Happy?  Should FJL be happy?  I don't know - is FJL EVER happy?  Someone called out the good work and help and this begs the question "Should I be happy?"

And yes, two of your lines got laughs.  The biggest laugh, however, was MINE - so there!  The final line of this stanza got the song's biggest laugh, along with the line that followed:

Yeah, I’ve been insane
And I’ve been a glutton
And I drank champagne
From Brooke Shields’ belly-button
That was creepy, but unique
In the movies of the week

And most of the following also garnered laughs.  Most of the last verse is FJL:


I tormented Jane Seymour
Then she killed me in a wood chipper
Then you got to see me more
A lot more, when I played a male stripper
I’ve played Mr. Right
A role I embraced
A shunned Menonite
And my brain was replaced
I’ve been normal, I’ve been freak
In The Movies of the Week

I’ve been seduced by Cybil Shephard
Played the President fighting terrorists (three times!)
And the pilot who dropped the A-bomb and he feels bad
I dated my kids’ nanny
Then I married my kids’ nanny
In sequel after sequel, the best au pair I’ve ever had
I played a psycho and a psycho, had a son I never knew at all who also was a psycho , can you follow that, you can’t
But that’s okay

No, seriously, BK.  I always ketchup first because getting here is easy, and then I do read the notes.  Quiz me.  i know more about your trip than you do.  :)

That is true.  Fred has mentioned that on several occasions.


TCB - Have I told you enough lately how much I treasure you?

And your keen memory?

Too many friends have made me watch things like the "Star Wars" movies (I stopped after the third, which is now the sixth) or movies by Steven Spielberg that I wouldn't seek out in lifetime and then they take offense if my mind wanders off or I start reading or gnawing off an arm to stave off the boredom.

I tend to shut down if people try to make me watch movies. Or most television programs. I stop paying attention and my mind goes blank.


Your mind would not go blank if I made you watch ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE.
I would want to watch Attack of the Puppet People.

Thank you, DR MBarnum.  I'm off now to take the cousins out for some fun - Jungle Jim's here we come!  Bye for now!


Looks like a fun market for a seven year old. :)

It was fun for his 50-year-old dad and 60-year-old second cousin, too!  Dan's going to cook a Japanese dinner for us tomorrow and found everything he needs.

Lucky you.  What is on the menu?

I'm not sure, DR Jane, but he bought enough ingredients to feed twice as many people as we have here.  C'mon over!

Ginny, it is none of my business (but when has that ever stopped me), is your second cousin's mother Japanese?

I just read that Seattle author Mary Daheim will be doing a book signing tomorrow afternoon.  I don't think I will be well enough to go.

I've not read any of her books.  Her Seattle series looks like fun.  Which one do you recommend I read first?

I have read all of the bed and breakfast series and a few of the Alpine series.  The Alpine series just doesn't really grab me.  The B & B is lite and frothy, and occasionaly reads like Lucy and Ethel solve a murder; but I really enjoy the characters.  And if you know Seattle at all, it is fun to figure out the real names of the places she talks about.

Thanks.  If I come across one I'll pick it up.  I've been to Seattle briefly a couple of times, certainly not enough to play the guessing game.  I am not a fan of Lucy & Ethel-lol.

The first "Star Wars" is brilliant. "Attack of the Puppet People" is pathetic.

I haven't lost any sleep over why people see Adam Sandler movies, either.

Ah, the classics. Like "Happy Madison." I've missed them, too.

Wherever that film festival is playing, the collective IQ in the room is in the lower double digits.
