No More Halvah - Two VersionsDRDIT, you beat me to it!
When you lift the lid, the music plays
Like a disapproving nod.
And it sings in your ear:
"No more halvah, my dear!"
In a way, it's a little like the voice of God.
Comes the day you say, 'What for?'
Please.. no more (halvah).
What do you mean, "Who is Alexander Rozhenko?"?
Thanks to Google:
"Another entry was on the meaning of the curious nonsense riddle Why is a mouse when he spins? and its even sillier answer, The higher, the fewer. This was one of my father's favorites. The most interesting answer was that it is not altogether nonsense - properly it should go How is a mouse when it spins? - The higher, the fewer. And the meaning had to do with the centrifugal governor on an old steam engine - the weight was called the mouse, and as the engine rpm increased the mouse would rise due to centrifugal force. But as the mouse rose, the arm would force the steam valve in the more closed direction, thus reducing the rpm, that is, the higher (the mouse), the fewer (rpms). So for a given setting of the mouse on the arm, the engine would run at a constant speed."
The best line of the night was Wes sitting beside Maria at the end saying, "geez I at least wanted my own cab."

I'm reading the new Bankhead and Margot Fonteyn bios simultaneously, so now I want to see Talullah in THE SLEEPING BEAUTY and Fonteyn in LIFEBOAT.
Has anyone ever watched PASSIONS the stupidest show on afternoon tv? I caught a bit of it today, and the title should change to "Sniveling, Whining."
[cut]I think there might have been a storyline about aliens), but now I understand that it's just a basic soap now.
Page Four Dance (best I could come up with quickly)

I still believe that if PASSIONS had more talented actors, like Juliet Mills and Kathleen Noone...
I've had two GREAT therapy sessions this week and my elbow smarts like a sumbitch!Your elbow needs a shrink?
And I grew up in Oklahoma, where Will Rogers is something of a demi-god, second only to Mickey Mantle.It's amazing how much that tidbit explains.
One day I'll get to hear WELCOME TO THE CLUB.
Question for all you guys placing orders with deepdiscount. Why do you all need to place 2 or 3 orders? If it's for 20% off, how come you can't just place one big order?The first order takes care of the "obvious stuff." The second order is for all the wish-list stuff that "sensible people" never order.
I'm confused. :)
The first order takes care of the "obvious stuff." The second order is for all the wish-list stuff that "sensible people" never order.
The third order is for everything else in the catalogue. What the hell, get it all!
And the Prize goes to: Dear Reader Ben!Dear DR William: I'd suggest that you might want to get out more, but first let us know when so everyone else can RUN!
And for the other clues:
In The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter asks the riddle, "Why is a raven like a writing desk?", which he never answers. Various people, including Carroll, have offered answers. Stephen King's was, "The higher, the fewer, of course."
In the Star Trek: the Next Generation episode "The Cost of Living", Lwaxana Troi takes Worf's son, Alexander Rozhenko to a holodeck program, where a philosopher propounds, a propos of nothing, "The higher, the fewer!", a phrase which Alexander uses later to stop an argument.
Alexander was raised by Worf's adoptive parents, his own grandparents, who are played by Thodore Bikel (Baron von Trapp) and Georgia Brown (Nancy).
And now you know.
Just pray you don't ever have to SEE it. Dreadful. Several nice songs, some of which were recorded on albums produced by our own BK, but overall, a dreadful, dreadful evening in the theatre.
A) I once had drinks at the Rainbow Room with Juliet Mills, and her more than pulchritudinous husband. As I recall, it was prior to the RCMH premiere of the restored Garland A STAR IS BORN. As I also recall, my date (who was a press agent for something that one of them was involved in) and Miss Mills' husband disappeared into the men's room for an exceedingly long time, during which they were either doing lines of cocaine, or each other. It was the most awkward cocktail I have ever had.
Oh, Michael!!! Where on earth did you find that picture???
Your elbow needs a shrink?
I tried to order several things from deepdiscount including the new GWTW set, but when I clicked to place the order I got an error message - several times. The order never went through, and, as it turns out, that was a good thing, since my local DVD store got it in and it's much cheaper there than even deepdiscount.Did you order not-yet-released or back-ordered items? The discount code is only good on "in stock" items. I tried to order a not-yet-released DVD and it didn't work.
Stephen SondheimSad, but true. In my humble opinion, (IMHO in Internet lingo) Alen Menken and Stephen Flaherty are two of the best of the "younger" generation. If only Menken would write more directly for the stage!
John Kander
Jerry Herman
are all that are left from notable composers. There are no more composers who can match the quality or the out put. Who are there equals? No one in my opinion.

