Very cool (for me, anyway) - BK and I wrote something together!
Shortly, I will attend a casting session.Which makes me think of fly fishing!
Today I bought the makings for Christmas dinner. I also bought a dozen Happy Birthday balloons for church tomorrow. The balloon lady remembered me from last year and was very happy to inflate a dozen Happy Birthday balloons.Kittens can pop?
Did you know that trying to put a dozen helium balloons into a compact car is much like trying to put kittens in a box.
My former playmate is now 60. She has a little girl voice that you can only imagine if you think of Truman Capote and the characters in his stories. "Miss Jane" is short, plump and giggles at the drop of a bon mot.
Her brother Mike (Saye) is a well-known drag car racer in these here parts (as well as owner/proprietor of Carolina Machine Parts). He was there with his wife Gail, a whiskey-voiced Southern lady who did most of the excellent cooking. My aunt and uncle were also dining, so it was a jolly enough group.
Ah, here we are. Enjoy!

SALMONELLA - the fairy tale about a girl who can't go to the Fisherman's ball because she has to unclog the salmon steams
Penny, don't encourage me, or you might be subjected to my rendition of "Salmon in the Stream"
:)
ON GOLDEN POND definitely effective because it could be opened up a bit for the film version as well as cast stars who were perfect for their roles.
Well I am dangerously close to getting an extremely fat head (shut up, TCB). ;)
After last night's job offer, with its concomitant discussion of the (according to them) many strengths I'll bring to the position, I then got a beautiful email today from a bestselling author who happens to have an interest in Frances (he wishes to remain anonymous). I had given this gentleman several samples of my writing and he compared me today (no joke--although maybe he was joking, LOL) to Fitzgerald and told me I was blessed/cursed by being incapable of dumbing down my prose to the current lowest common denominator. He's been urging me to find a literary agent, and is going to do some legwork for me. I'm very appreciative.
A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates: "You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increases as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!"
So, a woman goes to the store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign reads: "These men Have Jobs".
The second floor sign reads: "These men Have Jobs and Love Kids". The third floor sign reads: "These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking."
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
At the fourth floor the sign reads: "These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework."
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: "These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak." She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads: "You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store."
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opens a New Wives store just across the street. It too has six floors. The first floor has wives that love sex. The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The third through sixth floors have never been visited.
Others I really love: THE MIRACLE WORKER, BECKET, THE LION IN WINTER, SLEUTH, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE,
... he compared me today (no joke--although maybe he was joking, LOL) to Fitzgerald ...
I stopped at the third floor.

California Man Sets Himself, American Flag, Christmas Tree on Fire to Protest Religious Names
Saturday , December 23, 2006
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — A man used flammable liquid to light himself on fire, apparently to protest a San Joaquin Valley school district's decision to change the names of winter and spring breaks to Christmas and Easter vacation.
The man, who was not immediately identified, on Friday also set fire to a Christmas tree, an American flag and a revolutionary flag replica, said Fire Captain Garth Milam.
…
Kern County Sheriff's Deputy John Leyendecker said the man had a sign that read: "(expletive) the religious establishment and KHSD."
On Thursday, the Kern High School Board of Trustees voted to use the names Christmas and Easter instead of winter and spring breaks.
I DID mention A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE.
Never been a big fan of it, to tell the truth. I know it won 6 Oscars the same year VIRGINIA WOOLF won 5, but I think WOOLF is a much greater film.
I've never seen it on the stage.
I was in it when I was at Monterey - guess I have bias.

Salmon to hurt me too deep.
Salmon to sit in my chair and ruin my sleep
And make me aware of being a lox

I intended to watch many, many DVDs today. But so far all I have watched is the remainder of DUM, which turned out to be a pretty crappy Bollywood movie. Too many ridiculous action scenes of the "matrix" variety...but the song and dance numbers were fun...I should have just watched those.
But, oh Vivek has the most wonderful eyes! So I watched the whole darn movie.

Rope (I believe it was based on a play. I know it was done a few years ago on the London stage with John Barrowman, which was how he met his husband--he was in the audience and was impressed by the nude scene!--he says.)
I think he meant how he met Hitchcock's husband - or maybe I misunderstood.

I did hear that Alma Hitchcock had a pianist at her wedding, but that's another story, and another old joke.

