I'll give you a review: A man-crush video. Nice music. "Total Eclipse of the Heart". Attractive clips of Phil in action. Fawning text.
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Well, I guess Phil will like it.

Just wondering.

Before you click on the video below, please bear in mind that I know the guy who made it; we’ve met at Randi’s Amaz!ng Meeting and have talked many times on various boards and such. He’s a good guy… in fact, after watching the video, I would say his greatest flaw is that he’s not Scarlett Johannson.

In the light of these events, we may want to slightly alter the new board banner?

I tried playing my copy of that song last night, and all I think of is Phil now

Drbuzz0 has ruined it now

Although according to my brother in law I ruined Every Breath You Take by The Police, as all he thinks of now when he hears it is a rusty crashed aeroplane

All i think when i hear it is "how can people be so dumb that they play a song about a stalker at their wedding?"
