I just remembered ... it's like a light bulb went off over my head! The inventor is Thomas Alva Edison. I believe he also started a band with his friends Simona and Theodora....
i'll second that!
Me too, me too! Since I missed out on answering the question, can I get bonus points for knowing he's from New Jersey?
Did anyone see that new Chipmunks movie?
And the answer is Thomas Alva Edison! Nice work, folks!
JD, very funny! Me, I want a hu-la-hoop...
Kim, you also thought he was in a band with Simona and Theodora? ;)
Laine, yup, bonus points for the NJ info. And to answer your question, I believe exactly zero people went to go see the new Chipmunks movie :)
I think you're right about that Chipmunks movie - the only reason I even knew it existed is because there was one lone billboard for it in an obscure Metro location. I never saw any commercials or anything! I'm not convinced that it wasn't a straight-to-video type thing :)
