Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in a pear tree, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently listening to the Partridge in the Pear Tree, only they named the Partridge Shirley.
-
And the word of the day is: EXOGAMY!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
It's 5:27am. I can live with that. At least it's not 3:30am. I did go to bed around 9:45 after not taking any naps all day (it was difficult). I didn't have a great sleep (I kept dreaming about bags in the Equity lounge). I feel better and good enough that I will go in today for another round of bags. We still have 3 or 4 days left. But I have promised Anthony, Greg (our coordinator) and myself that I will not be quite so active. I don't want a repeat or something worse just before Christmas.
-
Good morning.
-
And we're off to another day!
-
Nobody's here.
-
I'll be gone in a while myself.
-
Although I may have to take a toke before I go.
-
Where are Jack and Larry?
-
As I leave I'm all alone.
Bye till this afternoon.
-
Here I am!

Reading comments from last night.
TOD:
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......
I like a lot of the songs by Mr AJL.....but I REALLY like:
Wand'rin' Star.

Good morning!
-
Hi Kevin.
-
My county is still under a Winter Weather Advisory - but it is up to 13 degrees.
-
Morning, all!
TOD:
I'm sure there are a bunch of obscurities that I can't think of off the top of my head, but here goes:
* "Hurry It's Lovely Up Here"
* "I Talk to the Trees" (as done by the Smothers Brothers)
* "My Mother's Wedding Day"
* "Almost Like Being in Love"
* Everything from My Fair Lady, especially in Hebrew translation (and no, I'm not joking: there are actually TWO Hebrew cast recordings, each with its own charms)
Most shudder-inducing song: "Thank Heaven for Little Girls," which I heard played at a wedding as the flower-girl walked down the aisle

Not to put the quash on BK's "True Love," but the 12 Days of Christmas start on December 25, they don't end there. :)
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And it's snowing in Chicago and Richmond, but not in New York City.
-
Is anyone here conversant with Hispanic music, or even Spanish? I'm buying presents for a Hispanic man who wants music, and he put "Los Corridos" next to his request. There doesn't seem to be a band with that name, but a cursory search of eBay seems to indicate it may be a style, like hip hop? ??? Does anyone know?
-
DR vixmom - Hopefully, you did not have any ice to scrape off of your car's windshield this morning. Tomorrow morning, however, could be a different story.

When my family moved to Pennsauken, we had a pear tree in the back yard. What a mess it was! They were these hard, green pears that no one liked to eat except my dad, and I think he only pretended that he did. During the last week of August, they would begin dropping from the tree like leaves. And if they weren't picked up immediately, they would ripen overnight into a pulpy mess that would attract swarms of yellowjackets. Eventually, my dad relented to our complaints and took the hated tree down.

DR Dan wrote last night re: the preview for TAR 18 (next season):
But I don't understand why the need to bring back four teams from this past season, particularly the Tattoo Couple and the Father/(annoying)Daughter team. Also don't get the inclusion of the Goth team. But I am looking forward to the return of the Cowboys!
I'm not sure if you saw my post from last night. But I wrote that I was annoyed that CBS showed a lot of teams that people like (or in your case hate) who are not going to be on TAR 18. They made it seem like Brook and Claire would be on and showed them in the preview like 3 times!
I"m not 100% sure. But it seems like the cast for next season will be:
TAR 18- unfinished business
Kynt and Vyxsin
Amanda and Kris
Jaime and Cara
Kisha and Jen
Margie and Luke
Mel and Mike
Flight Time and Big Easy
Zev and Justin
Jet and Cord
Gary and Mallory

I cannot believe the problems I've had with my last order from Warner Archive.
???
They had a "Black Friday" 5 for $50.00 sale, so on 11/25 I put in an order, and they billed my credit card the same day.
:-\
The order was shipped on December 1st via UPS "Mail Innovations," which is supposed to deliver their packages to the destination city's post office.
I live in Austin, TX.
:)
On December 7th, my package was processed through the USPS in Cincinnati, OH.
???
On December 11th, it passed through the USPS in Des Moines, IA.
:o
Where it is today....?
:P
Warner Archive is now having the order duplicated and sent to me 2-day UPS.
That could take another 7-10 days.

