Oh no, Ray's DOD surfaces again! Geez, in days of yore,
Goosey and I spent an obscene amount of time trying to figure out this same issue. I think the date that's the most believable is 2001 but still needs to be clarified from information given in Season 3.
To keep in mind too that RJ was introduced to us in "GYM" as an 8-yr-old but through the magical aging process of TV Land, morphed into a 12-year-old in "Hell Night". From a storyline perpective I wish they had left his character at 8 to 10 years of age. The current RJ feels too "old".
BTW, in keeping with talk about naming thread #4......
The Real Thing" - Bo Bice
Every word I say, I mean it
Every single day, I feel it
But sometimes when you talk
It's obvious you want to show it
So don't blow it
Chorus:
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot
Tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same,
Tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
That keeps me hangin on
I can read the signs between us
I feel it inside when you come nearer
There's a stillness in the air like no one else is there
And every moment stays in the moment
Chorus:
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot
Tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same,
Tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate, driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
That keeps me hangin on
Sometimes it hurts to watch you leave
It feels like you're taking a part of me with you
I never know how it'll be
I guess it's just a mystery
But is it the real thing (that keeps me hangin on)
Chorus:
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot
Tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same,
Tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate, driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
The real thing.....
