Hello, DRBen! I just had my oatmeal as well, and now I'm off to 14th Street. I've had a bear of a morning getting on line, which took around 50 minutes and a call to Time Warner. I think I need a new modem, and Time Warmer tells me their first free date is next Tuesday. a mere 6 days away! I took it, but if things keep acting up, I'll call to see if they have any cancellations.
Hi, Larry. Just you and me this morning and I'm about to leave to wash my oatmeal bowl.
Later.
If ever you are serving me an ice cream sundae, please hold the whipped cream. I despise whipped cream with a passion.
DR Stuart - I also don't like whipped cream on ice cream. Pumpkin pie, yes, and my mother's date pudding, definitely, but not ice cream.
Nuthin'. Don't like whipped cream on nuthin'. ;)

OK, Popsicles and Fudgesicles I understand. So what's the difference between a Creamsicle and a Dreamsicle? --C.S., Chicago
The sherbet-like shell of the Creamsicle is identical to that of the Dreamsicle, but the payoff inside is ice cream in the former, ice milk in the latter. The difference in price, last time I checked, was about a nickel.

Bomb Pops - The Red White and Blue popsicles - do they still call them Bomb Pops?
Ya, Vixmom, that is what our ice cream trucks used to look like...but now, in Salem Or, they no longer look like that....maybe they do still in other places.
Until I was about 12, so that would be oh...1969 or so, there was a little old Italian man who used to have a Good Humor freezer-bycle, that he would ride all around the neighborhood.....
...On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again,...Lawyers. Can't live with 'em, can't live...well, can't live with 'em.
How come nobody has named a favorite June Kenney movie?
A priest and a pastor from the local churches were standing by the side of the road, pounding a sign into the ground that read: "The End Is Near! Turn Yourself Around Now--Before It's Too Late!"
As a car sped past them, the driver yelled, "Leave us alone, you religious nuts!"
From the curve they heard screeching tires and a big splash.
The pastor turns to the priest and asks, "Do you think the sign should just say "Bridge Out?"
Name that tune:

dang... no speakers on my 'puter!!!
but I'll guess anyway...
is it this?
WOW!
That's actually kind of spooky!
Score One for You, DR vixmom!
In 1958's HOT CAR GIRL June gets involved with bad guy Richard Bakalyn in his car steeling activities...she even loses her virginity :o
As you can see June was evidently "fired up for any thrill."
I have had days like that, too.

Its a Mann thing!! ;D
I won't say that I haven't enjoyed a few B-movies in my day, but I can't begin to discuss them with any intelligence or expertise, so I'll take a pass.
I do not believe Ellensburg even had an ice cream truck around when I was growing up. Jed can correct me if I'm wrong, though.
DRs TCB and Jed. When does your ANNIE open? Sorry for not already knowing or remembering, but I HAVE been kind of preoccupied.
I have not seen a June Kenney movie, but TEENAGE DOLL is my favorite poster. If you cover up the bottom of the poster from her left breast downward, her exposed shoulder looks like an exposed breast. Try it and see!
Is that the kid that almost hit your house, vixmom?
We open on Friday. You're tomorrow, correct?
And I am sure you could conjure up a few descriptive words for ISLAND OF THE LOST WOMEN!
Eh, you don't need to have intelligence or expertise to like the movies that I like. LOL!
And I am sure you could conjure up a few descriptive words for ISLAND OF THE LOST WOMEN!
Okay, I was going to hold back on this one, but I can't help myself...Their plane went down...and their morals went along for the ride!
ISLAND OF THE LOST WOMEN!
Directions to home and family wasn't all that they LOST!

