Well, you've read the notes, you've lived the notes, you've partaken of the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the fershluganah cows come home.
-
I just ate some popcorn AND cereal. I am full. I am sleepy. I am going to bed. (Oh - thanks for 'splainin' the church-house, Joey. Sounds like a great setup.)

Last night (actually, less than an hour ago), Jay posted this:
Dear Reader Joey: You may or may not be pleased to know that one of your posts this evening happened to be the 66,666th one on this here discussion board.
I was in the middle of posting this long (and boring...even to me) story about how I don't believe in unlucky numbers and when I went to post, I lost the whole thing. Well (a Ragtime reference). I was then going to go on to say that I had faked a screen capture of the 66,666 moment because it's pretty easy to do, and here it is. This is exactly what it would look like if I had gotten it for real:
-
Just had to share. :)
-
As I mentioned yesterday, the State Fair pictures are done. We now have a lovely shot of Anthony, one of my sisters and me celebrating the 100th Year of the Ice Cream Cone at Dairy Queen. Yummm!

I'm listening to AccuRadio right now. When I left the house at 5:55 am I forgot the CDs I had set aside (I did remember my banana for the oatmeal). I have a few CDs here at the office, Julie and Carol at Lincoln Center which we recently transferred, Wicked, the first CD of Kiss Me Kate from 1990, not the Rhino re-release with the extras, the score to Disney's Aladdin, another recent LP to CD transfer, 'S Wonderful, 'S Marvelous, 'S Gershwin (a 1971 NBC Bell Family Theatre television special w/Jack Lemmon, Fred Astaire, Leslie Uggams, Peter Nero, Larry Kert and others), the score to Reds (an underrated movie IMHO), Side Show, Plain and Fancy, the 1991 Assassins, a Blossom Dearie CD from 1951, a Dave Frishberg compilation, all 3 Kritzer CDs, and Gwen Verdon's Sweet Charity (the original, not the re-release with the extras) so I guess I do have something to listen to.
My, my, my (that's 3 mys) this has turned into a long post. I will now update my Virus program according to the instructions provided by our IT department.
Later, gaters.

I won't yet mention the CD I've been listening to, because it's the answer to this timely trivia question:
Name the song (and the musical it's from) that includes "Yom Kippur" in its lyrics. (Bonus: What rhymes with "Yom Kippur"?)
-
And, for DR Panni:
The weather in Toronto has been summery - minus the humidity.
-
I just finished reading "The Perks of Being A Wallflower" and I could not put it down. It is a wonderful book, but as of yet I can't really put into words what I feel about it yet. My mind is still racing and trying to wrap itself around what this book truly means. It may be considered a book for high school kids, but it has lessons that we all can learn. Definately a recommended read.
-
It's just ripe for some kissing. I'd hate to think you're kissing a few chicks who are right for some kissing but not ripe.
-
The Media Check of Me:
CD Player (at home): A Little Night Music, original cast recording. Just because...
CD Player (at work): Green Day--American Idiot. Finally! Some decent rock music!
DVD Player: Nothing, but I plan to crack open the Lost In Space Season Two set this weekend.
VHS: I taped Lost and B'way's Lost Treasures II, which I've yet to see in it's entirety.
-
DR Dan-In-Toronto; I told you you were funny yesterday (or was it the day before?), but the two jokes you posted yesterday really made me laugh.
DR Panni: OK, we thought our Morgan was totally delicious as a puppy, but your Abie was truly scrumptious (ooh, a CCBB reference). I LOVE that picture! Perhaps you can get him a job as the Jester in the all-dog company of ONCE UPON A MATTRESS! (Or has he graduated to Wizard or Septimus, due to age?)
DR Noel: I will be interested to hear what you think of GOD OR MERMAN. I saw it when they were here in Rochester last year. Are they part of the NAMT Festival, or the "Other" New Musical Festival? (I used to be active in NAMT when I was at CAMI...in fact, I co-chaired their Commissions Committee for a time.)
Media Check:
CD/Car: Broken (it's one of those Discmen that I hook up through the tape deck), so I am listening to an old tape I made that includes COCO and GOLDILOCKS.
CD/Office: And the World Goes 'Round (Yes, I am still in mourning) (oooh, almost a THREE SISTERS reference)
VCR: Last night's Survivor and Apprentice for the Dear Partner. (I vowed not to get involved in either of those ever again....)
DVD: Empty
BTW (by the way, in internet lingo), the reason I was taping things for the Dear Partner is that he had rehearsal last night, as he is essaying the role of M. Lindsay Woolsey in Pittsford Musicals production of MAME. Not he greatest role (he played Older Patrick the last time they did it, 20 years ago or so), but he is now in that in between stage where he is too old for Older Patrick, and too young for Babcock. And let's face it, who cares about the men in MAME, right?
-
I won't yet mention the CD I've been listening to, because it's the answer to this timely trivia question:
Name the song (and the musical its from) that includes "Yom Kippur" in its lyrics. (Bonus: What rhymes with "Yom Kippur"?)
The Zulu and the Zayde?
The Bar Mitzvah Boy?
Falsettos? (I am pretty sure it's not this one....)
Milk and Honey?
Funny Girl? (I KNOW it's not this one....)
Hello, Solly?
The Borscht Capades?
(Yes, those two were both actual shows.....)
Yidl mitn fidl?
Tintypes?
The Golden Land?
Amongst a college friend and I, the answer to your rhyme query would be "Big Dipper" (but it had a totally different connotation.....). And whatever it is, it has to be better than the SUNSET BLVD kosher/brochure rhyme.

