If we can pick nits, you're on.

I prefer Audrey Hepburn over Julie Andrews.

I've returned multiple times since my mission and have taken several friends on Sound of Music tours.

Can we dress in our PJs and have tickle fights too?

Aw. I was rather hoping you all'd be wearing the floral shortalls you make from the curtains!

One other note, while I was on my mission a BYU Study Abroad group came through and sang Edelweiss, expecting the Salzburg branch to be deeply moved by the touching performance. Didn't happen, mainly because the song was written by Rodgers and Hammerstein. The Austrians had never heard the song before the movie came out, and they had long grown tired of Americans asking them to sing it.

I believe I can one-up you PAC.

While on my mission, I had my companion, Anziano Di Caro, take a picture of me standing on the bridge where George C. Scott shot the stubborn mule that was impeding his troops as the rolled toward Palermo.

If we want to expand the CG field trip, I'd be happy to take you folks there and if we're lucky, there will be a mule that we could shoot and toss over the bridge into the stream.

Every Easter my Mom would make us kids sit there and watch The Sound of Music when they would show it on TV. I can't think of anything that she did to me that made me more mad. It's one family tradition I have not passed on.

This thread reminds me of a great joke about the hounds of Munich. But that's another story.

It always creeped me out, the thought that the hills were alive. I found myself grateful that there's not a hill within 200 miles of my hometown. You never can be too careful when it comes to sentient landscape.

DEAL!!!!

At the end of the night, we can all sing So Long, Farewell as we retire to our separate, yes UteStar, separate!, quarters. I can't wait to give ole' Monkey Man a swift kick in the rear as he sings, "Adieu, Adieu, to you and you and yuh-oo."
