Jennifer, The Name Game was a popular song in the sixties, by Shirley somebody (what was her last name?).

Okay but how do you play? I could sweat yesterday you asked who wanted to play.

DR Jose:  You are remembering "The Making of A Male Model" which starred Joan Collins and Kevin McCarthy.  The film attempted to generate heat with heartthrob Jon-Erik Hexum as the "male being made into a model" by Collins.  Jeff Conaway was, indeed, in that cast.

Jon-Erik generated plenty of heat in my direction. Sad end to a promising talent.

Am home today, folks.  

The general feverish, nauseous, headachey feelings of yesterday afternoon have evolved into an overall oh-that's-new-!, knock-me-out-and-drag-me-down-some-stairs, but don't-stray-10-feet-from-a-bathroom state of affairs.

I'll spare you "details."

Yeah I know, but I like games and wanted to play.

Btw, they have selected the next Bachlorette (tv series). It will be Meredith and not Kelly Jo as I predicted.

I felt so bad for the lady who had lost both children, her parents, and her husband! And she still didn't win QUEEN FOR A DAY!


I KNOW!!!  It never made sense to me that someone could be on that show with a really hard-luck story and not win.

The cynic in me makes me believe that if she had also said her whites were always dingy, she'd have won the crown and gotten a new washing machine with a 10-year supply of Duz, or something.

Such a sad end, indeed.  I am not gun savvy in any way (and don't WANT to be--guns scare the heck out me) but having watched a John Wayne movie where he shoots a guy with a blank  and said something about, "If he dies, he'll be the first to die from a blank." or some such. I was in shock when I read that was how Jon-Erik Hexum died. I innocently believed  that you couldn’t get hurt with a blank, largely from that John Wayne movie.

Get well vibes to DR Ron.  Err pardon me if I type this from a distance with gloves on.  Don't want to take any chances you understand.  
 I hope this won't happen to you.

I'm feeling better than yesterday, DR Ron, thanks for asking. I took Comtrex last night before I went to bed, and it seemed to stave off the flu. Probably its effects are just in my mind, but it works whatever it is!

OMG, DR Ron! Duz! Hadn't thought of that in years. Shows how often I play my LI'L ABNER cast album ("it does things that outdone Duz! / Put 'em back the way they wuz!")

OMG DR MATTH!  I had never understood that line in that song!  And now it all makes sense!

I have only done the show once....and just did the makeup so I didnt' see a libretto or score!  OMG!

I am laughing now almost 50 years after it was written!

My favorite lyric of the piece is still:

"....they was long, lean and lanky
but they loved hanky panky....
and they made the bood-war buzz....
put 'em back the way they wuz!"  

Or sumpin like dat!


OH DR Danise - how did you manipulate your photo?  It is too funny!

OH DR Danise - how did you manipulate your photo?  It is too funny!

I used MS Picture It.  I just found the hat, candy cane, bag and snow flakes and compressed them down to a size that would work and pasted them into the photo.  Easy.  That's one thing I like about Picture It--it comes with so many graphics you can use.  

I was going to to put a Christmas tree behind me but thought that might be a bit much.  

I love what you can do with a computer and digtial camera.  I was never into taking pictures before but now I try to carry my camera around just  for fun.

I never do manage to have it with me when I really wish I did.  I'd have given anything to get a picture of Bear when that car backfired.  I wish I could have shared that with you all.  It was sooo funny.

Here's a question for BK and all the Hainsies and Kimlets: How much decorating do you do for the holidays?  This counts for both exterior and interior decorating.

When I was growing up, we generally had the tree with a hodge-podge of ornaments that had we collected over the years, a creche, and a wall hanging made of felt that my mother had made (another tree, in abstract, with lots of sequins and other pretty things on the "ornaments").  Outside, we had a simple string of lights along the front edge of the roof, and a wreath on the front door.

Der Brucer and I have never decorated before this year, simply because there was no reason to, as we rarely if ever had visitors to our home in Long Beach.  This year, our first in Rehoboth Beach, we've got his family to entertain, which means putting up a tree.  Der Brucer has a spot at the front window picked out for it's display, and found a sturdy box to set it on so that the dogs can't get to it easily.  And somehow I'm going to deal with my fear of heights as I put up a string of lights along the front edge of the roof.

Yesterday, we had to do some shopping for said family.  His daughter had her eye on a fibre-optic snowman at Lowe's Hardware, but the store nearest her had sold out.  We found the same at the store nearest us, and I have to say it is the ugliest damn thing I can think of for putting on a front yard.  The good news is that their house is set way back in the woods, so no one can even see their yard.  It cost eighty bucks, which I would rather have seen spent elsewhere (like the lad's college education funds), but there is no accounting for taste.

I want to find a wreath.  The front door looks empty.

Dear BK, although I adore the club sandwich (my friend Steve on tour used to make fun at me because I ALWAYS ordered that) I will never call it a RBSTHBTLTTISLYCBGYMAI.  How the heck do you pronounce that, anyway?  Reminds me of Big Bird's alphabet song on Sesame Street:  "Ab cdefghi jklmnop qrstuvwxyz..." (pronounced ab kadeffgi jekkyl manop querstoov wicksiz).

DH Noel, in the immortal words of The Eagles, "Lighten up while you still can; Don't even try to understand."

Which leads me back to yesterday.  DRs MattH and Ron, I agree that Clay was overall golden on his performances, and Vincent stuck out as uncharacteristically bad.  But Matt, you're right, he could have done it well but he just "didn't get it".  I think if he had bothered to do some thinking about what the song meant, and didn't try to embellish it so much, he could have done a nice job.  The backstage story is interesting in that it shows how the producers manipulate the show, but it doesn't excuse Clay's choice to make the song (like everything else he sang) a friggin' Vegas Lounge Lizard riff-fest.  It's a beautiful, simple song of compassion to a troubled soul.  It does not need, and in fact suffers from, embellishment.  Clay's inability to leave it alone told me that he's not much of an artist.  But what can you expect from AI, you just have to accept it for what it is and not expect true artistry from it.

S. Woody, when I was a kid we would haul out the boxes of Christmas stuff from the attic, which included the fake tree (which we would have to unbend and readjust) and all the decorations for the tree and the house, including the stockings and stuff.  It was a yearly ritual and every year I looked forward to seeing those same decorations again.  The stockings were hand-decorated by my uncles and aunts when they were kids with glitter and glue (sometimes you would find unclaimed stocking stuffers from the previous year hiding in the toes) and the nativity figures were all chipped, and some of them were duplicates of each other.  I think we had like 5 wise men, different kinds of sheep, two baby Jesuses (Jesi?), several figures who could have been either shepherds or Josephs, and a whole choir of various shapes and sizes of seraphim.  But I loved doing the nativity scene and would spend hours blocking it, placing and re-placing the figures.  Now it seems too religious for our household, especially at the Mother-in-Law's place.  I had to beg and plead and nag just to get a damn tree this year.

Also, S. Woody, if you're anywhere near a woodsy area or a nursery, you might find it satisfying -- therapeutic, in fact -- to pick up some evergreen branches and some green twine or pipe cleaners and make your own wreath.  It's pretty easy.