Ah, that makes more sense then. I would have liked to see more Brook and Clair (the QVC women)
-
Keep getting better, Ben - more vibes to you from midtown
-
DR Jennifer - Is it really that big a deal that the producers of "TAR" showed some teams who may not be in "TAR 18" after all? -And is the list that you posted actually the "final" list? Even you note that you're not 100% sure.

Since the ON A CLEAR DAY drastically-revised version was expected to go from Vassar last summer to off-Broadway this fall, I'd done Alan Jay Lerner's ghost reacting to the overhaul
WHAT DID IT LACK THAT IT NOW HAS, the mellow vocal stylings of Mr. Jay-Lerner :)
parody of WHAT DID I HAVE THAT I DON'T HAVE

It's a little "inside" - but may be funny to people who know about all the changes the Lerner estate is allowing to his work the past few years.

Good morning, all! I slept 13 hours before I decided it was time to get out of bed and accomplish something, no matter how trivial it may be. I will not leave the house today but I am taking lots of vitamin C. Before I went to bed I tok a hefty sip of Nyquil which might account for so many peculiar dreams. In the last one, I was working for NPR on a coastal trip around the USA. I was working on a big band set every day to perform charts of songs pertaining to the States we were passing through.
I have to call Ron Raines today and ascertain that all went well with Jo Loesser's trek to the opera; I hated leaving her in the lurch. I've got some writing to do here, and that's my day.
JMK beat me to it, but, yes, the 12 days run Dec 25-Jan 6, BK.

ConEd is finishing(?) up the electrical work on the building next door, so...

Monday morning greetings! After sleeping quite late, I now have to do my basement walk. It may be a couple of days before I can exercise again, because I'm seeing a podiatrist this afternoon about a funky toenail and I'm apprehensive about what he's going to have to do to it. Surely he's seen other patients on as much blood thinning medication as I am, right?
-
LOL DR DRUXY.....I felt sort of like that cat the first time I listened to it
-
I think we used to dance the Funky Toenail at the disco.
-
DR JRand - ;D
-
From Jrand:
I think I wish I had a whiskey cabinet to clear out.
;D
Most of it is really left over from when we had business parties. There were a few duplicate, opened, bottles we combined and some got tossed. Now the challenge is to drink it all up before we move again. ;)
-
I remember the Captain and Toenail - any relation?
-
Thanks for watching that, JohnG
I found the extent of changes allowed by the Lerner estate surprising - but now we're hearing even the Gershwin estate is allowing rewrites on their work, too!
And as to the Michael Jackson estate!!!
-
Loving the orchestra fail links - were those set up, or did they happen by accident, I wonder.
-
From George:
Today, we had a matinee of "Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol." We had a great show and a good audience.
:)

Page 3 is soooooo close

And one for Marley

The cat one is very funny, sound alone just painful. It reminded me of why we stopped going to concerts by the local orchestra.

The first few years we lived here we enjoyed delicious pears from our own trees. Bryan made pear brandy or something from them one year. I miss those pears.

I wonder if Bryan made it to "school" today. The hospital he is currently doing a rotation at is an hour drive from his apartment in Chicago and there isn't a train that goes there. I worry about him driving his, my old, car in bad conditions.
-
Grrrrr. . .I set a bunch of stuff out to take with me on my travels this morning and now one (and only one) coupon I needed has disappeared. #_)($%*_W#)*(_!!!

I'm up, I'm up. Pretty day outside.

As to the twelve days of Christmas - I'm a Jew and I make my own rules.

I love AJL.
Aside from the usual suspects, I am VERY fond of "The Little Prince" (title song), "Closer and Closer" (sung by Gene Wilder in the film), and "Why is the Desert"?
-
Has anyone heard about this? Stephen Sondheim to Guest on "The Colbert Report" (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/145783-Stephen-Sondheim-to-Guest-on-The-Colbert-Report)!
I'll be watching!
-

Yeah, another Jew named Jesus or something like that made his own rules, too, and it didn't end well. ;)

And as to the Michael Jackson estate!!!
I can sort of understand revisal like "Crazy for You" if no one is going to revival "Girl Crazy." And I can even understand trying to take a different approach on "On a Clear Day ..." since the original book is a mess. But does it have to be so obvious? I guess that's what I object to.
-
Getting some much-needed cleaning done this morning. Now, if only I could keep at it for a few more weeks, this place should be better.
But I've had distractions, such as the bird biting a hole into my ear drops for this infection. Needless to say, he's enjoying an extended time out. Guess he likes the place messy.

