Hope the sun has got his hat on tomorrow in OZ DR Derek. It's too darn hot.

The sun has got his hat on
Ho, ho, ho hurray!

The sun has got his hat on
and he's coming out to play



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's too darn hot,
It's too darn hot.
I'd like to sup with my baby tonight,
Fulfill the cup with my baby tonight.
I'd like to sup with my baby tonight,
Fulfill the cup with my baby tonight,
But I ain't up to my baby tonight,
'Cause it's too darn hot.
It's too darn hot,
It's too darn hot.
I'd like to coo with my baby tonight,
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight.
I'd like to coo with my baby tonight,
And pitch the woo with my baby tonight.
But sister you'll fight my baby tonight
'Cause it's too darn hot.
It's too darn hot,

According to the latest Report
Ev'ry average girl you know
Much prefers her lovely doggie to court
When the temperature is low,
But when the thermometer goes 'way up
And the weather is sizzling hot,
Mister Adam
For his madam.
Is not,
'Cause it's too, too
Too darn hot,
It's too darn hot,
It's too darn hot.
BOYS:
It's too darn hot,
It's too darn hot.
It's too darn hot.
Hot, hot, hot, hot...

Great, now I have TWO songs stuck in my head with Brendan Fraser dressed as Lil Abner... how's a girl to get any work done?

I only realized after reading today's posts that you were looking for  "bad casting" but got Brendan Fraser stuck in my mind for Lil Abner after reading the notes and now I can't think of anyone else

DR vixmom, I'm going the same route with Fraser.  He fits in well with my Li'l Abner for the MTV generation:

Li'l Abner -- Brendan Fraser
Daisy Mae -- Jessica Simpson
Marryin' Sam -- Jason Alexander
Mammy Yokum -- Cloris Leachman
Pappy Yokum -- Verne Troyer
Stupefyin' Jones -- Nicolette Sheridan
Moonbeam McSwine – Anna Nicole Smith
Earthquake McGoon – Joe Black
Appassionata Von Climax – J-Lo

DR Dan (the Man): My Panasonic DVR had no trouble playing DR MBarnum's DVD+R disc he sent me. DVD-R and DVD+R are the two most commonly used recording formats, and most of these recorders play back those formats even if they only record one or the other. I've never tried a DVD-RW or DVD+RW in it, but I suspect it wouldn't play those back. As you saw, it plays/records DVD-RAM which is much more recordable (can be erased tens of thousands of times whereas the DVD-RW can only be erased about 1,000 times).

You're never going to find one of these affordable level machines that can play back everything, but -R and +R are the formats your friends will probably use anyway.

When the rain finally subsides, they are going to need to have someone come out and repair the small place on the roof that’s leaking, and check under that part of the house. That’s the best part about leasing – I don’t have to worry about any of it.

Here's a Studio City neighbor who has a bit of a worry:

A university in New Zealand is installing a number of in-the-floor squat toilets in order to be more sensitive to the needs of its international students, reports the New Zealand Herald.

The university claims it has had trouble with confused international students standing on the regular toilet seats and creating "hygiene problems." One student even reported finding stiletto marks on one seat.

Please, Lord, no film at 11!

Well I made the jaunt back up to school yesterday to see tree limbs strewn everywhere and trees down, luckily there was no damage done to the buildings at the church/home environment, but as part of my living there is taking care of the grounds, me and one of my roomates have a big, big job ahead of us! We have power and heat, but our cable wire is lying beneath several limbs which means no television and no internet! :o I am at the library right now, but maybe I can get some pictures up  later today or tomorrow. Ball State has wireless internet for students in all the academic buildings so I may lug my beast of a laptop with me to class later today or tomorrow and share some pictures between classes. Another bit of news is the fraternity next to us has been closed down and our church is looking at buying the property. They are considering making it similar to a dormitory for Catholic students (well they would let anyone stay there most likely) but it's a really exciting prospect.

Many many thanks to DRelmore for his package. (I believe this at least the 6th thank you now.) My roomates were all quite curious as to what was in the box when they got back Saturday and came running down to see what the matter was when they heard my squeals of delight upon opening the package. :) They are keeping me very entertained!

I've got a good bit of TV recorded to the DVR that needs to be watched and cleared off, so I most likely won't get to any DVDs today.

I think the next one will be BUTLEY from the AFT series. I haven't seen it since seeing it at the movies all those years ago (and I mean decades ago).

Thanks, DR Matt.  I really need to do some more research on these recorder/players and consider all the options before I go shopping again.

At some point today, I will have a new avatar taken with my new digital camera I gave myself for Christmas.

I have to say 4.1 megapixels makes a BIG difference over 2.1 that I had before.

I reccomended a "Bring Your Chainsaw to Church" day next Saturday though I don't think they are going to go for it. (Interesting thought on the visiting dogs rule, though I suppose they wouldn't allow them actually inside in case someone was highly allergic. I'd fight for the right to visit though!) It's just talk right now but if it happens it will happen quickly.

First of all, great casting ideas for our production.  I think the one that would have the best chance of getting us to Broadway is elmore's.  Check it out.

I think it rained lightly the entire night.  However at six-thirty this morning we were again pummeled by the rain.  From what I can tell, the moisture on the carpet in the bedroom has not gotten worse, nor has the leak, so that's good.  It's calmed down again and if it can just stay calm like during the late-night hours then I think whatever is happening under the house will drain itself before anything worse happens.

I think it's safe to say that we have not seen the likes of this rainfall since I was a young sprig of a twig of a lad of a youth.

I'd like to sup with my baby tonight,
Fulfill the cup with my baby tonight.
But I ain't up to my baby tonight,
'Cause it's too darn hot.


vs the original:

I'd like to sup with my baby tonight
And play the pup with my baby tonight
But I ain't up to my baby tonight
'Cause it's too darn hot
