I could have sworn I heard someone on CNN saying that Paris Hilton was driving without her head lice.

Turned out to be headlights, but still....  

It's possible; it's been scientifically proven one can get an STD by simply looking at Paris Hilton.

[MusicGuy]

Hi dear Larry..... I've been holding very positive thoughts for you, that your back improves and eases up very soon.  I hate to hear that you are in such discomfort!!  The world needs to be nice to Elmo !!

Just checking my Alamo rental car receipt....they do charge a lot of taxes!

Airport Concession Fee $18.00
Tourism fee $4.00
Sales tax $20.85

I sure hope California puts it all to good use.

However I didn't understand the "Unauthorized drop charge = $75.00"...turns out Alamo claimed I picked up the car in Burbank and dropped it off in San Francisco. Fortunately I cleared that up.

Good thing I checked.

[MusicGuy]

Yea... likely story MB .... you probably high-tailed it up to San Fran in pursuit of some hunky "sword & sandal" type, and then sped back down to Burbank.

I know what you mean.... all of the "add-on" crap is getting ridiculously expensive!

[JoseSPiano]

Good Afternoon!

Day is done.  And two hours early!





Laters...

[François]

Time for Sleep. I'll probably dream about Beyoncé and co. singing "The Internationale".

THAT WOULD BE THE DAY!!

[MusicGuy]

And now,..... for an interesting TRIVIA item that I read on one of the recent plane flights I was on;

The Yo-Yo was invented in the 16th century, by Filipino hunters !

When I was a lad, I could actually do "rocking the baby," and "walking the dog."

Now, I still do both of those....but in different forms.

[François]

I also have a copy of DREAMGIRLS, but having already seen it via a screener, I'm not too much in a rush to see it again.  I was overall disappointed with it.  I thought that most of the on-stage musical numbers were wonderfully done and exciting, but the character songs didn't work (dropping the recitative was a big mistake--I think the structure of the work depends on it.)  I like most of the performances--Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Murphy, Anika Noni Rose and, yes, even Bouncy.  But there were times I wish someone in the scenes with Jamie Foxx would have shot him with a taser to get some kind of reaction from him.  He should have been the driving force in this movie but he's barely there, so much of it just lays flat.

Oh, well, there's always HAIRSPRAY to look forward to...

Yes! Let's say it loud and clear: Jamie Foxx is lousy in the film! And... did he had a sore throat! Could hardly understand him!

[François]

Before I return I have entered into my own monologue

If you talked with yourself, would that make it a duologue?!

[François]

DR FJL-

Have you given in yet??

Toby and Dylan want their cake!

"Let's them have cake!!"

[MusicGuy]

Good Afternoon!

Day is done.  And two hours early!





Laters...

Glad the day ended early, and was triple-time!  Hooray for Jose..... grab that check and run Baby !!

[François]

 I'm getting ready to be x-rayed.  

I KNEW you'd end up doing porno one day!!

[François]

But sometimes I also like having a real person check me out.

Ask me if that surprises me?!

[François]

DR François:  I do appreciate your attempt to set me straight in my queries directed at DakotaCelt yesterday afternoon.

The fact is, I missed nothing.  The fact is, she was commenting about a reek in the library -- a room which was HEATED and yet the doors were open.

My query had to do with whether the reek was being generated inside the library or was the reek coming from outside.

Reeks do get generated in overheated rooms...and, thus...I was having some fun in seeking an absolute clarification of the true circumstances of her original statement.

Do let things play out.....

Boy, you sure sound like Mr Sarkozy!

I'll NEVER try to set you STRAIGHT! No way!!

[Matt H.]

Will we never get to page five?

Sure.

[François]

Two years ago, one of our supermarkets installed four self-service registers in one of their less than upscale stores.  I predicted doom and gloom to the whole operation.  Two years later, the system is working far better than anyone could have hoped.  Certainly there are some problems (codes for produce and bulk items), but for the most part it is wonderful.

It's so wonderful that, one day, we'll all be dealing with "automats" and NO real person around... We all will become "automats" repair people or ... unemployed! Is that progress?!

[François]

Just kidding.  

Really?!

[Matt H.]

Lunch ran long so I didn't have a chance to watch as many things as I counted on watching. I did get three things watched and the beginning of a fourth.

I started with last night's CSI. It was a better episode than the last few have been, returning to unusual cases with a scientific mind-set to the investigation. Lots of guest stars, too, including Ally Sheedy, Julie Hagerty, and Enrico Colantoni.

[François]

It's possible; it's been scientifically proven one can get an STD by simply looking at Paris Hilton.

You mean... they wasted Scientists on Miss Paris Hilton???

[Matt H.]

Next was last night's SMALLVILLE, a fun little outing with Jimmy getting conked on the head and dreaming the episode was a 40s film noir complete with black and white photography and almost everyone smoking every second they could. I'll swear, it seems the writers are getting very close to having Lana know all about Clark's secret.

[Matt H.]

MY NAME IS EARL had an okay episode with a couple of laughs but more sincerity than usual as Earl tried his best to get and keep a real job and then wanting to advance from a dock worker to a salesman in an appliance store.

This was the episode that used the "laugh 'n sniff" cards as they called them. The most authentic aroma was buttered popcorn. Others that I remember were cologne, new car smell, and Oreo cookies.

[Matt H.]

With about ten minutes left, I began the PRIVATE SCREENINGS with Lauren Bacall. I'm sure I had watched this before but not in awhile, and I only got as far as her first film TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT.

[Cillaliz]

DR Francois, I think you have taken over my spell check. It will only check in French and does not even list English as a possible language!  Needless to say, every word I type is wrong

[DERBRUCER]

Never again will I watch " Dreamgirls". I'd rather sit through "beaches".

Or Blood Brothers?

[Ginny]

DR Cillaliz - I've spent my day catching up on book review journals and have just read in the April 9, 2007, Publishers Weekly about the bookselling landscape in Iowa.  Did you know that Iowans read more books per capita than the residents of any other state?  And have you ever been to Prairie Lights in Iowa City?

[François]

DR Francois, I think you have taken over my spell check. It will only check in French and does not even list English as a possible language!  Needless to say, every word I type is wrong

You mean I put a spell on your spell check?! How unseemly!

Oooh, I think you're overestimating me! I don't have such powers!
I put the blame on Sarkozy, our next-to-be new ruler!

 Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume Two, by Julia Child and Simone Beck.

We now have 12 full pages dealing with the preparation of Tongue, followed by a brief 3.5 pages on Tripe. Thankfully, it does contain a note to remind the butcher to remove the eye-balls from the suckling pig beacuse they would burst during cooking.