Well to me it was a big deal because they implied that certain favorites would be back. I don't like when people show one thing and mean another . Even huge fans of the show were confused.
The list I posted is most likely correct. But I don't like to know spoilers about TAR. So i haven't really been reading comments about the season. But for the most part I think it's accurate.

Ah, that makes more sense then. I would have liked to see more Brook and Clair (the QVC women)
I would have loved to see them too. Although some people have said that Claire is pregnant now (Stephanie is for sure and married).
They are actually not from QVC or HSN. When they put them as "shopping hosts" I think most people assumed they worked on one of those channels. When the season first aired I looked them up. And I believe they both used to work for the Gem channel in San Diego.

At last! A check. Maybe I can finish up the holiday shopping.

Back from my podiatrist appointment, which was productive but uneventful. Richard and I went on to do some shopping and I'm OK to drive myself to tonight's AAUW meeting. I will contribute 2 cinnamon pecan coffee cakes (made with yogurt instead of sour cream) to the annual talent auction and
endure enjoy the entertainment by the high school chamber orchestra.

The new FF book has arrived. My, my, my, I certainly do "claim" many things, don't I? ::)

Afternoon all.
Back from a subdued day of work. I did things but Anthony moved boxes and helped a lot. Thanks to him for working so hard in my place.

Oooh, JR posted a clip of them this morning!!
-
I've shipped, I've eaten a sandwich and fries, I will soon jog, and I've answered a plethora of e-mails - additionally, a package that should have been here Saturday did not arrive today. This was shipped Priority on Friday along with another package (two from the same person) - shipped from about six miles from me. Package one arrived Saturday, so why didn't package two? The USPS, that's why - thoroughly inept and disgusting. Happily, it's insured and I've asked him to get me the tracking number so I can go be terse with someone.
-
Isn't that from something: Not much meat on her bones but what's there is terse
-
I don't know whether to be flattered or angered by this new FF book, which appropriates my research by the forklift-full. When does "fair use" become, um, "plagiarism"? ;)
JR, did you catch his error on the Mysteries & Scandals episode? He said it was Freeman's son, not Frank Farmer, who made the "speaking in tongues" quote.

My winter visitor buddy arrived and we had our first day of birding for this season. One of the first birds we saw this morning was a bald eagle. Hard to top that.

My friend in Pennsylvania has received good news and wonderful news. Her 9 pound 1 once grandson was born. Not only is he big but he has a full head of black hair.
The doctor doesn't think her tests showed anything serious. They will repeat one test in two months to check for growth plus tomorrow she will have a complete body bone scan. I'm relieved to hear the news and extra relieved bad news was not received on the same day as the baby's birth.

I am REALLY getting tired of showing the house to people who are, in effect, wasting my time. Oy, oy, oy.
-
I just spent DAYS with this idiot former school superintendent from Florida who told me flat out he would take the house, then came with his son-in-law, who rejected it because it's not in NE!!! If you want a house in NE Portland, what the frell are you doing looking at a house in the west hills? Aaaaarrrrgh.
-
I'd say 60-70% of the people who have contacted us are either in bankruptcy or have lost their homes to short sales or foreclosures. The ridiculous thing about the home losses is that everyone so far has had stable incomes. I guess they just overextended themselves and the banks wouldn't budge. Idiots.
-
I am very excited to be going to A Chorus Line tonight. From the minute I saw the trucks in the alley, I started having Chorus Line songs running through my head....ALL DAY.... I forgot how much I really love this show. I first saw it in London in June of 1977 and then I think I saw it in New York in 1978...I was thinking 1977, but now I'm not so sure. I know I saw some of the original cast. Then Jon and I saw the last night of previews of the revival. I realize this is a nonequity touring version, but it's still A Chorus Line.
-
Sutton Foster and Joel Grey in ANYTHING GOES? Isn't someone the wrong age for that show?
He's playing Moonface, I believe.
-
As I was leaving work (my office building is next door to the theater) I saw two guys going into the alley toward the stage door. I rolled down my window and shouted a break a leg. They turned around started laughing and said "Thanks" they were probably just delivering food, but it made me feel good

I've caught up on today's posts, I've read the notes for the past few days, but I don't have the patience to catch up with the posts. I'm sitting in a Starbucks doing email and listening to a geltoob of POTO with one Rebecca Luker as Christine and waiting for my next event (a penance service at 7:00) It's a lovely recording. At home I have 2 Krtizerland titles to upload into iTunes as well as bk's "Hollywood Christmas" that came in the mail also.
That's all I have

Glad to hear the good news, Jane.
more vibes to their family

FJL thank you for the continued vibes.

