Watching the second part of Emil und die Detective, an early German film with script by Billie Wilder. It’s fun, because it’s about a gang of kids, “detectives,” who help out a kid who has been drugged and robbed. Unfortunately, it’s entirely in German with no subtitles.

But kids are kids, even in a Billie Wilder script.

They’re smoking cigarettes and fighting over girls, even though they look to be younger than springtime.

Not a good time to be antagonizing the French. We’re off to Paris on Friday. Mrs R has ordered us clothing with maple leafs and “Canada” conspicuous. Sad but true.

I'd read that Americans did this during tRump's first term.

Playbill article on the Gypsy orchestrations for the revival, both the restoration of the original and new. Larry isn’t mentioned, but Josh is.

That's a great article.

The New Yorker has a hilarious updated schedule of events at the Kennedy Center with events like “Roseanne Sings Sondheim (Tentative).”

My fav: July 8-11 — (Exclusive opening) Exhibit of Brass Calf made from returned Kennedy Center Honors medals

I wish I could link it, but I don’t have a subscription.

I love wintergreen, it's my favorite of the mint flavors going all the way to Life Savers and "Wint-O-Green". Sadly, I don't recall it as a gum flavor.

What a coinkydink! "Wint-O-Green" is my favorite flavor of Life Savers, too!

I wouldn't expect to be mentioned. Joshie was in charge of this project, and he and Jason should get all the credit. I doubt Andy Einhorn even knew I was involved.

Hmm, maybe I'm misremembering. Or maybe it wasn't Wrigley, but Trident or some other brand.

Good idea about the shirts DR RODZINSKI.

I remember Emil & The Detectives as a two part Disney tv show....there may have even been a sequel.

Roger Mobley played Emil and he was most excellent.

Does it taste as good as it looks? I now see you already answered my question.

And the pie crust tastes great. I will have to experiment with it again. It is different in that it calls for both butter and cream cheese.

That does sound good. Are those raisins in the pie?

Jane · « **Reply #115 on:** March 18, 2025, 12:31:44 PM »

I usually will pass on a regular apple pie so my interest in this one is a great compliment.

This is a photo of Jenny, the legendary cat who carted her new-born litter off the Titanic before it sailed for New York. Annabelle could play her!

Lotta bullshit in that Playbill article on Gypsy. To begin, Josh Clayton took the idea of going back to the original scores to Andy Einhorn, who is not telling the truth when he claims he took the idea to Josh.

Bubble gum
Juicy fruit
Doublemint
Dentyne
Black Jack

Mostly I chewed a sugarless gum my mother purchased.
