, how the memory plays tricks.

He's like a 10-year-old who tries to act like the big kids by talking-in-a-deep-voice. You could say he takes poetic license, or you could just say he makes shit up.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10275164807141705059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-1159063271567285532006-09-23T19:01:00.000-07:002006-09-23T19:01:00.000-07:00Good thing Manny PH - it gave Jays announcer Jamie...Good thing Manny PH - it gave Jays announcer Jamie Campbell an excuse to take some potshots at him. Rance Mulliniks stepped in with a bit of defense (taking batting practice is not the same as playing in a game...) but they quickly cut to the in-the-stands guy, who enlightened us on what a "circus" Manny is, and practically quoted Edes without attribution. I guess "let Manny be Manny somewhere else" is the new catch phrase.<BR/><BR/>Hansack looked good. Except I keep thinking his name is Hackysack, so I'm predisposed not to like him.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.com