Since the folks on DataLounge say I write a parody at the appearance of the smallest story on Playbill. I couldn't disappoint them :)
Since Sutton Foster and Joel Grey will be doing FRIENDSHIP together in this version of ANYTHING GOES, this can be sung to the tune of FRIENDSHIP:
[SUTTON]
If you ever stage a play, just get Grey
If you ever write a show, let him know
If you ever have a scene that you want stole,
call on Joel
Love his fan-base, fan-base,
His who-cares-if-they-pan base,
When other fan-bases run away
His is here to stay!
(Give a wilkommen and bienvenu)
[JOEL]
If want them all to cheer, Sutton’s here
If you want them to applaud, call that broad
If it’s hokey and the writers need a pal,
Call this gal
Her fan-base, fan-base,
It’s no also-ran-base,
When other fan-bases give you hell
Hers is always swell!
(Give her, give her that thing called love)
[BOTH]
Your fan-base, fan-base
I am in your fan-base
Where other fan-bases ain’t much fun
Ours will make us run
[JOEL]
It’s “astonishing” what she can do
[SUTTON]
Another wilkommen and bienvenu
[to themselves]
I have gotta steal this scene from you.

Very funny. I will sleep better tonight knowing that they will not be playing lovers.

TCB - Darn, you quoted before I did my rewrite! :)

And since when does the woman playing Lucy (not that Lucy, Jrand) get top billing over the title actor in DRACULA?
-
TCB - Darn, you quoted before I did my rewrite! :)
I don't know what you are talking about, Fred.

So cute! :D
Thank you, George, I think you are cute, too.

Nope...we have one more weekend.

Great news from DR Jane's friend in PA!

I've caught up on today's posts, I've read the notes for the past few days, but I don't have the patience to catch up with the posts. I'm sitting in a Starbucks doing email and listening to a geltoob of POTO with one Rebecca Luker as Christine and waiting for my next event (a penance service at 7:00) It's a lovely recording. At home I have 2 Krtizerland titles to upload into iTunes as well as bk's "Hollywood Christmas" that came in the mail also.
That's all I have
DR Matthew, I have the patience to read yours! :)
YAY! THE CLOSER is on!
-
Well, I'm going home now.
Until later!
-
Just had to share. :)
-
I've been told by paypal that the jerk seller who refuses to communicate has initiated a refund - great. Only I wanted the item - I talked to paypal and all I could find out is that he called them and initiated the refund, which will be in my account on Wednesday. No reasons, no excuses, no nothing. My feeling is someone else got to him and offered more, or he didn't have the item at all.

Great news from DR Jane's friend in PA!
It has been a good day.

I also received a good report at the dentist. The three of us went together to get our teeth cleaned. It is nice to go to an office with three dental hygienist. Yogi waited in the car for us while Sherlock stayed home.

I didn't mean to offend anyone on this site with my "patience" comment. Sometimes it's hard to concentrate on anything And at the moment, it was catching up on the posts.

Good Evening!
Well... It looks like ConEd hooked up a few more wires to the place next door. Alas, those new wires are still running from a hole in the street, across the sidewalk (there's a "hump" covering them) and through their front door... ???
In any case...

It's snowing!

We were spared the "entertainment" tonight, because the rule is if school's out due to weather there are no extracurriculars. The high school chamber orchestra was not allowed to perform tonight.

I wasn't offended, but I was calling you on it! I will admit that I gloss over posts in catching up at times, but I don't recall ever missing a day's posts since 2004.

DR Jane - Wonderful Double Doubly-Good News about and for your Friend!
:) I have had too many scares with her and she has had to suffer to much from this. All this suffering could have been prevented had her doctor suggested a colonoscopy when she turned 50.

lol I should have read before commenting.

