One of my friends at work often says, "On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog." No offense to real dogs and dog-lovers.

"Woof!" *wag*

Re: No one on the internet knows you're a dog. That is exactly what one of the Wikipedia "experts" leveled at me when I kept insisting I had neither the expertise nor the will (not to mention the time) to "clone" an admin ID, which is one of the many spurious things of which they accused me. Of course, they also insisted that I was not Jeffrey Kauffman and had not written "Shedding Light on Shadowland," and, as Dr. Phil would say, that dog won't bark, LOL.

TOD:

I used to collect a lot of different stuff--toys, books, LPs, musical theatre memorabilia, but not as much anymore. For one thing, there's not much room left to display things. And for another, I have to say that, as much as I love eBay, it's sort of taken away the thrill of the chase and the celebration of the find for me. It's more rare than not that I look for something on the site and it's not being offered by someone in some sort of condition or other. Just about everything is obtainable, depending on how vigilant you are and how much you are willing to pay.

But I am still grateful for eBay. It was there that I found my most cherished collectible--the Tony Award medallion won by Alexis Smith for FOLLIES.

How does one become so bunny-phobic that such a series of very strange cartoon panels become an obsession?

It's funny...but it's SO wierd.

I wasn't quite sure what to make of the "BgdK" that Bruce first mentioned.

Then, seeing the address with the capital "D" told me all I needed to know...it's someone with very low self-esteem overcompensating with the "BgDk" nomenclature.

Sad, that.

And still deliriously funny that he thinks people might believe it.

Collectibles:

Theatrical window cards, my most prized of which are "Mack and Mabel, " "DreamGirls" and "A Little Night Music" (all originals in near-mint condition).

Movie posters, my most prized being linen-backed one-sheets of "Mutiny on the Bounty," "Demetrius and the Gladiators", and "The Egyptian", plus the British quad of "Cleopatra" and the half sheet of "There's No Business Like Show Business."

I also collect lobby cards -- full sets on some movie titles, but title cards on most. I also collect still sets...having to build them from individual still sales on eBay is the fun of it!!

I have numerous autographed stills, and signatures on things such as hotel registers, checks, etc. My main target is film composers, many of which are autographed copies of books (Mancini, Tiomkin), signed contracts (Hugo Friedhofer, Jerome Moross, Lionel Newman), and photos of composers conducting their music.

I truly don't have room to store these treasures, but I have them and much, much more...and cannot imagine what will become of them should I drop dead!

Dan (the man), I agree that the internet has taken away the joy of the hunt. Mostly, in the closing of stores of the independent operators. I love to walk into a musty old shop and sleuth the stacks of the merchandise for discoveries.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #75 on:** January 28, 2006, 11:21:57 AM »

Nice try Ann but there is no "au" at the end of the address. (nor a University of West Sydney). The bgDK would indeed be a "Fancy" and not a reality. LOL

I’m so glad that P is finely gone. The final nail in the coffin was when they said he was only putting in 20 hours a week when the other were doing over 60.
I also think that George will be the next to go.

DR Danise, the host said P had done 20 HOURS TOTAL IN THE 5 WEEKS. 20 hours per week would have been good. She said he had done 20 hours total while the others had done 130 hours.

I was really happy too. But I think the show manipulated the audience into voting him out. But I don't mind!

I collect: orchestra, opera, ballet, operetta and musical theatre scores
musical theatre books, libretti, histories, bios
souvenir programs, occasional playbills

Because of the BABES IN TOYLAND project, I've been collecting ephemera on the original production; photos never turn up, but I have a beautful program from the original production at the Majestic Theatre in New York at Columbus Circle which I will give to the NYPL Theatre Collection since all their original programs have turned to dust. I also have three programs from the Chicago Grand Opera House, where the show began in 1903; two programs are from the original summer run of 1903 and one from the September 1904 return tour. I've also got programs for BABES from the St Louis Muny, a disco production by the Weisslers, a California rewrite by Toby Bluth, a 1929 Broadway revival, a few other places, and I'm still collecting. Through eBay, I've managed to find all three editions of the early vocal scores for BABES, a few 1903-1904 newspaper clippings, and a great Jan-June 1905 theatre scrapbook of New York entertainment covering opera, theatre, vaudeville, etc. with great clippngs and photos.

I also look out for other memorabilia on Victor Herbert, Jerome Kern, and actors and staff for all the shows the project I'm on is researching.

elmore3003, I always forget, was it the 1903 or the 1904 production of BABES IN TOYLAND the first one you attended?

Good morning, all! I'm not moving very energetically this morning and I slept quite late. Last night I had a wonderful visit with DR Ben and Anthony, catching up on all the gossip and seeing the photos of their Christmas vacation to Ireland and Cardiff. They are quite wonderful hosts, and evening passed too quickly.

Today, I have few plans, so perhaps I'll finally tidy up this place and make another pass at getting my income tax receipts in order. Charlotte wants to see TRISTAN AND ISOLDE tonight, so I need to ascertain where and what its showtimes are.

I am wary aobut seeing the movie after seeing the rendition from the early 80s that had Kate Mulgrew as Icolde. Then on the other hand the modern version for the legend might be fun to see.

Just had an discussion with a friend concerning this interpretation of the Celtic legend...

Thank you to the DRs who recommended the very amusing "Shaun Of The Dead". (Rodzinski or Jed perhaps!).

I concurred with the recommendation. I'm pleased you enjoyed it and great news the rain has continued.

DRLaura I will gladly send you some of our rain. I’m sure up North they are even more willing than I am.

My response to BgDkUWS@aol.com:

Thank you for your query. I think an equally interesting question would be, "Why do you read a website when you find its proprietor an insufferable bore?" Doesn't that make you an insufferable twit for doing so? I think an equally interesting question would be, "Why don't you have the courage of your convictions and sign your name, rather than just being insufferably anonymous? But, it's much easier to write these pithy e-mails anonymously, isn't it? That's the Internet for you.

I passed on your comment to my readers, several of them wish to write you. So I'll just pass on your insufferable e-mail address to them.

Thanks for writing, and do keep enjoying the site. I give you my word that I will continue to strive to be the best insufferable bore that I can be. I wouldn't want to let you down.

DR Elmore, I appreciated your comments about the show Passions. You echo how so many feel about the show. The man who writes Passions also Writes Days and they have destoryed that show.

DR. Ben thank you for sharing your pics of Dublin and Cardiff.

DR DRLaura, I hope you get rain soon.

Greetings to one and all..

I think what I have ascertained is that it is one of those DataLounge queens, you know, the ones that do love to trash both me and HHW with comments taken out of context and that sort of thing. According to them I'm one of the most horrible people who ever walked the face of the earth. And I'm jiggy with that.

I have never even heard of DataLounge. It must be part of that gay agenda that nobody told me about.

MBarnum · « **Reply #88 on:** January 28, 2006, 12:17:17 PM »

I have many items that would be considered collectables, that are quite precious to me, if not anyone else.

I have lots of nifty novelty salt and pepper shakers from the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s...and then there is my collection of June Kenney memorablia.

Probably my best buy was an autographed show pamphlet from Joi Lansing's nightclub program in the 1960s. Her autograph is not easy to find...and actually I have never seen it offered before.

Throughout the 1990s I wrote to many vintage celebrities and sent photos for them to autograph. Many came back signed, some with wonderful letters...many from people who are long gone now such as Myrna Loy, Fay Wray, Lillian Gish.

I have not really ever bought something just because it was collectable...only because I enjoyed it.