Now, now, Swoody! That charge could be leveled at all of us by anyone reading these boards.
Indeed it could dRWFO! LOL
Hmmmmm...Donald O'Conner was a terrific dancer - but why is Vera-Ellen's neck so scary?

I just washed this weeks dust out of my hair since the workmen have left for the weekend. Today the plumbers put most of the new pipes into what will not just be a shower, but a shower experience. Keith wants us to be blasted with multiple shower sprays. All I keep thinking is my eyes are going to get blasted. It’s okay because I don’t plan on using the shower as often once my whirlpool tub is in place. Plus I can turn off all those extra shower heads.

Well, excuse me for having to disagree and perhaps even bitch-slap, but aren't we leaving out someone very important, like Mr. Harvey Schmidt (and partner Tom Jones)? I just got off the phone with him, as a matter of fact, and we were discussing Classical Broadway and how much fun it was to do. I haven't heard it in close to twelve years - I'll have to give it a listen.
Honestly I don’t care what he has as long as I can shut it off.
Sorry but I haven't. That's why this site is such an education!

François de Paris, your such a tease!
Well DRJENNIFER - at first I thought of just a few DVD's I wanted so I ordered...then I thought of some more.
Then DRMBARNUM mentioned some more.
I worked all day with the terrific handyman whose motto is "No problem!"How to create ENVY on this family friendly board.
...So when did "20/20" become so Ricki Lake/Maury/Entertainment Tonight?!?!?
Why? What was their show about tonight?
Does Holiday Heaven, in my previous post, show up in red and green?
Yes, they do!
And remember... they freeze well too!
Isn't that strange! On my computer, neither one of those posts shows up in color. My settings must be wrong........ and the computer's settings, too. But how do I fix them?
It's funny how td sounds like SWW tonight! LOL!
we're thinking of naming him KIMMEL.
SWW is a fan of RAGTIME? I never knew. . .and if he keeps going in alphabetical order through his dvd collection. . .well, it''ll be a long time before he reaches the Rs.
You love to follow yourself? Doesn't that have you going around in circles, like a circle in a spiral like a wheel within a wheel?
Nah!
Those who favor please follow me!
Something like that!
(Ceux qui m'aiment, me suivent!)
I'm kinda fond of this one:
"Qui m'aime aime mon chien."
Of course you weren't born yesterday! Like many other DRs, you're younger than springtime.
On the other side of the tracks, Minx and I have made a new friend....a small male beagle puppy came wandering over to us from the woods....Minx is alright with him - considering that she's nearly 14 and arthritic - BUT, if he even tries to sniff her tail end, then the growling starts.This sounds very much like how der B and I found our family growing a year ago. When you can, get him to a vet you trust to look him over. He might have a chip implant (we've had one successful reuniting of a family because of a chip), and that leg needs to be checked. In any case, Minx sounds happy with the idea of a young friend.
Tonight, the youngster may have become a fixture - I stopped at Wal*Mart and bought him a toy and two real dog dishes for food and water. . .
This puppy can't be over nine months old, looks like and acts like a pure-bred beagle, may have been deliberately thrown out of a car along our road, his rear right leg has a very, very minute limp to it and he does not like LOUD voices or noises, and will always approach any of us on haunches, but with tail a-wagging.
I'll keep the DRs posted.
If he is indeed a permanent fixture, and with Bruce's kind permission, we're thinking of naming him KIMMEL.

Well, I'll be hornswoggled if we haven't been having a frenzy here at haineshisway.com.
I'm really tired for some reason - can barely keep my eyes open.
Yes, of course, but does Jennifer Warnes sing a magnificent waltz by Randy Newman whilst you're cooking?No, a waltz by Mason Williams.
New Paige.... I mean... page!
Let's do the Ragu Time Twist!
Is Al Paige à la page??
It must be that think L.A. smog; I spoke to Al Paige a little while ago, he's beat too (well, he had that flight from Syndey) and he said that he's never seen as much smog in L.A. as he did today.
You'll be meeting Al tomorrow night, BK, at Forry's Birthday Bash!
No, a waltz by Mason Williams.
Australia?
You mean there's a place called Australia on this planet of ours???