DR Ben: Reading about your recent LP to CD transfers of JULIE AND CAROL AT LINCOLN CENTER and S'WONDERFUL, S'MARVELOUS, S'GERSHWIN reminded me that those two specials faced off against each other at the 1971 Emmys with the Gershwin special (and its star Jack Lemmon) taking home the award.
As much as I enjoyed that special, I have to say I was heartbroken that night that JULIE AND CAROL AT LINCOLN CENTER didn't win. At that point, Julie Andrews had not won an Emmy after being nominated several times for previous specials and guest appearances, and I SO wanted her and Carol to carry home the Emmy that night. (Carol had already won several times.)
Most ironic, Julie twice went to the podium to accept Emmys that night but not for herself. Glenda Jackson won two Emmys that year for ELIZABETH R , and Julie was her designated acceptor. What bitter irony!
Of course, Julie won the Emmy the next season for her magnificent variety series. Still, I have fond memories of that second Julie and Carol special, and I love that soundtrack.

Friday Media Check:
CD - UNSUNG SONDHEIM (car)
NUNCRACKERS (OCR) (bedroom)
DVD - LOST IN LA MANCHA
I've been so usy with rehearsals for the show and helping my friend pack up for his move that media stuff has been on the back burner almost all week.
-
DVD - Although I have many movies to watch, I can't stop watching classic video: "The Gary Moore Show" (4 segments from the daytime show and a complete episode of the evening show). This is a performer who seems to be forgotten today. The daytime show was nothing special (but one segment did feature the comedy team of James Kirkwood, subsequent author of A CHORUS LINE and PS YOUR CAT IS DEAD and Lee Goodman, later the voice of Ralston-Purina for years). The evening show, though was a classic, with Carol Burnett at her best and guest stars Robert Goulet (then on Broadway in CAMELOT), Bob Newhart and Julie London.
I also saw 4 episodes of MEDIC, a show I had never watched (nor had many people) because it was on NBC at the same time CBS had I LOVE LUCY. Richard Boone was supposedly the star, but all he did in the episodes I saw was to narrate. The show was really more of an educational drama about cancer, manic-depression, etc. with a disease of the week, and featured such actors as Charles Bronson, Lee J. Cobb, King Donovan and Vera Miles. An interesting period piece, but if they have a volume 2 I'll skip it.
CD - 2 Frank Loesser compilations that were recently released, one by Cleo Laine and the other by Andrea Marcovici. There are very few song duplications, and along with the BK-produced Liz Callaway Loesser, they give a good overview of the man's career. Also, the recently released live recording of BROADWAY BY THE YEAR 1960 featuring the only person to be considered an HHW God without ever posting to the site: BRENT BARRETT.
VHS - Nothing
Book - I started reading the Inge biography. I find it very interesting that for a man who was troubled by his homosexuality his entire life the first chapter features three pictures of a 10-year-old Inge in full drag.
-
And which pronunciation do you mean? The old-fashioned (Ashkenazic) "Yum kipper?" Or the more modern, Sephardic "Yohm Key-Poor?"
Stuart,
I just forced myself to listen again. I imagine the lyricist got it right, but it sounds like the singer is saying:
Yun Kipper.
So "dipper" would work as the rhyme - but it ain't the answer.

