I also found out why the kid had to drop out - for some horrible "new" musical that is clearly and blatantly a rip-off wannabe Dear Evan Hansen - they have a website - the songs are awful, IMO, it's by two people you never heard of, I can't imagine they're paying people to do their demo recording, but she has to miss our show not for the recording but for some promo video they're doing. Two writers I've never heard of and a show in which the characters have epilepsy and various learning disorders.

We had some unexpected rain this morning. It's a good thing I was outside, or I would have missed it. A whole four minutes.

I bet it was a lovely four minutes.

More-rain vibes for Laura's area, too!

Wait, is this an exam for lawyers or bartenders? Or both?

Naturally, Doug can't adjust the postage until he returns from Florida on the 28th. So, here's what I'll offer - if you want to save four bucks on postage, just order now. He'll change it when he gets back, so this is a good opportunity to save four bucks. http://kritzerland.com/benjamink.htm

The narrator of the audiobook I’m listening to says “argle bargle,” a favorite term, is pronounced “ar-jel bar-jel.” No. Just no.

John G. · « **Reply #106 on:** July 18, 2024, 03:00:22 PM »

Bargle spelled backwards is elgrab.

I don't know what this term is.

John G. · « **Reply #108 on:** July 18, 2024, 04:06:46 PM »

noun
noun: argle-bargle
1.
copious but meaningless talk or writing; nonsense.
"bureaucratic argle-bargle"
2.
another term for argy-bargy.

John G. · « **Reply #109 on:** July 18, 2024, 04:10:41 PM »

Argy bargy is pronounced ar-jee bar-jee. Maybe that’s what the narrator was saying

Just finished watching a 1955 Cornel Wilde film with Richard Conte and Earl Holliman, The Big Combo. Score by David Raksin, Tough and sleazy.

There's not much else to tell.

Not an argle or a bargle in sight.

However they're pronounced.
