Looking over DVDs in the to-watch cabinet (long since outgrew the to-watch shelf), I spied a DVD I've had for a couple of eyars, still with the cellophane on and can't believe I hadn't gotten around to it - SUPERMAN (the Christopher Reeve version).

So, off came the wrapping and the disc will be viewed at the first opportunity. Looking forward to it.

Well I am back from that foreign country I was visiting for the weekend.

Nice to be home again.

Downtown Montreal has changed soooo much and for the better.It's back to the way it was before 1976 Vibrant and beeming with business. The only thing missing were the grand old movie palaces that once lined the street

BTW, read some comments about the new SUPERMAN trailer that Bryan Singer showed to some folks at Comic-Con last week, and the place stood up and cheered when the trailer was over. Supposedly, if the movie fulfills the promise of the trailer, Warners will have rescued another franchise from near-death (BATMAN being the other one which seems to have been revived this summer).

I haven't commented on the new releases as I only received them last friday and really haven't time to really listen to them. I like to listen three or four times before I comment. So I hope I will have a chance to do it this week.

Maybe some Viagra will help

I don't have a problem with that kind of limpness. But the emotional drain those two shows put on my person tonight was something pretty extraordinary.

And we've now gone past the official number for all-time lows, so no worry about that.

I took my nephew to see the Star Wars film. They were showing it via digital projection. The sound and the visuals on the screen were outstanding. Too bad the film wasn't. They showed it on the largest screen I have seen in a long time (Not counting IMAX) and I think it was even curved.

Michael · « **Reply #127 on:** July 24, 2005, 08:32:23 PM »

Well I hate to see a second place all time low. So I will post some more

Some Paul Lynde Humor

Peter Marshall: Paul, can you get an elephant drunk?
Paul Lynde: Yes, but he still won't go up to your apartment
Peter Marshall: If the right part comes along, will George C. Scott do a nude scene?
Paul Lynde: You mean he doesn't have the right part?

Peter Marshall: Will a goose help warn you if there's an intruder on your property?
Paul Lynde: There's no better way!

Peter Marshall: In "Alice in Wonderland", who kept crying "I'm late, I'm late?"
Paul Lynde: Alice, and her mother is sick about it.

Peter Marshall: According to Tony Randall, "Every woman I've been intimate with in my life has been..." What?
Paul Lynde: Bitterly disappointed.

Peter Marshall: Diamonds should not be kept with your family jewels, why?
Paul Lynde: They're so cold!

Peter Marshall: What is a pullet?
Paul Lynde: A little show of affection...

Peter Marshall: In the Middle Ages, Paul, people in convents were not allowed to eat beans because they believed something about them we now know isn't true. What?
Paul Lynde: Well, I know they took a vow of silence...

Peter Marshall: Paul, Snow White...was she a blonde or a brunette?
Paul Lynde: Only Walt Disney knows for sure...

That STAR WARS film is the only movie I've ventured out to the movies to see in months. I'm waiting for CINDERELLA MAN, BATMAN BEGINS, and WAR OF THE WORLDS to come to the theater down the street. Nothing else out there right now hold much interest.

Some ominous reading in the newspaper this morning about the likelihood of major hurricanes on the East Coast in August and September. Already the season has been more active and the level of intensity has been beyond expectations, and forecasters say it looks potentially dreadful for late summer and early fall around here. Scary.

Matt H. · « **Reply #131 on:** July 24, 2005, 08:38:50 PM »

Well, that appears to be about all the damage I can do on the forum for one day. I will head for bed and wish everyone a good rest of the night.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #132 on:** July 24, 2005, 08:42:24 PM »

Very funny post DRJOSE. I am remembering some of them for later!

And thanks to DRMS for throwing some Paul Lynde our way.

Hot Hot Hot

Peter Marshall: Paul, how should a woman properly cross her legs, at the ankle or at the knee?

Paul Lynde: Oh, neither, if she wants to get anywhere in show business.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #134 on:** July 24, 2005, 08:45:34 PM »

Yes, I think we've done a good job laying down some posts.

I have a cold. I thought it was just allergies stirred up during last night's DRUMSTRUCK performance (400+ drums can stir up a lot of dust), but alas, alack! I'm sick. I don't really feel all that terrible, but I'm congested and snotty and have that all-over tingly feeling in my body that indicates to me that I'm ill. I have to get over it by Thursday because I have my second sleep study for my sleep apnea, and if you've got a cold, you can't come in. I can't wait another three months for a new appointment!

It was loverly to meet DRs TPunk & Rodzinski - and great fun to see their faces as they exited the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. Oh, Ms. Somers, how brief we knew thee.

I'm now listening to MARY POPPINS (London Cast Recording). It's interesting. I don't know how I like the new songs and arrangements. It bothers me that they sing "Prac-ti-cuh-ly Perfect." I'm nitpicky, I guess, cause I'm sicky-poo.

Michael · « **Reply #137 on:** July 24, 2005, 08:52:04 PM »

Here are a few more

Peter Marshall: Prometheus was tied to the top of a mountain by the gods because he had given something to man. What did he give us?
Paul Lynde: I don't know what you got, but I got a sports shirt.

Peter Marshall: When Richard Nixon was Vice-President, he went someplace on a "good will mission," but instead wound up being stoned and shouted at. Where did this take place?
Paul Lynde: Pat's room .

Peter Marshall: True or false, cow's horns are used to make ice cream.
Paul Lynde: You mean those weren't chocolate chips?

(I know these next two are already quoted to death but I just couldn't resist)
Peter Marshall: What are "dual purpose” cattle good for that other cattle aren't?
Paul Lynde: They give milk and cookies...but I don't recommend the cookies!

Peter Marshall: Paul, why do Hell's Angels wear leather?
Paul Lynde: Because chiffon wrinkles too easily.

Peter Marshall: True or false...research indicates that Columbus liked to wear bloomers and long stockings.
Paul Lynde: It's not easy to sign a crew up for six months...

Back from a lovely dinner. Had a lovely e-mail from darling Hisaka, who was very taken with Mr. Haines' new CD. I told her to post her thoughts here and hopefully she will.

Sandra · « **Reply #147 on:** July 24, 2005, 10:16:20 PM »

OK, if you want posts...

The monks in a monastery were sworn to silence. But three of the monks made a secret pact. Once a year, one of them could say one sentence.

At breakfast, the monk who had not spoken for three years looked up from his bowl and said, "I hate oatmeal!" And that was his sentence for the next three years.

After one year of total silence, the second monk replied, "Well, I happen to like oatmeal." And that was his sentence for the next three years.

After another year passed, the third monk slammed his mug on the table and said, "I'm sick and tired of this constant bickering about oatmeal!"
