DR Panni: You had better watch out, or BK might have you in charge permanently!

I don't think so. My cheerleading days are numbered.

Well, I lied. I was all prepared to sit down and watch LOST IN TRANSLATION, but I saw the Claudette Colbert/Louise Beavers IMITATION OF LIFE just sitting there begging to be watched, and I couldn't help myself. It's not as glossily campy as the Lana Turner/Juanita Moore version that Ross Hunter produced, but it's very much a movie of its era and still quite entertaining.

Claudette Colbert had quite a 1934 for herself: IMITATION OF LIFE, CLEOPATRA, and on loan out to near-poverty row Columbia to do a little nothing picture called IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT which just happened to win her an Oscar. What actress wouldn't have envied her a year like that!

HHW is really such a wonderful place and I am grateful for everyone's concern about Freddy!

He has still not returned and I took another drive around the neighborhood. I haven't seen any of my close neighbors yet to inquire as to whether they have seen hide or hair of him, but I did go to the Humane Society and they were very nice and helpful. They took me to the stray cat section (he wasn't there) and had me fill out a "lost cat" form. I also looked through the files of cats that have been found but not brought into the HS, and I also looked at the DOA file (very sad...fortunately no Freddy was listed!)

DR Jennifer, yes Freddy goes out everyday in the morning. He often stays outside most of the day but is always back inside to eat and sleep. He likes to explore but usually only explores my back yard or my neighbor Judy's back yard (and plays with Judy's cats who are his best pals). And as to DR Dan's story, that could very likely be the case. Freddy is so friendly and loves people I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone took him in for a few days...although he has a collar and tags and is obviously very well fed, so they should realize that he belongs to someone.

Anyway, don't want to bring everyone down, however. On the upside it is a beautiful sunny warm day and my neice gets married in 4 and 1/2 hours! In fact I must do some things and get my suit laid out , etc. Keep the home fries burning and hopefully BK will be back from the land of the computerless by the time I log on again this evening (or tomorrow).

Oh, and DR Jane, LOL there is NO way you could have EVER have been considered a plain Jane!!! You were, and I imagine still are, one most attractive gal!!!

Panni · « **Reply #126 on:** April 02, 2004, 01:37:28 PM »

MBarnum - Wouldn't it be wonderful if Freddy were back by the time you came home from the wedding! Maybe if we all concentrated on that thought...

We're doing surprisingly well, considering our fearless leader is missing. Keep posting, troops! Let's make this not just a good day, but an incredibly good day!

Speaking of which (g'day, that is) -- Where's Tomovoz? He's missing all my superb cheerleading routines.

Ann · « **Reply #127 on:** April 02, 2004, 01:37:49 PM »

Good afternoon from the gorgeous northwest.

TCB - I do hope you find a hat hanging place soon! I would suggest my own complex (about a mile from where you are now) because the rent is very reasonable, the neighbors are nice, etc...only pets aren't allowed here, and I know you wouldn't want to leave your babies behind.

My uncle just sent me a bunch of mock "Bush/Cheney" bumper stickers, and at the risk of offending someone (I hope I don't!) I have to share a few that I thought was just too funny -

Bush/Cheney '04: Because you don't change horsemen mid-Apocalypse.

Bush/Cheney '04: Because the truth just isn't good enough.

Bush/Cheney '04: Compassionate Colonialism

Bush/Cheney '04: In your heart, you know they might or could be technically correct.

Bush/Cheney '04: Putting the "con" in conservatism

Bush/Cheney '04: How Did Our Oil Get Under Their Sand?

Freddy my love, I miss you more than words can say
Freddy my love, please keep in touch while you're away
Hearing from you can make the day so much better
just a souvenier or even a letter
I really flipped over the great cashmere sweater
Freddy my love,
Freddy my love,
Freddy my love
Freddy you know, your absense makes me feel so blue
That's okay though, your presents make me think of you
Mama will have a heart-attack when she catches
Those little bushes with the black leather patches
Oh how I wish I had a jacket that matches,
Freddy my love
Freddy my love,
Freddy my love,
Freddy my love
Don't keep your letters from me, I quilt to every line
Your spelling's kinda crummy,
but honey so is mine I treasure every gifty,
the ring is really nifty
You say it cost you fifty, so you're drifty, I don't mind
Whoa - Freddy you see,
you'll hold me in your arms someday
(Freddy my love)
And I will be wearing your lacy lingerie
(Freddy I'm yours)
Thinking about it, my heart's pounding already
Knowing when you come home, we're bound to go steady
And through your service pay around my confetti,

I don't think we'll get Freddy back with those amusing misprints in the Freddy My Love lyric. I suspect that TD went to one of these websites with lyrics, and, as often happens, the lyrics are misquoted because somone hasn't truly comprehended the record they're transcribing.
Now, I know this is nit-picky, but the lyric's a whole lot more amusing in correct form:

Quote

just a souvenier or even a letter
I really flipped over the great cashmere sweater

should be:

getting a souvenir or maybe a letter
I really flipped over the gray cashmere sweater

Quote

Mama will have a heart-attack when she catches
Those little bushes with the black leather patches

should be

My Ma will have a heart-attack when she catches
Those pedal pushers with the black leather patches

Quote

I quilt to every line

should be

I thrill to every line

Quote

You say it cost you fifty, so you're drifty

should be

You say it cost you fifty, so you're thrifty

Quote

And through your service pay around my confetti

should be

And throw your service pay around like confetti

Good thing Bk isn't here right now. If he doesn't like thongs, one can only imagine what he'd make of

Those little bushes with the black leather patches

Back to the 1934 IMITATION OF LIFE a second. I guess Warren William was considered a matinee idol back in 1934 (he played Julius Caesar to Claudette's Cleopatra, too), but really he seems too old for Claudette not to mention Rochelle Hudson. Wonder why Cary Grant wasn't approached to take the part? I guess he was still undeer contract to Paramount then (or maybe RKO), but he would have been so handsome and gallant in that role, just like John Gavin was in the 1959 version. Cary played similar parts in I'M NO ANGEL and BLONDE VENUS, so I wonder if he was even considered.

Searching the Humane Society for a lost pet is heart breaking. I unfortunately have been there. I shall continue to send good thoughts and vibes to Freddy to return home soon.

Do have a good time at the wedding.

I just did a triple backflip while waving pom-poms and balancing a tray. (The tray is a uniqe touch, never before seen in the annals of cheerleading.) An awesome sight, if I do say so myself.

The only cheerleading routine I know is The Village People's "Y. M. C. A." - a man can get hurt doing it. . . .

Hey some people like black leather patches with their bushes. (There should be a Monty Python sketch about shrubbery stealing pirates. . . .)

Hey, the tray isn't that unique! I do all that every day at work, I'm certain that Swishy does, too. It's especially fascinating to see when one is serving a party of twenty. . . .sometime those pom-poms just end up in all the wrong places. . .

DR MBarnum: Do let us know about Freddy. I'm sure you're right and someone took him in. I just hope he gets fed.

Try DR Emily's idea about putting cans of cat food by your door.

Btw, going out for Chinese food now. Yum!

The line at the Cathedral post office was ridiculously long, way beyond the cordons, so, I walked up to the post office that's near the Cathedral, where the line was also ridiculously long, way beyond the cordons. Still, that newer post office is a much more pleasant place. They don't have any glass between you and the clerk at that one, while at the Cathedral post office the glass is very thick, bullet-proof. What a difference 8 blocks makes.
At least I had Benjamin Kritzer with me, and enjoyed the Passover with Susan Pomeroy in attendance. I've not been invited to a seder this year, so can't drag in a shiksa to witness all that goes on.
