Well, dear readers, not that we’re counting, but it’s a mere two days until the new year. Today, which, by the way, is a mere two days from the new year, is trivia question day. Our very own trivia expert David Levy has come up with a fine question for all you musical theater mavens, but we’ll get to that in a little bit.
Yesterday I spoke of the great John Ford film, The Searchers, a film about revenge, starring Mr. John Wayne. Well, do you know you can “search” right here at haineshisway.com? Yes, you heard it here, dear readers, you can perform handy-dandy searches right here. There’s a convenient unseemly search box, and in that unseemly search box you type in what you’re searching for, and if I have written the words you’re searching for in these here notes (or in any of the handy-dandy archived notes) then your search will turn up the uses of what you are searching for. Isn’t that a splendid feature? Why you never know who will come to this here site and search for things. And the things people search for are always very interesting. For example, if a performer comes here to read these notes, they might search their own name, to see if I have written about them. If someone comes here via a link, then they might search references from the link they came from (we get a lot of people from Susan Egan’s site, and many people have searched the name “Susan Egan” and I’ve just given them two more instances of her name being used). Why, it is very interesting what people search for. Sometimes they search for the most unlikely things, people do. Apparently, people want to know if I’m talking about them. Sometimes a search will turn up many references, and sometimes a search will turn up no references. If you were to search for, let’s say, “cheese slice” you would turn up so many references it wouldn’t even be funny. But if you were to search for, let’s say, “aardvarkian shoes” you would turn up no references (well, if you were to search “aardvarkian shoes” now, you would, in fact, turn up two references. Isn’t that amazing? More amazing is the fact that Mr. Mark Bakalor has set up a handy-dandy feature where I can see what things people are searching for. That is so much fun. Would you like to know some more of what people are searching for? Well, just click that annoying Unseemly Button below and perhaps we’ll find out.
Well, you won’t believe it, but someone just searched for “aardvarkian shoes”. Thank heaven I just mentioned it, and now that person can read three references to said shoes. Last night someone even searched our very own “David Levy”. Perhaps his mother was visiting the site. In any case, I encourage you all to use the handy-dandy unseemly search box and search for everything you always wanted to know about everything, or everything you think I might have mentioned or talked about, because we must be in the know, mustn’t we, dear readers? Oh, yes, we must all be in the know, and believe me we are all in the know, every single one of us, and it is good to be in the know, because knowledge is power, dear readers, oh, yes, knowledge is power. I, for example, have lots and lots of knowledge about lots and lots of things, and I use that knowledge whenever I see fit. Have you seen fit lately. I thought fit was looking a little pekid, frankly. Perhaps fit should take some handy-dandy vitamins. In any case, speaking of knowledge, here is our handy-dandy trivia question for today, provided courtesy of our very own David Levy (there, another reference someone can search for “David Levy” for those who are interested in such things, like perhaps his mother):
According to Diana Ross and the Supremes, if a girl isn’t pretty, what’s
her address?
Well, that is a fine trivia question and I hope you musical theater mavens know the answer. Remember, the first person who e-mails me (via the unseemly “Ask Bruce Kimmel” button) with the correct answer is the High Winner and the High Winner wins a special handy-dandy prize. All the other winners will have their names listed in these here notes, therefore if you are one of the winners you will have the additional wonderment of being able to use the handy-dandy unseemly search box to search your very own self. So, remember, if you want to be able to search your very own self you’ll just have to play this here trivia contest, even if you know nothing about musical theater. You just better make a guess if you want to be able to search your very own self.
Well, the cleaning lady will be here any moment so I’ve got to hurry and clean up before her arrival. Isn’t that peculiar? I feel the need to clean before the cleaning lady comes? That is downright idiotic (and also downleft idiotic, and it’s even upcenter idiotic) and yet clean I must. Now remember, you have until midnight Sunday to send your trivia answers. DO NOT POST YOUR GUESSES here on the site. However, you may post other things. And you may search for things, too, and I do hope you find whatever you are looking for. Why, even the cleaning lady can search “cleaning lady” and she will find her very own self right here in these notes. What will they think of next?
