That's a pretty funny video DR FREDDIE.

Thank you for that, too!

I also saw DAME EDNA on tour.....and everyone was laughing so hard including me.

About ten minutes after the show started, some late comers wandered in and were trying to get to their seats.

Dame Edna stopped the show and asked them where they were from....they said Carmel.....just north of Indy. She looked them up and down and said: "I came all the way from Australia and I got here on time."

I'm sure it was a line she used at each show.....but it was very funny...

LOL - It could even be worth having some plants coming in late at every performance to get that line in.

Amazon Fresh delivery charge on orders under $100 has gone from $6.95 to $9.95. This really pisses me off.

I think I will peel potatoes while I listen to yesterday's rehearsal. My life is too thrilling. Please, God, send a good job my way.

TOD:

My initial exposure to Dame Edna was on television, but I had occasion to see her live twice when I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area"

In 2004, I saw her "Back With A Vengeance" show at the Curran Theater. The audience howled most of the performance, and I was howling along with it.

In 2008, her "Live and Intimate in Her First Last Tour" played at the Post Theater. The Assistant Director of the GSA I worked for treated me to the show as a reward for the house-sitting I had done for her over the past year. We both laughed and cried and it was a great show.

In the show I saw in 2004, she commented on the manner of casual dress she could see on patrons from the stage. She had a few exchanges with some of the audience, and then held her hand over her eyes and looked up toward the balcony. "If this is how you dress in the prime seats, what must they be wearing up in the balcony? Trash bags?"

Morning, team!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #70 on:** March 05, 2024, 07:39:56 AM »

I saw Dame Edna somewhere once but not in one of her Broadway shows, but I can’t remember what. Always funny.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #71 on:** March 05, 2024, 07:44:39 AM »

She also had a basket on a long pole and took shoes from people in the audience......they didn't get them back until the end of the show...her comments about the shoes were hilarious.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #72 on:** March 05, 2024, 07:44:45 AM »

I was certain that I'd logged on and said at least a good morning earlier, but it sure looks like I didn't!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #73 on:** March 05, 2024, 07:45:50 AM »

I came to Barry Humphries via, as I will often mention, the movie Shock Treatment, where he created such an indelible character as gameshow host/conspirator Bert Schnick. Many absurd quotable lines that live on in my laughing heart.

“Brad will learn how to care in the surgical chair!”
“I’m gonna be there! Ain’t we all, viewers?”
“Jay-net? Are you deezent?”

ChasSmith · « **Reply #74 on:** March 05, 2024, 07:47:42 AM »

Anyway, here I am for an all too brief visit before I have to leave for rehearsal.

(What is it today? Oh yes. Drowsy.)

I detest this new keyboard. Somehow I logged out of Facebook, I cannot find the last password in my files and I cannot manage to change it to log back on.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #76 on:** March 05, 2024, 07:49:15 AM »

I must be the only one here who never saw Dame Edna in anything!

I remember Nathan Lane in Forum in like 1998 or whenever. At a show I was at, he took a good five minutes to roast latecomers. I forget which restaurant he would say they’d come from, Applebees? Howling laffs.

Wait. WTF is up with Facebook just now? I'm having to log in on a new screen, and I can't get in, either. Is this what's happening for DR Elmore?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #79 on:** March 05, 2024, 08:15:36 AM »

It's not only DR Elmore and me, but many thousands of other people as well.
I googled, and it's being reported all over.

(Whew.)

Oh yes I was afraid I’d been JRanded on Facebook but the whole site is F’d right now.

But the best part is that you can upload your own pictue to the watch and have that as the watch face! And look what I uploaded:
