Title: A DAY WHEN YOU'D LIKE TO EAT THE HEAD OF A CHICKEN
Post by: bk on August 16, 2018, 12:14:14 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes wanted to eat the head of a chicken, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're concerned because the chickens have had a bad day and want to eat the head of a cow.

To recap from yesterday, TCB and I wrote:
Quote
The smoke was so thick today, that it hurt to be outside.

It was visually noticeable to me, but I didn't feel like it affected my breathing.

Maybe I'm floating in De Nile, but it really just seemed warm.  I didn't have a problem breathing, at all.  And I did go outside several times yesterday.

Last night, the final dress rehearsal for Legally Blonde went really well.  They started later than they wanted, so they didn't get through the whole show.  Tonight, they'll start from where they left off, then go through the whole show.

I'm ALMOST officially done with props.  I just need to bring a couple of paper bags, then that will be it!  When [SPOILERS] Elle buys Emmett a new suit and he wears the new suit out of the store, he needs to take his old clothes with him, so that's what the bags are for. :)

Get out of there, DR vixmom ASAP!  That work relationship has gone to hell.  He may need you, but you do not need him. Take a couple of "sick days" and call around and do some networking for another job that will not be such hell.

On that date Elvis died , my boyfriend of 2 years left for college in Missouri from when he never returned, and my then boss came in and announced the store I was working in was closing effective immediately and we spent most of the day packing boxes and moving merchandise into a truck until the sheriff came and evicted us for nonpayment of rent

Title: Re: A DAY WHEN YOU'D LIKE TO EAT THE HEAD OF A CHICKEN
Post by: vixmom on August 16, 2018, 04:36:31 AM
things I learned today:

Each year on August 16th, you will find people at amusement parks and theme parks across the country participating in National Roller Coaster Day.  J.G. Taylor received one of the earliest patents for an inclined railway in 1872.  In 1878, Richard Knudsen received a patent for an inclined-plane railway.  For years, history has believed the first roller coaster in America opened at Coney Island on June 16, 1884.  Thanks to the digital age and many archived news papers being digitized, and article was discovered reporting the anticipated excitement of J.G. Taylor’s elevated railway in 1872 at Rocky Point, Rhode Island. According to the Providence Evening Press from June 18, 1872, the reporter describes a ride of 400 feet where nine passengers are given a shove and gravity does the rest.  The oldest roller coasters are believed to have originated from the so-called “Russian Mountains.”  Built in the 17th century, these were specially constructed hills of ice that were located near Saint Petersburg, Russia.  The slides were made to a height of 70 to 80 feet consisting of a 50-degree drop and were reinforced by wooden supports.  A roller coaster consists of one or multiple cars on a track, similar to a specialized railroad system that rises in designed patterns, sometimes with one or more vertical loops.

National Rum Day is observed annually on August 16.  Rum is a distilled clear alcoholic beverage which is a byproduct of molasses production or made directly from sugar cane juice.  After the fermentation and distillation process, most rum is aged in wooden oak barrels.  Followed by the vodka and all the whiskeys combined, rum is the third most popular spirit in the United States. It stirs up images of sandy beaches and brightly colored umbrellas in fruity drinks.  And it should.  It is a sweet spirit and originated in sunny Papua New Guinea.  It made its way to the Caribbean by way of the West Indies. 

What would be better than a day filled with laughter? National Tell a Joke Day is observed annually on August 16th, and that’s no joke!   This day will be filled with smiles and much laughter from morning till night as everyone shares their favorite jokes.  The more jokes you tell, the more fun you will have and so will those around you.  A joke is described as something that is spoken, written or done with humorous intention.  They can come in many forms.  On National Tell a Joke Day, try a one-liner or a knock-knock joke if you aren’t comfortable with the whole comedic act that can be involved in the short story versions.  Some simply rely on gestures to express humor.   With humor, timing and delivery can be an essential element.  Without it, the joke will fall flat.  Be sure to know the audience.  Clown jokes may not go over well at a phobia convention.  In moderation, laughter is healthy, uses the abdominal muscles and releases endorphins (natural “feel good” chemicals) into the brain.

National Airborne Day is observed each year on August 16.   Designated by the United States Congress, National Airborne Day honors the nation’s airborne divisions of the Armed Forces.  National Airborne Day was created in 2001 by 43rd United States President, George W. Bush.  August 16, 1940, marks the date of the first official Army parachute jump at Ft. Benning, Georgia. The successful jump validated the innovative concept of inserting United States ground combat forces behind a battle line by parachute. These sky soldiers represent some of the most prestigious and effectively trained forces in the United States Army.



In 1829, The original Siamese twins, Eng and Chang, arrived in Boston.

In 1948, Baseball legend Babe Ruth died in New York City at age 53.

In 1968, The Jackson Five made their formal debut with Diana Ross and The Supremes at the Great Western Forum, California.

In 1969, Hippie leader Abbie Hoffman was knocked offstage by Pete Townshend while attempting to make a political statement during The Who's set at Woodstock. Later, Townshend said he didn't know it was Hoffman at the time.