Stripper? Is there a line in "You Gotta Get a Gimmick" that I am forgetting?
-
DiT: We are our own frenzy!

Are you DRs aware of the "Amazon/CD Now Alliance". I placed an order on CD Now and got my confirmation from Amazon. I guess they are one big company now. I'm not sure of the ramifications yet.
-
Stripper? Is there a line in "You Gotta Get a Gimmick" that I am forgetting?
Not "stripper." But that's a better answer than the real one. And not Yidl mitn Fidl (or any of your other good tries).
Molly Picon in Yidl mitn Fidl:
(http://www.juedisches-archiv-chfrank.de/jiddisch/film/jidm_fidele2.jpg)
-
From an interview with Joseph Green, who directed Yidl mitn Fidl:
"I wanted to make a folktale about Jewish life in Poland. When you talk about folklore, you talk about song. So I decided to make a musical folk film. As the star, Molly Picon was the first name that came to mind.... Konrad Tom, the head of a political-satirical theater in Warsaw, came to me with a story about four musicians who played in marketplaces and at weddings. At one wedding, the bride cries because her family is poor and she has to marry an old farmer. So the musicians steal her. Molly Picon was not suited to play the bride, so I changed one of the musicians into a girl who is wandering with her father. Because it's hard to travel with a girl, she dresses as a boy. This became "Yidl Mitn Fidl," my first Yiddish film."

-
But that's a better answer than the real one.
I know now (oooh, a ROBERT AND ELIZABETH reference!):
WATERLOGGED: The Brian Kelly Story
AGENT (jubliant over the excision of Kelly from his roster):
'No,' he says...'don't wanna film with that dolphin.
I need to get some golf in'
And I say, 'Listen, bub!
I got you that FLIPPER show for lotsa dough
'stead of listening to that Yom Kippur shofar blow and blow!
I'm a fool!
Shoulda been in shul!
-
Matt H, I have fond memories of Julie and Carol at Lincoln Center also. I love the end sequence, Wait Till the Sun Shines, Nellie. Just listening to it makes me smile again. Putting the Gershwin Special up against Julie and Carol just highlights the difficulty of choosing a "winner" or the "better" of the two. I enjoyed both of them so much but I think for me to choose one over the other is difficult.
I posted a short reveiw last weekend about a show I saw at Playwrights Horizons. Well, it's nice to know I'm not all alone in the world. Although critical response doesn't usually determine whether I will see a show, I read the review of the Playwrights show (People Be Heard) in the NY Times today and was happy to see that most of what I said was also said by the reviewer (Charles Isherwood - recently moved over from Variety to the Times). As I mentioned, the audience I was with loved the show and I kept thinking, "What am I missing?" At least one other person felt the same way.
-
Stuart: Funny Brian Kelly bit!
-
Media check:
CD: A couple of CDs by the "Ricky Martin" of Egypt, Amr Diab along with two of the Putumayo CDs Asian Groove and World Groove.
DVD: More of the YOU BET YOUR LIFE: THE BEST EPISODES.
VHS: Emma (1932) starring Marie Dressler, and also the silent version of NOAH'S ARK.
-
And my Bollywood movie for this weekend will be ANKHEN (1967). Starring the handsome Dharmendra and the lovely Mala Sinha in what looks to be a fun James Bond 007 type action film.

