MB in Vegas....did CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG close in London?  

I have been trying to think of a response to DinTO's post, but couldn't.  I can only add the the quote heard by William Goldman during the intermission of Judy Garland At Home at the Palace in 1967....two businessmen on their way back to their wives.

B #1:  I don't know.....is it theatre?
B #2:  It's gotta be theatre.
B #1:  Why?
B #2:  It sure as hell ain't singin'!

Jrand - I don't drive.  And I notice that since my post last week we've been getting only one page dance per page (not two or three) and a lot less "countdowns to the new page".

Since "Sorry Wrong Numbers" was mentioned, I'll repeat what a said here some time ago.  The radio version may have been considered scary when it was first broadcast, but now it reminds me of a Shelley Berman, Bob Newhart or Nichols and May routine with a woman trying to make herself understood by a telephone operator.

"A joke yes.  We will laugh in the car."  Name that movie.

We must not lose our haineshisway.com sense of humor now.  That is what separates the wheat from the chaff or whatever the HELL that saying is.

And remember - they will feel the Wrath of Kahn and the Ire of Meyer.

LOL.

Can anyone guess the author of this poem:

A Young Man's Broken Heart

Well, it was a frail thing anyway;
So brittle and yet untried by different temperatures that
To heat it with such fires and then douse it with such icy blasts
Was sure to break it.

And the scattered pieces twisted into such desperate shapes
That it seemed a shame to pick them up and mold them back again.
So he left them there in tragic comforting forlorness.
He'll have to get a new one now, I guess.

I have a running joke with one of the guys at work.  He can't believe I'm going all the way to Utah to see MB and that I'm going to the concert twice.

"But it's going to be the SAME show!"  He says.

"And your POINT?" I reply.

Danise, if you want to, you can tell your friend this example of fan-dom:  My niece loved a British singing group called STEPS (they made their dance steps easy to learn so that all of their fans could dance along with them).  Anyway, my niece bought a lot of their stuff on eBay and saw tickets for sale...tickets for concerts in England!  She talked her mother (my sister) and her mother's boyfriend into getting the tickets for her!  It was December 2001 (only three months after 9/11) and flights were cheap.  So cheap that for my Chrismas present, my sister and her boyfriend bought ME a flight to go along with them.  Larry (my sister's boyfriend) ended up not going, but the three of us went from Washington State all the way to England strictly for the purpose of seeing STEPS in concert!  And since we were going all that way, they figured that we might as well see them twice.  Which we did, like you're going to do!  So, going from Florida to Utah is NOTHING!

We did get to see some "legitimate" shows while we were there...Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with Brendan Fraser, Frances O'Connor and Ned Beatty, Starlight Express and Kiss Me, Kate with Marin Mazzie and the WSMA (World's Sexiest Man Alive in HHW lingo):  Brent Barrett!  And many CDs were purchased by my niece and I.

I taped the Internet broadcast of Sunset Boulevard last week with MB and Petula Clark.  It was the whole show, not just the songs, and it's pretty good (unless you don't like the show to begin with).

I'd love to see MB in concert.  Hope you have a great time!

DR Danise, I totally understand. As long as you are traveling so far, you should see the show twice. We do that, too.

Well, I love SORRY WRONG NUMBER. Stanwyck is a calculating, manipulative bitch, and yet when the end drew near, I didn't want her to be murdered. For me, that slow dawning on her as the puzzle pieces begin to fall into place makes the film very worthwhile.

I know Michael Ball is a big star in England, but CHITTY certainly isn't about to close because he leaves the show. He was replaced some months ago.

Recipe time.

This time, we're making HUSH PUPPIES!  And they taste a heck of a lot better than shoe leather!

In a nice bowl, mix 1/2 cup flour, 1 and a half cups yellow cornmeal, a tablespoon brown sugar, a pinch of salt, 2 tablespoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.  To this, stir in an egg and a cup of buttermilk (or regular milk) until blended.  Fold in a finely chopped onion.

Heat some oil (peanut oil is recommended because of it's high smoke point, but keep things well ventilated) to the depth of 2 or 3 inches in a deep skillet, until very hot, about 375 degrees.  Drop the "hush puppies" into the oil by spoonfulls and let fry, turning once, until golden on all sides.  Drain on a rack or paper towels, and serve warm with butter.

Well, with butter and pancake syrup, or molasses is good, too.  

One problem with this recipe is that it doesn't divide well, because of that "one egg" thing.  On the other hand, the reason they're called "hush puppies" is because cooks in early American days would toss the fried batter bits to the dogs, to keep them from begging too much in the kitchen.

Howzat!  American cultural trivia and a recipe at the same time!

Today I helped my Dear Mother celebrate Mother's Day by taking her shopping for a toilet seat for the new toilet we went shopping for a couple of weeks ago.

Am I a good son or what?

It should be an interesting week of television this time around.  Not only do we have a Dick Van Dyke reunion on Tuesday, and a Carol Burnett special on Wednesday, but there is also the telefilm version of Madeline L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time tomorrow.  I'm hoping this turns out well, since L'Engle never doubted the intelligence of her reading audience.

That's right!  

Oh, horror, you think!

But, thankfully, the new toilet sits in the Dear Mother's guest bathroom, so she was neither inconvenienced nor chilled in unseemly fashion during this period at all.
