Haines His Way

(Or is it a warm testicle, i forget.)

message passed on to Magnus & Fosca.  They wish good health to all (even Cats - not that they are numbered in their close friends. Rabbits seem to be close friends as do possums)

Wasn't there a Kids Say The Darnedest Things where a kid wished he could be an octopus so that he could beat up the other kids with his testicles?

Thanks for the vote and comment, DR CILLA LIZ.  It should show up in the next couple of days.

Thanks to everyone!!

Well it's the truth....you work there and you always make my day

Exactly.....

And of course the way things are going, some of us would as likely have one as the other.....if any.

Twue, twue.    Thank you.

One child also told Art Linkletter that he would like to grow up to be an actress like Jack Benny.

Nashi blossoms!!!!

And preying manti....where else on ALL the inner nit?

Another interesting tour of the area!!!

DR JOSE why are you not taking MR BK to Splash for the special Monday evening festivities?

I was actually thinking of heading to Splash tonight, but decided tonight would be a good night to put my feet up for a while.

Article in today's NY Times about those annoying, animated bottom-of-screen promos on television that we've discussed.  Here.

and a pain in the neck if you use closed captioning.

Happy Birthday Wae-Ling!

Doggie and spring pics.  Thank you Tomovoz.  I like that I can now imagine you working at the PC and watching your garden.

and a pain in the neck if you use closed captioning.

I can imagine.  It is bad enough when they do those over sub-titles, let alone the entire show in closed caption.

In post after post, notes after notes, BK, you've made a certain complaint, and all my post intended to do was to agree with you about how unfair it is when some shows spend 3 or 4 times what our signed side-letter says we're allowed to spend.

Each NYMF show should face roughly similar constraints, including budget caps, so that the "deep pockets" - the rich participants - can't steal thunder from the working Joes (like me, FJL and BK).  With an UN-level playing field, a show with greased wheels, so to speak, can buy itself some momentum.

I hope I haven't been too cryptic in a day filled with apparently-too-cryptic posts.  I know nothing about any other NYMF shows.  I don't have time to collect gossip, as I'm embroiled in the final fine-tuning for mine.  Only one show in this festival took out an ad in the Times, and that must have cost more than the entire budget for Such Good Friends.  Only one show had an invited dress, because their space goes unshared with any other show.  I thought my reference to a level playing field was clearly seconding your emotion, but it seems some didn't get this.  I'm sorry if this post seems dour, and to remedy this, I'll make a really complex pun in my next post.
