Can Hieronymous Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe And Find True Happiness


What ever became of this film?  Why hasn't it ever been released onto home video?
I blame the lack on the film getting slapped with a X-rating.

R is acceptable.  XXX is a sure sales-getter.  A simple X - no one understands what that means.  How can you sell a film that has but a single X?

Or maybe I'll head to Flatbush tomorrow with my camera... Hmm... ;)


Or maybe take your camera to PAL JOEY, and try to stop the show?

What I do like about progressive lenses is there are no lines on the lenses. :)

BK - I purchased my copy of the new release and dutifully listed the names of the shows in the Additional Comments space.  However, Paypal bounced me through one extra step, so I am not sure the notes were still left intact.

Interesting!  After I posted this, I suddenly thought that intact didn't look right.  So, I did a word search on it and it came up saying, "Try also virginity."  Now I really wonder if I used the wrong word!

I think "virginity" is well out of it in your case, DR TCB.  "Intact" also means "whole" and applies to things other than anatomical parts.


I don't know about that, Ron.  There is one theory that if you go more years without sex, than years that you had sex; you are allowed to start again.

DR JRand58, did you ever get your DVDs of "Man of La Mancha" from various places? The vendor is having a good one-day sale at the moment.

Speaking of "Man of La Mancha," the third package that I received today was the book, Cardenio or the Second Maiden's Tragedy, attributed to William Shakespeare and John Fletcher.  The main character, Cardenio (a.k.a. Govianus, the deposed King), is "a bizzarre character in Cervantes's Don Quixote," which was first published in England around the time that this play was written.  I suggested this to TAO (the theater group with whom I've been working) as a possibility for their summer Shakespeare show.  They like to do different things, and probably no one's heard of this. :)

What happened to POOKA THE "F" DOG?

That's still in the mix...especially since there is a director who really wants to do the show.

DR Jane, I asked the doctor about that.  My new lenses will be bifocals, but they will be progressive; they won't have a distinct dividing line.  He said that 98% of lenses made now are progressive - the holdouts are elderly who only know the old method and don't want to switch.

That can't be a recent photo.  Just the other day Craig had a bad fall on the icy stairs at his apartment building.  The hospital said nothing was broken or torn, his ribs & left quad were badly bruised. 

Yep--I just noticed--no Comcast Building.

Hope DS Craig feels better.

I'm still trying to make sense of this post.  But something tells me otherwise.


I suppose you want photos, too?

That is interesting.  Adjusting the reading portion helped me to adjust to the lenses.  I expect the way you are doing it really will be easier, & I'm glad you won't have a line across the middle of your lenses ;)

The big problem with progressives, or even the old-style bifocals, is where they locate the change from one focus to another.  I've been wearing bifocals for years now, and still have problems.  What I really need are trifocals - for reading, for working with computers, and for real life.

I loved Into The Woods and Scrooge, and turned off Passion pretty early on (it was on tv or video or something).

My progressive lenses are at least tri.  Why haven't you changed yours?

But you ARE his mom...it's ok to ask :)   Vibes he recovers soon

Today I got my mom a plaque that says "Ask not what your mother can do for you, but what you can do for your mother"

It should look nice to her "My husband told me he would leave me if I go shopping one more time. Lordy how I'll miss that man" 

and "No man was ever shot while doing the dishes"

Danged union, only certain optometrists are acceptable for their discounts.  And getting an appointment, getting there (halfway across the state, of course), using up der B's valuable time because I sure as heck ain't driving... oh, wait, I'm still not driving yet.

I, too,wear a progressive lens, but it's not perfect. Some people LOVE them and take to them immediately. I did not. My optician thinks it was because there wasn't enough of a difference between my distance Rx and my reading Rx; indeed, as my reading Rx changed, the progressive lens because more comfortable.

I would quarrel with the doc who said that bifocals are only for the elderly who don't want to change. Because of the way the "smoothing" (changing from one Rx to another) is calculated, sometimes a patient cannot be fitted properly with a progressive lens. That is the consensus on my new progressives; "that's the best they can do" I've been told by both my optician and my pal, Dave. Whereas, if I chose a bifocal, the two Rxs could be correct.