In 1970, This week's UK Top 5 singles: No.5, Free, 'All Right Now', No.4, Shirley Bassey, 'Something', No.3, Hotlegs, 'Neanderthal Man', No.2, The Kinks, 'Lola' and No.1, Elvis Presley, 'The Wonder Of You', (his 16th UK No.1).

In 1977, Elvis Presley died at Graceland, his Memphis,Tenn., home, from heart failure at age 42.

In 1979, The biggest single of the summer in the US, The Knack's 'My Sharona' was awarded a Gold record for selling one million copies.

In 1986, Madonna started a two week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Papa Don't Preach.'

In 1997,  Will Smith started a four-week run at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'Men In Black' taken from the film of the same name.

Happy Birthday to Madonna (60), Steve Carell (56), Cameron Monaghan (25), Evanna Lynch (27), James Cameron (64), Kathie Lee Gifford (65), and Julie Newmar (84).

BK - thinking still of that beautiful lyric yesterday. 

It's great that Doug can read you well enough to know that in some cases, bugging you can lead to something terrific; it's hard to tell when bugging a collaborator can cause wonderful work vs. when it can just make someone feel bugged.  Sounds like a special working relationship.

TOD:
I'm too young to remember Herb Alpert, but I do remember Chuck Mangione who had his hit, "Feels So Good" in 1977. It's funny, since the song has no lyrics, I never knew the title until I had to look it up to type this post this morning. I liked the song, but not enough to buy it. I think there's been a lot more country/pop cross-over artists than jazz/pop artists. And in fact, I've been told that's all country music is now - it's all country/pop cross-over.

I think this qualifies as crossover, Santana with Rob Thomas and "Smooth"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Whgn_iE5uc

It was the #1 song that brought music from the 1990s to the 2000s, the way IIRC Rupert Holmes had brought the 1970s to the 1980s.  It felt significant while it was going on at the time  - though for many just a statistic now.

Strange that so many people are telling Aretha Franklin stories that they think are endearing, but seem so odd, like when she held up a show with so many performers and hundreds of people waiting until cash was brought right away before she'd go out.

I had a very wonderful and interesting Restaurant Week lunch today at Nonna, the restaurant run by Luca Della Casa, whom you may or may not remember from Food Network Star.

The first course was a lovely salad of local field greens, followed by pickled chicken-fried steak (yes, you read that right) and then tiramisu.

The steak was made, then priced and served with pickles in a pungent garlic aioli with a bright arugula salad with it. Really good.

My friend had a fried cheese salad, which only had a little fried cheese on it, but plenty of heirloom tomatoes that were of such a perfect flavor they didn't need salt. (And I salt everything.)

Quote
The smoke was so thick today, that it hurt to be outside.

It was visually noticeable to me, but I didn't feel like it affected my breathing.

Maybe I'm floating in De Nile, but it really just seemed warm.  I didn't have a problem breathing, at all.  And I did go outside several times yesterday.


George, not everyone suffers from breathing problems.  Be grateful that you don’’t.  I didn’t have much problem until I got older.  Most of the customers at The Ram on Wednesday passed on sitting on the deck, in spite of the warm temperatures.

I and another volunteer (a friend whom I haven seen in several years) counted the number of people who came in.  Kyle, the managing director of the theater company, wants to compare the door count that we came up with (281) against the number that the ticket sellers tells them that came through the door. ::)

I guess there have been discrepancies in the past and not in favor of the theater group renting the space.

The surprising thing is that she is engaged with a guy we went to high school with together.

Congrats to them both!

Fox should not be allowed to be called "News" - the word "News" should not appear in conjunction with the word Fox.

Exactly!!

So, FOX News honored Aretha Franklin by running a picture of Patti LaBelle. Figures.

Did they have a problem with each other?  Watch at 12 seconds in when Patti LaBelle tries to reach out to Aretha Franklin.

Sounds like the makings of a song...

Chocolate mousse and angel hair
Nice decorations everywhere
The many things that show they care
I've looked at work that way.

But sometimes -   AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I've looked at work from both sides now...

Very funny, Fred! :))

To continue with the idiocy that is Fox News, on "Fox and Friends," those idiots announced that in WW 2, Americans fought  Japanese communists.  Japan was never communist, but Fox News remains ever moronic.

To quote the song, "Don't know much about history..." but at least I knew that the Japanese weren't communists! :-\


The Communist emperor, you know?

One tiny little tidbit of a nugget of something that I remembered from school.

Twisted Nerve has finished playing and now it's Vertigo, the soundtrack recording.  I don't know what's with the Varese Sarabande version of the actual soundtrack but it's terrible compared to the original Mercury/Philips CD release, which has no problems at all save for no real low end.

I also love the James Conlon complete recording, but none of the re-recordings, whether complete or otherwise, gets the tempos right, especially on the main title.

What ever happened to Eric Carmen - he was so popular for a short time and then nothing.