Had a wonderful telephone conversation last night with Mr. William Reynolds (who most DRs will remember from ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS where he played Jane Wyman's rather spoiled college age son). We are finishing up some changes on his interview before I send it in to the publisher and we got to talking about his days at Universal and Warner Bros.
He has such fond memories of his career and the people he worked with...he had a funny story about Barbara Stanwyck's disappoval of his being late one day to the set of THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW...after that he was never late again!! LOL! She was rather intimidating...but nice!
-
DR Stuart,
Not "Flipper," but keep trying.
I was going to tell this one yesterday - another story about Torontonians and Jewishisms.
Quite a few years ago, Joseph Green, the director of Yidl mitn Fidl, was in Toronto as part of a tribute to his movies.
Our CBC prides itself on being really fussy about pronunciations - and sometimes even goes a bit overboard. But once in awhile the announcers screw up.
One of Joseph Green's most celebrated movies was Mamele (means "little mother," and is pronounced "ma-ma-la"). I was listening to CBC radio's Metro Morning, as its serious host, Joe Coté, interviewed the director.
"So, Mr. Green," Joe asked him, "what does "mameeeeel" mean?"
The poor director didn't have a clue.

Molly Picon and Mala Sinha. This may just be the most international site on all the internet.

Stuart: Funny Brian Kelly bit!
Thanks!

DR Jane, if your back is hurting that much I would definitely give muscle relaxants another chance. I am very sensitive to everything, and they help big time. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist and see what they can give you.

DR DIT wrote:
What's to get ready for Yom Kippur?
Awhile back, around this time of year, I was at the offices of a large publishing company. One of the senior editors told me that he knew Yom Kippur was coming up. He understood that it was the biggest holiday of the year, and he had heard that the food is great on Jewish holidays. So, he concluded, "you must really eat well on Yom Kippur."
That's funny. Although we do eat pretty well on Saturday night.
Well, what's to get ready? Some people have to prepare meals - like me!
-
DR Stuart - FD Abie... (FD as in Faithful Dog - as opposed to DD which would confuse us with DearDaughter, who's no dog) ...thanks you for the compliment.
-
She of the Evil Eye will be here shortly (I had her come this week and then she'll be back on her once every two weeks sched) - last week she couldn't actually clean several rooms because there were over a hundred boxes strewn about, but now there are 0 count them 0 boxes strewn about (not that there aren't boxes I haven't gone through, but they're in the garage) so she can now clean those rooms, too.
-
It's quite pretty out this morning - people are walking their dogs. I have yet to meet any of my immediate neighbors, although I met a nice fellow walking his dog who lives a few houses north of me.

DR Ben,
Anthony has the nicest smile - in every picture.
-
We seem to have returned to the slowness we had yesterday morning. It's taken me quite a while to get here. I click and then just minimize and wait for the screen to load. Damn those pingers, damn them all to hell!
DIT. Thanks. I'll tell Anthony you said that.

