Why do you do rocks such a disservice?

(and I hate to tell you, but here around Philly, talking heads HAVE been the news... ) :oops:
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Best Recorded Narrator: Henry Fonda
Best Live Narration (with my limited exposure), WFMT announcer Carl Grapentine, probably known primarily in the Chicago market.

Absolutely the worst live performance but I really didn't care: Joan Fontaine (yep, the actress from the 30's and 40's, in December of '81 at the Kennedy Center in D.C. Unbelievably overwrought and melodramatic, but then I was on Day Five of my honeymoon with the current Mrs. :D .
