Right now, I'm watching a show on The Discovery Channel called "Tokyo's Sky City." The description, according to tvguide.com, is: Examining plans for a building that would be a mile high and incorporate 24 steel, concrete and glass "plateaus," each 40 stories high and stacked on top of each other. They're inventing techniques to build the building. There's another building being built right now called Taiwan 101 (it'll have 101 floors). Taiwan 101 is kind of a test building for the techniques that will be used for Sky City. It's going to be on again tonight at 1:00 am (actually Thursday morning). I'm going to tape it to see the whole thing!

And with this post, I'm tied with MBarnum at 452 posts each (and he's off-line, too)! One more and I'll be 12th highest poster (he said with a maniacal laugh)!!

Is that a CHICKEN nugget??

Honey, the last time I was considered "chicken," dinosaurs still roamed the earth!

Now can I remember anything. I don't think we have ice in OZ except in drinks. (A contintent without a permanent snowline). We might be able to provice an Olympic figure skating champion if the other skaters all fall down! We've done in speed skating.
Congratulations and welcome BEN. (Have I missed anyone).
Welcome to Evil Twin. Identical twins too!
My favourite skating moment was by non skater Wayne Sleep. Wonderful routine a few years back.

Ok...I am performing in a show this weekend in NYC where I am imitating 14 FAB. stars. Should I include Donna Murphy, cough, and then make an announcement that she has the flu and say that her understudy is going on? Is it too mean. I adore Donna Murphy and I don't know if it is funny or mean?

And if you check the member directory, you'll notice that EVIL TWIN has a birthday this week. . . .

. . . Shall we have pantaloons and party hats in sundry shapes and sizes?

It's funny - do it! Late-night denizens, that's what we got here. All those people who went to bed early probably thought we wouldn't top 300 posts tonight. We showed them, we did, and the evening isn't over for another hour.

TD, I think you should introduce your member to everyone here. Knowing your member as I do I welcome your member, who I feel will be a good addition to all the other members.

Those are indeed warm words of welcome!

Thank you Bruce. If I have YOUR ok I think I won't be scared to do it. Besides, 15 stars is better than 14!

Evil Twin · « **Reply #341 on:** January 07, 2004, 10:58:20 PM »

Thank you JoeSPiano. Nice to be here.

Do I become a GOD at five hundred posts? ? ? ? Or, have I got a long, long way to go?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #343 on:** January 07, 2004, 10:59:05 PM »

Just remembered. Those early posts from Ron and BK. I think I had been talking to my sister (who has just returned from the road to Bali. I may also have been eating my evening meal. I had just left the computer on I guess. Nothing personal.
Thanks Ron for the photos of your four legged friends.
WEL: Still giving some thought to your biography question. Best autobiographical books that I have read are those by Dirk Bogarde. Has there been a good one on Bobby Darin yet? Which of course was a question begging for a Kevin Spacey connection.

And welcome to new reader Uhlie. You'll become a Dear Reader as soon as you post.

Evil Twin · « **Reply #345 on:** January 07, 2004, 10:59:51 PM »

Poor TD...His will be a god soon, and will have to drag along his poor little new member who just joined

Oh -- and welcome, DR Evil Twin.

Darin and Sandra Dee's son wrote a biography of BOBBY. . . .

Fifteen is always better than fourteen. Welcome to new lurker Uhlie. If Uhlie is reading this, please check your e-mail. Uhlie is a very nice chap and I do hope he'll join in on our posting frenzy whenever he's comfortable doing so.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #349 on:** January 07, 2004, 11:00:56 PM »

I think it's 501 td. (So long ago I've forgotten - I let the angels take care of all that counting stuff).

bk · « **Reply #350 on:** January 07, 2004, 11:01:28 PM »

I'll tell you one thing - I'm doing my damndest to hit fifteen hundred posts tonight.

Some people get a new brain (Oh! a William Finn reference!) I get a NEW MEMBER!

bk · « **Reply #352 on:** January 07, 2004, 11:02:05 PM »

But I won't do it unless there are posts to respond to. That would be artificial post insemenation.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #353 on:** January 07, 2004, 11:02:39 PM »

Thanks td. Is it a good an honest one? Darin had so much talent.

Yes, td, you are in no danger of falling out of the top ten...just yet!

I have 453 posts (with this one), Emily has 475 and YOU have 495 (so far). Ben has 510 and is off-line.

Well, either way, I might just be a GOD before I go to bed.

If I do become a GOD, I want everyone to know that I will do my utmost to keep my member immaculate.

Isn't "POST" a breakfast cereal?

Evil Twin · « **Reply #357 on:** January 07, 2004, 11:05:06 PM »

Isn't it the other way around, TD?

I don't think that it's a Chrisina Crawford take on Bobby, though, the book has been out of print for a while. . .maybe Ebay has one or two. . .

Thank you JoeSPiano. Nice to be here.

<cough>.. It's don't forget the other "s" in there...

ahem... <cough>...

And speaking of coughs...

Well, you could make a running bit of it... The first time you cough, you could say Donna Murphy's u/s is going on. Then the next time you cough, you could say Bernadette Peters' u/s is going on. Then the next time you cough, you could say that Emily Skinner's u/s is going on... Of course, you really don't have to cough to say that Emily Skinner's u/s is going on... -Now that's mean! -And I've played for Emily!

-Oh, and you could always delve into the opera world... Teresa Stratas, Aprille Millo (I still remember that one performance here in DC where she literally walked off the stage in the middle of the opera... She just felt she wasn't singing well that night. They had to call her cover in!)
