Ah - yes THE PALM BEACH STORY....all those lines AND this one to Mary Astor:

"I love that hat on you, it makes you look like you have a chin."

Dear BK, I recommend you TUMI’s overnight bag. The brand is well-known for good travel stuffs, as many DRs may know, with various types of bag and trunk. Their goods will fulfill your requirements, I think.

DR JRand, I like Page Two Dance. CUTE!

Good morning, all!

Each female creature whom I teach
Develops delicate, dainty, shapely speech
And a verbal style as lurid as you've ever known.
For a more than ordinary glorious vocabulary
Is a very very necessary thing to own

Her adjectives are very fine,
The only things she ever will decline.
There'll be no dangling proposition with a girl of mine,
And to use the double negative disturbs her slumber so
That no girl of mine has ever said no twice in a row.
Men stare but she's quite unaware
As she chooses her words with scrofulous care.
Each female creature whom I teach
Develops delicatre, dainty, shapely speech
And the skill to be illicit when she's grown fullblown.
For a more than ordinary, glorious vocabulary
Is a very very necessary thing to own.

I will try to see some of Wall to Wall Sondheim but I have another engagement on the evening of March 19th, Dear Penny O's show!

I'm sure that there will be some kind of recording although I doubt that the ENTIRE evening will be on CD. The entire thing may be recorded for posterity but things like the interview segments probably won't make it to sale.

Saw Spamalot last night. It's crazy, absurd, rude and over the top fun. If you like the movie, I think you'll like the show. If you didn't like the movie, then you should probably not see it. They have put whole scenes from the movie right there on stage at the Shubert, things like the French Taunter (I fart in your general direction), the Black Knight (it's only a flesh wound), the Knights Who Say Ni (ni, ni, ni) and other new stuff. David Hyde Pierce has a great number about how to succeed in New York on Broadway. It's running for another few weeks in previews and then will open, I think, to very good reviews. Michael Shayne, unless you know someone you will most likely have to pay full price for your ticket (not that there is anything wrong with that) since it's one of the few shows not on TKTS. I predict it will be the big hit of the season. I just hope it doesn't push Dirty Rotten Scoundrels under because that show opens tomorrow and I think it's just as deserving of attention with some great comic performances by Norbert Leo Butz, Joanna Gleason and Gregory Jbara, as well as John Lithgow and Sherie Rene Scott.

Anyway, I have no questions at the moment and I need to get to work.

Later, gaters.

When did Sony buy BMG? Wow! What catalogue! Both companies produced the majority of the cast albums over the years. It will be interesting to see what they do with their newly expanded catalogues.

When I mentioned (in jest) yesterday that the Christian right could go after Bambi for sleeping with Faline without benifit of marriage and then the breakdown of the Fantasia sequences by S Wood White downright scary. That if you look close enough at anything you can find objectionable material.

I list S. Woody White's lst again.

Fantasia is the worst film Disney ever made!

It starts out all right, with that Tocatta and Fugue by Bach. But then the nasty stuff gets going.

The Nutcracker Suite contains nudity!

The Sorcerer's Apprentice is all about witchcraft!

Evolution is preached during The Rite of Spring!

The Pastoral Symphony exposes us to pagan mythology!

The Dance of the Hours is an ode to beastiality!

The Devil himself is celebrated during Night on Bald Mountain!

But the worst is saved for last, with Ave Maria. Yes, my brothers and sisters, we are reduced to...papism!

Oh, the shame, the shame.

Pinocchio:

Why would a single old man want to have a pre-adolescent BOY? You can read a lot into that. Maybe that is why this is one of Michael Jackson's favorite stories.

DR MBarnum: I should say Akira Kobayashi has a high tone voice which is ill-matched to MITE-GUY, and you will feel his individual singing vioce to be somewhat strange. Hope you’ll enjoy his CD in any case.

Regarding the question of the day:

1940s ties. I have a whole box full. I used to wear them quite often about 4 or 5 years ago..such great colors and art deco designs...but I don't wear ties as much anymore, for some reason the older I get the more uncomfortable ties feel...so, I still hold onto them as they are so beautiful...but there they sit..in a box in the closet...about 60 or 70 of them!

They used to garner quite a premium price on Ebay, but now not so much.

Oh, baby PUPPIES!!!

I would love to have a dog again... finally got over 7 years of grief for my dear departed George. Some day, when I don't live in my car, I NEED another dawg. Dang! That puppy is cute. Love them puppies!!!!

AMAZING RACE TALK!

Wow, what a great season premiere. I loved it!
My favorites are Rob and Amber. But I see a few other teams to cheer for. And some I will surely dislike. Didn't care for the team who got eliminated.

Btw, one comment. How stupid can any team be to just start digging in a pile WITHOUT looking at what times are available. Those teams deserve to lose. Totally stupid (except for the one team who was lied to).

Good Morning!

I'm up!

And now I must putter around the apartment for a bit, then make a quick trip to the grocery store, then fill my gas tank, then get on 95S to 85S to 40W to Exit 217. -It's actually one big diagonal from my apartment!

Laters...

I often use this malaprop I learned from Slip Mahoney:
"It's an optical delusion!"

And I often use, 'Hey! I resemble that remark!"
same source I believe

S. Woody White · « **Reply #53 on:** March 02, 2005, 08:01:22 AM »

I believe I've misspelled his name, and der Brucer has picked up on the misspelling. His name should be spelled Benedick, with a "k" at the end instead of a "t". His full name should be Benedick William Shakespaw.

(Yes, I now believe dogs should be given full names. Calling our terrier Michael Augustus Snips had a distinct advantage when he was little, because after yelling out his full name when he'd misbehaved, it was impossible to scold him much more - I was simply too winded!)

For years, THE PALM BEACH STORY was the one famous Sturges picture I hadn't seen, and I kept missing it every time it came on TV.

Finally, the public library downtown had a Sturges festival, and I first saw TPBS in 16mm in their small theater. Absolutely loved it. I've seen it several times since then and always find it monumentally entertaining.

The soap opera I watch, ONE LIFE TO LIVE, features actress Ilene Kirsten whose character Roxie speaks one malaprop after another. They use her sparingly, but it's always a treat when she's on because everything that comes out of her mouth is priceless.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #56 on:** March 02, 2005, 08:10:42 AM »

Here's a question for one (our esteemed) and all (everyone else):

What smells make you nausious?

Puppy poop does not make me nausious, for example. But I cannot stand the smell of gin. (This is particularly awkward, because der B loves a good gin martini, two olives please. $:-\$ )

Matt H. · « **Reply #57 on:** March 02, 2005, 08:15:58 AM »

The Sondheim sings series sounds very intriguing, and I'll look forward to getting it. I've always thought his rendition of "Anyone Can Whistle" on that first celebration of his work is among the best and most heartfelt recordings of that song.