DR Jennifer - Is it really that big a deal that the producers of "TAR" showed some teams who may not be in "TAR 18" after all? -And is the list that you posted actually the "final" list? Even you note that you're not 100% sure.
Well to me it was a big deal because they implied that certain favorites would be back. I don't like when people show one thing and mean another . Even huge fans of the show were confused.
The list I posted is most likely correct. But I don't like to know spoilers about TAR. So i haven't really been reading comments about the season. But for the most part I think it's accurate.
DR Jennifer - Well... Then why did you even bother tracking down that list in the first place? Just wait for the first episode to air to see who the teams are. This way you won't be disappointed. Right?
I do understand that you're a big fan of the show, but each new season of a show means that the producers need to generate some new buzz. -And if that involves showing clips of teams who may not be competing, well... -I'm also guessing that they're still filming this season, and they really can't show any clips of any of the challenges that have been completed so far. So, just treat that "preview" as more of a "teaser". -And then just wait until February. -And by that time, most people probably will have forgotten which teams appeared in that teaser anyway. ;)
-

Whew!

-
Sutton Foster and Joel Grey in ANYTHING GOES? Isn't someone the wrong age for that show?
He's playing Moonface, I believe.
DR TCB - What DR elmore said.
:)
-
DR Cillaliz - I hope you're having/had a good time at A Chorus Line tonight. My parents saw the show/tour in Richmond a few weeks ago and loved it. -And Baayork is really happy with this cast too.
-
DR JohnG - A bird in your ear? ???
-
DR Jose, are any PBS channels in NYC showing Lidia Bastianich's Christmas special: Nonna Tell Me A Story? I caught it last night on NJN. Lidia gets animated and sings!
Sì!
I believe she also just did a signing at Border's in Columbus Circle, and, apparently, there are some "Saturdays with Nonna" planned at Eataly.
-
and endure enjoy the entertainment by the high school chamber orchestra.
Oooh, JR posted a clip of them this morning!!
;D
-
DR Jane - Can Sherlock still fit in that "tunnel"? ;)
-
I think I might have figured out what's wrong. I will call the doctor tomorrow and try to get an appointment but if I can't get one I will go to urgent care.
I think I have an abdominal hernia.
Everything I've googled about my symptoms (I hate to make a diagnosis not being a doctor and all) makes me believe this. Now, I just need to find out if I need immediate treatment. There is nothing to "push in" with gentle pressure, at least not that I can feel, so I'll wait for the doctor tomorrow or Wednesday or Thursday.
-
DR FJL - "Another wilkommen and bienvenu" :) -Bravo!

Then that could mean it is in the early stages making a diagnosis difficult. That is what happened to our friend anyway. Fortunately he returned to the doctor when he felt something.

DR Ben - If you happen to be running a low-grade fever, you should probably get to someone sooner rather than later. I have two friends who recently thought they were dealing with a hernia, and it turned out they both had appendicitis. And my brother, Don, went through the same thing a couple of years ago.

HEALTH VIBES FOR DR BEN!!!!

Very true. I forgot you had been running a fever. Do you still have one? Low grade fevers shouldn't be taken lightly.

As soon as THE CLOSER ends, I am off to bed. Good night, all!

Barefoot guy across the street: I broke both my legs!
Me: Recently?
Barefoot guy across the street: Five months ago! I'm jogging! (Yells at his dog in German and runs across the street) She only speaks German but she never listens. See my scars?
Me: Wow. Is jogging really a good idea?
Barefoot guy: Yeah. I'm going surfing tomorrow. Are you from Arizona?
Me: Yes.
Barefoot guy: So am I. (whispering) I'm leaving tomorrow. I can't let anybody else hear because it's a secret.
Who was he afraid would overhear this secret? The dog? She only speaks German, and besides, she never listens.
Show your work.

