Welcome to the Proverbial Box!

One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.
-Goethe

This group was inspired, initially, by a thread originally posted by TenOutof Ten on the American Idol Forums, called "The Proverbial Box and Why David Cook Will Win AI".  The thread ran continuously for over 5 weeks, and eventually turned into this, our permanent home.  In case of server failure, or down time on this site, the American Idol thread will be our backup meeting place.

Please be kind....this is our first forum home.  All are welcome, but please be respectful of others, their thoughts and opinions.  Be especailly patient with the moderators and support...(don't make me throw poo balls at you....you know I'll do it, too.)

Congratulations, David Cook, our American Idol!
On butterflies:  During a recent Coldplay performance a cascade of confetti shot up from both sides of the stage. The confetti was butterfly shaped and appeared to flutter. Chris Martin said of the butterflies, "Those butterflies are very important to us because they make us feel very...happy." He also said, "As long as some people are kind and supportive, that makes it easier. But even then you need your butterflies to remember to just enjoy the moment."
