I knew the only music I'd know is if they did a movie tune like "Colors of the Wind." No one did.

Sad. too - they had quite a few Billboard Top 40s from Disney films to select from:

Aladdin    A Whole New World (1)
Lion King    Can you Feel the Love Tonight (4)
Circle of Life (18)
Pocahontas Colors of the Wind (4)
Hercules    Go The Distance (24)
Tarzan    You'll Be Here In My Heart (21)

I have been gradually catching up on yesterday evening;s posts and found this sentence penned by our own DR CP:

" Somehow I can't summon up any tear of mourning for a man who, rather than seek truth and justice, chose to contemptuously manipulate the judicial system in order to cynically inflict once more onto society a heinous piece of dubious, vile, human excrement"

Now that I tell you is a sentence! I love this sentence! I have to memorize and casually drop this sentence into conversations over the next few days (I wonder what the royalties payments would be..... )

I guess this shows why DR CP is a writer and I am but a reader!

Question for BK or a dear reader or two (or three).... the DP and I watched "Mary Poppins" last night, and in the penquin scene, I could have sworn it was Angela Lansbury's voice that says "You're our faaavorite person" (spoken by a penquin) I've check all the resources, and can't find anything that says she was invloved with this movie. Check it out and see what you think, I think it's on the CD also. I'd put money on this.

MBarnum · « **Reply #96 on:** March 30, 2005, 10:38:56 AM »

Just looking at upcoming CD releases over at Oldies.com and I see a Ginny Simms/w Kay Kyser band CD that will be out soon. I adore Ginny Simms from her musical film work and will likely pop for this CD.

So, my BK question of the day (for BK and all DRs) is: who are some of your favorite 1930 and 40s Big Band vocalists.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #97 on:** March 30, 2005, 10:40:53 AM »

So DRJOEY you will see MAMMA MIA! and have your braces off the very next day!

Lovely weather here in Mooresville as well. Sixty seven degrees!

No hickeys here - they are unseemly. But several gin rickeys!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #98 on:** March 30, 2005, 10:41:55 AM »

Thanks for the music answer, MR BK.

Yes, the AMAZING RACE was extra good last night. I like the music that is used on this show, too. The main theme is very exciting and well orchestrated.

Dear BK and fellow Dear Readers,

What is the punchline to your favorite joke? I don't want the joke- just the punchline.

I don't have a favorite joke, but my favorite punchline is "That's OK. My mother has a mustache." I use it for every joke I tell.

For example: A duck walks into a bar and asks the bartender, "Do you have any berries?" The bartender says, "No" so the duck leaves. The next day, the duck walks into the same bar and asks the bartender, "Do you have any berries?" Again, the bartender says, "No," so the duck leaves. The next day, the duck walks into the same bar and the bartender says, "If you ask me one more time if I have any berries, I'm going to nail your beak shut." The duck asks, "Do you have any nails?" The bartender says, "No," so the duck says, "That's OK. My mother has a mustache."

Isn't it so much better that way?

LOL!! I don't know if this will fit, but here's a punch line:
What do you think I am...a radio??

Here's another:
(spoken with a Southern accent) Well, sugar, I don't know what they call 'em, but I call 'em precious!

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #101 on:** March 30, 2005, 11:25:27 AM »

My favourite joke punchline, "Make it Peach."

Rodzinski · « **Reply #102 on:** March 30, 2005, 11:29:34 AM »

Fave punchline: "Because that's what everybody calls me!"

Favorite Hickey: The late William Hickey.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #103 on:** March 30, 2005, 11:33:52 AM »

Big Band vocalists: I do enjoy Ginny Simms. What a voice. But if you look at her for awhile, she really has on oddly shaped head.

I like Harry Babbit too. The odd harmonies of the Lombardo trio. Bea Wain is tops. Vaughn Monroe. Margaret Whiting. Jo Stafford...

