OK, here's my input. We've almost beat yesterday's numbers. I don't think we can hit last Friday's numbers but we must try to get say 175? Bruce is sick, people. Let's post for BK (not Burger King but Bruce Kimmel). We need the pom poms again. I don't look so good in a cheerleader outfit anymore. Maybe 30 years ago in high school, but not now.

Well, that was nice. At least on my screen that post popped us over to 6 pages.

I have just been absent as I have had my FIRST listen to "Philemon" by Jones & Schmidt. What a charming piece. It may not have met with success but a worthy score - IMHO much better than "Celebration" which I have never really warmed to. ("110 In The Shade" is still far and away their best).

Tom, I won the album of Philemon on eBay last week but I haven't received it yet. Hopefully soon! I also won the London cast (vinyl) album of Where's Charlie from the same seller (to save on shipping), except that I didn't realize that I already have this recording...and on CD! I hate it when I buy something that I already own, especially when I can't back out of the sale (like on eBay). D'oh!

I also have Celebration. I don't love the score, but there are individual songs that I really like. And I agree with you that 110 In the Shade is better than Celebration.

It must be late. George is here. I hope we hear from DR Jose this weekend. I guess he is very busy despite it not being the merry month of May. I hope it will not be long before we gaze at his late night essays again. Enough of my Camelot references, I shall return to doing what simple folk do.

TCB · « **Reply #154 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:10:29 PM »

So Mr. Oz, you warmed to 110 in the Shade?

I think I will watch the movie Tootsie tonight. I always enjoy that.

TCB · « **Reply #155 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:13:40 PM »

Oh, I don't know Ben, I would be willing to pay to see you in a cheerleader skirt.

Ben · « **Reply #156 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:14:42 PM »

I was just thinking of DR Jose, also. It has been quite a while since his late night musings. Camelot must be taking much of his time. I hope he has time to bake, at least. I saw an ad for Camelot at the on-line site of the Washington Post site.

Never have heard Philemon. I should look at Footlight to see if they have it. I know of the show but don't know anything from it. I do love some of the individual songs from Celebration also. Like, I"m Glad to See You Got What You Want. And I do agree w/both Tom and George that 110 in the Shade is better than Celebration. I think I like that show most of all. I like the revue of Jones and Schmidt work mentioned before on this here board, The Show Goes On. I have the DRG recording.

I'm here alone this weekend as Ant is on the Island entertaining children. He will be back on Tuesday. I will spend the weekend working on my presentation for Cleveland (have I mentioned that enough???) something I'm not looking forward to. Oh, well, it's part of the job and it will be over on November 20th and from then till November 26 I have only 3 and a half days left at work and I'm done for the year. A month off and two weeks of that month spent in England. That's what I'm aiming for, Christmas in London!

Ben · « **Reply #157 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:16:26 PM »

Well, TCB, my legs are still one of my best assets so maybe I'll dig up a cheerleader skirt and take a picture. Or I could just put on those tight lycra pants the cheerleader boys wear.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #158 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:17:09 PM »

I identified with 110 in the Shade. Sounds like an Oz summer. I won't ask if you identify with "Tootsie" but is was a much better movie than "Mrs Doubtfire". Where are the other two Washington State posters? We need a full house.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #159 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:20:42 PM »

Legs being "one of my best assets" does sound a little odd - Reminder of Dudley Moore's "One Leg Too Few" Tarzan act.

Ben · « **Reply #160 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:24:32 PM »

I just checked and Mr. Jose has posted only twice since the new board went up. How unseemly. Meanwhile, our Dear French Cousin, François is approaching his full membership. Only 15 or so more posts to go and he will get another star and full membership. And he only posts on the weekends!

You're right, Tom. It does sound odd. My leg is one of my best features or my legs are two of my best features.

TCB · « **Reply #161 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:24:57 PM »

Okay, Ben, you talked me into it. I would like to change my vote to the tight lycra pants..

DR TCB, my reaction to last night's W&G: I was very angered by the Eric/Dylan storyline. Here they've got two wonderfully handsome eligible gay male characters, and they choose to make Dylan SO dysfunctional that we WANT Will to stay single! I wanted to kick those writers from here to eternity (a James Jones reference).

But kudos to the brilliant Blythe Danner who makes every line a gem. She has the most wonderful way of delivering an acerbic zinger with the sweetest smile on her face. Priceless!

Poor John Cleese did the best he could with weak material. And he countered Megan's scene stealing antics with a very underplayed performance that balanced her over-the-top actions and reactions quite well.

All in all, a disappointing episode for me. I had SUCH hopes for a developing romance.

Now this is the time to post photgraphs!

TCB · « **Reply #165 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:28:53 PM »

Actually, Mr. Oz, there are three (3) additional Washingtonians missing this evening..... Jed, George, and the lovely Ann.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #166 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:31:29 PM »

$150 No problem François. Now for the airfare. Maybe we should book a table. I have the feeling we we all wait for the TV show.

LC · « **Reply #167 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:31:42 PM »

I would pay to see pictures of all of you showing off your legs!

Matt H, I agree with your take on last night's W&G. You summed up my thoughts exactly.

Emily, why $13.14 an hour, exactly?

My Jr. Membership is not showing up, but I would guess it has something to do with being on a mirror site..?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #168 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:32:29 PM »

Sorry TCB. George was here but has jumped ship. (I hope it wasn't a ferry/fairy)

LC · « **Reply #169 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:32:59 PM »

Oh nevermind, there it is. Maybe I had to hit 51.

Puuuush!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #170 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:33:25 PM »

Thanks LC. Now we may all be able to see Dame Julie.

Matt H. · « **Reply #171 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:33:38 PM »

Just wanted to say that I will be E&T for most of tomorrow. I'm leaving town to go see a friend play his first leading role ever - in ARSENIC AND OLD LACE - and unless I can read bk's notes and get a quick post in before my ride gets here tomorrow morning, I may not be able to post at all on Saturday. But I'll return Sunday to join in the anniversary celebration.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #172 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:34:55 PM »

The mirror site reads your number as 25 LC!

What did you "say" Ben?

That i was a French cuisine?

François · « **Reply #175 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:43:27 PM »

AAAhhhh, Tom!

This is a BENEFIT showing for OPERATION CALIFORNIA,

not to raise money to send more military to.... well, you get my drift!

Of course, we can't afford attending, but those benefits are not for "poor" people like us!

TCB · « **Reply #176 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:44:54 PM »

Thank you, Matt H.. My reactions to W&G exactly. As soon as I figured out where the writers were going with Dylan's character, I was ready to throw things at the screen. W&G had a chance to take their program to a new level by showing an honest attraction between two attractive men. Instead they made the whole Dylan McDermott appearance a lame joke.

I also agree with you about Blythe Danner. If Debra Messing should opt out of another season, the producers might want to consider moving Miss Danner in on a permanent basis.

Only if he's cute!

I haven't jumped ship...yet. I'm still at work and refreshing my browser when I get the chance.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #178 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:58:07 PM »

I had the pleasure of seeing Blythe Danner in "Follies" - she alone was worth the price of the ticket.
DR Jose did say that he would only be home on Mondays. Camelot is keeping him very busy it seems. I hope a few other things are keeping him busy too.

Emily · « **Reply #179 on:** November 07, 2003, 07:59:33 PM »

LC: Don't ask me about the very precise pay. I KNOW that Parliament itself had to decide on the pay for the youth programs (of which the tour guide program is one) so maybe it came from some backward committee or such.

I know from experience that politicians often get wayyyy too off track on the sticking details!
