I think I'm going to give up on Von Richthofen and Brown, despite enjoying the score by Hugo Friedhofer. I just can't figure out what the story is, who I'm supposed to give a flying Wallenda about (it's the story of a bunch of Germans in WW1 flying around shooting people in the sky and on the ground). I have the same problem with the awful The Blue Max.

For some reason my thoughts have turned to Thomas The Tank Engine today.. Fat Controller.

There may be a progression to "Starlight Express". I'm channeling DR Matthew.

That's awful! I'm so sorry. I know Amazon will replace it, but still!

My Tyrone Power boxed set came today as did Season Six of WILL & GRACE and the Tony Awards play set.

A Tony Awards play set? Wow! I want one of those! Does it look like Radio City Music Hall or the Minskoff? Does it come with a Nathan Lane or are figurines sold seperately? How many tiny Tonys come with it?

DR Cillaliz, I've been remiss about commenting on all your news. This is really neat. Can I send you any office furniture catalogs I may have lying around the office?

Sure if you want to. I've been working with my scratch and dent guy. He's given me some fabulous deals on things I can't really find anything wrong with. So far I have my desk, a leather couch for either my office or the reception area and 2 wingback chairs for wherever the sofa doesn't work. I have followed up each visit by searching for the items on the internet and have discovered they were really incredibly good deals. He thinks I'm funny and likes the way I think out loud about what I want to do. I like the way he keeps discounting his discounts.

DR Jrand, have you seen this?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #316 on:** May 01, 2007, 04:58:35 PM »

Sad to hear about Mr Scott. "Tarzan's Greatest Adventure" was my favourite.

LOL. I'll buy it for the Matthew Broderick figurine.

I changed nothing in that e-mail - it came to me exactly as you see it.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #321 on:** May 01, 2007, 05:02:28 PM »

What a thoughtful e-mail.

And just filled with little clues!

It's funny that you consider that a success. While they did rectify your problem as soon as you called, APRIL 11TH was 3 WEEKS AGO. That is completely unacceptable! (although i would have called the day after the item was scheduled to be delivered).

Whenever I order from Amazon, I choose the free shipping, where they estimate that it takes 3-5 days longer, but that's okay with me. I don't mind it taking longer because it saves me a bit o' money. AND I've always gotten what I've ordered before their estimated delivery date, so I'm happy about that.

I see a whole slew of dear readers, but I do not see a whole slew of postings.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #324 on:** May 01, 2007, 05:03:00 PM »

Yes, we folks here in America are just plain S-T-U-P-I-D!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #325 on:** May 01, 2007, 05:03:16 PM »

I'm listening to The Fleetwoods. I didn't know they were from Olympia WA and recorded in Seattle (as did the Ventures with "Walk Don't Run").

("Come Softly To Me" and "Mr Blue" (for those too young to know them)

CONGRATULATIONS TO DR CILLALIZ on finding such a great office!

And, yes, you can mix traditional and contemporary furnishings quite successfully, IMHO. I adore antiques, yet I have contemporary paintings.

How about mahagony furniture and oak walls? That's been the big dilemma right now. A little I think will be fine. The desk is mahagony and I'll have a little more. But I'm afraid to do too much mahagony with all those wood walls.

That goes without saying.

My experience with Amazon has been excellent. Of course I expect a three weeks wait. Amazon UK are very efficient indeed.

I wonder if DR Ben has "experienced" Chu Chin Chow yet. The Staged version was one of my Mother's great memories.
