Here is

Mr. Ish Kabibble

Ish Kabibble (January 19, 1908 – June 5, 1994) was a comedian and cornet player. Born Merwyn Bogue.

Bogue explained his stage name, which he took from the lyrics of one of his comedic songs, "Isch ga-bibble." The song derived from a mock-Yiddish expression, "Ische ga bibble?", which was purported to mean "I should worry?", prompting a curious (and perhaps not coincidental) association of the comedian with the "What, me worry?" motto of Mad's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman.

While this derivation has been widely quoted on the Internet and elsewhere, the expression "ische ga bibble" is not Yiddish and contains no Yiddish words at all.

However, there is a Yiddish expression, "nisht gefidlt," meaning "it doesn't matter to me," from which the term "ish kabibble" may derive.

Although Bogue's stage persona was that of a dimwitted person, he was a notable cornet player and was also business manager for the Kay Kyser Orchestra from 1931 to 1951.

Film Score Monthly is releasing a 5 disc release of Ben-Hur. 2 discs of the soundtrack and 3 discs fof Studio recording lus cut and alternate versions spread over the 3 "studio" recordings.

Has anyone bought this set or heard it? Is it worth getting? I really enjoy the score but not a fanatic. I am selective on what soundtracks I collection

Good morning, all! I had a ton of dreams about The Drama Book Shop and its new owner, mostly about going back to work there and not knowing where anything was in the new location. I am not sure why these keep occurring,

First thing up is the laundry, and I'm ready to begin. I'll tidy the apartment, give some more thought to the area were the telephone once was - I think I need a bookcase there, 221-22" wide and 48-60" tall - and vacuuam. My choice leading lady for DEAREST ENEMY is no longer available in August so it's back to the drawing board. Emails must be sent today.

TOD:
DVD: several operas. a Netflix film, The Fuller Brush Girl, some Bob Hope
CD: ONCE soundtrack
VCR: smut

TOD:

DVD - Here's Lucy Season Five

CD - Beautiful Voices

I have just watched some of the special features on the Here's Lucy set. Most of the "bloopers" were seen on the first Here's Lucy set which was called The Best of..... and all chosen by Lucie Arnaz, which means most of them featured HER doing something or other. There is also Lucy on the Donny & Marie Show which I haven't watched yet. Spotlight on Desi Arnaz, Jr is interesting....he says his ex-wife Linda Purl has done her act at the theatre he and his wife Amy own in Boulder, Colorado.

Lucy certainly is bossy on the set....and she yells "Cut" herself when she is unhappy with the way things are going.

DR ELMORE the Dream O Matic 6000 says that these dreams occur because you are unhappy with your current work situation.

I love THE FULLER BRUSH GIRL....I bought the DVD as well!!

DVD: The Lodger, the last movie in a Hitchcock box set that I have been watching lately; Cary Grant in "People Will Talk"

MP3: Milton, Native Dancer, Julie Wilson Sings Sondheim

Car CD: Disc 11 of 13 of "The Beautiful and Damned." I'll be glad to see this one end; it's proving to be my least favorite F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The laundry is in the dryers, bed is made, and I've sent an email of casting concerns to Dublin. I'm ready for a nap.

DR JRand61, thanks for the analysis. I don't know if the Dream O Matic 6000 is right or not. I would swear that I like what I'm doing now much more than the Drama Book Shop work; I'bve been worried that the late owner was trying to communicate with me!

Danise · « **Reply #18 on:** March 02, 2012, 06:03:12 AM »

Morning all! I feel SO much better. I needed that good nights sleep in my own bed. Toby just hugged me all though the night--he had to have his head on my chest. I tried to move him a couple times but he moved right back. He may be Toby the Terrible but he IS a sweet little boy.

DR George, did I read that you made a DVD of the show? Could I beg a copy? I didn't get one and would really like to have it. Many thanks!

Danise · « **Reply #19 on:** March 02, 2012, 06:05:44 AM »

Well, back to real life.

I guess my fifth teen minutes of fame are over--but it was fun while it lasted!

DR Danise, you must behave like other 15-minute celebrities and extend that time. You'll be a local celebrity for the rest of your life, and you've always been a celebrity here. Enjoy it.

I forgot that I haven't picked up my meds for March. I think I will go down to the theatre ands pick up my tickets for tonight and then swing by the pharmacy on my way home.

Charlotte and I are quite excited about seeing ONCE tonight. I'm curious to see if there are any changes. I doubt it, given the little rehearsal time they had before this week's opening. I thought it was pretty perfect in December.

Maybe a show where you are a part of the Angie's List team and you help out scam victims.
