Have a good cut, DR JRand.

[Matt H.]

Now I'm going to head downstairs to clean up for my lunch out with friends later.

WBBL.

[JoseSPiano]

I can tell you the first one I ever remember hearing, and it made me blush to hear it: on the original cast LP of MY FAIR LADY.

Rex Harrison says all those damns at the start of "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face." My father came running into my bedroom when I was first playing it and said, "What kind of records are you buying!"

I also blushed the first time I heard Ethel Merman sing on the GYPSY cast LP, "Some people sit on their butts."

(I know, sounds very innocent, but I was a very innocent kid back then.)

LOL!  I remember thinking I had to turn the record player volume down low whenever I played the cast albums of A CHORUS LINE and CHICAGO when my parents were nearby.

I still remember the first time I realized that they were singing "Shit, Ritchie" during "Hello Twelve.." was while my mom was driving me to party and I had put a cassette of A CHORUS LINE on in the car... Fast-forward!

Did I read somewhere that someone important is going to die on THE MENTALIST tonight? I have no idea who (did I dream this?)

Well, there is this from TVGUIDE

The Mentalist’s arch enemy, Red John, who brutally butchered Patrick Jane’s wife and child, makes his next terrorizing appearance on the CBS hit’s November 19 episode, titled, His Red Right Hand. “It begins with a recently murdered body found in a cemetery, and then takes some twists and turns involving Red John,” says the episode’s writer, coexecutive producer Ashley Gable. “It is clear they are dealing with something much darker. And our [main cast] will be in

And there is this TV Guide teaser:

Which two Mentalist actors will be gone after this week’s return of Red John? CBS’ hit drama is about to change dramatically!

TOD:

I never use the "C" word and don't even like to type it out.  To me, that's in a category with hate-filled words that are not part of my normal vocabulary.

Stupid "C" is my favorite bash-down of a member of either sex. (Used when I intend to inflict maximum pain.)

And the word of the day is: SMALTO!

I find it unseemly to comment on the size of anyone's to.

TCB, Levitra is that little pill you've been taking.  You are in Genoa.

I am going to get my hair cut.

The heck with that -

I'm going for a full Brazilian Butt Lift!

Thursday morning greetings!  Our holiday season got a nice early boost last night from White Christmas on stage at the Aronoff Center in Cincinnati.  Our balcony seats were great for seeing the big picture of the sets and choreography and my mom and I used our matching opera glasses to take in the faces and costumes.  Alas, DR Jose, accessing the pit rail was not possible, but I did enjoy Andy's keyboard when it was prominent in "Count Your Blessings," between the part Bob sings to Susan and the part the Bob and Betty sing together.

While we were waiting in the lobby before the show, Rob looked up and said, "There's Aunt Kathy!"  Sure enough, there was my sister-in-law (Richard's younger brother's wife) and a friend from work. They have season tickets for seats across the aisle in the row in front of us.  She was very surprised to see us there.  We also ran into a church organist we know, who was there with his sister.

[JoseSPiano]

Well... No breakfast. No meeting. Somebody overslept. Ah, well. Time to get ready for the beefcake.

Laters...

MSN is "conveniently" providing me two copies of every email this morning.

TOD - one of the refreshing things about the show we saw last night was the absence of these words.

Yes, indeedy, the curse of a family musical!

I have no idea why in my mucked up brain I would ever agree to pick up music at 9:30, since I arrived at 9:55, thanks to a slow bus schedule and few available taxis during rush hour. So, I have some charts to write for teachers for the School of Ethical Culture Christmas party. I've got some writing to do for Brent's Birdland appearance to promote "Christmas Mornings" but I also need to ascertain the date for these performances. The lightbulb just went off to tell me I could Google the info so I will.

[elmore3003]

Found it! December 13 and 14. Okay.

Back to Moross.

BK,

Since you brought up the subject of the "F word," I have no idea where/when it originated, but I had always thought that the letters stood for: "Fornicate Upon Command of the King".

Yes?  No?

Urban legend - and there are about twenty others like it.

[bk]

From BK yesterday:
Back from a productive meeting at which I finally got the co-author to have an epiphany about the biggest problem in the show.  With one word he understood what was wrong with one of our leading characters and he knows now exactly how it has to be fixed.  It will fix so many problems once he's addressed the major problem with the character.

What was the one word that turned on the lightbulb?

Whining.

[Jennifer]

I don't really use swear words.

I was able to get my H1N1 shot no problem (i went with my niece).

Interestingly we went to a place not in our area. And there was nobody there. We got there at 10:15am and they handed us a coupon for 10am. And we walked right in. They took us faster than we could fill out our forms.

So far my arm is feeling fine.

[bk]

I'm up and shall definitely be jogging in forty five minutes.

I tell the story in Kritzer Time, but when I first got the soundtrack to West Side Story and played it at top volume, at the end of Gee, Officer Krupke and the "Krup you" my father came running in the den yelling about the filthy language and threatening to take the record away.  I played it for him again, and I he realized what it was and that was that.

[MBarnum]

DR MBarnum - "Breakfast" now. "Beefcake" later. I hope.

And that is the way it should be, of course.

I remember my sisters playing the OST over and over on that track to figure what exactly they were saying.

Remember the halcyon days of lifting up the tone arm and trying to place it back on the LP in the approximate correct place?

The curse of progress - 78 grooves were wider spaced and it was easier to place the needle arm where desired.

Of course then there were those pesky cylinders....

[Ron Pulliam]

But isn't a Brazilian buttlift a kind of oxymoron...Brazil being "south" of the border and all.  That seems to be the reason "for" a butt lift, doesn't it?

[Ron Pulliam]

For those of us who still use turntables....yesterday has halcyon.

But, yes....it was always a delicate task...especially if a party was ongoing and alcohol was being consumed.
