Haines His Way

How do you peopel "double quote" ?  Sometimes I see two differnt posats quoted inthe same post but I dunno how to do it (see above for abject failure)

HI all!  I made it!  It looks like my wireless network does indeed work inside the building!  Hoo and Ray!

I will gladly make you a copy as I watch the BL for you, VixMom.  It may not go out in the mail until Saturday--I'll need to get to the post office.

I love the doggie picture.  Humm, looks a lot like someone I know.....  More on that later.

Now that I've finished THE DA VINCI CODE, I do not understand why the Catholic Church has its panties in a bunch.  To say more would reveal spoilers, but I thought the book was a great amusement park ride and I enjoyed it a lot.

Because all the crictics and screamers of "Blasphemy!!" haven't actually READ the book as  they fear it may somehow damage their tiny little minds

Danise your "in box" is full!! You popular thing you!!

Come To The East Coast All You West Coast HHWr's!!!

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - In another in a series of notable pronouncements, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson says God told him storms and possibly a tsunami will hit America's coastline this year.

Robertson has made the predictions at least four times in the past two weeks on his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network, which he founded.

Robertson said the revelations about this year's weather came to him during his annual personal prayer retreat in January.

"If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms," Robertson said May 8. On Wednesday, he added, "There well may be something as bad as a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest."


Robertson has come under intense criticism in recent months for suggesting that American agents should assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution for Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip.

Re: the tasks in TAR being physical vs mental.

I actually like the hippies better than the frats. BUt i thought the frats were more deserving. And maybe it's only be, but that last challenge left a really bad taste in my mouth.  Just watching the frats have that lead, and knowing that the hippies were ivy league made it really obvious who was gonna win. And i don't like that.

The thing is, the final task was also physical.  The flag seeker had to run through the field of flags and then carry the flag to where they had to be displayed.  In the cold and in the snow, I bet that part of the challenge wasn't as easy as it looked.

And if the Hippies had the mental advantage, they almost blew it because they didn't immediately recognize the Russian flag.   At one point, they had about seven flags placed wrong as opposed to the two that the Frat Boys had wrong when they first tried to pass.  

In any case, I think that winning that final task depended upon what the teams learned during their recent journeys to the different nations around the world and not what they studied in college.

Pal in the room  

Oh, geez.....I guess it was too lame...I was playing off something from "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome:

There was a huge cage in this village in which disputes were settled violently.

It was called Thunderdome.

And the chant of the spectators was

"Two men enter, one man leaves!"

Oh.  I'll accept the lameness if you accept my denseness (densnissity?)

Wessonality!  There's a word you can lift your hat to!

There's an article on Playbill.com HERE, that says that the cast recording CD for The Drowsy Chaperone will have two bonus tracks:

At the end of the recording, listeners will hear a bonus track of the full version of the hoary ethnic pastiche "Message From a Nightingale," which figures into the comic show in excerpt form. (The song will not appear in the order it plays in the show; it would spoil the fun to explain further.)

Also added as a bonus track is "I Remember Love," a duet for the butler Underling (played by Edward Hibbert) and Mrs. Tottendale (played by Georgia Engel). The song was cut from the Lisa Lambert-Greg Morrison score prior to Broadway. Underling and Tottendale sing the duet "Love Is Always Lovely" in the show nowadays.

It goes on to say (and this is the cool part), Kurt "Deutsch [Ghostlight Records' president] also confirmed that Ghostlight will release a vinyl version of the cast album for the collector's market. It will not include narration tracks by Man in Chair. The release date has not been determined. Expect it to be a high-priced, limited edition."

What I want to know is how high priced will it be??

Back from rehearsal (got the rest of the play blocked) and a jog.  Trying to deal with a bunch of crap now.

WILL AND GRACE has a two-hour exit tonight?  That's about 115 minutes too much!

Gladiator The Musical is one of those where I would have to think really hard if I was offered free tickets. If I had a root canal or laser eye surgery or a colonoscopy or some other thing to do I probably would not take the free tickets  

When dealing with crap, I have always found it best to use a pitchfork.

Had a nice lunch and then came back to cry my way through two excellent dramas from last night.

First up was BONES where the bones of Dr. Brennan's mother (long missing) were discovered. All this led to a nasty investigation in which she found out more about her parents than she ever wanted to know. Soul-gripping and emotion-stirring episode for a season finale.

Next up was CSI: NY where Detective Don Flack was injured in a bomb blast, and the team rallied to discover the bomber as well as keeping vigil over his hospital room. Exciting but again achingly moving as Detective Mac Taylor had flashbacks to a marine in his unit who died in his arms.
