DR JOHN G I think fasting is one of the tortures they will use to force me to give them the government secrets I know.....

DR ELMORE I can't imagine why anyone would change something that much -

But it does remind me of the old story.....

Friend: Where did you get the idea for your new book?

For my second session I got out the potent poison-ivy-and-tough-brush killer and did much of spraying of unwelcome entities. I want them to drink the poison and send it down through their roots and along their li'l networks, that they might spread the joy. In a few days I'll start cutting, pulling, chopping, slicing and dicing the remains.

And that's it for me today. I plan to enjoy the Friday evening, probably sitting and sipping for a while on the deck, then watching something. Don't know what yet, but something made me think of The Anderson Tapes (1971) the other day, and I just might enjoy that one tonight.

I hope I find it amusing and entertaining. I saw it, still living in Cleveland, when it was released, and only one other time several years later. I have a DVD release that will hopefully be serviceable.

Get ready to barf, balletomaines. This is from a story on Louisville Ballet’s upcoming sci-fi Swan Lake. Apparently it’s not about a swan:

Set in “a futuristic world,” the artistic team uses laser technology to create the scenic design in Curran’s “Swan Lake,” which premiered in 2016. Its 2021 restaging will feature “updated sets and costumes that challenge concepts of light and dark, uniformity and the meanings we attach to both,” the release said.

Expanding on that, Curran told WFPL that his “Swan Lake” focuses more on the character of Prince Siegfried rather than the princess-swan Odette, looking at the “obligations that Siegfried feels to conform to a certain expectation.”

And you won’t see the iconic Swan Lake image of a corps de ballet in white tutus.

“I’m wanting to move away from the black and white stereotype: White is pure and good, and black is is evil,” Curran said. “So there won’t be any white tutus and there won’t be any black tutus.”

I plan to spend the day reading and commenting on the teleplay for Moonshine and Mistletoe, which is titled (gag) Christmas on Mistletoe Mountain. I actually don't care what they call the movie as long as my check is big and it clears.

Well, the screenwriter write for Hallmark, so . . .

I wonder if they changed the title because they don't want to associate the new movie with drinking. Just a thought.

Well, I got to the point where I put the teleplay down in dismay, finished my notes and sent them off.

Glad you were honest. A truthful piece about Christmas in the Holler is better than treacle. Still, as long as they spell your name right on the checks…

I felt the writer was freely adapting too much; he kept our characters basic plot, changed a few names, cut most of the songs and made songs intended for characters into "let's sing a song!" and then wrote his own story, setting it in 1930 but being way too PC and contemporary.

I also wonder if the new author gets paid by how much he changes...the more he makes it his own, the more he gets paid.

I don't think so. I don't think he was given any guidelines before he began, but most film adaptations keep a lot of the dialogue and the original story. I did get a call from my collaborator, and he's equally dismayed.

I can't even think about lawn mowing until Sunday - when it should be cooler.

Of course by then it might be more of a case of threshing than mowing.....

Fish are usually washed, no? Or is that just all wet?

Heat Index of 100 degrees today.....severe weather including hail, thunderstorms, high winds, and possible tornadoes in my area today.

AND yesterday we had an 3.8 magnitude earthquake....right here in Indiana.

The epicenter was about 90 miles north and west of me. In this video some of my fellow hillbillies discuss their experience...
