Haines His Way

For absolutely no reason at all:

I did say conyo today. Edith said "Do you know what you just said? Who taught you that?"  So, I told her all the Spanish swear words I know and she laiughed and laughed

Whoever asked...was it DR Ron, I found this quote in the NYT

Aides to both senators say hard feelings between the two camps are dissipating by the week — many people from both sides, in fact, were friends before and remain close — but some habits remain. In the primary, aides to Mrs. Clinton referred to their rival as B.H.O. — initials of Barack Hussein Obama, including his middle name, which has been a politically sensitive issue — while Mr. Obama’s team simply referred to him as B.O. The B.H.O. shorthand is frowned upon inside Mr. Obama’s campaign headquarters, a warning for any Clinton staff members coming aboard.

So I guess they want him to be called B.O.  LOL, whatever.

And I'm going to take a pre-bedtime shower, and then head to bed.  Tomorrow is going to be a big "detail" day, so I'm gonna need my rest.

Goodnight.

I have a vivid memory of a commercial -- possibly on radio, but maybe on TV -- for a deodorant.  One of the attention-getters (or "hooks) was a deep-voiced man (voiceover, probably) imitating a foghorn and saying "Beeee-Ohhhhh", and, of course, the brand of  deodorant being advertised would prevent same.

How well I remember, was made to bathe with it regularly!


The radio commercial had a foghorn and  “BEEEEEE-OHHHHH” sound effects

The tag line was :

"Your best friend won't tell you."

One episode had Gwen Verdon as the guest star. She was playing an old lady in a rest home where experiments were being carried out on some of the old residents.

A two part episode turned back the hands of time to the Old West as Norris played a Texas Ranger trying to clean up a lawless town ruled by a gunslinger with a lightning fast draw. Naturally, after two episodes, it boiled down to that showdown in the street it took two episodes to get to.

One nice thing was Joseph Bottoms (one of my all-time crushes) guest starring in the first of the two parter.

The last episode I watched was sci-fi in nature: a young kid with telekenesis powers has been told his mother (Anne Lockhart) is dead, so he's in a scientific institute where he's being experimented on and where his only friend is a super-computer called "Art."

The kid actor was no Haley Joel Osment, however.

I concluded my evening with Bette Davis and Mary Astor in THE GREAT LIE. This is the first of the films I've watched from the latest Warners/Bette Davis set. They've done a fantastic job cleaning up the film. Sure, there are still a few scratches and film fluctuations, but compared to the ghastly print they used for the laserdisc, this looks almost brand new.

What a pleasure to see it again after quite a few years away from it.

Wow it has been a busy day here at HHW.....such wonderful posts.  People's feets continue to be a problem.....pictures, dancers, opera singers, libraries under water.

It's the whole world in ONE PLACE!

MR BK did not answer my question.

And now the reason for all of the unexpected happenings and surprises:

Uranus is in retrograde.  Yes, you heard it hear first on HHW....and now you can expect the consequences and KNOW why they are happening.

SURPRISE!!!

My e-mail is all over the internet. And still no one writes me.

What did you have for dinner, FJL? I had a salad. Again.

Just because it's ASK B.K. Day that doesn't mean it's B.K. will answer day

FJL left already. I was going to ask about his ankle....is it his left foot?