I am being inundated with new members joining this here site, each and every one a spambot - I don't understand it - what if I was to approve them all, then what? They're not real. I just delete them as fast as they come.
-
Slow.
-
Really slow - and not the site, but Time Warner, who seem to be having endless problems these days in LA.
-
DR SANDRA just won the award for Existential Post of The Day.
-
MR BK - I think you are correct.....someone offered him more money......it's like some of the messages I get.....sorry, I am out of stock on that item.
Then why the heck are you selling it on EBAY?
-
Page Seven PCPH Mask Dance. ;D
-
You could not pay ME enough money to see Joel Grey play Moonface Mullins.
-
It's sort of like when Tony Randall had his own theater company and decided at nearly 80 he would play one of the leads in THREE MEN ON A HORSE.
-
There comes a time......when time must be honored....or at least respected.
-
DR JMK - at least you were acknowledged here and there - although he had some different ideas on things. He messed my name up completely a few times and assumed a few things incorrectly.
-
Watching Beverly Washburn play a sexy wench opposite Dick Davalos in Jack Hill's THE WINNER.....made in 1967 and released in 1969. It's a Jack Hill picture so it also features Sid Haig.....
Not a bad little picture.....lots of figure eight stock car racing......and Ellen MacRae as the wife of another racer.....before she was Ellen Burstyn.
-
Wow it's all me on Page Seven. I hope the guests like it.
-
I just ordered the Complete Epic Recordings of Sal Mineo.
Merry Christmas to me.

I will stop now.
Take it away......someone...............

Umm... Hmmm... Well....
That was the mask that was on the mantelpiece in BLITHE SPIRIT last summer - handmade mosaic stained glass, very nice.

DR Jose - I did love the show and the cast is very strong. The audience was a bit strange. Just really quiet. I think people were enjoying the show, but they didn't seem to show it. I don't think they realized the bows are the bows...or something.
-
Or perhaps they were looking for Brian Boitano and the skaters. There was an announcement welcoming them to the performance and telling everyone to buy tickets. I'm wondering if ticket sales are slow, I've been hearing over and over and over that we should all go buy tickets.
-
And I didn't need to look for them....they were two rows in front of me! I recognized Brian and Yuka Sato, and maybe Michael Weiss. not sure. There were a few others but not sure who they were in their street clothes. They are here practicing until the show on Thursday.
-
It looked like a full house tonight. I really don't like the sound through the board in the Orpheum. The sound is perfect in there without the mixing, with it, it's always a little muffled or something.
-
Here's the page for the Brian Boitano show. it will be telecast on Dec 26. http://www.dissonskating.com/shows/2010/musselmans-apple-sauce-presents-brian-boitano-skating-spectacular/ (http://www.dissonskating.com/shows/2010/musselmans-apple-sauce-presents-brian-boitano-skating-spectacular/)
I'm in the third row and I'm afraid I'm a little too close to the band.
-
Ryan Bradley may have been at the show tonight too.
-
I'm glad you enjoyed "A Chorus Line," Cillaliz.
-
Maybe all the spambots are slowing you down
-
DR Jane, great photos of Sherlock....is it his birthday?
-
Vibes to all who need them
-
DR JohnG - A bird in your ear? ???
What can I say? He's more calm tonight. And that's good for me.
-
Great "Friendship" parody lyrics.
My problem with the casting extends beyond Joel Grey to Sutton herself. I don't picture her as Reno. Reno is brassier than perky Sutton. I'm sure she can sing the songs well, but, then again, so could Brett Barrett, but I don't want to see him as Reno either.
-
I just ordered the Complete Epic Recordings of Sal Mineo.
With or without Bobby Sherman?
-
BK, what was the item?
-
Has anyone mentioned THE ZULU AND THE ZAYDA is available on CD-R now from Arkiv? This is one of the very last Columbia cast albums that hadn't seen the CD (or CD-R) light of day. I can only think of a handful, all of which would be perfect Kritzerland releases.
-
Just popped in "Christmas in Connecticut." Another Christmas picture with Jerome Moross orchestrating the music.

Hope Santa brings me a copy of that one. I have it on vinyl, but it got damaged when my house flooded.

Ballerina Jenifer Ringer....
too skinny, too fat, or just right?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20101213/us_yblog_thelookout/sugar-plum-fairy-doesnt-want-apology-from-critic-who-called-her-fat
The critic didn't call her too fat, just said she'd looked like she ate one sugar plum too many, and he also called a male dancer too fat, but no one's making a fuss over that.
But since Ringer has suffered from anorexia in the past, it was a rather cruel thing to say.
I wonder ow many girls are going to develop anorexia once Michele Obama's school program gets going.