I'm home today because I slept wrong (wrongly?) and my back hurts a bit.
So, in my CD player at work: nothing.
In my VCR: nothing...last night I watched everything that I taped last night while watching other things.
In my DVD player: "Party Monster: The Shockumentary." According to Netflix (where I got it) "This sometimes-gruesome-but-engrossing documentary, a 1998 Sundance Film Festival entry, traces the path that club-kid-gone-bad Michael Alig followed as he metamorphosed from being one of New York's most famous party promoters to a drug-addled murderer. Includes a prison interview with Alig.... I have the movie "Party Monster" with Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green and wanted to know what the real story is. The movie's pretty accurate...and it's scary what some people can do.
In my CD burner: this morning I taped a radio interview from St. Louis with Janis Siegel of The Manhattan Transfer! I also called in and was on the radio!! I got to talk with Janis!! Okay, it was only about 30 seconds, but still! After the interview with Janis, they had a segment on the touring company of Forbidden Broadway that was playing in town. So I'm going to cut out the commercials and put it on a CD. That's what in my CD burner!
-
Good Morning!
Ah, sleep. It was so nice to sleep - well, at least to get more than four hours of it last night. However, my "waking" this morning was a bit amusing in retrospect.
Around 6:00am, I started hearing someone's really loud radio. It was tuned to some morning shock jock - not Howard Stern but some L.A. person - ??. I just stayed in bed listening to this rant go on and on... and on (ah, a BABY reference). "Who has their radio turned up so loud?!?!?" Well... A few minutes go by, and a small light bulb goes off in my head. I walk down the hall to the bedroom - which is empty right now since they moved the major furniture yesterday - and, sure enough, there's a clock radio sitting there on the floor. The "alarm" had gone off. And since it was playing in an empty room, it had quite the "ambience" to it. So, I turn it off, and head back to the living where I'm sleeping - there's a nice air mattress on the floor. As soon as I get settled, I hear another alarm go off... "beep, beep, beep..." It was my travel alarm in my bag - It was still set from the other morning when I had to get up early. Ah....
Thankfully, I made it back to bed, and got a few more hours of sleep... After getting up - again - I watched some TV, organized some papers, checked some stuff on-line, made some phone calls, and now I'm here... And now I must get ready to head out for a bit...
But before I go...
-
DR Jane - I've had a few bouts with back pain over the past few years due to my sciatica... Give the muscle relaxers a try. I was put on a very mild - very mild - one a few years ago which helped a lot. And in conjunction with Advil or Aleve, it really did provide just the right amount of comfort without zonking me out. See if your doctor is willing to "stage" you in regards to muscle relaxers. Just have him start you on something very, very mild, and go from there. -Although, hopefully, like a lot of back pain episodes, it's just an "episode", and it may just go away on it's own in time.
*And just remember, if you do take larger doses of Advil or Aleve, be sure to have food in your stomach. Otherwise, you could end up dealing with other problems. -I was on prescription strength ibuprofen once - one pill was equivalent to four(!) of the OTC pills! Who knew?!?!?

Yom Kippur Musical/Lyric/Rhyme, first clue:
From the CD: "Reissue Supervised By BRUCE KIMMEL"
Second clue:
The not-so-brilliant lyrics were by someone who also wrote the lyrics for one of the shows on DR Stuart's list of contenders.
-
Well, it has to be Bob Merrill and Henry Sweet Henry.
-
DR Jane: Feel better soon!!
DR Panni: Optical zoom rather than digital zoom
-
CD Player here at work: The Big Voice: God or Merman? So I am particularly interested in DR Noel's impressions, if he managed to snare that ticket for tonight's show, that is. I have seen neither of Steve Schalchlin's shows, but I have been fascinated by him ever since he started posting his T-cell count back in the last century.
-
Well, it has to be Bob Merrill and Henry Sweet Henry.
It has to be, and it is. Congrats, BK.
Don Ameche, explaining to Louise Lasser why "It's been pillar to post, but never to bed":
".... Here we go again, meeting in funeral parlors and A&Ps ...
In the back of St. Pat's and St. Luke's
All those looks of disdain and rebukes
As I you were some tart and I was Jack the Ripper
And at Temple Emanu-El
I am certain that rabbi could tell
He was stuck with a couple of gentiles for Yom Kippur"
(I warned you.)

Hmmmmmm...I'm a bit sorry it wasn't from WATERLOGGED myself......
Can I openly and honestly state that I have never thought much of Mr. Merrill as a lyricist? Certainly he has some bright spots, but probably just as many clunkers. ("We travel single, oh." I mean, what IS that??) I've never thought much of his musical compositions either, I guess.
But thanks for the answer, finally. My mind had been racing, and though I do own HSH, I don't listen it to it often enough to have committed it to memory.
-
DR Jane, healing vibes for your back!!!!
There are some good meds for pulled muscles if that is what you have. When I hurt my shoulder at the gym the doctor gave me something that helped wonderfully. It didn't drug me up or anything, but it sure made my shoulder stop hurting!
-
I find Bob Merrill's work inconsistent. There are some songs I truly enjoy in HSH - particularly "In Some Little World," "Here I Am," and "I Wonder How It Is." But "To Be Artistic"? How could the man who wrote "Her Face," "Promise Me A Rose," and "The Music That Makes Me Dance" have come up with:
"Men kiss men when they're artistic
In admiration for a fellow man
But could you guess
What a bloody mess
If a Green Bay Packer kissed a Ram"
-
DR Panni: Optical zoom rather than digital zoom
DR Laura - Could you explain why? what? etc....
-
And, on the subject of Jewish holidays, there's also Meredith Willson, who rhymed
Tish'ab'Av
with
Here's Love
-
Here's Love, which I just listened to yesterday did not impress me greatly. It's fun to hear Janis Page again, but there isn't a lot there (IMHO). I'll go back and look for that rhyme now that you've mentioned DIT.

