DR Kerry: Yes, I am all folded and fluffed now. I still need to iron a pair of pants but otherwise I am ready for action.
Name your favorite films of the following artistes: Charles Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Josef von Sternberg, Alfred Hitchcock, Roman Polanski, Frank Capra and Preston Sturges.
TD--thanks for the advice! I may actually go ahead and do that....although I keep thinking of the new South Park episode where the boys download their first song; a helicopter immediately zooms over their head and they are intercepted by rabid music-police people!
von Sternberg: The sublime Blonde Venus, which includes one of the greatest musical numbers ever put on film: Hot Voodoo. I also love his two Shanghai movies - Shanghai Express and the supremely strange The Shanghai Gesture. There is a Criterion DVD of The Scarlet Empress which is very good - again, totally unique.

I certainly don't want to whine, but once again the Board logged me off for having the temerity not to post every day. Then logging back in became an effort (though, I must admit, not the three-day travail it was last time).
Jennifer, in NYC we have Street Fairs in the summer ... You rarely find anything of interest at these things. It's the same bad ethnic food, cheap socks, cheap bedding (sheets, pillows, comforters, etc.) loud house mix CDs, etc., etc., etc., (a King and I reference). They have lost their allure for me. They rarely have any kind of "craft" booth or much art other than kitschy things.
DR Ron: Indeed it sounded very much like Sir Les Pattterson to me. (I am not sure that Humphries has been game enough to introduce the gross Mr Patterson to USA audiences - He is now cultural attaché to Baghdad).

DR JED: In the colonies we rhyme Fairy with Hairy, Marry with Harry and Ferry with DR Kerry. We still tend to use the Oxford pronumciations (with an OZ drawl). What would we know?
So does anybody else remember that Barry Humphries was in the sequal to THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
Oooooh! I just karma-ed George. I hope it was as good for him as it was for me. . .
George-the happy face went straight from the computer to my face.
Merry as in berry
Mary was in wary
Marry as in carry.
Of course, if you pronounce all the second words the same way, we're back to square one.
TCB: A bear has been using my computer.
Dear Reader Ben--Good vibes to you and your brother and his family.
Dear Reader Jane--Thank you! (That makes you and my Mom.)
Dear Reader MDS--Regarding Allergist's Wife: I thought the first two and half acts were funny, in a sort of Neil Simon-updated sort of way. Last half of third act not funny and rather weird. (I saw it with Valerie Harper, Michele Lee and Tony Roberts.).

Ahhhh!!!!!! I DO pronounce them all the same! :D These last two days discussions have made me decide that the Northwestern US accent has to be the most boring of all.
Years ago, I did notice that on the cast album of Company the first syllables of “Larry” and “Harry” were pronounced with the same vowel sound as in "bad." I thought that it was just because it was a stage play and the actors had to enunciate.
td To the best of my knowledge, the whole film studio idea was just talk. I was under the imprression that it was Sondheim who refused to have the film rights sold.
Fine whine is worth waiting for Mr Brockman Snr. Sorry td ,I was having my photo taken by a friendly bear. Yet another attempt to post my photo at HHW. I will still probably prefer Thomas The Tank Engine.
so all of you pronounce the name "Harry" to rhyme with "hairy"? That's just mean!
I do hope you are much better for the mighty celebrations of tomorrow. Who I wonder is left from those days of old? Ron and WEL I assume.
