I do believe that I - Jrand67 - have solved 2/3rds of the mystery of the title of MR BK's new book.

Deduced by:

"....never been a BOOK by this title before....."

We have been asked for:

"....our favorite songs of the 1940's and Big Bands...."

"....does anyone know anyone at.....[publishing houses]....."

I think it's title is also the title or part of the title of a big band song....

That is the 1/3 I have NOT figured out yet.

Robot for Sale

A father buys a lie detector robot that slaps people when they lie.
He decides to test it out at dinner one night.
The father asks his son what he did that afternoon.
The son says, "I did some schoolwork."
The robot slaps the son.
The son says, "Ok, Ok. I was at a friend's house watching movies."
Dad asks, "What movie did you watch ?"
Son says, "Toy Story."
The robot slaps the son.
Son says, "Ok, Ok, we were watching porn."
Dad says, "What ? At your age I didn't even know what porn was."
The robot slaps the father.
Mom laughs and says, "Well, he certainly is your son."
The robot slaps the mother.

LOL!

These Barbara Stanwyck episodes are surprising. In the last one, Robert Horton chases Stanwyck into a closet with an ax. The shot of her is exactly the one Kubrick used later in The Shining. Very intense for TV of the time.

Good afternoon.

I hope we get some nice dog photos while you are searching, Michael.

Elmore, it looks like Daylight finally got adopted. He has been there since Christmas.

I'm up, I'm up - was up at ten-thirty, actually, but went next door to the garage sale and brought some clothes that I'm never EVER going to wear again.

Then I intended to make Wacky Noodles but I forgot to pick up sour cream, so instead I made about six ounces of penne with butter and cheese and onions - very good.

Now I'll continue proofing. Not sure if I'll go to the mail place or just wait until tomorrow.

Elmore's listening habits have inspired me. I'm now playing a DVD called Pavarotti: A Life in Seven Arias.

We'll see if J.B. likes it as much as the Rolling Stones.

I've returned from a lovely coffee visit with Ian, a former orchestration student. Thatch received from Amazon today a huge catnip fish, and he's completely puzzled and intrigued with it.

Photos, please. It doesn't matter if they're a little blurry.

Last night I watched RAIN SHADOW, an Australian series about two female vets in rural Australia. It doesn't have the gorgeous sets and costumes of MISS FISHER or the quirky charm of BROKENWOOD, but it seems like a solid drama. I'll watch more.

Jeanne · « **Reply #79 on:** January 28, 2018, 02:54:28 PM »

I also watched BLACKLIST. I tried this show a couple years ago and didn't care for it. I'm giving it another try. At least I got through the first episode this time.

Does anyone here watch it?

So who do I think I am? DR Ron Pulliam? And WHERE IS HE?

Yes, where the heck is he?

Did he buy a new truck?

Is he doing well?

Inquiring minds want to know, Ron!

Gosh, my fonts on HHW suddenly changed. Not worse or better, just changed!

I've had that happen. Then they changed right back again.

Vibes to all.

TTFN.

My new surround sound receiver arrived today....one day after I paid for it.

It took me a LONG time to hook it up, because of course the wires to the rear speakers were behind everything.

HOWEVER the receiver looks brand new. The electrical cord still had the blue fastener on it, and the digital IN still had the little black insert in place.

Now all speakers work AND I don't have the annoying buzz or whatever was in the old one - which is waiting to be given to the TRASH man tomorrow. Many years of service - but it's time has come.

TAPS.....

We need photos of the garage sale clothes. Were your neighbors happy to meet you?
