Well, you've read the notes, the notes had no flavor whatsoever, and now it is time for you to post until the flavorless cows come home.

Which calls to mind the only two "fix-it" rules you'll ever need:

[1] If it moves, and it's not supposed to, use duct tape.
[2] If it doesn't move, and it's supposed to, use WD-40.

With all the postings about Patrick Cassidy yesterday

Unless I missed it, did no one pick up on the lady with PC in the 42nd Street photo was his mother?

Also I had a chance to meet him although I had no scenes with him when he guested on the TV series Sirens.

I think he is very brave to let his hair go gray.

Yesterday I had a severe allergic reaction to something I ate for lunch. Nothing out of the ordinary, but at first I thought I was having a stroke or bell palsey. My left side of my face was distorted according to my coworkers. I couldn't see out of my left eye and my balance was off. Went to an emergency clinic and they gave me some Benedrill. Powerful stuff and it cleared t up. But I slept most of the rest of the day away.

I am ok now I hope

Not so sure I'd apply them to bowel disturbances.

Woody has now joined the walking wounded - I drove him to work at 6AM. His fever is down and he ate a lemon pastry for breakfast (he had a bowl of rice for dinner last night).

Good news about Woody, derBrucer.

Thank you. He is a terrible patient - almost as bad as I am.

My question for Dear BK Day:

Dear BK, have you ever eaten a crawdad?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 22, 2009, 06:04:10 AM »

Wednesday....much news posted about yesterday.....whew! Where else on all the internet can you find out such things?

Sam · « **Reply #15 on:** July 22, 2009, 06:35:44 AM »

Good morning.

The posts always have such good humor.

And I was born humorless. Don't think it can be learned either.

Sam · « **Reply #16 on:** July 22, 2009, 06:38:01 AM »

What would life be without a can of WD 40, everyone has a can somewhere in their house, garage, or apt., and probably at work too.

Sam · « **Reply #17 on:** July 22, 2009, 06:40:05 AM »

And of course, MOST EXCELLENT VIBES, for everyone for today.

Must go to work.

Wednesday morning greetings! It's a rainy day here in SW Ohio, which will make all my gardener friends very happy.

BK-

I asked this Question Two Weeks Ago and never got a reply...so again

Jerome Kern was signed to do the music for ANNIE GET YOUR GUN and died.Irving Berlin was signed on and we know what that score Is. However,it would be interesting to know what Kern would have come up with.

What existing Musical would you have liked to have been written by another Composer and Why?

Don't forget to give my regards to Kevin

Morning, all.

It's supposed to be a hot and muggy day here in Manhattan. We are meeting a friend for lunch at

Maoz

an international "quick service" vegetarian establishment on Park Avenue South between 16th and 17th Streets (technically it's 38 Union Square East and to confuse things even more at 14th Street Park Avenue South turns back into the original street name 4th Avenue).

I've never been there but our friend is having health issues and prefers to eat veggie when possible so we will try it out with her.

The flagship sandwich is described thusly:

The famous Maoz sandwich is home baked pita bread filled with crispy, handmade Falafel balls which are made from chickpeas, a vitamin rich legume, packed with plenty of proteins, minerals and vitamin B. The chickpeas are blended daily with fresh spices and vegetables and then fried in zero trans-fat Canola oil.

I remember them, but I never liked them. I guess I preferred either real cola/soda or Kool-Aid.

Ben · « **Reply #23 on:** July 22, 2009, 07:39:02 AM »

I remember Fizzies but not in a packet like that. I never much cared for them either. I also don't remember having to add sugar. Maybe things were different in Coon Rapids.

Good morning!

Coolish (but not as cool as the last couple of mornings), but we're in for high 80s today, so no relief. We did have some rain during the night, but all that means is I'll be mowing the grass before I want to.

My work project today will be the upcoming Blu-ray release of SLING BLADE. I liked the movie very much when I saw it during its theatrical release, but I don't think I've seen it since, so I'll be interested to see how it holds up. I knew nothing about Billy Bob Thornton when I saw the movie so I had no idea how much was a performance. Of course, having seen him a lot in subsequent years, I know what a convincing job he did here.

Matt H. · « **Reply #26 on:** July 22, 2009, 07:44:08 AM »

There are a bunch of bonus features on the disc including a commentary, so I'll be working on this for a good part of the day.

Matt H. · « **Reply #27 on:** July 22, 2009, 07:52:19 AM »

Well, plans change in the blink of an eye! The UPS truck just made a delivery: the Fox Blu-rays of THE TOWERING INFERNO and PRISON BREAK: THE FINAL BREAK, so TOWERING INFERNO will have to be dealt with today since it more than a week past street date.

Saw BK's semi-beloved Musso and Frank in a very funny skit in Tracey Takes On...., which I just reviewed. Have you ever had lunch with Ruby Romaine, BK?
