Ringo Starr as favorite Beatle on a TV Show

I'm trying to scratch a mental itch here trying to figure out whether this was something my imagination fabricated or if it's actually something I watched somewhere:

All I have going is Ringo Starr being a character's favorite Beatle and there's a scene in a record store where Stop and Smell the Roses is held up but which this character treats with bored disdain. It's not a lot to work with, I must admit.

Ringo Starr is one of Marge Simpson's favorite artists. There is an episode that includes an important plot element of Ringo answering a letter she wrote to him back in the 60's - along with the joke that Ringo insists on answering all letters, playing on a rumor (substantiated later by a video) that he doesn't like answering fan mail. -- kainaw™ 12:12, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

It's from the film (500) Days of Summer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.251.196.62 (talk) 13:33, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Electric Light Orchestra concert date for Wagner College Gym

Good morning. I am looking to finish my concert stub book and I can't find the stub for the Electric Light Orchestra and date for the show that I saw at the Wagner College Gym on Staten Island, New York. It was a great show and I would like to date the show for my book.

It was for the tour that was the album titled: On the Third Day. I believe it was in 1972-1973. I would really like to get the actual date so I can have a complete and correct recap.

Thank you for your assistance on this matter - Jim JimWag323 (talk) 15:31, 16 October 2009 (UTC).

Your best bet for a question like this is to seek out an ELO fan forum. --Richardrj ^{talk email} 15:51, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

They played two concerts in New York on 22nd and 23rd June 1973, I assume this was on staten island, they are the only dates they did in New york in 1972 and 1973. --TammyMoet (talk) 13:21, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest

When will the new Stieg Larsson book be released in the U.S.?

• Amazon.com states the hardcover version will be released on June 8, 2010. DB 103245 ^talk 18:36, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

• That's odd, (almost as odd as the translation of the title). According to Stieg_Larsson#Novels, the U.S release is October 2009. But the article could be wrong or outdated, of course. Regards, decltype (talk) 18:41, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Facial (sex act)

Random curiousity - anyone know the first film released that shows this sexual activity? It's now ubiquitous but as far as I know not common in earlier films. Exxolon (talk) 20:06, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

I seem to recall it taking place in Debbie Does Dallas, which was 1978... not that I would watch something like that... Dismas|^(talk) 03:14, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

For some unfathomable reason, I now have the phrase "Debbie does Dismas" stuck in my head --Ferkelparade π 03:43, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I would watch something like that, and I'm gay.174.3.111.148 (talk) 19:39, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

If Dismas is correct, then shouldn't that be mentioned in the article for Debbie Does Dallas?--Giants27(c|s) 03:57, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

If he is, then it should. However we'd need a reliable source to put it there (or in the main article on the act or anywhere else). Exxolon (talk) 04:35, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

When I started thinking where one might begin to research what the first "facial" in pornography was, my first thought was to look up "Facial" on Wikipedia. :D --MQDuck (talk) 12:18, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Does anybody recognize this song?

Helly everybody,

I found this on YouTube does anybody knows this song? It's only a piece of check it out here. --93.128.156.185 (talk) 22:26, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Looks like it's original by the person who posted it to YouTube. It's pretty bad too. DJ Clayworth (talk) 00:19, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't think so. --93.128.156.185 (talk) 01:34, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

It looks like the poster is the artist himself. It's an alright song. --MQDuck (talk) 12:22, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
