I think it was DR Jane who asked if I couldn’t order the Cincinnati chili supplies online instead of only buying them when I’m there.

Yes, that’s totally possible. It’s just that for me the “real deal” kind of fun is stopping at a Kroger where I can get all the local stuff in “bulk”, and loading the car with it. The price is probably the best available, there’s no tax and shipping, and I simply enjoy the once or twice per year stocking up ritual.

What I never seem to think of doing is purchasing them at the restaurants themselves. I’ll check that out next time, but really, I enjoy the advantages of the large supermarkets.

Been reading up on trademark law and I'm pretty certain I'm going to use the original title now.  First off, who cares?  So under the radar and how many copies do we actually sell?  Second off, I'm not trying to confuse people into thinking it's an official book about the place, nor is it non-fiction.  I've read enough now to think I should never have even brought this up, but someone who was helping me with details told me it was a trademark and I got nervous about it.  Stupid me.

Jrand, "Golda Meir, My Eye" looks like it's the fiendish work of Rick Unterberg. (I think from a project he presented at BMI)

I also love his "If You'da Been Judah Ben-Hur"

What would you have done, if you'd have been him

If Dorothy Gale married Gale Storm, it would be interesting, though probably nothing funny.

While we're speaking of Demi and Legrand movies, as regards The Young Girls of Rochefort. The only one who does his own singing is Gene Kelly (maybe also Grover Dale and George Chakiras), in French.  But when it was on American TV some 40 years ago there was a dubbed English ST, and Kelly sang on that too. 

I actually recorded it on reel to reel with a microphone [!!!]

Anyone if that's available in any format?

I am so confused that nobody thinks when someone who did something wrong at 20 or 25 (meaning not a  crime of course) , but has been exemplary for decades after that, it's a valuable lesson for young people that you can remake your life. 

Hope that's not seen as political.  I'd just love for people not to feel they have nothing to strive for.

I agree with you, and youth is a time for making stupid mistakes and learning from them

The English Young Girls is available in a Legrand/Demy set, complete, and includes the complete French and all kinds of cover versions of stuff.

I thought the same thing when I read Liam Neeson's confession.  It should be used as a lesson of things not to do so we don't regret them, vs attacking him for his feelings at the time.

Back from the memorial at the theater. His family, who lived just far enough away that they weren’t involved in his theatrical life to any great extent, have been blown away by the love for him in this community, which was their motivation for planning and hosting this evening’s tribute. It was very nice. So was the food and drink after.

"Woman Smashed Eatery's Windows With Baseball Bat After Learning It Was Out of Beef Patties"

Well that's ridiculous, everyone knows the proper reaction in that situation is to roundly curse out the employees , tell them that you  are personal friends with the owner, tell them they are all fired.  You can cut yourself smashing windows

This is very reassuring:   "It wasn’t immediately clear where the woman got the bat from."

It's the Bronx, one naturally carries one at all times in case you run into a situation not serious enough to warrant the use of your gun

I expected my colleague to show up earlier, but he finally arrived around 4:45 with needed music  and Dropbox aid.  I did miss dinner with DR KevinH and former DR Ben, so that's a pity.

That's disappointing

Today, I have no plans.  If the roads are clear enough, I might go to Eagan's Drive-In because I want to.  We'll see what the weather says about that.

I did go to Eagan's and it was delish.  I got my usual Deluxe Cheeseburger and large diet Pepsi.

Been reading up on trademark law and I'm pretty certain I'm going to use the original title now.  First off, who cares?  So under the radar and how many copies do we actually sell?  Second off, I'm not trying to confuse people into thinking it's an official book about the place, nor is it non-fiction.  I've read enough now to think I should never have even brought this up, but someone who was helping me with details told me it was a trademark and I got nervous about it.  Stupid me.

BK, is it just the name that's trademarked, or are you using their logo, like you did with Levi where you just needed to make it look slightly different from the original but still have the same effect?
