This is a fun website....

It is called hometown favorites... They have different sodas, candies, etc that are not as readily available as they once were....

http://www.hometownfavorites.com

Had a nice treat on my journeys today... Was going to have a cup of coffee and I turned and looked at a beverage cooler and what did I see... Orange Crush!! I have not seen that in years in these parts. Off to get a bite to eat and put togehter the lamp i bought... This could get interesting. I just hope the instructions are in English and not Korean or Japanese.

I watched a very strange little movie last night on DVD. It was called STRAIGHT-JACKET, and, no, sorry MBarnum; there was no Joan Crawford or John Anthony Hayes in this version.

It is a comedy about a 1950s screen idol, like Rock Hudson, who happens to be gay, like Rock Hudson. So, to save his career, he marries the secretary of the studio head, like Rock Hudson.

It had a very likeable cast with: Matt Letscher, Jason Plotnick, Michael Emerson, and a very wonderful Carrie Preston. It was filmed in a very Fifties-style, with cardboard looking sets, very bright colors, and a very filmed-play style of camera work. There was some very funny moments in the movie, but boy, when they tried to get serious or deliver the message of the film, the movie kind of fell apart.

I know others. here, have said they had seen it, but I don't remember anybody's opinion.

TOD: I believe the first X-rated film I saw was CALIGULA, which I saw at the Avenue U movie theater in Brooklyn. I was very bored. First XXX movie was DEEP THROAT, which I still remember for its title song.

First R film I saw was, I believe, THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. I really didn't understand it then, but I had to see Barbra Streisand so my folks took me to see it.

I also managed to take a lot of pics of various hotel room art.

That sounds almost as wacky as my pictures of casino carpet!

Ginny, we just finished (actually it was at about 5:30) dinner of left over tuna glop. It was very successful on Saturday and just as successful tonight. It was so successful that when we went shopping this afternoon as we walked down the aisles Anthony asked if we should get more Mac and Cheese so I can make tuna glop next week. Your recipie was a success! Of course, I can continue to make tuna glop (or chicken if I choose to experiment) as long as I continue to ride the exercise bike for an hour every day (or at least 4 days a week) or I will turn into a glop myself.

We had a very nice three day weekend, doing not much of anything. We watched 200 American (a Larry Moore gift) and like it. We watched Keeping Up Appearances and As Time Goes By on Channel 21 and Channel 13 (two PBS stations in the area) and we burned some CDs. Anthony is taking a break from making labels and booklets. He's watching a Lifetime Movie Network movie so I'm here catching up before I have to return to the grind tomorrow morning.

I have a copy of it, but have not seen it yet. I loaned it to some friends and they said they enjoyed it.

John Anthony Hayes?

He played Joan Crawford's future son-in-law in the original STRAIT-JACKET, and I think he was in a couple of other movies, like RIDE, RIDE THE WILD SURF.

I almost ordered STRAIT-JACKET, hmmm....perhaps I should. I liked the subject and the time period....

DRMATTH - my GOLDEN BOY has the number SVAS 502124. Please confirm that this is the correct LP - and I will start asking around about getting it onto a cassette tape - remember those?

Don't you hate it when a song get's stuck in your head? For the last hour, the Belafonte song lyric "Matilda, she stole my money and moved Venezuela" won't go out of my head. The problem is, I don't know the rest of the stupid song. That Matilda!

DR RODZINSKI - in perusing the wacky world that is EBAY - and searching under defunct record album labels, I found the perfect companion for your soundtrack of the film Industrial Oils......

My Zelda....my Zelda....

My Zelda...she took my money and ran with the tailor....

My Zelda found her big romance
When I broke the zipper in my pants...

My Zelda
She took my money and ran with the tailor

Oh that tailor really hurt my pride
He made my lapels an inch too wide....

My Zelda
She took my money and ran with the tailor.

Oh it's almost too sad to tell to you
She took seven books of green stamps, too....

DR JRand55, why didn't you post the the real lyric? All these commercials I hear on tv lately have half-remembered songs as well, like "Daydream Believer" but I don't know where in my subconscious the Belafonte originated!

Be careful what you order, Jrand. STRAIT-JACKET is Joan Crawford. STRAIGHT-JACKET is the Rock Hudson spoof. I would certainly watch STRAIGHT-JACKET a second time. Some of the lines are wonderful. And Veronica Cartwright is very butch and quite funny in the film.

I always liked Ms Crawford's tawdry film.

Yes, I have Miss Joan Crawford's STRAIT JACKET....it had a great ad campaign....and some only-Joan moments! Thanks for the warning though, DR TCB.

Of course Joan's co-star was one Leif Erickson, ex-husband of you know who, and I'm only hoping she had the presence of mind not to wander into a theatre just to see what he was up to in 1964.

Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Five hundred dollars, friends, I lost:
Woman even sell me cat and horse!
Heya! Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Everybody!
(Matilda,) Sing out the chorus,
(Matilda,) Sing a little louder,
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Once again now!
(Matilda,) Going 'round the corner,
(Matilda,) Sing out the chorus,
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Well, the money was to buy me house an' lan'
Then she got a serious plan,
A-hey, ah!

Stuck up in a pillow beneath me head.
Don't you know,
Matilda, she found me money and...
Everybody...
(Matilda,
Matilda,
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.)
Once again now!
(Matilda,) Hooma locka chimba,
(Matilda,) Bring me little water,
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Women over forty?
(Matilda,
Matilda,
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.)
Everybody!
(Matilda,) Goin' round the corner,
(Matilda,) Bring me little water,
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Well, me friends, never to love again,
All me money gone in vain!
Uh, heya...
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Everybody!
(Matilda,
