Five!

[John G.]

Just starting Topper Returns with Joan Blondell and Eddie Anderson, aka Rochester.

Can't find my Mel, Woody, and You mug, but I found this one....Kritzerland's Tenth Anniversary.....broken handle....now it's a pencil holder.

[Jrand74]

Thanks for confirming my memory DR JOHN G.  Do you know where I put mine?

I dropped and chipped the DH's favorite mug this morning, rendering it unusable. Sigh. Not a catastrophe of any great significance, but sad nonetheless.

Sorry, and you must feel bad since you were the one to do it.

I think it makes a great pencil holder.

Back from ninety minutes in storage - couldn't find the art, even though it's there somewhere, just not reachable. But I did bring home some more of my acting scripts, so those will go up, including two Donny and Marie scripts. I also brought home a ton of OOP Varese CDs, so you'll want to check back in, perks-wise, as I'll start putting those up right away. Also, found a few of the really rare original two-CD version of our Promises, Promises release. It not only has the remix, of course, but also the newly remastered original album that has all the pitch problems, but sounding better than it ever has before. It sold out in two days, I think, and then we reissued it with JUST the remix. That's already up.

[Jrand74]

Great perks MR BK!

Highly recommended.

I bought a Donny & Marie script during your last Indiegogo campaign, and it is highly recommended by me for folks who are interested in how tv works and what goes into making a "show."

A rare and exciting opportunity.

[bk]

I put up quite a few things and need to take a brief break before putting up more - I'll start doing the film music stuff in thirty minutes, and there are more show albums, too.

[singdaw]

Things are a-hoppin'.

[singdaw]

Oh yes, they are.

[singdaw]

We've got cranberries and underpants.

[singdaw]

But not necessarily in that order.

Thanks for confirming my memory DR JOHN G.  Do you know where I put mine?

Yes. You put it that place. You know the one.

Billie Burke and Rochester are just perfect in Topper Returns.

At one point when the ghost scares Rochester, he talks about going back to work for Mr. Benny.

Of course, some of the humor isn’t politically correct by today’s standards. But it’s still a funny sequel.

[singdaw]

The weekend is over.

[singdaw]

Good night, friends.

Thanks for confirming my memory DR JOHN G.  Do you know where I put mine?

Yes. You put it that place. You know the one.

It’s on that shelf there in the back behind the whatchamacallit

Exactly. You know where she’s talking about.

DR Vxmom you were exceptionally entertaining last night

Thank you

[vixmom]

Nice photo DR VIXMOM.

Thank you!

[vixmom]

Why the fat hell did he not call me? I would have answered the phone.

It drives me crazy when people text or email and are surprised that I don’t respond for hours

If you need to talk to me NOW ring* my damn phone and TALK to me.

[vixmom]

I, for one, would love to read your treatise on apple polishing.

I did it on actually polishing apples. 

I first explained that the women in my family line for generations ( including my grandmother) had run fruit stands back in the old country and the art of properly polishing apples by hand to aid in sales had been taught to me from the time I was old enough to hold an apple.

Then I illustrated by actually polishing an apple while discussing proper rubbing techniques, including speed, firmness of grip (hard enough to polish, soft enough  to avoid bruising the apple) *edit*
I also had different types of materials to polish with, paper towel, nylon, 100% cotton to show that the cotton was optimal for polishing

Then I explained that UCLA had done an extensive study  of sales of polished vs unpolished apples and discovered that polished apples of the same type, size, condition of ripeness etc sold 4 x faster than unpolished apples.

Then I held up a picture of a automated applepolisher ( which I had drawn) which I claimed was now commonly used in the apple industry.

Discussed the advantages of using distilled vs spring water to clean the apples and disparaged the use of waxes that coat the skins.


I did get an A+ and convinced about half the class that I had extensively researched the topic and came from a long line of Hungarian apple polishers.

[vixmom]

It was nearly 50 years ago, but it was such a fun moment I’ve never forgotten it

[John G.]

I’m sold.

[vixmom]

So……

I believe I left off with two unattended desks, a milling crowd and a grumpy husband

[vixmom]

And no bookcase in our possession
