It would be interesting to see if this ever came to fruitition. I wonder if such a rule would actually influence the original cast members to stay on longer. I dunno... But then again, it could also bode not so well for future star and stunt casting.

I think just the opposite would happen. I wouldn't doubt that this would encourage producers to grant only one year contracts to middle tier stars just so they could recast the roles and have the show become eligible for more awards for a second season--all for marketing's sake.

And a good thing, too. If they were not used, they would go out of business.

DR Elan - I meant to ask you yesterday... Did you know Brad from 88's? He would run sound, bartend, bus tables, etc... He was also Ellen Greene's personal assistant for a while. The last time I heard from him was too many years ago at this point. He had just started a nice cushy gig at one of the resorts in the Carribean - the postcard had me pondering switching careers too.

Limbo!

I'm up. I was up earlier, briefly, but was too tired and had to go lie down again. Boy did we have fun last night. I don't really know how it happened but it just kept on going. I'm quite sore from having done the Limbo numerous times.

elmore, I know you won't go to The Drama Bookshop - she'd actually called there on her own. Who knows if it will even happen. But you can come to the other signing, because there will have to be two for me to make the trip. And then there will be our marvelous get-togethers. I may be in for PennyO's show, too.

What's more interesting than the five pages of posts by two am is that this morning we've only had two more. I guess many of the participants in the madness slept late.

Limbo!

BK, last night I watched the documentary (Dollars and Donuts?? I forget the title) that is on the FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL dvd....that was so much fun! You know, Cindy Williams just seems like she would be such a blast!! And Stephen Nathan seems really nice...and interviewing a couple of the dancing dildos actors...that was priceless!

I might add, as I had not yet seen you as you look today (other then your avatar), you have grown into a very handsome man! But boy, were you a VERY young looking 27 year old in that movie!

Anyway, the stories told in those interviews were great!!! If I have time this weekend I will watch the movie again with the commentary.

By the way did you ever get yourself a copy of the DVD called JEW-BOY?

Teacher Accused of Molesting Two Boys
Friday, January 07, 2005

SANTA ANA, Calif. — A 28-year-old English teacher was charged Thursday with 20 counts of lewd acts for allegedly having sex with two of her former students when they were between the ages of 12 and 14.

Sarah Bench-Salorio was charged with molesting the boys between May and December of last year.
…
Defense attorney Alan Stokke said Bench-Salorio is embarrassed.

"She is very embarrassed and wants everybody to know she is very embarrassed by what has happened," he said outside the courtroom. "She's sympathetic toward the families of the young men involved. She's sympathetic because of the effects this is having on her school."

(Above extracted from an AP Story)

Surely this is cause enough to ban heterosexual women from teacjhng in our schools!

der Brucer (is it telling that she is not sympathetic toward the abused kids?)

No, I've never heard of Jew-Boy.

Glad you liked the documentary - we had a lot of fun doing it. There are two commentary tracks - one with me and Nick Redman, and one with Cindy, Stephen, and I. And there's an amusing commentary track on the documentary - a first - and all I'll say is it's VERY irreverant.

I think she will get a lot of sympathy because she's "sorry." Of course, it's sorrow for being caught and embarrassing the school. She doesn't give a flip about the boys.

Had it been a male teacher with a female, there would be more outrage. And a male teacher with boys? Well, chemical castration and hanging party would have been suggested as "too good for the likes of him."

Yes, we live in a society with oddly perverse double standards.

The sad upshot of it is that many folks will believe this is acceptable because "the boys were abused 'heterosexually' EVEN IF they WERE abused."

Gettin' all wound up here.....

I didn't pay attention to her webpage of origin. I am like the white slavers of old--I just take 'em and display 'em.

I wonder if she has a sister named Salimbo?

Interestingly, it's not only rainy here in Los Angeles, California, USA, it's also windy. We don't usually have that combo.

Yes, we're being whammied by a major winter storm all along the California coast.

I'm listening to a wonderful CD that a dear friend sent me:

Patti Cohenour/American Theatre Orchestra: TO AN ISLE IN THE WATER, The words of William Butler Yeats; John Aschenbrenner, composer.

Next up on the CD player is PAINT YOUR WAGON.

What the connection is between the two is anyone's guess.

As for movies, I'll be watching TARS AND SPARS (1946), which is on Cool TV tonight (I don't subscribe, but I think they're giving us a free month). I'm looking forward to hearing Alfred Drake's splendid voice and seeing Sid Caesar's solo turn. From IMDB:

A high point in this film is Sid's interpretation of a war movie called "Wings Over Boomerschnitzel." He does the entire film in one shot, with sound effects, in about three minutes.

Has it snowed yet in NY? I remember there were snow predictions when I was there signing, but it didn't happen.