Ron P - Not sure if you're kidding, but it's the one about the hard-of-hearing genie thinking the man who rubbed the lamp asked for a ten-inch pianist.
Did I read somewhere that john Barrowman is performing at the Night of a Thousand Crouches or some such festival?

Well if it's a repeat of how he met his husband, it must be night of a thousand crotches.
Didn't Barrowman end his set with "So Long It's Been good to Know you."
Or, the night on a thousand couches?
Hey, is this still a family site?
He's as becoming a star as I can imagine.
At last, a clean pun.
Songs sung blue, i guess.

I don't mind location changes in Virginia Woolf, and my only problems stem from ... and the clutter of Richard Sylbert's production design - I suppose it's valid, but it's not where I think George and Martha would live.
Our DVD viewing did not go as planned last night! (Not unusual). We ended up watching Argentinian film "Nine Queens". Clever "Scam" movie.
Is Elvira mad again?
My candle went out ages ago!
Barrowman was great in COMPANY in D.C. at the Sondheim Festival, but for some reason kept his undershirt on during "Barcelona."
I guess it... sank because it was on the water, for Pete's sake!A Reddy/Streisand reference. I"ll leave the Drag On reference to TCB.
My candle went out ages ago!Sorry about that, Mimi.
I heard people were fighting over John Barrowman in ROPE and they came to blows.
That's what they call a single entendre.
We're watching a movie called "I Think i Do" and who should appear but Marni Nixon?
Tough job... to be in Rope!
But John likes to disrope!

That's true; he's a notorious flasher.
A little late, but one for Marni
Didn't FLASHDANCE star Tuesday Welder?
Flashdance taught me to respect my welders.
This movie (I THINK I DO) is loaded with covers of Partridge Family songs.
With this thing, I thee weld

Well, Julie Andrews did say "Be happy, mention alice" in the Jewish wedding Song in MILLIE, didn't she?
Yet another Partridge Family song in this film. I see a pattern.
And a BK tie-in.
And one for Madden
Except that the David Cassidy character in "The Part-Rich Family" did have a cute line where he told the other family members not to forget which Part of the family was Rich.
Maybe Lana Cantell (sp?)Oh good an Oz reference - Cantrell.
Francois - accept no imitations
I'm thinkin' three hundred postings again - amazing, considering the site was down this morning for at least ninety minutes.

Merry night before the night before Christmas!
I think Cinders used to wear a Faulty yoke to the well and hence spill the water.
My cantor used to sing that.
That joke, however faulty, just towers over all others.
Francois - i cheddar to think of it (another Kitchen Kabaret reference)
Can you switch from cheese to bread jokes before the day goes awry.
Colin thinks you are a sandwich short of a picnic JFL!
So strange, my steady weight gain started in January 1994, when Kitchen Kabaret klosed.
Good practise for you François- with so few French words starting with "K". K Sera.?

The latter play was of course filmed as THE FLUFFER.a Latter play Saint no doubt provided the financial backing.

All around the cathode ray tube, the plaints and epistles look down as he sends his pun. Although you can't see them, you know they are cringing each time there's a frenzy to run
Now that makes no sense, but it's a step towards BK's requested 400 posts, though.
400 is near.
I'm combing the internet for kookie films.Somehow a Strip reference seems appropriate today!
I love the theme from THE LITTLE HUMMER BOY.
"So he looks around for rum-pum-pum-pum."
BK may feel free to censor that if I've hit a bad taste all-time low.
Francois - Are they Sharon McNight's Nuts?
Btw, how do you say "double-entendre" in English?!
I don't get any of those jokes, salty, sainty, or with sugar erzat, because I only speak, write or read French!
And the countdown to extinction drive me nuts!
But then what do i know?!
Francois - Are they Sharon McNight's Nuts?
Nothing in English is appropriate !
Bone soir, as John Barrowman's husband is wont to say.
Another record day on HHW, it seems.
There was a spoof of PARTRIDGE FAMILY called the "Part-Rich Family" in either Mad or Sick Magazine.
Tom, I was trying for a play on "All around the cathedral, the saints and apostles" etc.
I was actually surprised at how serious the film THE FLUFFER turned out to be. I guess i was expecting a light comedy.
For those kids, a hummer is a car, a very specfic type of pleasure vehicle.
