The Hilton sisters arrived in Melbourne OZ last week to attend the Melbourne Cup (our biggest horse race - no they did not enter).
Question: Does "Sally Go 'Round the Roses"(1963) the song by the Jaynetts have any hidden meaning? I was asked a few years ago but the expression means nothing to us in OZ.

Deboned chicken legs?

Craig Brockman - don't be flirting with the women on this site unless you post a LINK. After all, we do think of you as the missing link or, at the very least, the cuff link.

Has anyone suggested J Lo and Ben as Fanny and Nick. Wouldn't THAT be special.

Speaking of miscast Fanny Brices, I saw a stock production with Carol Lawrence. Now I like Ms. Lawrence a lot, but Jewish she is not. Her mother was played by the late Sylvia Sims.

I also saw a high school production where the leading lady mispronounced the word bagel. She said bag (as in shopping bag).

Welcome back Woody. Good luck with the job hunting.

I don’t have anything new to offer to today’s subject though I had loads of fun reading them. WEL, I especially enjoyed your interesting facts.

We're bringing in lunch from P.F. Chang's - I'm having their yummy Won Ton Soup and some egg rolls.

Deboned chicken legs - is this a non-sequitur or just a plain old sequitur?

Jennifer I googled for a recipe for General Tao and guess where the first one I saw came from? Le Piment Rouge on Peel Street! Talk about coincidences...
legend, the old general ate nothing but poultry and this dish was his favorite.

My dad tried this one... didn't turn out too well.

Thanks for the recipes Jennifer.

Sure emily, I'll eat out--- if you pay:)

Good morning (Oz time) François. Good luck with all that reading from the last five days.

Craig · « **Reply #129 on:** November 13, 2003, 12:34:44 PM »

I think I would like to see Harvey Fierstein as Fanny and Don Knotts as Nicky

Back on the Chang Gang I see!

Personally I love their lettuce wraps (although they do not keep your shoulders very warm)

and also their combo fried rice

Tomovoz · « **Reply #131 on:** November 13, 2003, 12:40:27 PM »

Has anyone heard from Jose or is he still languishing in Camelot?

I want Chinese food now. We don't have a decent Chinese restaurant here.

Well Tom, if that is where he is.. I hope it's not something we forgot!

BLACK COMEDY....lots of fun for the actors....as an audience member I was very bored.
Of course the production I saw didn't feature any of the DR from HHW!

Ann and Jed, you will understand this story

When I first went to Central Washington State University, back in the Middle Ages, the Theater Department was into producing a lot of rather dry, rather boring drama classics. As a result we didn't exactly draw crowds of students or town's people to our productions. My freshman year we did Juno and the Paycock and Brecht's Galileo. I think our largest audience was about 75, in an auditorium that seats about 600. It was really dismal.

My second year, one of the drama professor’s directed Black Comedy, and since she was kind of a dirty old lady, she put every suggestive and bawdy thing she could into the show. I got to play the flaming queen in the production. On opening night we had our usual 50 people in the audience, but still ended up getting a standing ovation. The second night we doubled the crowd to 100, and by the second weekend we were playing to sold out houses. Some students came back to see the show three and four times; and evrey night was another standing O. I don't think they ever went back to "just" doing the classics again.

If it's jeudi, can François come out and play???

Tomovoz · « **Reply #136 on:** November 13, 2003, 12:56:07 PM »

Maybe he is doing something (any enjoying) something truly bizarre Craig.

Craig · « **Reply #137 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:02:11 PM »

Maybe he is wondering what the simple folk do....

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #138 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:03:27 PM »

TCB, JUNO & THE PAYCOCK & GALLIELO boring?! No, no,no. Though BLACK COMEDY or anything by Shaffer is great!

Anyone remember Robert Evans in THE FIEND WHO WALKED THE WEST? KISS OF DEATH transposed to a western setting.

Wasn't there a famous George Jean Nathan review of Hedy Lamarr in WHITE CARGO that went something like: "After Hedy Lamarr said: 'Me, Tondelayo. Me stay!' I replied: ' Me, George Jean Nathan. Me, go!' "

Tomovoz · « **Reply #139 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:03:45 PM »

This is where he can find out Craig.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #140 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:07:01 PM »

Maybe he's suddenly gone gay.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #141 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:07:12 PM »

Or, maybe he's simply fey!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #142 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:07:28 PM »

Maybe Guinevere took him to the fair!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #143 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:07:39 PM »

Maybe Morgana trapped him in her lair!

Fie on your virtue and goodness Ron.

Wasn't that from the new version of the book "The Once and Future Queen"?

Craig · « **Reply #149 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:19:47 PM »

The Once And Future Queen - isn't that the biography of the unknown theater poster?
