Well, you've read the notes, the notes had expectations that naturally were not met, and now it is time for you to post until the expectant cows come home.

[bk]

And the word of the day is: PUNGLE!

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone.

I woke up with a sore throat again and spent the day watching old Sherlock Holmes movies. I don't have the sinus thingy that DR Jose and so many others have--just some other sort of virus. Hopefully, it'll be short-lived.

[Ben]

Morning all.

That is all.

[Ben]

Oatmeal,  pecans, cinnamon and dried strawberries and coffee.

I think Dear Larry is traveling today.

Good Vibes to you sir!

[elmore3003]

Good morning, all! Thank you, DR Ben, for the vibes! I have been outof bed since 6:30, and I am all packed and ready to go. My flight isn't till 4pm, so I'll leave here around 1pm. JoAnn told me this morning that Tom is back, so that's a good reason to get the hell out of Dodge.

I slept poorly last night, partly because of the anxiety about the flight and partly because Randy and I have not spoken since he returned on Saturday night. We've been angry at each other before, and I hope we'll get through this one. Luckily he's married to JoAnn and I adore her, so I really want to do nothing to affect my relationship with my sister-in-law and my nephew Matt. This round of fighting is much less worse than the one we had in 1974 - I still cringe over some of my behavior to him then - but I doubt either of us has matured since 1974!

So, this morning, I need a trip to the Post Office to send back a carton of things I don't need to carry with me, and I will go to the cemetary to see Mom, Dad, and my Uncle Bob who died this year. My cousin Tom is also buried in the same area. I'll also stop by the graves of Sam Lato, who died at the age of 19 in a car wreck in 1965, and Mike Taulbee, who died at the age of 21 in 1979.

I'll stop back before I leave today.

Keep those travel vibes coming!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Monday Success Vibes for DRJohnG and all others! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy Cyber Monday to one and all.

Good morning.

Regarding Leslie Nielsen, here is a short excerpt from my book:

Another time that I was with a publicity client in the green room at the Robert Q. Lewis
radio show, I chatted with Leslie Nielsen, who was also guesting that day. This was
long before he reinvented himself as a comic actor by appearing in Airplane.

Nielsen was under contract then to Universal, doing episodic television
and “B” movies…and he was very unhappy about it. “I sold out my
career for money,” he said. “I have nobody to blame but myself."

Maybe Nielsen wasn’t doing the kind of roles he wanted, but at least
he was working steadily, which is more than you can say for most actors.

You see and hear some very interesting things in green rooms.

Things (and careers) certainly change, don't they?

[Druxy]

My favorite Leslie Nielsen line (from SCARY MOVIE 4):

"I want to hear what happens to the duck."

[FJL]

Travel vibes to Elmore.

[Jrand73]

Travel vibes for DR ELMORE.

Interview vibes for DR JOHN G.

[Jrand73]

Interesting article that DR JOSE posted about Spiderman: The Musical.

I guess my question would be WHY produce such a thing?  Money, I guess.....tourist trade.....I've never met a SPIDERMAN fanatic who had more than $20 in the bank.

[Jrand73]

Yes DR JMK - I am using EBATES and getting money back on my EBAY wins.

As DR JMK said.....just log in through the EBATES site, which is easy to do.

I asked about how you got money for me joining the thing, but I didn't see your response, so I joined without using you as a reference......

My Frances Farmer book has shipped and should be delivered tomorrow, I shall look for your name to be mentioned......and probably taken in vain.

[Jrand73]

I always enjoyed Mr Leslie Nielsen's performances, so I shall mention one that is probably not his best remembered:

Mr Richard Manley and the Carroll Baker version of HARLOW.

[Jrand73]

Today is Aldi's day.

[John G.]

Morning, all.

[John G.]

Travel vibes for DR Elmore (and thank you all for the vibes for this morning).

[Laura]

Vibes for the interview, John G.!

[John G.]

TOD: "Forbidden Planet"
"Airplane" movies
"Naked Gun" movies, especially the one with Pia Zadora

I would love to see "The Creature Wasn't Nice" again.

[Jrand73]

I shall return.

You can take that as a promise or a threat.

[FJL]

Interview vibes to John G

[Druxy]

I would love to see "The Creature Wasn't Nice" again.

I would like to see it for the first time.

How about it, BK?

And the word of the day is: PUNGLE!

And The Song Of The Day Is:  BIG SPENDER

[Charles Pogue]

TOD: Of course, I remember Leslie Neilsen fondly from his AIRPLANE and POLICE SQUAD/NAKED GUN comedies.  But I think I first became aware of him as Francis Marion, the Revolutionary War guerrilla fighter, known as THE SWAMP FOX, that was anthologized on Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, back in the early sixties.  I also love him as the charming bad guy in THE SHEEPMAN, that starred Glenn Ford.

[Dan (the Man)]

TOD:

What I enjoy most about Mr. Leslie Nielsen is how he took advantage of his AIRPLANE transformation and forged a whole new career for himself.  He thrived in this later years, which is quite an accomplishment in show biz.

Favorite performances:
AIRPLANE
POLICE SQUAD (TV Series)
THE NAKED GUN movies
FORBIDDEN PLANET

[Laura]

Spats still won't leave me alone. He sat outside the bedroom door and cried, so I got up and slept on the sofa and he cuddled all night.

Interesting article that DR JOSE posted about Spiderman: The Musical.

I guess my question would be WHY produce such a thing?  Money, I guess.....tourist trade.....I've never met a SPIDERMAN fanatic who had more than $20 in the bank.

I've been quite the skeptic about this one since I first heard about it and followed the horror stories that have been leaking out about its problems and runaway budget and the director to whom money was no object.  But over the past few weeks, as I seen the clips and read the articles that gave some idea about what Julie Taymor was trying to create, I have to admit that I am more than intrigued and I'm hoping that this wont turn into a total disaster.  While I still worry that if this show turns into a runaway success that it will come to define theatre to its audiences (and to producers and theatre owners who will smell cash in huge circus spectaculars), I do admire its scope and vision.

Monday morning greetings!  It's a cold and blindingly sunny day here in SW Ohio.  I have more halls to deck and a walk to take around the basement.  Might try to increase my time.