In TEENAGE DOLL, June loses her virginity...I can just imagine the dialogue,
June was best known for her sci-fi films, including this Bert I. Gordon spectacular (and one of my all time favorites) THE SPIDER (a.k.a EARTH VS THE SPIDER).Comes through unscathed? Her boyfriend couldn't grasp the Freudian imagry of that cave? What a wussburger!
June and her boyfriend get trapped in a cave inhabited by a gigantic tarantula...eventually the big creature destroys the town and eats a few people.
June comes through unscathed, but she is a bit dirty and mussed up by the finale.
I do not believe Ellensburg even had an ice cream truck around when I was growing up. Jed can correct me if I'm wrong, though. So ice cream trucks were a rarity, and ice cream novelties were a store-bought item. I have always been a HUGE fan of the ice cream sandwich and the creamsicle. Back when I was a kid, I remember something called Push-Ups, related to DR George's Push-Ems. They are still around, but not as I remember them. I remember them filled with a strawberry sherbet that was light colored and delicious. Now they are filled with a bright neon colored substance that claims to be blue raspberry or something. The old kind used to be an after-church treat if my sister and I had behaved ourselves :)
For all you "about to open" Thespians
I beg your pardon! I don't sleep with women!
I'll gladly cover your quota.
I thought you already did!

Danise, great idea on the pictures of the Muse. I did see some on-line if I miss them. I think I will be around tomorrow night, not sure. If you don’t see me email they are posted and I will go look for them. It is our anniversary but I think we are going to wait until the 2nd to celebrate.
Since it is much easier to get a house sitter than a pet sitter (much better price too as it is free), we are finally going to visit Keith’s mother. I’m also looking forward to visiting with my brother. We will take a little extra time for ourselves traveling there and back.

Dan you are so close to NY. Will we see you in October?
I thought that October was a Gals' Night Out thing (not that that has stopped me before...)
Time Warner Cable and my Roadrunner service are dying. I may be E&T quite a lot until I can get a better appointment than next f#$%^$ Tuesday afternoon!
My modem seems to be dying about every 15 minutes, then resuscitating itself after about an hour's wait. During that time no cable power is getting into the piece of crap. Color me highly pissed.
How are you doing tonight/day DR Tomovoz?A good day DR Danise. Thanks for asking. I'm just a little stir crazy from being locked in the house and unable to drive yet.
June is National Dairy Month.
And June is National Soul Food Month.
And June is Also National Seafood Month.
Not to mention that June is National Candy Month, National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month, and National Iced Tea Month.
So don't let anyone catch you eating beef, because it isn't National Beef Month.
I've alerted Mr. Mark Bakalor about the photo prob. He'll do a purge soon, hopefully. But, I think we should cut down on the huge number of photo posts that have been happening lately. Do post photos, but just not quite so many.
Long Beach, CA, celebrates Gay Pride in May. It's the second biggest event in the city, topped only by the Grand Prix, and with a city the size of Long Beach that's saying something. A lot of people think of it as a dress rehearsal for the parade and fest in West Hollywood. A lot of others think the Long Beach fest is more fun!(http://www.haineshisway.com/community/attachments/Colbar.gif)And according to my Futurama calendar, on June 1st, Gay Pride Month begins!! So, let's all be Gay and Proud!!;D(http://www.haineshisway.com/community/attachments/Colbar.gif)
Do the links from Photobucket.com cause the same kind of problem?
We have been purged. For the second time today, the Internet has been down. It's peculiar, because the cable modem box's lights are all fine - I'm connected to AOL and everything (like e-mail and IM) is working fine. So, I'm connected, but could not get to any websites. Safari wouldn't connect to the Adelphia home page, so I knew it had to be something with them. So, I called, and they did their usual tap routine saying nothing that made sense. He wanted me to unplug the wireless and the cable, blah, blah, but I said no, that that wasn't the problem. He tried having me launch IE. It semi-launched but gave me some weird-looking version of the msn home page. Then he mumbled some gobledygook and said he'd have to pass me along to the next level for them to take care of. I've been on hold waiting for ten minutes.
I experienced a strange bit of synchronicity tonight. I was reading a magazine article while the TV was on. The article was about a guy who decided to learn how to play the piano, and his first choice of music was "Misty". At the exact moment I read that paragraph, I realized that Ella Fitzgerald was singing "Misty" on TV. Was it just a coincidence, or is the universe trying to tell me something?
