Personally, I appreciate having friends out there in the dark when DH Richard is out of town and when things get ugly here at work.

And not a stalker in the crowd.

Well, it's a simply gorgeous day outside, and I think I'm going to head to the Park.  And I think I may actually go for a job around the Reservoir too.  

Laters...

Go for a "job".....around the Reservoir?

[Ron Pulliam]

We do learn from American Idol, don't we

We DO!

And not a stalker in the crowd.

Speak for yourself.

I guess that's better than tossing them.

[Some DR made this joke yesterday, too.]

 

Tossing cookies jokes are NOT best served cold!

I also think that all old women should be helped out to their cars.

And let us old geezers fend for ourselves? Such blatant sexism - I'm shocked

Moon Pies, Scooter Pies...to me they always sounded better in theory than in actuality.

But when you attach them to nine volt toy motor kits...

Well, look out!

INCOMING!

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!  Now THAT'S a favorite wacky HHW moment!!

I have just scraped two layers of wallpaper from behind the bathroom mirror. I guess I am lucky there were only two layers in a 45-year-old house.

Scrape one more and you'll find:

One of my favorite memories was the day when Pogue and Mrs. Pogue were both posting to each other from different rooms of their home.  

Laura and Sandra do that, too.

[George]

So...

Did anyone "like" the magic trick I posted last night?

Well, she certainly is comfortable on stage!

BK, love the EVENING STAR history...or back-story, as they say in Hollywood-speak.

[George]

I've been reading some reviews of the 110 In The Shade CD, and they all mention that Evening Star was cut for Broadway (in the original production) but apparently they don't say why or explain why it was put back or GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.  Damn them, damn them all to hell.  Why, all they need to do is read the Lost In Boston IV liner notes to find out that the song was cut very early on, never worked - in Scott Ellis' revival at City Opera, he toyed with putting it back in, but it still didn't work and it wasn't put in.  When it came time to do LIB IV, Mr. Haines was determined to sing the song, because, like me, he loves the tune mightiliy.  But I knew what was wrong with the song instantly and it's why it had never been in the show and why I hadn't recorded it with the first batch of cut songs from 110.  It was too short and had no bridge - just the two choruses and done.  It wasn't a complete song.  I called Harvey Schmidt and told him how much Guy wanted to sing it and told him what I thought was wrong and asked him if there was any way he'd consider writing a bridge.  We talked about it for quite a while and he was very nice about it because we're friends, but I could tell he wasn't that open to it in our conversation.  Two days later, I got a cassette in the mail with the most beautiful bridge - simply gorgeous - it made me cry, actually.  I called him and told him how thrilled I was.  He then told me he didn't think Tom would ever consent to writing a lyric for it, though.  So, I asked him to call Tom and just remind him how many Schmidt and Jones songs and shows I'd recorded - you know, guilt-trip him.  It worked and a few days later I had the lyric and we recorded the song.  Then it got put into the Signature production, then the David Lee production in Pasadena, and now the new Broadway production.  And, of course, it works, because it's a complete song with a complete lyric and it's perfect for the character.  

But do they mention it?  Nooooooo.

Stories like this are also what I love about HHW!

Are all the classical music aficionados aware of ArkivMusic.com?

They have my CD!

When I was at Western Washington University, we recorded a CD of Domenico Scarlatti's Sacred Choral Works!  FYI: The release date of 2001 is a re-release date.  We recorded it in 1989 (my last year at Western) and it was originally released in 1991.

You're an old softy, Larry Moore....with a HUGE heart.  Arentcha?  Huh! Huh?  Arentcha?

Nevah! Nevah! Crabby Appleton, rotten to the core!

C'est moi!

I went to buy CURTAINS (OCR) last night, and I was shocked at the price. SInce when have CDs gone to a $19.99 list price! Even Amazon's discount wasn't much. I may have to Deep Discount this one so I can take advantage of their current sale.

Hell, DR Matt H, it's cheaper to come in and see it and visit us!

Beef Recall Expanded Over E. Coli Concerns
Thursday , June 07, 2007
 
LOS ANGELES  —
A meat supplier expanded a voluntary recall of ground beef products because they may be contaminated with E. coli.

United Food Group LLC said in a statement Wednesday it expanded the recall of 75,000 pounds of ground beef to include an additional 370,000 pounds based on "unspecified concerns" raised by the California State Department of Health Services.

The recalled products were shipped to grocery stores in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. They were sold under brand names Moran's All Natural, Miller Meat Company, Stater Bros., Inter-American Products, Inc., and Basha's.

The grocery stores affected included Albertson's, Basha's, Grocery Outlet, Fry's, "R" Ranch Markets, Save-A-Lot, Save-Mart, Scolari's Wholesale Markets, Smart and Final, Smith's, Stater Bros., and Superior Warehouse.
…

The products had sell-by dates from April 29 to May 6

Seems the warning is a tad late!

A euphemism?

Should we alert the police?

Of course Bollywood soundtrack CDs run an average of $2.99...I like that price! of course there are those wonderful 39 cent, 69 cent, and 99 cent sales....and that is why I have SO MANY CDs!

Hmmmmmm . . . that's also one of the reasons you're always bitching about no money for a New York trip!

As a matter of fact, I have helped little old men, as well.

But only at the request of their little old wives.  There is such a thing as honor, after all.

The lemon pizzarelles and the Pepperidge Farm Milanos and Veronas were a hit, along with all the savories that my coworker brought.  I even managed to assemble a take-away box of assorted cookies to take home to my DH and DS.

Whilst waiting in the bank, I saw the "news" about Miss Hilton.  Of course, it's a BIG story for the news media - certainly the most important news story of the day - nothing, not deaths, war, tornadoes, or whatever is more important than this media slut making a travesty of the justice system.  Others, who have done far less than she have languished in jail for much-less serious things - have had to serve full sentences, but she and her wealthy lawyers are allowed to manipulate the justice system once again.

It's why I HATE the damn justice system in this country - as I've said many times, being a victim of it myself (being served with a frivolous and pointless lawsuit by wealthy people who cost me a humungous amount of money just because they could), I just think it needs a complete overhaul.  If I'd been able to actually take that friggin' lawsuit to court I would have kicked their ASS from here to eternity and hell and back, but I couldn't afford to do it and they could and in the end we all decided to walk away - AFTER I'd had to spend my life savings.

And with that, I shall be on my way to Miss Ryan's and then over to the west side.

[Ginny]

Oh, my coworker also brought a box of these wrapped chocolate truffle thingies from Trader Joe's, in 3 flavors - amaretto, tiramisu, and cafe au lait.  Mmmmmm!
