I must say that dear reader Iris gets around....
Amazon says "Poor Everybody Else" was indeed composed by Cy Coleman and says it is a song from SEESAW. But a song of the same title was sung by Lucy and Red Skelton in a Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour "Lucy Goes to Alaska" around 1959 or so.....so that's weird. If it's the same song - Mr Coleman must have had it in his trunk since then. Mysterious.
Well DRJOSE - my most terrible kitchen mishap was the time I put Liquid Dishwashing liquid in the Dishwasher!
DON'T EVER DO THAT!!!
...And, My Dear DR Swoody, what were you doing up at three o'clock in the morning?I was going to bed. I'm up again now.
Does anyone plan to watch the Grammy Awards tonight? I won't since there is little in the music industry today to interest me, but for anyone who does watch, let us know which cast album wins that competition: WICKED, AVENUE Q, or ASSASSINS?Of course, it could instead go to The Boy From Oz or Wonderful Town.
Is this a slow news day here at haineshisway.com?Yes.
Who is Arthur Hamilton - and why is he saying these things about me?Checking on Arthur Hamilton over at IMDB, there was indeed such a person. His bio reads:
Wonder if Cy wrote it - and they gave the credit to Arthur Hamilton, or if there is such a person?
The Library of Congress values the Kreuger archives, known as the Institute of the American Musical, at more than $1 million. State Librarian Emeritus Kevin Starr describes the stash—visitors gain access by appointment only—as a "cultural resource of international importance." Yet Kreuger, who lives among the floor-to-ceiling artifacts with his ancient dog, Molly, depends on the kindness of benefactors for financial support. Over the years, several of these friends have gently urged him to transfer the collection out of his darkly furnished duplex near the Fairfax district to a more secure and accessible site. But Kreuger resists every effort to pry away his things, showing the same tenacity he has deployed during the more than 50 years it took to acquire them.
"The institute is Miles. He is it," explains Robert Kimball, a musical theater historian and longtime member of the institute's board.

I have returned from my weekend at George U's in South Beach..had a great time...the weather was very nice and believe it or don't, I went boogie boarding! LOL! I have never done that before...but I tell you, squeezing into that wet suit is NOT an easy thing to do! And getting out of it is even more difficult! And walking around in it I felt like I was in one of the 1950s B - movies (which of course I loved!).Not to mention how slimming rubber can be!
Here I am fresh from the sea!
That's a really neat senior trip. My senior year, they went to Mexico and got tattooed. I didn't go.They couldn't find any tattoo parlors closer to home?
I watched an Australian movie “Center Stage” this afternoon. It’s a story of young ballet dancers. I was really impressed with the brilliant dancing of these actors and actresses in it. They DO excellently not only classic ballet, but modern dance. I know there’re many good talented actors and actresses in Australia, and good movies. Is that movie popular there in Australia? This question is for maybe DR OZDEREK and DR TOMOVOZ. How do you like it? :)
So, Topic for Discussion...
What are some of your memorable and/or infamous culinary mishaps?

I happen to know that elmore looks really good in rubber.
Was he inspired to buy you the gazebo because it was a word of the day here not so long ago?Alas no. However I have been hinting (for the past two or three decades) that one might look nice on the side lawn

Dh tells a story from his university days of a dorm mates culinary disaster that was actually his pratical joke, They had a common kitchen on the dorm floor and one of the other students was a having two friends over for macaroni & cheese....
Advance to the Rear-MGM Civil War hijinks with Glenn Ford, Stella Stevens and a soundtrack by the New Christy Minstrels
DR Rodzinski - This soundtrack is one of my favorite albums and I, too, wish the movie would be released on DVD. Do you think that, now that there are 2 of us who'd like to see it, MGM would comply?
What is wrong with all the wussburgers at this here site??? Almost 11:00 p.m. on the right coast and still less than 130 posts!!!
It does seem odd that EASTER PARADE would not yet be on DVD.
I loved Racket Squad. I saw Reed Hadley, the star of that show, in something that I watched just in the last couple of days. It might have been All in a Night's Work.
Oh good heavens, has Ann caught up yet???[/i]
Frankly, I don't believe Ann has not caught up. What I believe is what my eyes tell me - she was here and she deigned not to post. I think sometimes people get ornery or contrary. Perhaps I shall be ornery and contrary, too, to be in the spirit.
I hope we can have some decorum from the quorum in the forum.
