NO TCB -- guess again since we are the only ones playing it seems.

Susie Bradbury wasn't there, and yes I remember her well. It's always to weird to try to talk to people like Ray when there are that many people around, so I didn't.

Back from my errands and waiting for a callback from the DSL people, who left a message while I was out (naturally).

Hey, happy Valentine's Day everyone!

It's been a very nice day so far. Got up very early to go get free boxes of chocolate at the mall. Spent the morning shopping. Had a really nice Valentine's call and some ecards (which I LOVE - I would highly recommend sweet mushy Valentine's ecards). Sent some cool Valentine's stuff (which of course arrived early and WAS OPENED). All in all a nice day. And now I'm sleepy.

God knows, I love the guy, but he's not a playwright."

Yes, the play was rather deadly (plays, actually -- two one-acters). And deadly Irish, which is even worse.
It's interesting how many excellent prose writers, simply cannot handle the stage (and/or screen) Back in my acting days I was in LEAVEN OF MALICE at the Shaw Festival. It was a play by Robertson Davies, no slouch in the prose department. But, God, what a terrible play. For the first and only time in my entire career, I had trouble remembering my lines - even months into the run. It was like speaking a novel, not dialogue. I remember that Mr. Davies came backstage opening night - wearing a cloak, no less, and I went and hid so I wouldn't have to speak to him. What would I have said? "Stick to novels, sir."...?

FS Pogue - I was going to say in my last posting, but forgot...
After last night's little escapade in the library, I hope you'll be a gentleman and get your books a dozen roses and a box of chocolates today.

I just received an e-mail from a fellow Kimlet reminding me that I had previously expressed dislike of anyone perpetuating the Hudson / Nabors marriage myth from the early 70s. They are, of course, quite correct. I do indeed dislike what has become a rather nasty urban legend, and I do complain when others continue to bring it up, as if it were true. Which I guess just shows how low I will stoop for a cheap punch line.

My apologies to Jim Nabors and the late Rock Hudson. I should really learn to censor myself before I try to censor others.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Therefore, my only other guess, Jrand, would be Pee Wee Herman, and just about any hand puppet.

A punch line is nearly always worth stooping for TCB. Of course with my imposing stature I do not have to stoop. The only Hollywood couple I can think of is the Newmans.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #67 on:** February 14, 2004, 02:06:16 PM »

Both guesses are incorrect.

I'm going to have to be off-line for a bit because the DSL people say they need the line free for testing, so keep the home fries burning until my return.

Gift update - I settled on a nice coffee table type book 1000 Chocolate Recipes. It's a lovely HUGE book.

Good luck DR Michael Shayne.

Great gift choice DRMatt

I haven't a clue as to the identity of the Valentine's day couple! My first thought was Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay. Maybe Lana Turner and somebody? I think I will need a few clues. Are they still married?

I think someone mentioned yesterday encountering "Big Spender" as an inappropriate audition song.

When Cy Coleman spoke at Hoftstra last year he told a little story about Peggy Lee. He had sent her a song and hadn't heard and hadn't heard, so he phoned her.

"Did you get the song?"

"Yes. What are you working on now?"

"Oh, I'm doing a show with Dorothy Fields. Have you looked at the song?"

"Yeah. What sort of a show is it?"

"A big jazzy thing, lots of dance. What did you think of the song?"

"Working on a number from the show?"

"Yes. What did you think of the song I sent you?"

"Play it for me. The number from the show."

"It really wouldn't be right for you. It's a big ensemble dance number."

"Play it."

"Bum bum de bum bum bum. The minute you walked in the joint..."

"Send it to me. I'll make it a hit."

TCB: Hey, we all tell tasteless, insulting jokes about celebrities sometimes--as if they weren't real people who could be hurt by it. But I remember what Liz Taylor said when she got out of rehab.

She was at an AIDS benefit with Joan Rivers, and Joan said, "You know Elizabeth, all those jokes I made about your weight... I did it for your own good, you know."

And Liz replied, "No. You did it for a cheap laugh, and you know it."

Jrand73 · « **Reply #76 on:** February 14, 2004, 03:08:32 PM »

No MBARNUM it's not Mickey & Jayne nor is it Lana Turner and 1 of 7.

Clue - it was the first marriage for both, but not the last.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #77 on:** February 14, 2004, 03:20:03 PM »

JRand: Thought of Bobby & Sandra but they were married in December. Colin suggested a Gabor with anyone! At least we are here for you!

JMK · « **Reply #78 on:** February 14, 2004, 03:29:56 PM »

Debbie & Eddie.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #79 on:** February 14, 2004, 03:38:29 PM »

All good choices but it was not Bobby & Sandy, Debbie & Eddie or ANY of the Gabors at ANY of their weddings.

JMK · « **Reply #80 on:** February 14, 2004, 03:46:59 PM »

Ooh, ooh, I know, I know:

Allison & Gabby Hayes.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #81 on:** February 14, 2004, 03:48:40 PM »

JMK - you go stand in the corner right now!

Matthew I agree the book is a great gift.

Michael Shayne I just finished reading “In a Deadly Vein”. I might get hooked on the series.

Echo & I had a very nice visit with our friends at the nursing home. I also exposed myself to a violent intestinal virus. The clothes I was wearing went directly into the washing machine.

We have decided to go out for dinner tonight. Our first choice of restaurants had one opening left, unfortunately they have a special menu tonight which doesn’t include many vegetarian dishes. Our second choice is booked until 9:30. So we will just go into town and “wing” it.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #83 on:** February 14, 2004, 04:16:52 PM »

DR's Jane & Keith.....winging it is as much fun as following a plan.....surprises!!!!

MBarnum · « **Reply #84 on:** February 14, 2004, 04:17:45 PM »

Ok, I did some sleuthing and came up with two possibilities.

From the looks of the hats and clothes it is in the 1950s. And as the bride is a blonde it must be either:

It might be Mari Blanchard and Reese H Taylor JR. (married 2/14/60). But as Mari, I think, was a brunette in 1960 I am going to go with my other choice..

Is it...could it be...Venetia Stevenson and Russ Tamblyn???

I was cutting a pineapple on a glass cutting board. Said cutting board somehow slipped off the counter and onto my foot. Ouch

Does anyone know if icing it is the way to go? (20 minutes on every little while). It hurts.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #86 on:** February 14, 2004, 04:26:41 PM »

Iced pineapple is so refreshing. Go for icing!

Jane · « **Reply #87 on:** February 14, 2004, 04:28:56 PM »

Yes ice it. I would do what you are doing. I gather the glass cutting board didn't cut you. I hope you have soft comfortable shoes to wear tomorrow.

'ello, Ducks! I finally got around to changing my profile photo, since the other one was too wide, and instead of pan and scan, the site squished me all up.

While I was playing with my photo program, I came up with these variations:
