My children songs were ones from My Fair Lady, Mary Poppins, Sound of Music (film) and Fiddler on the Roof. Later HAIR. where I used to go around singing the song Sodomy. I course did not know what the words meant. I just liked the way they sounded. I stopped when my mother warned me not to sing the song anymore because they were not nice words for children to use.

The lyrics to Sodomy from HAIR

Sodomy, fellatio, cunnilingus, pederasty
Father, why do these words sound so nasty?
Masturbation can be fine
Join the holy orgy Kama Sutra
Everyone

No wonder an young boy shouldn't sing that!

Well, since HAIR is "owned" by Tams-Witmark...

-And I just wish that Tams would start sending out FULL SCRIPTS out with some of their older properties instead of those stupid prompt books.  Yes, they save paper... BUT, you end up with a lot of people who don't get to read the full script... or know exactly where there scenes come in the play.

Of course, the prompt boooks are fun sometimes too... At least when they put a prompt book out for someone like "Man 1", "Guard 3", or "Nurse 2"... A nice cover... A nice cover page... And then ONE line!  -But, again, where in the heck in the play does my line come?

And isn't it:

What was the name of the half-season or less comedy from the "Get Smart!" people about the star of a tv western?  All I can remember is his car had horns (as in antlers) on the hood.  It was definitely on NBC and was probably in the 66-67 or 67-68 season.

I can't find diddly. SWW thinks it was THE HERO with Richard Mulligan.

I think that may be it, by gum and by golly.  I'll look it up on IMDb later and confirm.  You guys know your trivia!!

Couldn't stand to wait, did a quick Google and it was, indeed, The Hero.  There's actually a site devoted to it, which I guess should not surprise me:

Thanks Jane, eating did me a world of good! Had chicken noodle soup and a peanut butter and butter sandwich. Tummy is full, but there is a familiar grumbling inside now! Oh, well!

Tomovoz, I am now listening to the Sandie Smith CD. Wow, it is wonderful (as I expected it would be). She sometimes reminds me just a tad of Lulu (the singer, not the DR). Thank you so much for the wonderful CDs, they really made my day!

Here is a link to an MSNBC.com story about Rosie's nuptials with Kelli Carpenter and the "reason" she said they decided to marry.

You think that's bad?  In Eagle Rock there's a five-year-old girl who loudly sings the following salacious smut by her uncle:

Know what we'd really rather sing about?  The wedding night.
We have some pointers that could help you out on your wedding night.
Listen to our hot advice
It takes a whole lot of naughty to be wholly nice
Rub his chest with a piece of ice on your wedding night.

Hold his head and kiss him deep on the wedding night.
Keep the candles burning; you won't get to sleep on the wedding night.
Play the game of "Twister" in the nude
And if he lets you beat him, you'd
Better show him some gratitude on the wedding night.

You're energetic, hot and young
So write your name on his chest with your tongue
You've been a cowgirl, and now you're a bride
So mount your steed and go for a ride

I know you'll be like acrobats on your wedding night
And find out the true meaning of Dewing Katz on your wedding night
If your hotel has all the amenities
Get him up on the flying trapeze
As he swings by, lick his knees on your wedding night

The sexy lace that's under your gown is sure to excite
He'll take one look and head downtown on your wedding night
Put on Gladys Knight and the Pips
Shake your booty; work your hips
Walk up his thigh with your fingertips on the wedding night.

Run your fingers through his hair.
He doesn't have much on top!
--  No, I meant down there.
You're his wife now, and since the wife rules
Never let go of the family jewels

As you please him, whatever you do on your wedding night.
Make sure you don't forget about you on your wedding night.
Whatever you choose as your plan of attack
Make sure you end up on your back
Spill some honey on you and let him snack on your wedding night
On the wedding night...On the wedding night...On the wedding night...wedding night

Whatever her name is her CD is great!

Well, we are at 8 inches of snow and counting. The weather forecaster said it may get to 20 inches of snow in some parts of the county. Needless to say, a record.

I think it would be neat if the judges picked two of the Wild Card contestants.  It would really not be that different from them picking the initial 112 (or whatever that figure was) or the 32.  *And after some of the people they let slip through, this could be a way for them to make up for some of their questionable decisions.  It would also add an interesting dynamic to the Final 12.  Will the public automatically not like the two the judges picked?  And will it cause the other contestants to step up their performances since they would have an idea who the favorites are?

Since this is my first time watching the prelims, how were the Wild Cards chosen in the past two seasons?  And how many rounds of prelims did they do?

Last time I believe 4 people advanced from the Wild Card show. The judges each picked one, and the audience chose one.

As for how the Wild cards were chosen, last time they took the 4 third placed people (i'm pretty sure about this, but not positive). Then they took a few others from the 32 who they (the judges) really liked. Then they took a few others (like the blonde carmen) who either made it to hollywood, or who just gave great original auditions (i think they chose one or two this way).

And, Matt H - Now that's snow!  Seriously, I hope that everyone stays warm, that your power stays on, and that no ones tries to see just how deep the snow has to get before there car/truck won't go any further.

There was one in the LA Times last week which was pretty silly. The main premise was that it was not Jewish enough. Go figure.

Oh... and I just realized that the NYTimes website has it's own Theater page now instead of subheading it under Arts.

-Oh, I did see Peter Filichia's review on Broadway.com... As well as the one on Theatremania.com.

I toast the bread with the peanut butter on one slice and the butter on the other to make them ooze together. Simply delicious. And I'm sure my heart and arteries are cursing me with each bite.

Reminds me of when I was around eight and discovered the word "jerkoff" and incessently used it as a noun, though I had no idea what it meant.  The real trouble came when I said to my mother after school one day, "Sister Franchetta was a real jerkoff today."
