That wasn't intended as snark.  I am delighted the work is now being done.

It did, however, get us to page 4.

I am still waiting for a picture of DR scrimshaw's new professional haircut.

I fear moss will grow.

Why would anyone, much less Jimmy, crack corn?

There IS a story behind it.  A rather dark story.

It has another title:  "The Blue Tail Fly", but those words aren't in the lyrics.

In slang, however, the song is an indication of folks just sitting around and sharing gossip.

I guess you could say we all crack corn one way or another.

For those inclined toward watching:

There is a new season of Project Runway (for Jrand72, that's Pwoject Wunway).

Apparently, folks from previous seasons make up the new cast of designers.

May work.  May not.  Won't know until I watch all the bitching and stuff.

John G., love that Hawaiian shirt.

$9 is a great price.
Will you buy more than one?
Like, a dozen, maybe? 😊

I bought five shirts for $62. That’s the first I’ve worn.

I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned Forbidden Broadway yet. Loved those parodies. Favorites included:

Ethel and Mary on Mutual Aggravation Society (“And now I’m Going to do a duet!” Ethel bleats.)
Fosse, Bennett and Prince take on Triplets
Patti LuPone’s mangled lyrics on Anything Goes
Neath the Ashkeban, Tblisi and Kiev Express for Anna Karenina (Better than the music in thst show.)

John G., YES!

Forbidden Broadway, always brilliant.

Attended many of their performances, and have purchased several recordings.

Also purchased the book, Forbidden Broadway:Behind The Mylar Curtain.

Lots of anecdotes and parody lyrics.

I had totally forgotten that I was to have my HVAC serviced today.  Annual checkup.  It was supposed to be at 3, but he finished an earlier appointment and asked if I minded 1:30.

Mind?  I don't think I mind.  I have nothing BUT time.



Best way to remind you, ask to arrive early.

I sent the seller a message about the missing package, and ended it by stating that if the package was perchance returned to them, I still wanted it. The seller replied erather nastily that USPS never loses a package with their tracking numbers, implying, I guess, that it couldn't be lost, as if I were pulling a scam. My response to that was not so friendly.

Recently, Fox "News" claimed that the White House had flown a "controversial new transgender flag that promotes grooming and pedophilia."

This is the SAME FLAG that Fox itself used to wrap its logo in its 2022 Social Responsibility report.

I am going to hear a pianist at a jazz club tonight. I am going unwillingly - I simply don't like to go out anymore. But I am going.
