Just finished watching a couple of old game shows that I taped off of the GAME SHOW NETWORK last night. The shows were THE NAMES THE SAME and WHAT'S MY LINE. I keep forgetting to watch these shows now that they are on the wee hours of the night (used to be on Sunday evenings and I would watch whilst ironing my clothes for the work week).

You know they had such wonderfully witty and smart panelists on some of these old game shows...and I must say that John Daily, of WHAT'S MY LINE, is my all time favorite host...he amazes me sometimes!

Simple basting sauce for grilled pork chops (could be used on chicken)

3 parts molasses
3 parts dark mustard
1 part Worcestershire

(3 parts bourbon added would be nice, too!)

(But limit yourself to Tablespoons and teaspoons, because a little goes a long way.  And remember, three teaspoons per Tablespoon.)

The good old days, when someone could be a panelist on a game show without plugging some product.

To make life even more interesting, der B has been given an alert: there are a couple of pugs that need rescuing, perhaps in the next couple of days.

That's just what I need: a pair of pop-eyed pug puppies pooping and peeing where I plan on planting my prancing pedicures.   :P

Well, the panelists were regulars on the show, except there was usually one (on What's My Line, anyhow) who was a "guest panelist" for that week...and they usually had a movie or play they were plugging. The contestants were just regular folk...but there was always a celebrity contestant as well on these shows and they normally had a book, movie, show to plug, it seems. So I don't think things have changed much.

Good Evening!

Kind of a rough show tonight for me...  I won't go into the specific detail, but I think it can be summed up in the following question:

Why are the keyboards handled by the props department?

-Sorta-vent over...

Watching the lunar eclipse was pretty cool.  I wish I had a very good camera that could've taken pictures of it.

Tonight's episode of Lost was very good.  Our plot doth thicken! :o

...But I'm much better now... Whew!

In any case...  The post-show cabaret was so-so.  It was held in the restaurant that is part of the complex, and from what I could tell, the space is not really well-suited to cabaret performers.  Well, at least singers.  And the pianist - who came with the restaurant so to speak - wasn't really familiar with some of the Broadway repertoire the singers were putting in front of them.  -I wanted to jump a few times during various numbers, or at least start clapping out the proper tempo.  Ah, well... I'm being over-picky, but...

I stayed for about half an hour and then headed back to the hotel.

I did get to see moon just starting to come out of the full eclipse right after the show, and I checked the sky again on my way to the car.  Very neat.

-Oh, and it's another hot and muggy night here in Houston.  I think the radio said it was 87 degrees!  At 10:30PM!!!!  Thankfully, fall is supposed to settle in early next week.  Fingers crossed.

Because on a show like Chorus Line they don't have anything better to do?

Wussburger time.  Tomorrow at work, we have a staff meeting in the afternoon.  Usually we hold it in our large conference room, but it's being used, so we have to hold our meeting in our staff room.  Not very conducive for  meetings, but it's all we got.  Exciting, ain't it?

Well, I wish that was the answer... But the Props Department is technically the department here that is responsible for the storage(!) and upkeep of the keyboards here regardless of the show they are doing.  At least that's the impression I'm getting.  So... ???

Whaddup dog?  These have been two of the slowest weekdays in our history.  Where have all the WUSSBURGERS gone?  So many missing in action - Maya, Ann, Jed, Jason, PennyO and more.  Oh, well, we shall have to carry on.

I'm here, BK, busily putting off doing my homework. It's almost midnight and I haven't started yet. I'm very good at putting things off.
