Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of the loo on the roof, and now it is time for you to post until the cows on the roof come home.

And the word of the day is: GRANDILOQUENCE!

Topic of the Day: Most of them.

The one that I remember (but don't remember the name) was the first gay dating show. They had a bunch of guys in a house getting to know each other and the gay bachelor had his best friend (a girl) there to give him advice during the run. However the kicker was that some of the guys that he was going for weren't actually gay! And they had to pretend that they were gay. At the end, if he picked a guy who was gay, I think they both got to split the grand prize money (whatever it was). But if he picked a straight guy, the straight guy got all the money.

, I say.

That is all.

Good morning, all! It's another Columbia day, although I would rather stay home than be out in the heat and potential storms. This afternoon, my beloved Charlotte is coming by and I look forward to seeing her.

TOD: Was the old Ed McMahon "Star Search" a reality show?

elmore3003 · « **Reply #9 on:** July 30, 2015, 04:01:28 AM »

I have no more news.

I really liked "Big Brother" for a couple of years, and it actually had some point for a while - but then it started getting overly gimmicky and strange.

Good Morning. It's a hot, muggy morning which will turn into a hotter, muggier day.

The TOD is reality shows - least favorite and most favorite

TOD:

I watched the first season of "Survivor," and that was enough for me. Finished. And I haven't watched another minute of any reality television, including any of the competition shows.

Gilgamesh.

Don't know why; that name just popped into my head.

Many people don't know that in Sondheim's first draft of that song for Follies, the lyrics were:

Listen to the loo on the roof
Go plink plink-a-plank
Plink-a...

There were several such references in the draft you mention, like:

I have seen raccoons in Soho
And I like them more than so-so
But when there's a loon
Goodbye, Raccoon

He changed it and the rest, of course, is history.

There's also this in On a Clear Day's Come Back to Me, it's still sometimes sung this way if there's an overdone accent:

Have you gone to the moon
To the corner saloon
Or to Raccoon to ruin

Good morning, all.

Overcast here. Drinking coffee in the recliner. Pondering the day.

Cheese and guava babke swirls, anyone?

A raccoon loo on the roof. Sounds crazy, no? But here in our little City of Studio...

TOD:
I hate all reality shows, except for one or two that are well-scripted. :-) It seems the creators' favorite thing is to make people cry. And I have no desire to watch people cry. I tried to watch one that was about dogs and dog training and within the first 20 minutes, some girl was crying because the judges chastised her for putting a dress on her dog...so dumb.

I watched half an hour of the show once because I wanted to see my cousin's name in the credits, and have some idea of what the show was about. I was very surprised the next day to see responses to the show all over the news.
