Yep, he was in it looking very hunky indeed, but his and Dorothy Lamour's romance was not much to write home about - very sedate.

Guess what? Frances was supposed to be in that, too, doing "a specialty number." I have pre-production PR on the film where she's one of the headliners. Golden Boy came along, and the rest, as they say.....

I was another big fan of Gilmour's Albums. And 17 Blocks of Broadway was also a big favorite. I preferred it to its successor, Say It With Music, which after many years has just gone off the air.

Could all who are coming to our house this weekend for the NW HHW get-together PLEASE RSVP me ASAP (my that's several acronyms in a row, isn't it?). Could y'all let me know when you will be showing up and if you understand the directions that were emailed to you. Please remember I will be at the Tigard Pops Choir concert until at least 12:30 or so.

RSVP with arrival time to: jmkauffman@aol.com

JMK I was just about to post. You missed my Bogie story yesterday. He suddenly had to have surgery today. Once I know he is okay, I will know if I’m going to Portland.

It is interesting how things turn out. If we had found a sitter and Keith planned to go, we would have cancelled the trip yesterday. Since the plan is for Keith to stay home anyway I will be free to go to Portland and leave him here to care for Bogie. I just need to know Bogie is okay before I leave him. I love this cat soooooo much.

Candyland, and Chutes and Ladders were games I loved. They were still fun when I played them with my children. When I was older Clue became my favorite game. When I was 12 I had a Barbie game I enjoyed very much even thought I have always hated the doll. We played monopoly and Sorry (George thanks for reminding me of the name) lot.

Kinky Butler? Wasn't she in Bat Boy and the Little Shop revival?

Cereals? Oatmeal is about it. If I have leftover brown rice, I'll heat it up for a morning breakfast.

I got most of the toys I really wanted

It struck me, reading Benjamin Kritzer, that hardly anything was denied the young BK. He wants something; he gets it.

And what struck me about this is that I grew up just a couple miles northwest of Kritzerland, and (my parents would confirm this recollection), plenty was denied me. Toys and stuff I wanted, I often didn't get. Never a Hot Wheels miniature car. Never a Big Wheel, for that matter.

Now, I'm not saying, "you were a spoiled child" as if that makes you some sort of a monster, and I know Ask BK day is not likely to lead to some deep psychological revelation, but what I'm wondering is:

Do you think getting-whatever-you-wanted-as-a-child led had any negative effect on you?

If the answer is no, perhaps we'll all feel free to spoil our children.

Thanks Dan-in-Toronto. We won’t be able to pick Bogie up until around 5:00. I think he is in surgery right now.

Oatmeal has always been a favorite along with Cream of Wheat. Since I have never had a gross experience with Raisin Bran I eat it on a regular basis. I usually mix in GoLean. Sometimes I have Mini Shredded Wheat sweetened with Honey Nut Cheerios. I always use non-fat milk. If there isn’t any than I eat the cereal plain or have leftover Basmati.

Gosh Noel I didn't see it that way. Yes Benjamin Kritzer pestered his parents for some things that were important to him, but considering what he went through to get them I figured there was much he didn't get. There might have been the lesson learned, persistence.

I’m sorry you had so few toys. My father never received a birthday present from anyone in his family. I think that was very hard on him.

Benjamin got more than I did. I didn't get EVERYTHING I wanted - there were plenty of books and albums and whatnot wherein my parents just said "enough". But, whatever their faults and peculiarities, they did give us plenty of "stuff" - both my brother and myself.

My Ask BK Question:

Since most people don't like to see or hear thier own work, is there a cd that you produced that you return to with any regularity? Any that you don't think you would touch again?

My favorite breakfast cereals as a kid were FREAKIES, FRUITY PEPPLES, SUGAR SMACKS.

