Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fruity and filled with feeling, and now it is time for you to post until the fruity cows come home.

I was working on a list for the TOD before I realized the topic was  "all-time favorite girl-group songs?" - not girl-grope songs.

Subway wants your breakfast business

Quote
...
From my perspective, Subway has several major hurdles that will be hard to overcome. First, they don't typically have drive-through service, which is so popular during breakfast hours. (Who gets up early enough to go inside for a leisurely breakfast? I suspect most Egg McMuffins are consumed on the freeway during the drive to work, in between checking e-mail and applying makeup.)

...

Checking e-mail while driving - the writer must go on drive-alongs with our esteemed host.

As far as the new disaster film "2012" is concerned, the world will end with both a bang and a whimper, the bang of undeniably impressive special effects and the whimper of inept writing and characterization. You pays your money, you takes your chances.

In fact, it's hard to say what leaves the more lasting impression, how realistically director Roland Emmerich has destroyed Los Angeles (it's the third try, after "Independence Day" and "The Day After Tomorrow," practice apparently making perfect) or how difficult a time the actors have bringing any life to the script by Emmerich and Harald Kloser.

Nothing, not even a season of Shakespeare at Stratford-upon-Avon, will give you more respect for how difficult it is to be an actor than watching top talent like John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet and Oliver Platt struggling to treat the film's ungodly language and situations with perfect seriousness.

The deeper truth, of course, is that it doesn't really matter and everyone with a hand in "2012" knows as much. Audiences with a hankering for the apocalypse shrug off the ridiculous and sit tight for the special effects. In this case, they are worth the wait.

FIRST U.S. MARIJUANA CAFE OPENS IN PORTLAND

PORTLAND, Oregon —  The United States' first marijuana cafe opened on Friday, posing an early test of the Obama administration's move to relax policing of medical use of the drug.

The Cannabis Cafe in Portland, Oregon, is the first to give certified medical marijuana users a place to get hold of the drug and smoke it — as long as they are out of public view — despite a federal ban.

"This club represents personal freedom, finally, for our members," said Madeline Martinez, Oregon's executive director of NORML, a group pushing for marijuana legalization.

"Our plans go beyond serving food and marijuana," said Martinez. "We hope to have classes, seminars, even a Cannabis Community College , based here to help people learn about growing and other uses for cannabis."

The cafe — in a two-story building which formerly housed a speak-easy and adult erotic club Rumpspankers — is technically a private club, but is open to any Oregon residents who are NORML members and hold an official medical marijuana card.
…
"I still run a coffee shop and events venue, just like I did before we converted it to the Cannabis Cafe, but now it will be cannabis-themed," said Eric Solomon, the owner of the cafe, who is looking forward to holding marijuana-themed weddings, film festivals and dances in the second-floor ballroom.


I bet there’s a real market for a rural venue with an Olympic Pool to host cannabis themed Bar-Mitzvahs!

Who will mourn the pasing of Rumpspankers!

LOL.....strange doings at Broadwayworld.com last night.  Oh well.  Didn't sound like the DR that MR BK thought it was, but then he was basing his thoughts on a personal email, so there you are.

ANYWAY....so much for being helpful.  I probably should have stayed out of the whole thing.

Thanks DR Jane for the update on DR Danise.

It was very upsetting to read that she is still not home. I guess if she just had running water and a toilet that she could probably move back. I wonder why that wasn't done first.

Vibes for her. I wish there was something we could do. I feel awful for her.

This sounds like a real uplifting movie.

TOD:

The one tune that immediately comes to mind is "Pennsylvania Polka" by The Andrews Sisters.

I guess that makes me pretty old.

Now I will be thinking of Andrews Sisters harmonies all day.  There are worse things!

They are a favorite girl group of mine as well.

The Supremes of course had several great records.....Baby Love and Stop! In the Name of Love are a couple of my favorites.

But if I had to choose a FAVORITE girl group, which the TOD asks us to do.....it would be The McGuire Sisters.  Their version of  "Sincerely" is one of my favorite tunes.

Actually, DR JRand59, the TOD is Girl Group SONGS.   But I'm sure either would be fine.         :)

Now that he can't defend his male honor, the green puff ball is all that is left to him.

Good morning!

We have a very mild morning going on here, and a completely blue sky with not a cloud in it. Gorgeous! I really enjoyed my walk this morning.

I will definitely be doing JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK, the only one of the Kevin Smith films in the Blu-ray set that I haven't seen before. And I've had the two-disc special edition DVD sitting on my to-watch shelf for three or four years and never got around to it. Now, best friend John will inherit that.

BTW, that special DVD edition has a ton of bonus features that were not ported over to the Blu-ray. I'm sure that didn't make fans of the movie very happy.

I happened to catch a little of GIGI on TCM-HD yesterday. They did not use the Blu-ray encode for the film in that presentation. It was clearly an upconverted standard definition image that was being presented. I know bk was not a fan of GIGI on Blu-ray, but it is a masterpiece transfer compared to the smeary sludge that TCM showed yesterday in HD.

Looking forward to watching SUPERNATURAL while I eat lunch today. And since JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKES BACK is a relatively short movie (less than two hours), I should have some time tonight to watch some other things for fun, too.

Good Morning.
TOD:  The first song that comes to mind is "Foolish Little Girl"  by the Shirelles (I think).  There are lots of these songs that I like, and many that I like better, but that is popped into this tired brain.
