At last - innovative musical theatre returns:


A VERY MERRY
UNAUTHORIZED
CHILDREN'S SCIENTOLOGY
PAGEANT
The OBIE Winning Play by Kyle Jarrow
Directed by Andrew Lloyd Baughman

Quote
A jubilant cast of children celebrate the controversial
Church of Scientology in uplifting pageantry and
song. Portraying Tom Cruise, the intergalactic ruler
Xenu and a dancing brain, among others, the OBIE
Award-winning play explains and dissects the actual
teachings of Scientology against the candy-colored
backdrop of a traditional nativity play.

A dancing brain - why hasn't someone thought of this before!

I just read that LEVERAGE had 3.1 million viewers for its second episode broadcast on Tuesday night. Those are OK numbers, certainly not approaching the popularity of THE CLOSER but certainly enough to keep the show on the air for the rest of its season.

I told my friends about it at lunch, and though none of them had seen the previous two episodes, I got several to agree to watch next week's episode.

My afternoon surfing is over now so I must head downstairs to clean the bedrooms (didn't get to it this morning; slept late again) and then get back to leisure viewing.

And, thankfully, it's a show you can jump right into without having seen the previous episodes.

If you're still long-jogging walking from the bedroom to the bathroom at 101 - be very thankful!

ABC PARAMOUNT--Our music sounds like it goes through a loopy rainbow thing!

That loopy thing is a Möbius strip - a one-dimensional surface (it only has one side).

How that relates to the sound waves passing through escapes me.

A talking frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller.
He sees right away from her window nameplate that her
name is Patricia Whack. (He can read too!)

"Miss Whack, I would like to get a $30,000 loan in order to take a
holiday," he says.

Patty looks at the frog in disbelief. In keeping with bank policy
pertaining to customer relations, she asks the frog his name.

The frog says that his name is Kermit Jagger, adds the fact that his dad
is Mick Jagger, and that it is ok to give him the loan as he knows the
bank manager personally.

Patty explains that he will have to secure the loan with some
collateral, to which the frog replies, "Sure, no problem, I have this"
and produces a tiny porcelain elephant about half an inch tall, bright
pink and perfectly formed.

Very confused, Patty explains that she will have to consult with the
bank manager and disappears into the back office.  She finds the
manager and says, "There's a frog at my window who says his name
is Kermit Jagger, he claims to know you and says his dad is Mick Jagger...
AND he want to use this as collateral."

She holds up the tiny elephant and says "I mean, what in the world is this thing???"













The bank manager looks back at her and says,
"It's a knick-knack, Patty Whack, give the frog a loan.
His old man's a Rolling Stone."

Good morning!

It's been raining pretty hard off and on since I've been awake today, and the rest of the day promises more of the same. At least it's still warm (for November, that is).


.......... but this is December!

Druxie - are YOU another Sag??? Wow - happy belated birthday wishes to you, too.

No, I'm a Pisces.  My birthday isn't until February 23rd.

It's always easy to remember, because it's the day after George Washington's.


Which one of you is older?

Thanks, DRs der Brucer and TCB.

My eyes are very blurry from my exam, but everything checked out OK and I don't even need to change my prescription.

Thank you DR TCB.  He now has an interview on Wednesday in NY.  On Thursday he is heading our way.  I hope any follow-up conversations can be made long distance.
