Well, you've read the notes, you've pondered whilst you've wondered and you've wandered whilst you pandered, and now it is time for you to post until the How Now, Brown Cows come home.

And the word of the day is: HICKEY!

Yes, you read that right: HICKEY!

My first question of the day: Who gave you your first HICKEY?

As for "How Now Brown Cow".... DR PennyO uses that particular phrase in Jewish Thighs when she talks about dreaming that she was "pale, virginal and British", and wakes being Julie Andrews...."How Now Brown Cow".

I'm sad to say that I've never gotten, nor have I ever given, a hickey.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #4 on:** March 30, 2005, 12:06:55 AM »

As for a HICKEY... I never got one... But I gave one - or two - once.

Two to the same person??

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #6 on:** March 30, 2005, 12:09:42 AM »

Is there any book, short story, novella, etc. that you personally would like to turn into a musical? Write the book and/or lyrics and/or music?

Speaking hypothetically, of course.

A book, short story, novella, etc.? Not that I can think of right now. A few movies, but not literary sources. $:-\$

I've always thought that Ray Lawler's "Summer of the 17th Doll" would have made a much better musical than opera.

Well, I think I shall toddle off to the bedroom environment.

Well, I want to see the Peabody Ducks tomorrow at 11:00, so...

Goodnight.

I was headed off to my bedroom, but I got sidetracked. I made a CD of the "Andrew Lloyd Webber Royal Albert Hall Celebration" video when it first came out, but the booklet was not very professionally done (it was one of the first that I ever did) and I never had an endcard to the CD case. Well, I got a bug in my bonnet and made a new booklet (I scanned both the DVD and video covers) and an endcard. The first version of the endcard was fabulous, but as I was working on it, it somehow just disappeared! I was going to save it and instead of it giving me the "Save as..." message, the application (Microsoft Photo Editor) just went away! I had spent almost an hour on it!

So, rather than give up in total frustration, I redid the whole thing...the scanning, the copying bits and assembling the picture, etc., etc., etc. (a King and I reference). And I have to admit that the second version is actually better. I have to wait until the morning to print it and see if the measurements are all correct, but they seem to be...so far. So that's why I was sidetracked on my way to my bedroom.

Now it's my turn to say, "Goodnight."

Goodnight!

Hello All!

I am sort of back to the land of the living after two days in bed. I still don't feel great but I can't afford to take any more time off with the end of the semester approaching at lightning speed. Big news of the day is that the bane of my mouth will be removed today after having been forced to endure a cruel and unusual sentence since seventh grade. The even better news is that my teeth will be all beautiful and straight. Only a few people know they are coming off today. I want to suprise everyone tonight. We are having elections for a club I am in and I am going to use my dazzling smile as one of the reasons they should vote for me.

(Then again they have been on a long time so they might not be that dazzling at first...

)

Joey · « **Reply #16 on:** March 30, 2005, 02:11:25 AM »

Extremely sad that I missed the live chat. Something always seems to come up.

Is anyone else looking forward to the Passion concert airing on PBS in the next few days? I am going to try to tape it as I will be busy when it actually airs, but we'll see how that works out. (Hoping against hope this hasn't been discussed to death in the past two days I haven't caught up with yet.)

A morning levity:

WHAT IS EASTER (FROM A BLONDES' PERSPECTIVE)

Three blondes died and found themselves standing before St. Peter. He told them that before they could enter the kingdom, they had to tell him what Easter was. The first blonde said, "Easter is a holiday where they have a big feast and we give thanks and eat turkey."

St. Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to hell.

The second blonde said, "Easter is when we celebrate Jesus' birth and exchange gifts." St.Peter said, "Noooooo," and he banished her to hell.

The third blonde said, she knew what Easter is, and St. Peter said, "so, tell me." She said, "Easter is a Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having Passover feast with his disciples when he was betrayed by Judas, and the Romans arrested him. The Romans hung him on the cross and eventually he died. Then they buried him in a tomb behind a very large boulder.

St. Peter said, "Verrrrrry good." Then the blonde continued, "Now every year the Jews roll away the boulder and Jesus comes out. If he sees his shadow, we have six more weeks of basketball."

St. Peter fainted.

Hooray for DR Joey!! We want pictures of your sparkling new smile!!

I wore braces for three years in high school. When I got them off, no one noticed.

You thought the Mushroom People were scary what about......

Attack of the killer tomatoes! Attack of the killer tomatoes!
They'll beat you, bash you, squish you, mash you
Chew you up for brunch and finish you off for dinner or lunch!
They're marching down the halls - They're crawling up the walls
They're gooey, gushy, squishy, mushy - Rotten to the core
They're standing outside your door!

Remember Herman Farbage while taking out his garbage
He turned around and he did see tomatoes hiding in his tree
Now he's just a memory!
I know I'm going to miss her - a tomato ate my sister
Sacramento fell today - They're marching in San Jose
Tomatoes are on their way!

I love this line:
I know I'm going to miss her - a tomato ate my sister

worthy of the master Stephen Sondheim with its internally rhyming

Wednesday!

I would like to see a small musical of a few of the stories of Ray Bradbury's DANDELION WINE - although probably a film musical rather than a stage musical.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 30, 2005, 04:55:02 AM »

The Amazing Race - Four Stars last night. ****

My question for ASK BK day. Are television episodes musically scored individually these days? Or are they just spotted with music composed for different moods for the series - to be dropped in when needed?

DERBRUCER · « **Reply #23 on:** March 30, 2005, 05:13:11 AM »

Had I means, I would like to produce a musical of William Goldman's "The Silent Gondoliers".

My favorite moment in this film....the man disguised as a Killer Tomato (he has infiltrated the gang of KT"s) is sitting around the campfire munching human legs with the K.T.'s when he says
"Pass the catsup"
"Oh, oh!"

I was never able to finish listening to the Radio Show yesterday. It kept cutting off. I could listen to the Promises, Promises segment and the discussion afterward but then it just stopped. I'll try again right now.

No questions yet.
