On New Year's Eve (8:00 PM Eastern time and 5:00 PM Pacific time), there's supposed to be an Internet radio show that I'm going to try and record....
George, what's the radio show of which you speak? I'll be looking for some way to kill time until 7:30 or so Wednesday
LOL TCB, I know what you mean...Oregonians don't really know what to do when it snows...we either panic (like me) or feel indestructible...and slide around a lot! I find it best to stay off the roads if I can, during this type of weather!
My cat Freddy didin't quite know what to make of all the white stuff!
Have any DRs read a book called SOMETHING FOR THE BOYS by John M. Clum?...Yes, I have read the book, or managed to read part of it. I feel sorry for Mr. Clum, for two reasons. First, he has so little to relate to in life. Second, can you imagine a last name less gay than Clum?
Happy New Year's Eve Eve, Dear Readers.
I am not really in a position to contribute to today's top ten request, but I look forward to reading what everyone else has to say.
I I was prepared to not like the latter, yet found it rather endearing and fully enjoyed Jack Black's performance.
You know, I might make Senior Member today if I'm lucky. :D
Thanks for all the good wishes re. the mail issue. I hope they nab the S.O.B.
Wonder how DRJane is doing today? DRMBARNUM what are you doing at work...I read in the paper that Oregon was closed because of the snow!
They say that deaths come in threes...first Ms. Roc, and now the actor who played Wilson (the guy behind the fence) on HOME IMPROVEMENT. So sad...I wonder who the third will be...?
Thanks, WEL & SWW. I love HHW - you can find out what to buy and what NOT to buy! :P
DR Jane: You wouldn't believe what people in Montreal do when it snows. They are crazy. They drive in any weather at ridiculous speeds. I am a very cautious driver. And it's crazy when we have freezing rain or snow. You'll see me on the highway in the right lane, with cars whizzing past me.
MusicGuy: I think I used to date Christian Charity.Fletcher Christian Iwould believe!
"the Mummy" was a single. And no! TCB did not date the mummy.
PennyO is my pal PennyO, whom I've known since she was a wee sprig of a twig of a ladette of a gal. Her uncle was in business with my father for a few years. She's also written a novel, called Jewish Thighs on Broadway. For those who have the original cast album of A Doll's Life, she's on it.
Hey, Jane, how about a pic of Echo posted here on HHW one of these days!
I still think we should have a pet posting picture day sometime!
"Bluey Dandenong" .
Penny was one of my bridesmaids at my wedding. She will be visiting us next month. I shall get the real scoop on Bruce’s Christmas Eve party when she is here.
...which maked me think of that fun name game where you take the name of your first pet and the name of the first street that you lived on as a kid (other then a numbered street, in which case choose the first street you lived on that had a name or use the closet cross street). Put those two names together and that is your stage name...or the name if you were a porn star, burlesque star, or drag queen, or however you prefer to play. It is fun. I will start
My name would be PEPPER BARNES! LOL!
Buffy Alfalfa A. ? I don't think so.

My name would be Sister Carol. Ugh! Sounds more like some extra on THE FLYING NUN.
I could be Herman Husky Way. ::) Does that even make sense? I could shorten it to just Herman Husky. Or I could use the first street that I lived on when I moved out of my parent's house for the first time, which would make it Herman Israel. That's a little better.
Herman the turtle was the first pet that I had On My Own (a Les Misérables reference) ... as opposed to Frisky the cat, who was the first pet that my sister and I had together. If I used the street that I'm living on now, I could be either Herman Fern or better yet Frisky Fern. Now that's a drag queen name! :D
On www.wamc.org (http://www.wamc.org), Laurel Massé, founding member of The Manhattan Transfer has a monthly (and not archived...you can only listen to it when it's on) Internet radio show. I think it's either the last or the fourth Wednesday of each month. She's doing a New Year's Eve special that was recorded a little while ago, but is being broadcast tomorrow and I don't know if she is going to sing or if she's just hosting the program with other performers. Either way, I would assume that it's going to be a good show. According to the website, it's from 8-10 pm Eastern time (5-7 Pacific time).
As to the Topic of the Day:
My top favorite non-theatrical CDs (to be added to later) are definitely The Manhattan Transfer's "Couldn't Be Hotter" (their first live album in quite a while), Janis Siegel's "Friday Night Special" (both of which are on Telarc, their new label) and Cheryl Bentyne's "Talk of the Town" and "Moonlight Serenade" CDs that have (so far) only been released in Japan (and where I was able to get them on-line). Her "Talk of the Town" CD is going to be released next month with all new photos on the Telarc label.
They are, at last, forecasting some snow for Western Washington. The storm is supposed to move in this afternoon or evening, but, at most, we might get three inches of the white stuff. Hardly a crisis, unless you have previously witnessed how Washingtonians drive when the "s" word is mentioned.
So what you are saying, Dearing Reader Jane, is that the detailed reportage faithfully and diligently posted here by Dear Reader Charles Pogue, Dear Reader Panni and Dear Reader Me, not to mention that of Dear BK himself (he a paragon of objectivity), is suspect???
DRJane - if your pictures are Jpegs email them to me and I will post them for you.
What a beautiful kitty...and what beautifully wrapped packages under the tree! My mom will only use the same wrapping paper on every package under the tree...no variants, so she ends up buying six rolls of the same paper. She's anal retentive that way.
yay, we managed to get to the beach today. Of course now it's raining, but that's okay, at least I got a few hours playing in the waves.
We've had a long history of male pets in our family, so using the last female one, who died before I was born, my name would be Lady Sampson Sound like a madame at a brothel to me...
Or a dominatrix.That was actually the first thing I had down, but I didn't want to offend anyone, so I went with something a bit tamer :)

DR Jay: How is Roller doing?
Spent the evening on a nostalgia trip.
"the Mummy" was a single. And no! TCB did not date the mummy.
LOL, OMG, those names a great! I am getting great picturizations of each person with there new drag/stage/porn name! Actually they do sound more like drag names, don't they! LOL
Oh, you silly west-siders! A light dusting of snow and your entire side of the state starts putting chains on your cars. Over here we wait for 8 inches before we start to think about the studded tires. :D
Almost a Kim Novac reference. A favourite of mine.

Interesting one that I'd not seen before.
Over here we wait for 8 inches, too... and wait... and wait...
I have to be a work tomorrow so I doubt I'll be staying up till midnight. If I make it to ten, I'll be doing good. I'd rather get up and see the Rose parade anyway.
I have to go back on Friday. Sigh.
I hope all have a very Happy and Safe New Year.

I assume, Dear Reader TCB, that your forays into musical theatre constitute moonlighting for you, as your "regular job" must be in stand-up comedy. Thank you for the frequent and consistent laughs!
