Who do you have to blank to get to page three?

bk · « **Reply #61 on:** January 24, 2005, 10:36:10 AM »

I guess we have the answer.

Hey all... hope you are having a Monday sort of Monday, it certainly is that way here in the SF Bay Area. Anyhow, I have a questions for all you DR collectors out there... does anyone have a recording of The Manhattan Pops orchestra playing "The Rain In Spain" from My Fair Lady

I am sick today....ugh.... And if I come across any photos from the Fundraiser I will post them someday!

RTPP - remember in the original version, Mary Astor's house was burned down by her "foreign" daughter in law - but that whole subplot was edited out. And yes the scene of the one-night editing session is hilarious as is Chandler's badgering of Lynley (who IS perky, but doesn't act very well). Tuesday is saddled with a hopeless beau - and if only David Nelson had returned as Ted Carter, I might have been more interested. I love Mary Astor: "It's nice to see that some of our young people are putting Peyton Place on the map - in the right way." And I love the way she meets Ted's wife and then SLAMS her purse down on the bed when goes into her room. And you just KNOW she sits in that linen closet and listens to them make love at night (as she does in the book).

Any extras on the disk?

I am using one of the schizzo computers in the M.U. where all the fast food places are just so I won't have to throw away my Cherry Coke to go to the library.

I just got out of my History of Something-Or-Other class. I tried to find out what was so INTERESTING about my teacher that would make all these groupies follow her around. I failed to do so.

She's about late-fifties, no sense of humor, and she has these owly glasses that cover most of her face. Just your typical History teacher.

Her groupies, however, are quite an INTERESTING group. Here they are:

I don't know if the first two are an item or not, but they're always together. She is very talkative, and he is the dorkiest-looking former prison guard you will ever meet.

A Spaniard who thinks he's the next Fabio.

A guy who hasn't said anything yet, but who looks like a drill sergeant.

A lady I'm pretty sure is a lesbian.

And then there's this guy named Ken. He keeps signing up for this teacher's classes, although he has never shown up to any of them. I don't even think any of the other groupies have met him.

The Faculties. Is that a sequel you and David are working on?

bk · « **Reply #69 on:** January 24, 2005, 11:12:42 AM »

But of course.

Today seems like a nice day (haven't been outside yet) - a bit hazy-looking, but blue skies nonetheless.

They all know about him because he always signs up. He just has never come to any of the classes. I only know about him because the others were all talking about him. But since they've never met him and don't know much about him, all they had to say about him was, "Well, Ken signed up, but he didn't come to class." 'Yep, he signed up, all right." "And he didn't come to class." "Yep." And so on.

By the way, I'm done with my Cherry Coke, so I'm in the library now using one of the eight computers this school has that actually work. They keep them hidden down here in the second basement along with the dusty old books that haven't been checked out for years.

I overslept - I woke up at eight-thirty, but just put my head back on the pillow, and the next thing I knew it was ten.

Every Monday is a slow day for me.

I overslept, too. Woke up at 5:30 a.m., but put my head back on the pillow, and the next I knew it was 7:30. I arrived at work 1 hour later (on time), and I even had time to stop at the bank for a deposit/withdrawal.

I asked myself that all through History class. I'm still not sure of the answer. (It was a little bit boring.)

Just got in - this is one of the slushiest, messiest days in memory. My dentist of more than 25 years turned 80 and has sold his practice to a young dentist (for whom he now works). Old office: ancient magazines (same vintage as the equipment) and great dentistry. New office: current Architectural Digest and Vanity Fair, TV clicker, tinted goggles, website, do-you-like-your-smile questionnaire - and a bill that wore off the Novocaine.

I always consider the word "lady" as an editorial comment denoting a particular manner of behaving and living, usually applicable to great gentility, softness and politeness.

I like to give every woman the benefit of the doubt, but outside of possibly addressing an assemblage as "Ladies and Gentlemen" (HUGE benefit of the doubt), I am loath to assign the word.

That said, can a lesbian BE a lady? I think possibly she can, but I've yet to meet one!

(Not always a gentle man, I)

P.S. Until informed otherwise, I automatically assume all female posters (and possibly others) here to be ladies.

bk · « **Reply #85 on:** January 24, 2005, 11:55:50 AM »

I feel all male posters here are ladies as well.

Good Morning! Well.. Good Afternoon!

I guess we all collectively slept in today. When I got up today, I thought it was around 10:00, but I looked at the clock is said 12:30!?!?!? Wow! Guess I was tired last night. So...

I was a very good boy this morning, and headed straight down to the basement, hooked up the DVD player to the large-screen TV and proceeded to get a nice work out. A good sweat. Feels good. Then it was up to the kitchen for some Irish oatmeal topped with cherries (frozen). Very dietetic as BK would say. -I think I'll finally make that Trader Joe's run this afternoon for more blueberries.

Then I tried to access my banking information online...

AAAGGHHH!!!!!

My bank switched over it's phone and internet banking system over this past weekend. Let's just say that their Customer Service line has been a constant busy signal so far... Thankfully, I was able to reach a real live person at my local branch in Richmond, and she tipped me off to how I needed to log on to my account this morning. But once I was able to log on, there was a small text box stating that "All current account cannot be able to be displayed at the current time. Please try again later. Sorry for the inconvenience." So...

I got over that bit of frustration... Sort of... I had an inkling the swithover would not be seamless - Is it ever? So...

Onto more pleasant topics...