Now I eat Low Carb Total (but constantly crave Lucky Charms)

Loved board games as a kid...I played LIFE, MONOPOLY, AGGREVATION, CHINESE CHECKERS, and CHUTES AND LADDERS a lot with our cousins Molly and Bobby. I didn't play them very often with my younger brother Dan because he was such a bad sport, and my other siblings were teenagers and were not around enough to play games with their little brother.

I am sure there were many toys that I wanted and did not get, but can't recall them. I did get a LOT of toys as a kid, however, so I was not hurting at all.

Cereal? Then and now: Lucky Charms...when the only marshmallows that they had were only Pink hearts, yellow moons, blue stars and green clovers...and that's it! Now, I also really like Honey Nut Cherrio's.

Oops! (that's Spoo spelled backwards.) Nobody noticed my mistake, but that should've been pink hearts, yellow moons, ORANGE stars and green clovers. My bad.

Was awash with tears watching YANKEE DOODLE DANDY. I'd forgotten the sentimentality of it which touched me and then Cagney's just sensational performance and the fetching music. Really quite a show; I can see why it's been so popular for so long. I probably hadn't seen it in ten years and had forgotten large chunks of it. The DVD looks lovely, but not quite so astonishing as CASABLANCA.

Matt H. · « **Reply #84 on:** August 18, 2004, 01:13:22 PM »

I will definitely get another DVD watched tonight, but what it will be shall remain a mystery until I log back on tonight. (Actually, I'll have to go through the stack and pick something. I haven't done that yet.)

DR JMK, I'm assuming Frances Langford ended up singing that specialty number in THE BIG BROADCAST OF 1938.

Matt H. · « **Reply #85 on:** August 18, 2004, 01:15:55 PM »

Favorite game as a kid: CAREERS (which we've talked about before here). Also loved CLUE.

I didn't play my first game of Candyland until I was 15, baby-sitting with a friend of mine when his parents left him to tend his 6 year old brother. I wanted to play and play! Several years ago, some friends of mine gave me a Candyland game for Christmas because they had heard me talk about playing this kid's game as a teenager and how much I loved it. I have since played it a lot with their children.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #86 on:** August 18, 2004, 01:15:57 PM »

Did anyone ever have a toy or game taken away from them as a child? One Christmas I got a game called Bop The Beetle. It came with a large, hinged "frog's head" that was more like a clam that opened wide and locked. The two players each had these short plastic bats which were then used to "bop" at their matching plastic beetles. The object of the game was to bop your beetle so that it flipped in the air and landed in the frog's open mouth. So basically, you had two kids who were pounding on the floor with hard bats until one of them managed to get their target to fly in the air and land in an echo-ing shell that would then slam shut. My mom hated it and it was gone before New Years.

About two years ago, I came across Bop The Beetle on ebay and bought it. I brought it to my Mom's house for a family gathering and I was filled with glee, watching my nephew and great niece play and play and play as my Mom shot me looks meant to kill. Hee hee hee...

Vibes for Bogie, Jane, and Keith! ~~~~~~~~~~~

I played Monopoly once and was thoroughly bored out of my mind.

My favorite board game now is called Cranium and I can only play it when our church has get-togethers. A nice lady brings it and we get church people together to play it. My family still doesn't have much luck playing games together.

Hey, everybody go to Google.com and check out the cool picture at the top of the page.

Jane · « **Reply #88 on:** August 18, 2004, 01:35:59 PM »

Thank you Mbarnum, Sandra and DearReaderLaura Sweet DRL, but poor Bogie has had to cope with too many medical problems over the years. I think he is suffering more. My big concern is the surgery will trigger an infection and a chronic problem we have under control. His Mommy going away won’t help. $:-\$

Where is a picture of the turtles?

Dan (the Man) I love the story. That reminds me of another favorite CUTIES. I didn’t have games taken away from me for a particular reason but periodically my mother would clean out my room and give them away. One time I made her, not an easy feat with my mother, call the person she gave my toys to and have several returned. It was also out of character for me to put up such a fuss.

Sandra I went to google-cute.
