I came to Casablanca for the waters.

I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

We'll always have Paris.

Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

On me or the spider?

Oh, DR Tomovoz, I think you would look simply smashing in a leather strap.

How did you out the spider?

Good Evening!

Back from a Congratulatory dinner with DR Jason. We supped at Eatery. Good food, and some cute actors moonlighting as waiters. Some of them were even reviewing a dance combination in the corner.

bk - J&R discounts basically everything they sell at the stores down by City Hall. Well worth the trip. However, I believe it's almost time for the annual(?) Criterion sale at Virgin, so...

-Border's also runs a Criterion sale from time to time. -And Amazon.com, of course.

There has been a lot of discussion over at the listserv about this wonderful CLIP of a section of Bernstein's "Dance at the Gym" from the Proms. Performed by Orquesta Juvenil Simón Bolivar. I think Lenny would have approved.

And there seem to be quite a few outlets in NYC that regularly "jump" street dates by a week or even more!

Favorite lines from A Christmas Story[/i][/b]:

Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Aunt Clara had for years labored under the delusion that I was not only perpetually 4 years old, but also a girl.

***

Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] My father worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium, a master.

***

Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] In the heat of battle my father wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan.

***

Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. Though my personal preference was for Lux, I found that Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heavy, but with a touch of mellow smoothness. Life Buoy, on the other hand... YECCHH!

***

Ralphie: I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle!
Mrs. Parker: No, you'll shoot your eye out.

***

[Ralphie is visiting Santa at the department store, only he can't remember what he wanted]
Santa Claus: How about a nice football?
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Football? Football? What's a football? With unconscious will my voice squeaked out 'football'.
Santa Claus: Okay, get him out of here.
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] A football? Oh no, what was I doing? Wake up, Stupid! Wake up!
Ralphie: [Ralphie is shoved down the slide, but he stops himself and climbs back up] No! No! I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!
Santa Claus: You'll shoot your eye out, kid.

***

Ralphie as Adult: [narrating, after BB gun shot bounces off target and hits his face] Oh my god, I shot my eye out!

They must have had enough waiters to perform Jack's "ballet" service this evening.

Something to do with the sideways walk DR George. You have to bat for our team to carry that off!

Thank you DR BlackBelt. I do think the image would be quite frightening for some.

DearReader Laura: the journey to the outside world was taken within the confines of a plastic container (WITH A LID). My journey was outside the container.

I am glad the spider was removed without incident.

I assume there was no incident?

singdaw · « **Reply #435 on:** September 11, 2007, 05:34:51 PM »

But I do NOT advocate popping them into pies.

Although I don't doubt that somewhere in the world, this is considered a delicacy.

Thank you, DR Laura. I have 2 great role models in my mother (almost 89) and Richard's.

You are very lucky, and they are both lucky to have such a loving family.

Four hours! My father had a couple of surgeries for obstructions, neither lasted nearly as long. Did the doctors expect it to be so complicated?

I kept saying that after we walked out of LOVE STORY, so of course I thought it was great in WHATS UP DOC.

LOL-I didn't mean we walked out of the middle of the movie, even if I was bored. I meant at the end of the movie, when we left with the rest of the audience.

Thankfully, we don't get big spiders like that here. In the house anyway. We do get black widows, but they are small.

And you would rather have a black widow in your house!

No, the surgeon said this type of thing usually takes about an hour, but also said her insides looked like someone had poured Elmer's glue all over them

We just came from checking in at the hospital. Harriet's still in recovery, because they don't have the right kind of room available in CCU. She will spend the night in recovery, which is fine with us, because she pretty much has private nursing there.
