I'm up and ready to go - have already shaved and will soon shower.

I e-mailed Mr. Bakalor a week ago about the purge - he may be out of town or he just hasn't gotten to it yet. The less we rely on him, the better.

Bad movie lines can be a Sunday sort of topic on free-for-all day.

Laugh o' the day department: Sometimes when the scintillating repartee of HHW is simply too much, I dumb myself down and go to the Musicians' posts on Portland Craigslist. Well, there's one hilarious argument going right now between some guy from Vancouver (WA) who hates Portland and others who are defending Portland, all in their own incapable-of-spelling, ignorant way.

So, here's my laugh--the Vancouver guy (ALL IN CAPS, OF COURSE) said no one famous ever came from Portland, whereas LOTS of famous folk hail from Vancouver, including (wait for it) Geno Vaneli (sic), who, according to this genius, was in Quicksilver Messenger Service and went on to a solo career. Some marginally informed person responded that this dope was thinking of Dino Valente, which just totally cracked me up. (Not to mention that Gino of course is from Canada, though he does now call Portland his home).

I just found out I'm reviewing Season 3 of Project Runway for DVDTalk. I'm trying to remember which one that was.

And the word of the day is: MACARONIC!

Yankee Doodle took a tumble
Slipped into a coma
His MACARONIC style's a jumble
He's got CARCINOMA

(OK, it doesn't make much sense, but at least it rhymes.)

Here it is DR JMK - last season!

It was the season of Angela and her horrible rosettes and Kayne and his pageant wear....and Laura Bennett.

Thursday.

Finally.

The end of my week, this week (and next, actually).

So H-A-P-P-Y!

DR RLP were you in Florence when you were in Italy...I always forget.

Oh, come on, Jack! I know Angela was an especial FAVORITE of yours! You fell in love with her (meaning her teammates') execution of the Audrey Hepburn outfit and you hated to see her go!

And when she got that second chance, I know you were devastated at the judges' reaction to that "shrug" that no sane woman ANYWHERE would be caught dead wearing!

Kayne wasn't so bad. Most of his clothes looked good "from an angle". That last thing looked great in the front. It was that chicken wire mess in the back "that done him in, lord love him!" (And my favorite quote from last season came from Laura the Evil: "There's some serious ugly in this room"...re: Kayne's recycled materials outfit).

Now....look....don't get started on your dream designer Vincent!

LOL!

Several times.

However, I "lived" in Vicenza from 1973-1975; and I lived in Naples from 1975-77; 1987-1992.

Florence was no stranger to me!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #73 on:** November 01, 2007, 08:36:17 AM »

Well, I'm off now to track down some cards of "farewell" that have been making the rounds.

I think I'm remembering why I had blocked it all out.

Wasn't Jeffrey the guy with all the tatoos? And Laura was that slightly younger Mrs. Thurston Howell type?

Laura was the conniving "I'm really looking out for your own good" uberbitch.

From her behavior on the program, I worry about Laura's mothering skills with that clan she's breeding.

I always thought a bad movie line to be when you've been waiting for what seems like hours to purchase your ticket and then get told "I'm sorry, sir, but we already have our tickets - the line for the ticket booth is over there."

Jrand74 · « **Reply #79 on:** November 01, 2007, 08:47:43 AM »

Yes, DR JMK - as DR ELMORE has affirmed....that is she.

DR RLP - and anyone else with patience who might be interested - some photos from niece Emily & Ryan from their EYE-talian honeymoon...

Now THAT'S what Pulliam means by vintage clothing!

That's what I thought, DR SWW.

And thanks to DR GEORGE for the DVD's!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #87 on:** November 01, 2007, 09:32:55 AM »

I just pre-ordered "With a Song in My Heart" on DVD and added the CD that features Jane singing those songs and the 1952 "Pal Joey".
