TOD: We saw roadshow performances of "The Sound of Music" at the Vista Theatre in downtown Phoenix, (theatre since torn down)"Brothers Grimm" and "How the West Was Won" at the Kachina Theatre in Scottsdale (theatre replaced by a mall), "Gone With the Wind" (in its 1968 re-release) at the Bethany West Theatre (now a grocery store). The last movie I remember having roadshow performances was "Dr. Zhivago" at the Cine-Capri theatre (now a bank building).

As for condom machines...

I still see them here and there. Although, some of them have been repurposed into vending aspirin, Tylenol, Advil, breath mints, temporary tattoos, etc.

But I do remember the curiosity those machines aroused for me and my brothers when were were younger. Especially during our two cross-country road trips. We still can't say "ribbed" without giggling.

And, yes, they do make great water balloons.

It was kind of a "mama mia, that's a delicious meatball" type of finger positioning on Italiannette, IIRC.

I remember the first time i saw a condom vending machine AFTER I knew what they were for and was just so intrigued knowing they were there and wondering.

DR DAKOTA CELT, Miss Pleshette was not in THAT DARN CAT! It featured Hayley Mills and Dorothy Provine on the distaff side. Suzanne P. was in THE UGLY DACHSUND, though, if I recall correctly.

DR td thanks for the zip link - I wanted the music but the number of downloads was daunting!

I stand corrected

And as for the brief audition session I played this morning... Well...

I'm guessing the strange, frustrating dreams I had last night were a harbinger of what I was going to experience this morning. If I shared the details with you, it would sound like a very "plain" audition. However, it was far from plain.

There are truly some things that one can not explain. There are things that defy explanation. And there are still other things that are probably left better unexplained. And this morning was all that, and more!

So, instead of sharing the details of the actual audition, I shall share with you my reactions to the audition-

-Where's the camera? Seriously, where the camera?!?!?

-I am not going to look at the casting director, I am not going to look at the casting director...

-Oh, no! Did I just laugh out loud?

-Is my smile too big?

-Oh... She writes her own songs...

And then upon exiting the room, I literally fell on the floor and went into the fetal position since it was the only way I could stifle my laughter and shock. Needless to say, the rest of the staff - who could hear the audition through the door - understood my reaction. And they all wanted to know what happened in there. Well...

A few moments after I got up off the floor, the "group" came out of the room... Whew! They didn't see me! And the "smiling" started all over again. Alas, we kept getting the "Not yet" signal from the receptionist since the "group" was taking their time getting their coats on in the lobby area. Then after a few knowing glances, I headed out - past the "group"... to the elevators... down to the street... outside the building... walked over two avenues and up three streets... And Laughed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I still have a bit of that goofy grin on my face almost two hours later.

What soap operas have you been watching that had rough language and sex scenes? And what channel were they on, and at what times do they air?

I have seen fanfiction that would rank as an X....

It amazes me who they have doing it to whom...

The Gays of Our Lives?

In my best radio voice of classic soap days....

Will Trevor and Nigel overcome the the difficulties of they face to encounter passion. Will Nigel's mother continue to try and keep them apart.

Tune in tomorrow for another exciting episode of Gays of our Lives.

I think in the late 1980s when they had the last strike, the producers of the show started writing episodes.

In a book I have about Days of our Lives, Maureen Russell had interviewed a number of actors and many of them cited that had no idea where the scripts came from. Managers, producers and scabs continued to the writing. Like the NYT article stated they do have a bible to work from.

Anyone want to write for the soaps?

Sounds like they'll take almost anyone these days!

Well in the case of a couple of soaps and former soaps it might be an improvement... There are a few writers or ones that claim to be ones who should not be allowed near pen, paper, typewriter or computer.

Well, I'm about to head back out into the cold. I got a bit of cleaning done around here, and now I'm going to meet up with some friends, and possibly a movie. And probably check on DR elmore too since I'll be in his 'hood.