I like the wistfulness of "Do You Ever Go to Boston?" in HSH.
But, c'mon, DR DiT:
I know he's around
when the sky and the ground
start enringing
WHAT??
In my book, if the sky and the ground started enringing each other (or SOMETHING, at least!) you'd be in the eye of a cyclone! Now that may be a image of love for some, but not for me. (oooh, a Gershwin reference!) Some of his other lyrics in that score are....unfelicitious, at best.
Don't get me wrong.....I LOVE "The Music That Makes Me Dance." I just think the lyrics are not it best asset.
-
"Start in ringing", DR Stuart, "start in ringing"!!! It's a colloquial expression. Like "he started in cleaning the house" instead of "started cleaning the house."
-

In- or en-, I still say it's a lousy lyric.
Care to take on that whole "light of two eyes enfolding" stuff??

With ER coming on here on Thursdays at 10pm, and the Sopranos Sunday at 10pm, I was just about to post and ask what had happened to Nip/Tuck.
We don't get the F/X network, so I have to watch Nip/Tuck on CTV (that also shows the other 2 shows I mentioned).
Anyhow I'm not sure when you guys in the US get to see the last 3 episodes of N/T. But I just checked the CTV sched and it says: Thurs Sept 30th, Tues oct 5, and fri oct 8th (all at 10pm).
If anybody saw last week's show, was it the one with the incestuous kissing scene. How did I know that was going to happen? :)
-
Oh and while i was on the site I checked out the Canadian Idol section. For any of you who want to see our newest Canadian Idol. Or hear/see clips.

-
Bob Merrill - not a consistent talent, but his score to CARNIVAL is so charming and terrific. Probably my favorite of his works.
-
I remember William Reynolds from some ABC crime show - was it THE FBI?
-
DR Panni -- when you zoom in on your subject, optical zoom is clearer than digital zoom.
And the more megapixels, the better. And the more expensive. My camera is 5-megapixel.
-
Today finished up helping my friend pack his moving pod and also delivering a sleeper sofa he was giving away to a gal pal of his. The smile on my face from having this chore over with is VERY, VERY broad.
-
Yes, I agree about HERE's LOVE, Meredith Willson's most banal score.
-
Moving pod? Moving pod?
What the frell is a "moving pod"?
And speaking of "frelling" -- REJOICE "Farscape" fans, for the series returneth with "Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars" on SciFi in the very near future!
And other SciFi fans here -- those who watched the two "Stargate" shows (Jane, Keith, et al): Did we just have the shortest "season" ever? What? Were there five new shows and now we're in hiatus?
Perplexed I am.
Fortunately, though, the BM gods have been kind!
-
Thank you for the zoom and pixel info, DRL.
-
It is very important to have zoom and pixel information. One is simply not "with it" if one doesn't.

Car CD player: Babes in Arms, the release with Jason Graae looking very young and cute in his cast photo.
DVD Players: Der Brucer has stolen the copy of Murder on the Orient Express we just picked up, for playing on the DVD player in his room. I will have to content myself with the first season of Night Gallery, or one of the Hitchcock Signature collection, or the Darth Lucas versions of the Star Wars trilogy. (Enough to keep me busy for a while).
(This piling on of DVDs was a result of der Brucer having to get a Graphing Calculator, because DR Jenny (who is doing quite well) will be using one in her math classes this year and der B is trying to keep up with her, just so she'll have someone with whom to discuss her homework. While he was getting the calculator, I browsed the DVD shelves, and one thing led to another and another and another...)

