“When hiking in the woods wear noisy little bells to alert bears to your presence and carry pepper spray. Be on the lookout for bear tracks and feces. Black bear feces are small, contain lots of berries, and, occasionally, squirrel fur. Grizzly bear droppings are large, have little bells in it, and smell like pepper.”[/size]
OH!
Only because I have to check out a few places and run a few errands in various parts of the island next week... If any of the Hainsies and Kimlets coming in next week would like to do a supplemental tour of either Central Park, Fifth Avenue (I have to look for a gift at Takashimaya), and/or Harlem, feel free to contact me.
I am so excited about the season premiere of VERONICA MARS tonight. Other than LOST and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, I am anticipating this more than any other returning shows.
Oh to me it is the MOST anticipated show of the season. I just can't believe that I will have to wait until Saturday to watch it. :(
The paper here has a tv write-up for that night. And they vaguely mentioned some things that sound VERY interesting about tonight's show!
So Dan which team did you hate? The Jersey team with the loud mother and the two bratty teens? I didn't care for them. Or the team with the little girl.
A write-up in my local paper about tonight's premiere also included the identity of the murderer in the first season. That made me mad. Some people who did not watch the series last season are waiting for the VERONICA MARS DVDs which won't be out until the next month or so, and if they read that article, might feel like there is no reason to watch now. There are plenty of other mysteries, of course, but that still was thoughtless of that writer who didn't NEED to mention the denouement.
Are they from Jersey? I thought they were from Brooklyn. In any case, yes--them! Ugh! Unpleasantness to the Nth degree! And most likely they were chosen as contestants for just that reason. I pity their cameraman--I would hate to be stuck in the same room with these people, let alone a small space like the vehicles they used last night.
I didn't like the family with the little girl when they talked about themselves during the intros. They came off like their family was the Incredibles. But during the race I didn't think they were as annoying as I thought they would be. The kids acted like kids and the parents were focused on the tasks on hand. But like I said, my opinion might change as each team gets more and more camera time in each episode.
Mr question for ASK BK day.
What six 45 RPM records would you put on your permanent phonograph?
Ask BK...
Have you ever wanted to see one of your musicals translated into another language? If so, which show and which language/country (if you have a preference)?
And out of your current stock of OCRs in other languages, any favorites?
OH... Another Ask BK...
If - and this is a BIG IF - you were in a movie musical, and the studio decided to bring in someone to dub your voice (for whatever fershluganah reason), who would you most like them to bring in (to sound like)?
Q for BK: Who are your favorite one-hit wonders?
It just seemed to me that the little kids did not offer much and could not contribute. And of course they were all sleeping after 5 minutes!
Slow Day at HHW!
Skammen!
Back to work for me!
Have I used enough exclamation points???!!!
Uh oh! I guess you can use too many exclamation points--my last post is broken--there's no "quote", "Modify" or "Delete" buttons on it.
Dan broke the HHW site!
Dan broke the HHW site !
I'm tellin'! I'm tellin'!
As you may know, the fall is the time the bears are getting ready for hiberantion. For any one planning on going hiking in the woods to see the glorious colors (colours for you Canadians and Austrailians amongst us) of the changing leaves here is an important safety reminder:
DR MBARNUM the only "scary" movie my Dollar Store had was House on Haunted Hill/The Bat which I already have. Some new cartoons but no other new live action DVD's. They must keep all the good ones in Oregon.
I think we are going to get a new dog today.
Michael B. if you do see Pavilion you will be seeing a minor hit, at least according to Playbill On-Line. The run has been extended.
Here's a link to the article:

There is also a nice picture of the cast with the article.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/WandaDuck/rhoda.jpg)Dan! Wherever did you find my elementary school class picture?
You...better..NOT TELL!!!
We returned home to find a very large bear had been feasting on our fruit trees. We aren't sure how it got in but know where it pushed its way out through the fence. We know it was a very large bear by the elephant sized bear scat.
At least he's now regular....there's a blessing for the bear, which probably desperately needed some fruit to aid in his BM.
Traveling vibes for DR elmore, who will probably be home by the time he sees this!
My question for bk - and any others who might like to chime in: How would one go about developing a one-person performance (a la The Belle of Amherst) based on a literary figure?
I have heard a rumor that it is possible to convert your region specific DVD player to play DVDs from all regions.
Does anyone know if this is true or just a lie to make gullible and techoignorant people (like me) destroy their DVD players by fiddling withhe innards?

