So now, along with pantaloons and pointy hats, we're supposed to be wearing pointy/curly shoes?

Dang, it's hard keeping up with the dress code around here!

I have some curly slippers! Though not quite THAT curly.

Hello, everyone!

Ah, the Beatles. They were all the rage when I was in high school, but they left me cold. I loved Broadway show tunes. My friend Lulu LOVED them and was VERY vocal about it.

I had a boyfriend in college who looked quite a bit like Paul McCartney. I didn't pick up on it at first. It wasn't until I introduced him to some of my girlfriends, one of whom said, "PAUL?? PAUL??" in this incredulous voice. It was quite funny, actually. No, this is NOT THAT Paul.

It wasn't until maybe ten years later, when all the hoopla had died down, that I saw what wonderful music the Beatles had written.

GEORGE,
I'm so glad that Ebonie is doing well.

Miss Karen, not sure why you're having troubles, but once you've got the new unwieldy password, and you're logged in, just go to Edit Profile and put in your new/old password and it should take it.

And then be sure to tick the box "keep me logged in"

I like most all of the Beatles songs, but I am not sure I love any of them. If I had to put any above the rest I suppose it would be the song NORWEGIAN WOOD or the entire SGT PEPPER album.

Miss Karen · « **Reply #72 on:** November 17, 2007, 09:27:06 AM »

It worked, BK! There's a reason you're the Grand Pooh-Pah of this here joint!

Another question BK:

If you're the Grand Pooh-Pah and the man who started this here site, why are you member number #12, and not member #1?

bk · « **Reply #76 on:** November 17, 2007, 09:45:28 AM »

Because when the site was being designed all those people became one through eleven. What they call Beta-testing.

I shall now be on my way to the postal office and then lunch, and then a matinee, after which I shall return.

Noted! Scratch the headbands since no one will be noticing them ... that money can be put toward the toaster and George Foreman Grill god gifts instead ....

The George Foreman grill could get some of us into shape for that outfit, I guess.

TOD: well I think everybody who knows me will know I vote for "Fool on the Hill" by SM&B66, not only a great cover version, but one of the few cover versions that charted higher than the original by the Beatles. Sergio's love affair with Beatles material actually started several years earlier on his solo albums, but there's a very rare Atlantic 45 (never released on LP or CD) of a transitional version of Brasil '65 (not the one recorded by Atlantic and Capitol) containing a very B66-esque treatment of "All My Loving." The first B66 album contained a nice version of "Daytripper." And later in the B66 canon, he did a smashing version of "Norwegian Wood." There's a live Japanese album with a somewhat less stellar cover of "Something," featuring his 70s vocalist Bonnie Bowden.

Cleo: Wow! I haven't seen that name in a while. I'm a bit too young for the tv series, but our family dogs throughout my childhood were Basset Hounds, so I had a Cleo Golden Book when I was little which I still remember quite well.

Sorry to hear about Mr Ronnie Burns. I watched HAPPY when it was first on, it was produced by the folks who did THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE the show with Cleo the talking basset hound.

It was funnier when we heard what the dog thought.

The dog was much funnier, for some reason the baby seemed odd. I had no idea, that I can recall, the relationship of Ronnie Burns to his famous parents.

A Matinee? A Pinter Play? REALLY?

I believe Ronnie was their adopted son.

I am intrigued by DR EDISAURUS's Beatles discovery, but I do not know the name of the single either.

I hate this computer of Jo's! I had written a post and the computer, just as it died with an earlier email, screwed up the transmission and lost it.

I'm off to the library to do some work.

What I tried to post earlier was that I had a wonderful dinner with the Freemans: pork chops, pease cooked with bits of ham, a baked rice and gruyere casserole that wasquite wonderful, and a delish gateau a l'orange. I got back quite late to find that my niece, her husband and son Chase had just arrived from Tennessee and I was up visiting with them till around 1 am.

I never did get to the library; my dad's girlfriend Lucille, thinking the dinner was today, showed up and we had a nice visit. I will work here until I head over to DR Ginny's.

TOMOVOZ,
do you know anything about a Hugh Laurie drama about a con man, called ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL? I saw it in a British video catalog. It's new to DVD, but that's all I know.

Jeanne · « **Reply #88 on:** November 17, 2007, 11:46:11 AM »

Or, if any other DRs know anything about ALL OR NOTHING AT ALL, I'd appreciate the feedback.

You can check with imdb.com. I also went to Amazon.com and it will be available on DVD by the end of November.
