Well, you've read the notes, the notes were smacked down, and now it is time for you to post until the smacked down cows come home.

And the word of the day is: NONPLUSSED!

And now - Dino at the piano.

Darn...we only had four more posts until Page 15!

I was just about to post this:

The CD that I received [yesterday] was the 1973 London cast recording to No, No, Nanette, released on CD in 1994.

Notes envisaged. Absorbed.

Did BK really just kill the posts at the very precipice of 15 pages? Outrageous.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #7 on:** May 20, 2023, 12:27:47 AM »

Ok, since you insist, BK, I will come down to fill the spot in the Kritzerland event. But only if I can sing “Toots Sweet” about the eatable, tweetable treat.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #8 on:** May 20, 2023, 12:29:59 AM »

Or George and I duet on “Watch Your Footwork” from the Happiest Millionaire.

We made the mistake of going out for dinner over in Tsawwassen with the kids and taking them to the mall. Malls now add all kinds of attractions for kids like riding around on animals on wheels. And bouncy castles. That was all fine, but the line (or “lineup” as Canadians say) to get back home was over an hour and a half.

“Nonplussed” is a word that, through incorrect usage over the years by confused users, has had an incorrect, if not completely opposite, definition accepted and added by Webster’s. This has me nonplussed, but since I can’t do anything about it, I’ll just be nonplussed instead.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #11 on:** May 20, 2023, 12:51:28 AM »

Be prepared to Bob and weave. Sister Cordy’s got dynamite up her sleeve.

Having had and enjoyed the soundtrack to the Happiest Millionaire, imagine my disappointment upon seeing the film and finding only a truncated version of that song sung by Paul Petersen and his pal.

I ask you, dear readers, have you any similar experiences? Where you saw a movie and the songs you knew from the soundtrack were mutilated?

Another comes to mind. “Coffee Break” from How To Succeed. You can see where it’s just about to begin, and then… they just skip it.

And with that, zero guests and zero others, I shall go.

I'm gonna have to shut the computer down when I leave in the morning. It needs a fresh start. Nothing is working as it should and it can't be the Internet connection, which is strong.

Good morning, friends.

I am nonplussed about DR Rodzinski being nonplussed.

Good morning, all!

I did sleep rather well. thak God. Around midnight I got up for a bathroom break and sneaky Thatch, who was sleeping in his old spot on my bed, took over the spot he had the night before last. Sometime later, he had a break and I took back my spot. These cats are devils.

This morning I have an Amazon Fresh delivery. After that, it's a ballet day.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 20, 2023, 03:40:27 AM »

Ann and Jen are behaving strangely lately, and that concerns me. I don't knw if I've upset them, if they're overworked, or having domestic issues. I miss them.

DR vixmom posted this shot of "artist palette" cookies on FB and I thought they were so cute.

Since my email to my 5th floor neighbors went unanswered, I just sent them another. I hope everything is okay.

Amazon Fresh delivered and left. One damaged item: never put a loaf of bread on top of a six-pack of cola, but if you do, do not them place another bag on top of that bag. I now have one mangled loaf of whole wheat bread, and I am not amused.

Last night the cats and I guffawed through the BBC broadcast of the Corley Polytechnic Dramatic Society's production of A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong. I liked it more than Peter Pan Goes Wrong, I think. Peter Pan had one guest star, David Suchet, and Christmas Carol had two, Diana Rigg and Derek Jacobi, whose role of Scrooge and Dickens was usurped by the world's worst amateur dramatic society.

I finally heard from my neighbors. I had forgotten they are now fostering a senior dog, Oscar. They're worried about giving his kennel cough to the cats.

Love the theme for the June Kritzerland show.

I slept a good part of the night. The pain only woke me once.
