DR Ben - Thanks for the explanation of the "new members".

I'm still a bit unsure about "...many members of a seeming sexual nature."

As for that Army commercial...

I get it, and don't get it. The first time I saw it, I was trying to figure out who it was geared towards. Were they trying to tell young men that the Army would make "real men" out of them? Or was it geared more towards fathers who are looking for a way to "help" out their wayward sons? It almost seems to soft-sell for it's own good.

Family Wants $78 Million for Dracula Castle

BUCHAREST, Romania (Jan. 10) - The Habsburg family said Wednesday that it wanted to sell a Transylvanian castle famous for its connections to the 15th century medieval ruler who inspired "Dracula" for 60 million euros, or $78 million, to the local authorities, an attorney said.

It's geared toward young men who don't feel their fathers/families give them enough respect, IMO.

Of course, what they've done to earn respect is another question.

And another question is how much does a young man or woman have to do to get a response from the folks?

I see the whole thing as a blatant scam to make parents think their children will be immeasurably changed and for young people to think the service is a magic bullet toward adulthood.

But I'd think most parents...especially fathers...would be insulted to think their legal-aged sons had to join the Army to learn how to do something as basic as proffering a firm handshake and looking someone in the eye.

I had that lesson at age 12.

Good morning to all!

I guess my question to BK for today is: Do you have any stories about the time when those L&S pictures I snapped were taken?

That particular episode was interesting (I did three in all) - I got a call from Cindy at about one in the afternoon. She and Penny were apoplectic because the producers had basically hired an extra to play the organist in the roller skating ring. And he couldn't do anything funny and they had nothing to play off of and the scene was dying over and over. She asked if I'd come down and just "do" it. I was down there a half-hour later, we ran the scene, and we filmed it twice shortly thereafter, with me just doing whatever came to me. After the show, they did inserts of me doing lines, and that was that. My then manager was very upset that after I'd done them the favor they were sticking my name on a card with two other actors, and in third position - so, as a nice gesture, they gave me the guest-starring role in the next episode - the one where I played the director of army hygeine films.

I just checked. No limo for me either, and the PT is going in for service tomorrow while I work.

My first question for ASK BK day is from last week:

Is your television project a series or a one-time show?

I presume you mean the kids show - it's a live theater interactive rock-and-roll show for kids (four to ten is the target age) - the hope for it, obviously, is to click and ultimately become a TV show, like The Doodlebops or The Whiggles.

When I was a kid I always loved playing cowboy - I never once played war or soldier. So, no, I was never attracted to military service. And I'm saving my tales about the draft for either a short story or a novel.

I think I had quite a low number when they did that. But, it was abolished before anything happened with the numbers. It wouldn't have mattered anyway - I'd already made certain I would never be drafted. And therein lies the tale.

I had a wonderful night's sleep, but now I'm behind and I must get crackin'. I wish I could have jogged yesterday - it was about eighty degrees and beautiful. Today is overcast - but maybe it's warm, in which case I'll go for it.

Those who've read the Kritzer books know all about my favorite movie theater candies. Sno-Caps for sure. If I had no money, those suckers - what was the name of them? It's on the tip of my tongue and won't come to me. I loved frozen U-No bars, and occasionally would do Bon-Bon's, though they were messy. In my day, they didn't sell licorice or anything like that. I didn't do Ju-Ju Bees or the other popular gummy (Juicy something - why can't I remember anything this morning) because they stuck in my teeth and that skeeved me. I tended not to go for candy bars because they didn't last as long as things like Sno-Caps.
