Well, dear readers, it is a splendidly splendid Monday morning and I am happy to report that the Paltry Posts of Yore (or Your) were replaced by the Plentiful Posts of Yore (or Your). Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too? Apparently, Saturday was a day to be errant and truant and Sunday was a day to be posting and posting. Some people posted on Sunday that they didn’t post on Saturday even though they read the notes, because they didn’t have the Lost in Boston albums, which was sort of the topic of discussion. But one must always post (even you lurkers out there in the dark) even though it may not strictly adhere to the topic of discussion. Have you ever strictly adhered to the topic of discussion? If I want to strictly adhere to the topic of discussion I use a glue stick. But then it’s hard to get the topic of discussion off and then you walk around with a topic of discussion attached to you all the live-long day and night, and isn’t that a little unseemly? In any case, don’t be afraid of posting even if your post isn’t adhering to the topic of discussion. Just remember, if you don’t post you can’t be with it, you can’t be popular with the haineshisway.com populace, you can’t be in with the in crowd, you can’t be hip and happening, you can’t be cool, man, cool. Today, if you can’t adhere to the topic of discussion, just speak of your hatred of thong underwear. That is always a fine sub-topic of discussion. Does anyone have a clue as to what the hell I’m talking about?
For various and sundried reasons I have to keep these notes short today, and that reason will become clear tomorrow. Did you know that on a clear day you can see forever? And tomorrow we shall have a clear day and we shall see forever and ever and ever and ever and evermore. Today is not a clear day so we shall only see forev. Did you know that on a clear day they call the wind Maria? Did you know that in West Side Story they call the wind Maria? Maria/Maria. Mareyeyah/Mareeeeya. Oh, let’s call the whole thing off.
What is this, Alan Jay Lerner day? Did you know that if you ask for permission to do an Alan Jay Lerner show, they give you a Lerner’s permit? We don’t allow groaning here at haineshisway.com. If I paint your wagon on the street where you live will you take me to the fair? If I remember it well will you come back to me? When we had the rain in spain was it the night they invented champagne? Did you know that every time I see Lolita, my love that I thank heaven for little girls? Did you know that when they call the wind Maria they’re really calling it Gigi? Did you know that when you come to me, bend to me that it’s almost like being in love? Did you know that if Kathleen Turner had married Alan Jay Lerner she’d be Kathleen Turner Lerner?
Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? Perhaps every day will be a composer or lyricist day here at haineshisway.com. What do you think of that idea?
Well, dear readers, I do believe it is time to click on the Unseemly Button below, so let’s do so with great and fervent élan.
Have I mentioned that tomorrow we will have clarity? For example, tomorrow you will learn what Hollywood Star I’ll be having a meeting with. You will also find out what my surprise is. Don’t forget to tune in to our brand spanking new radio show, which features Forever Plaid’s Stan Chandler, and his lovely wife Kirsten Benton. Also, don’t forget to submit your Unseemly Trivia contest guesses by midnight tonight. Thus far, we have had only one guess, so you definitely have a shot but not if you don’t submit a guess.
Well, I know these here notes are really short today, but you will understand why when clarity arrives tomorrow. Yes, Virginia, tomorrow we shall have Sweet Clarity but today we shall have short notes. After all, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must see the people I see, go the places I go. Tomorrow we shall have long notes and Sweet Clarity. Today’s topic of discussion: Of all the current crop of musical theater performer – some of whom are truly gifted and talented – of all those performers, which do you think would have achieved true musical theater stardom in days of old, when the musical theater created stars of the magnitude of Merman and Martin? Anyone? No one? Post away, my pretties and I’ll be back later today with my very own thoughts. Now, remember, you don’t have to strictly adhere to the topic of discussion – you can partially adhere to the topic of discussion or just post off topic (OT, in Internet lingo).
