I was going to put William Shatner in as Hugo, but then I remembered that he thinks he can sing, and he'd insist on having a song! I'm not that sadistic.

I'm not gonna dance! Instead, I'm gonna plop myself down here and sing "We Love Your Conrad" with the rest of the Sweet Apple Conrad Birdie Fan Club (played by the Kit Kat Klub girls) until I'm hoarse!

And maybe even longer!!!

DR George - So sorry to hear about your friends. And it's great that the theatre company will be doing some shows this weekend in her/their honor. And if she was doing Closer Than Ever in her 60's... That in itself is a great tribute to her energy and life.

Yes, both Nona and her husband Dan were very energetic. Both had a quick wit. Nona also had a wicked sense of humor and that mischievous glint in her eye.

My housemate was affected by Nona's death, as well. She was a counselor and Leanne, my housemate's ladyfriend, had been one of her clients for eight years.

I shall now take a little break from writing. I've been going back and making lots of additions to the two sections I've been working on this week. I knew they weren't quite right yet, and this morning I put my finger on at least one of the problems and the additions, I must say, are making these sections come to life and they're now working much better. Hoo and ray.

Must be lunchtime or something.

LOL OzDerek.

MR BK do you want me to scan the sheet music for ZING A LITTLE ZONG and send you the jpegs?

Although I think I already know the answer.

And DR SWW - wouldn't your credits actually read:

And TOMMY TUNE as Ed Sullivan

Sorry to hear about your loss, DR George.

I just found an old Captain and Tennille record, I think I recieved it as a gift when I was 8 years old, it's pretty scratched. It's sad it hasn't been released on CD.

I am enjoying the choices for unlikely casts for Bye Bye Birdie. MCC Theater holds an annual spring gala benefit called "MISCAST" where Broadway stars sing roles in which they would never be cast. Last year, Karen Ziemba sang "All I Need Is The Girl" from Gypsy, Raul Esparza sang "The Worst Pies in London" from Sweeney Todd,Norbert Leo Butz sang "Little Girls" from Annie, and Emily Skinner sang "Big Black Man" from The Full Monty. In other years, Patti LuPone sang "Trouble" from The Music Man, and in an ironic note, Kristen Chenowith and Harvey Fierstein sang the duet "Do You Love Me?" from Fiddler.
This year's benefit is on Monday,March 14th.

Sorry to hear about your friends, DR George.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #103 on:** February 10, 2005, 12:31:24 PM »

Thanks DR CP....what a crazy song.

BTW - did you watch Eddie G Robinson in THE STRANGER dvd that you got last week? Been waiting for your thoughts on it.

Iris* · « **Reply #104 on:** February 10, 2005, 12:33:29 PM »

Off topic, did anyone else happen to read Maureen Dowd's article today in the New York Times? It contains the following information:
The Virginia House of Delegates have passed a bill authorizing
a $50 fine for anyone who wears pants so low that their
underwear shows "in a lewd or indecent manner."

Iris* · « **Reply #105 on:** February 10, 2005, 12:34:25 PM »

BK, was the sparkling prize a case of Diet Coke?

Iris* · « **Reply #106 on:** February 10, 2005, 12:35:48 PM »

And exactly how many posts do I need before I can ascend from this fershluganah "newbie"level??

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #107 on:** February 10, 2005, 12:44:36 PM »

Six more, Iris...only six more. But you won't see the ascension until you post your 51st.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #108 on:** February 10, 2005, 12:45:33 PM »

Only 7 more DR IRIS.

Do you suppose there will be a penalty if NO UNDERWEAR is worn?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #109 on:** February 10, 2005, 12:45:58 PM »

Alas, alack, I did not get my dim sum wish.

Instead, a group of us went to the Oakland Art Museum's cafe and had meat loaf, rosemary roasted potatoes (w/roasted garlic added today), and salad.

It's one of my favorite meals, so I am not bitte.

Jennifer · « **Reply #110 on:** February 10, 2005, 12:46:21 PM »

Btw, DR Ron, your answer was correct.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #111 on:** February 10, 2005, 12:50:33 PM »

Yes, Jrand, send it along.

No packages for me, although they hadn't logged in everything, so I'll check again later. The sun has been making sporadic appearances.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #113 on:** February 10, 2005, 12:53:08 PM »

I mean, there's just no place else for me to go where I can hear from someone who bought a victrola from Ron Pallillo.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #114 on:** February 10, 2005, 01:00:40 PM »

Ain't it the truth?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #115 on:** February 10, 2005, 01:01:05 PM »

I am scanning as we speak.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #116 on:** February 10, 2005, 01:04:58 PM »

While bored during the Super Bowl, my friend showed me a game he has for his GameCube. It is called Donkey Bongo. Instead of a joystick, it has a pair of bongos you hook up to the game system. Then it plays a song, and it can be any type of song, Tchaikovsky, doo-wop, B-52s, what have you. You have to play along and hit the bongos where noted and in the way it says. Right bongo, left bongo, both, do a roll... It even has a sound sensor because you are supposed to clap sometimes. Now this all sounds very easy, but it is actually quite difficult, and I have a good sense of rhythm.

Anyways, that's my recent bongo experience.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #117 on:** February 10, 2005, 01:08:39 PM »

Anyone ever seen the Laurence Harvey/Cliff Richard film, EXPRESSO BONGO? I've always wanted to...

George · « **Reply #118 on:** February 10, 2005, 01:15:01 PM »

Thanks Matthew and Iris.

Sandra · « **Reply #119 on:** February 10, 2005, 01:27:39 PM »

I'm so sorry to hear about your friends, George. That is so sad.

Right now, I am taking a break from typing my finished History paper. I spent longer fussing about having to write it than I actually spent writing it. I get to start all over again with the other paper. Can you tell I am very excited?
