Well, I did get CSI and JOEY watched today, but still have two more hours on the VDR and am recording 2 1/2 more hours today. Plus, I picked up the SPIDER-MAN 2 DVD during lunch today but naturally won't get to it until some point this weekend.

I am Hungarian only by heritage, although I do make a mean Goulash!!

(also Czech, Scottish, English & a touch Norwegian or so my Nana always said!) And I am married to an alien.

Thank you all for your kind greetings

DRJMK your BeeGee story (doorbell NOT D-con) reminds me of my FAVORITE New Yorker cartoon. Used to have it, but not sure where it is now.

Dachshund stands at door on its hind legs with one paw extended and BIG smile on his face. Startled couple stands outside.....woman stands inside with her hand on the doorknob. The houseowner is saying:

"Ignore him - ever since he learned to shake hands, he's insufferable."

I just checked out of the library The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker! It has EVERY cartoon from 1924-2004. It also "INCLUDES TWO CDS OF ALL 68,647 CARTOONS EVER PUBLISHED IN THE MAGAZINE." It's pretty darned cool!

Elephant Man's favorite Garland song: It's gotta be "Born in a Trunk."

Along with, "Peanut Vendor."

Re: Spidy 2

I was annoyed that he kept taking off his mask in public. If you are trying to have a secret identity for goodness sake, keep the dang thing on!!

It was a fun movie but you definitely needed to stop thinking and just go with the flow.

I am waiting with great impatience for the extended version of Return of the King. We watched the extended versions of Fellowship & Two Towers over the Tday weekend and caught the original version of Return of the King on Showtime (cable) and now I want MORE!!!!!!

LOL songs....both good choices.

What a great CD, DRGEORGE!! Wow!

Of course one of my other favorites were two people sitting in the audience at an ice rink while a couple in Edwardian clothes were skating....one audience member says to the other:

"Maybe Chekhov on ice wasn't such a great idea...."

The other day I saw a "seedless pomegranate" for sale. That seemed a little unclear on the concept, but I bought it out of curiosity and am going to open it tonight.

DR Panni (and others),

Have you ever tried "Mozart Kugeln" chocolates? (The foil wrapper has a portrait of Mozart.) I had one today. It's filled with pistachio marzipan and it's delicious.

Maybe if you're in NYC some weekend?

We have a new bird at our house.

Abby the yellow parakeet.

I think I will call her Abby Normal. Holly will be VERY interested in her and her "way up high" cage when she returns tomorrow.

Speaking of Hungarian... I mentioned last night that I had discovered (a day too late) that Gift of Love was on Hungarian TV.
I just went back and read the Hungarian synopsis of the story. Not exactly perfect. For one thing, the leading player (other than Debbie Reynolds) is identified as Eldon Ratcliff -- an interesting name, but the actor is Eldon Henson. Who Mr. Ratcliff is, I have no idea.

I tried to watch "Joey" last night but found, again, that the best way to watch "Joey" is in "Friends" reruns!

I also found "Will and Grace" to be a 2003-04 rerun with the preggers Debra Messing (rather than the post-partum chubbette we are getting this season).

So I put on my tape of "Smallville" that I hadn't managed to watch. And at the start of that tape was an old "Will and Grace" with Mira Sorvino as Leo's former live-in girlfriend Diane. Grace and Leo are having Julie and Will, Karen and Jack over for dinner. Grace is fixing kabobs. IT WAS A GREAT SHOW. I'm glad I have it on tape 'cause I just roared, over and over again.

Grace is taken with Diane and feels not the slightest bit of jealousy. The rest of the cast enters.

DIANE: Will?
WILL: Diane?
GRACE: How do you guys know each other?
WILL: Um...
DIANE: We once, um--
WILL: We, uh...
JACK: [TO DIANE] Hey, I know who you are! This is the only girl Will has ever had sex with.
GRACE: [CLUTCHING HER CHEST] Oh... My... God!

DIANE: That... and that you were kind, sweet, sensitive, wanted to cuddle a lot.
WILL: Don't straight guys like to cuddle?
DIANE: Not in an attempt to delay intercourse. But, you know, the dead giveaway was that you cried the whole time we were doing it.
KAREN: [CHUCKLES] [TO DIANE] I like you. Wanna make out?
DIANE: I like you too. Let's see how the evening goes.
KAREN: Okay.

WILL: I made these kabobs for Grace once. She totally fell in love with the recipe.
GRACE: Liar! How could I fall in love with your kabobs? I've never had them. Diane had your kabobs. But apparently, I wasn't good enough for your kabobs.
LEO: Wait. Why do you care that Diane's had Will's kabobs, but you don't care that she's had mine and I've had hers?
JACK: Silly. Diane is a girl. She doesn't have kabobs. She has a kagina.
KAREN: And nice katits.

DIANE: By the way, I know it seems like I need to drink in order to have sex. I don't, it just makes it better.
[KAREN POURS DIANE ANOTHER GLASS OF WINE.]
GRACE: Nobody finds you interesting.
DIANE: Except your husband and your best friend?
[GRACE AND DIANE STAND UP, READY TO GO AT IT.]

KAREN: So, Diane, you work for Vogue, huh? Who was a better lay, Huck Finn or Captain Homo?
JACK: Come on! Who was better? Who was better?
WILL: No. We are not discussing this. It's not a competition. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
DIANE: Will was better.
WILL: Yes!
LEO: What do you mean "Will was better"? He couldn't find a G-spot with Yahoo! Maps.
JACK AND KAREN: [TOGETHER, IMITATING THE YAHOO YODEL] Yahoooooooooo-hoo!
WILL: Leo, don't let it bug you. I'm sure there's plenty of things you're better at. They just don't involve sex with a woman.

LEO: You know, I don't have to defend myself here. Grace can tell you how good I am. Two words: Disneyland. Jail.
GRACE: Well, you know, I'd love to help you out, sweetie. But I really don't have any basis for comparison. You see, I've had you, but I've never had, uh, this guy. Because apparently, I wasn't good enough. [GRACE SLAMS HER FORK AND KNIFE ON HER PLATE.]
WILL: Are you ever gonna let this go?
GRACE: No. I don't understand. When I found out that you slept with someone right after you couldn't do it with me, I always thought that--that--that the woman would be totally different than me. You know, ugly. And then this walked in.
DIANE: Hi.
GRACE: She is beautiful. She's funny. She's smart. She's like my twin.
KAREN: Yeah. Right honey. Just like Randy Quaid is Dennis Quaid's twin.

LOL RLP.

But DR RLP - wasn't it clever of the producers to have a Las Vegas episode so that they could use all those old sets again - the ones they used when the Friends went to Vegas? Amortization.

Well, it looks like I may still be able to get up to NYC on Monday. I really, really want to go, but right now, it looks like I won't be able to plane/train/drive up until around 2:00pm, so... And since I have a 10/12 on Tuesday back in DC... I may just have to play it by ear.

<sigh>

Jose, the place to be on Monday evening is the signing then the get-together. I think you should not miss either.

I agree with you! NBC's "Must See TV" has become "Must Miss." I don't know what happened to WILL & GRACE, but I really dislike it these days, and JOEY's one more example of a spin-off character all dressed up and nowhere to go.

We spent the morning at the vets and I have to catch up on work around here and I haven’t read the posts…….however,

Bogie had blood work and is improving and we just might have a miracle with Echo, at least for now. More on that later. She looks wonderful and is even running a little.

You should see the smiles on all of our faces. Echo’s is the brightest.

PEANUTS, of course.

Why did the Elephant Man get a cell phone?

Because his trunk line was always busy.