Well, now, that just wrecks havok with that age old question "Does a bear sh*t in the woods?"
I watched "Commander in Chief" last night and it was riveting. Geena Davis is a marvel.
BK - Rupert Holmes' follow-up song "Him" also got a lot of airplay, and it's one of my all-time favorite pop songs. I don't know how that song sold, though.
Yesterday Jose posted Danise, the Vixter & I plan to "do" Central Park on Tuesday the 4th. It would be wonderful to have you join us.
I just received a call from my dad. It sounds like I may have to go home at a moment's notice as my grandmother's health is rapidly deteriorating. She's in the ICU right now and according to my dad, my grandfather has instructed them not to use any life support should she require it. She's nearly 84 years old and they've been married for over 60 years.
Please keep her and my family in your thoughts and prayers if you go for that sort of thing. Thanks...

Is this a slow news day here at haineshisway.com? All right, who is the culprit? Who are the errant and truant so that I may write their names down and put them in one of those blocks like they used to put people in in the town square - what are those called?
We SEEM to be missing input from one DR JoseSPiano!!!
I blame Jose
I don't normally announce by television viewing habits, but I am looking forward to episode 2 of Lost and part two of the story arc on Law and Order. Both shows are well written, acted and entertaining.

I have heard a rumor that it is possible to convert your region specific DVD player to play DVDs from all regions.There should be a code to be able to do this. Our retailers would just provide the code I think. Manufacturers/importers in the USA have conned the USA public. I suspect most players are imported and indeed would have this code! Even Cheap DVD players here (about $50 USA) are multizone.
Does anyone know if this is true or just a lie to make gullible and techoignorant people (like me) destroy their DVD players by fiddling withhe innards?
I am eagerly awaiting a new dog report.
I spy me an Elmore! Welcome home!
Hi elmore. I welcomed you earlier. You will have to go back and read my post. :)
I am really not looking forward to getting on a plane again or staying in one more hote. I am however getting very excited to meet so many of you in person and to revisit with other.
DR Elmore, what did you mean when you said you wished you had asked the students questions instead of them asking you?
Didn't they ask good questions?
Good to have you Back DR Elmore. (Not that you were really away!).
Any sign of aliens invading New York?
Call me Chicken Filet: Run for your lives! The pond is falling.I needed a laugh this morning. Thank you DR Elmore.
I'm sure he'd be here if he could...must be "auditions from hell" day for him...he was posting a bit this morning before leaving for work.
"Him" made Billboard's #6. He was no one hit wonder!
"Answering Machine" also made the top 40.
He also made the top 40 with "Jennifer Tomkins" as lead singer for Street People.
Well, DR Elmore, I'm still trying to figure out how you can write for an instrument you don't know how to play. How do you know what it will sound like? ??? :D
Pippin is asleep now but had a very confusing day, I am sure. But he seems pleased to be in a house with NO OTHER DOGS.

I worked on a tax return tonight. It too was a superlative effort, as imaginative as any TV show has ever been. :)
Forgive me if I post just for posting's sake. I see post #400 coming close in the distance. I'm almost 80% of a God.
I don't wanna go to the stocks! Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against bondage...but no stocks! :D
Here's where I play smart and don't say a word.Not just tongue-tied!
But as all of you Gods are my witness, I will be an HHW God by the time of the HHW dinner on Oct. 5th.