DR George, I am thinking we have stumbled upon a transcontinental/ regional variation on the same punchline. For, in NY, I believe that punch line is known as: "No soap. Radio!"

Unless we're thinking of two separate things.

bk · « **Reply #106 on:** March 30, 2005, 11:47:11 AM »

Vera Lynn.

"I can't hear you, I've got a banana in my ear."

"And when I woke up, my pillow was gone."

"So I bit him"

I don't believe anyone ever gave me a hickey, but I'm always open to new experiences. I believe I gave a hickey to my first girlfriend. I may also have given another hickey soon thereafter, but I leave that revelation to others. Of course, I might not have, in which case no revelation will be forthcoming or even fifthcoming.

"Those are ants, you idiot, we haven't taken off yet."

I never had a hickey...just some mysterious curling iron accidents!

DRMBarnum,, sometimes you frighten me.

Well, I'm checking in very late today; I'm having a week of crossed connections, frustration, and spring fever (I hope that's what it is). There have been some wonderful moments as well, but over all, a frustrating two days.

I've asked for Fridays away from B&N because of a lot of tiny jobs coming in, but I don't if it starts this Friday or not, so I've turned down a doctor appointment about the surgery until next Tuesday; everyone on the BABES IN TOYLAND project has jumped ship fot two weeks to work on a showcase for a new musical, so I'm tredding water until they're back; and I promised Jonathan Tunick a vocal score tomorrow but now it looks as if I won't get it to him until later since the friends I lent it to haven't photocopied it yet! GRRRR.

Well, coincidentally Oldies.com just released a Harry Babbit/Kay Kyser CD as well...I can't remember if I have heard him or not, but I may get his CD at the same time as Ginny's...and yes Ginny does have an unusual look....I lover her in Abbott and Costello's HIT THE ICE!

I do like Vaughn Monroe, and I will add Ray Noble to that list...and maybe Helen Forrest.

And the voice says: "No. This is the
manager of the skating rink. There are no fish under the ice."

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #112 on:** March 30, 2005, 12:05:25 PM »

BK, "So I bit him" has always been one of my fav punchlines too, along with "No, thanks, just had one." and "Okay, you're a cab."

I love what I call "Have an accident?" jokes.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #113 on:** March 30, 2005, 12:06:38 PM »

Another fav punchline: "How he got in my pyjamas I'll never know?"

And there's this infamous one: "I'm thinking! I'm Thinking!"

elmore3003 · « **Reply #114 on:** March 30, 2005, 12:11:12 PM »

Punchlines?

"Practice."

"He only comes once a year."

bk · « **Reply #115 on:** March 30, 2005, 12:20:08 PM »

Someone on a message board was complaining that Christopher Isherwood had used the word "obstreperous" in a review, and that that was just too highfalutin' a word. I said that if they bothered to come to the ginchiest website on all the Internet but a mere week or two ago, they would have known exactly what that word meant, along with many other words. Of course, I did not name the website.

MBarnum · « **Reply #116 on:** March 30, 2005, 12:28:06 PM »

Just read the Warner Bros. chat transcript and there is some cool stuff coming to DVD soon1

JRand54...some Allied Artist's titles (they didn't say which ones, however) and STORM WARNING!! Woohoo!

Also, all 48 Bowery Boy's movies (there are a few I would like to see!)...and MIGHTY JOE YOUNG (before X-mas) and SON OF KONG....new Fay Wray interview will be with the KING KONG release!

Lots of other things too, but those were what excited me the most!

-Yep, it's definitely Spring Break time. All the soaps are featuring story lines with their "younger" actors this week.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #118 on:** March 30, 2005, 12:35:31 PM »

Lauren Mufson wouldn't know me from Adam, Jose, but tell her she has fans "out there" from her Brandy's days.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #119 on:** March 30, 2005, 12:37:00 PM »

Man, I used to dream of a world where I could have access to all the Bowery Boys movies.
Now all I need are the Gas House Gang flicks!
