It's Saturday night. They all have plans, I guess. Except us.

Posted to my Facebook as well.

And of course who introduced the ORIGINAL song in vaudeville?

Mr William Frawley!

Here at long last is my Gov. Mark Sanford CAROLINA PARODY lyric on YouTube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAFeLTchV8c

Hope you like it! Please pass the link around if you do. (And all kind ratings and comments are happily accepted, too, if anyone has time to do that, please, please, please)

Any references to South Carolina as boring are meant to be in the mind of the character, not my own opinion!!!

Brava Fred. It was really great and I love the rhymes.

Greetings from Toyland! The AC is running and it's quite refreshing and cool. I've got some writing to do before I catch the bus uptown.

I've been sending emails to my frien Kim Kowalke and they keep bouncing back to me; I understand that the Musicals in Mufti KNICKERBOCKER HOLIDAY is being recorded with 2 pianos, and I think that's terrible. Here's a chance for a real recording of the score and an orchestra should be used. The new Kurt Weill Edition to my knowledge hasn't even added KNICKERBOCKER HOLIDAY to its priority list of editions, I don't believe, and if they're waiting to record the completed with a band, I could be long dead: the KWE was announced arond 1993, and we've been waiting for over 12 years for the editions of LADY IN THE DARK and ONE TOUCH OF VENUS!

Isn't Maria Friedman and the London Cast a complete recording?

Yes, and the orchestra parts are the ones that have been around forever. The new KWE edition of LADY IN THE DARK has not yet been published and it was announced over 12 years ago.

Thanks for the feedback.

I went to the website and it is a general page and nothing specific on Lady in Dark. Can you guide me to the correct article?

Thanks thanks thanks to DAW and to TCB and to Michael S.

And Jrand - Thanks for your comment on YouTube!!!

FJL · « **Reply #222 on:** June 27, 2009, 08:21:24 PM »

William Frawley is of course a Fred reference

FJL · « **Reply #223 on:** June 27, 2009, 08:23:34 PM »

My high school friend Keith spoke of Fred Mertz's chutzpah, saying "Who was Fred Mertz to call Ethel fat? She had a lovely figure."

Had some interesting viewing experiences tonight.

First, I finished the bonus features on the SPACEBALLS disc. It wasn't a gag reel that was on the disc; it was a selection of continuity errors/production gaffes which are still in the movie. Kind of honest of them to popint them out.

LOL!

I think!

Matt H. · « **Reply #227 on:** June 27, 2009, 08:37:00 PM »

There were also a couple of trailers for the movie (one for exhibitors with a Mel Brooks introduction).

There were some storyboard-to-film split screen comparisons.

Matt H. · « **Reply #228 on:** June 27, 2009, 08:39:43 PM »

Then I finally got around to watching the movie. Not one of Brooks' best or worst, there are some funny parody ideas, but the execution is often not well thought out and he seems to go for a cheap laugh all too often (like dropping the S-bomb at every opportunity) or a succession of groin/crotch jokes.

The Blu-ray isn't a stellar transfer either. So a mixed bag for this release.

Certainly though, since the only version of it I had was the laserdisc, I'm glad to have this in the archives now.

Matt H. · « **Reply #229 on:** June 27, 2009, 08:41:03 PM »

I had the movie HANCOCK recorded in HD on the DVR, but I decided I'd watch a DVD - THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS.

Now THERE is a beautiful transfer! Gorgeous black and white encode for that film. Really superb!

Matt H. · « **Reply #230 on:** June 27, 2009, 08:42:07 PM »

After it was over, I shut everything off because I still had to write the entire SPACEBALLS review, and it seemed harder to write tonight than usual. I think I'm very tired.

The sandwich looks yummy. I'm not big on raw snap peas in the pod.

They were blanched.

Unfortunately I need my veggies cooked a bit more. Were they sweet? We haven't seen any good snap peas yet & Keith didn't plant a garden this year.

I got some at the farmer's market here last weekend. they were wonderfukl and sweet

Well, now that the yellow countertops are going, the yellow walls must be changed to something else. I have looked at tile, wallpaper, all sorts of backsplashes and I just don't know what I'm going to do. I have decided that the soffit and the upper area of the walls will be painted. So I wetn paint shopping tonight. It's more difficult than I thought to find a color that will go with everything I've chosen and with the floor I'm not changing at this time.

I think I found one that will work, but i need to see it in the daylight to be sure.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #235 on:** June 27, 2009, 09:11:22 PM »

So that's a long way of saying I was back at Home Depot tonight. I've been to all the do it yourself shops and a couple decorating stores today. I was pleased to see that I couldn't have gotten a better deal somewhere else.

Is there any particular day next week that you were planning on heading into The City?

Nope. My schedule is wide open!

Better than if it were your fly!