Perplexed I am.
SciFi Channel splits the seasons of it's shows into smaller parts, I think in order to keep the material fresh and to keep from competing too heavily with the broadcast networks. Fresh shows in the summer, fresh shows in the winter. (Or you can collect them on DVD.)

CD: Tonight, Not Again- Jason Mraz Live
DVD: Call Me Madam
VCR: Seussical from its Boston run
I was supposed to direct a production of Seussical that started read-thrus on Sunday. MTI emailed today to cancel the production because of a tour. I feel like crap.

Don't feel like crap. It's not your fault, nor the fault of your cast.
Question: When MTI pulls this kind of cancellation, do they at least try to help find a different show to produce? Or would that be asking too much?

They didn't for me. I'm looking at Oliver or Once On This Island. I dunno...

SciFi Channel splits the seasons of it's shows into smaller parts, I think in order to keep the material fresh and to keep from competing too heavily with the broadcast networks. Fresh shows in the summer, fresh shows in the winter. (Or you can collect them on DVD.)
Hmmm. I've been watching SciFi Channel religiously for 11 years. It has always been my experience that they've aired complete seasons (i.e, 18-22 shows) before announcing the "end" of a season.
"Stargate SG1" and "Stargate Atlantis" debuted last month. And now they've been announced as having come to the end of their season. I don't believe more than five episodes of either show aired.
In all the years "Stargate" has been on SciFi, they've shown a complete season (at least 18-20 episodes) before announcing the "end" of the season. This was also true of all series, including "FarScape" and "The Outer Limits".
Unless of course I've been sucked into some space-time continuum where things are done differently....
-
The healing vibes must be working, even those that came in (Panni) last night. I was better this morning, but now am back on the ice pack.
Matt H I thought JOEY had a few good moments. Before those moments we almost turned it off. I found the return episode of ACCORDING TO JIM the other night hysterical.
My father, the doctor, didn’t believe in fasting for health reason. Lucky me.
Joey peaches looks like a sweetie.
Jay thanks for the tip but Advil upsets my stomach, like most things do.
Panni I should find the photos of Echo dressed in Craig’s clothes. Abie’s neckwear is much cuter.
Bruce you didn’t say what brand of cereal. I only eat Kellogg’s Raisin Bran.
-
Apropos of absolutely nothing:
Is anything better than a great BM?
LOL. That only means one thing to me now that we have to keep a journal on Bogie's movements.
-
Divarobbie: Your situation is exactly how we begin What If - talking about the THREE plays we were going to do, each of which pulled the rights from us after having granted them. That is why What If came into being.
-
Moving pod? Moving pod?
What the frell is a "moving pod"?
And speaking of "frelling" -- REJOICE "Farscape" fans, for the series returneth with "Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars" on SciFi in the very near future!
And other SciFi fans here -- those who watched the two "Stargate" shows (Jane, Keith, et al): Did we just have the shortest "season" ever? What? Were there five new shows and now we're in hiatus?
Perplexed I am.
Fortunately, though, the BM gods have been kind!
??? We sure did.
Are you finished with therapy yet? I was thinking about you when I was relieved I had changed the kitty litters before hurting my back.
-
DiT, you bet. Poor boy, so far that new journal is still empty. The doctor just called and said he must go see her now. I feel like crying my back hurts too much to drive. Thank goodness Keith said he will drive us.
-
Jennifer& Jose I guess I will ask about muscle relaxers. My reaction years ago was rather traumatic and I have avoided them ever since. It was years ago and they should have improved by now. I do have one valium I was thinking of using. If all of me is relaxed wouldn’t my muscles as well?
MBarnum and others, so what drugs did work for you?
Thank you DRLaura.
Panni I will email you some info on our camera.
DRLaura, we only have 4 mega pixels.
-
DIVAROBBIE - I thought of exactly the same thing WHAT IF!
You've named a couple of good shows - but if it hasn't been done, or you haven't done it - please look at ONCE UPON A MATTRESS! It's a challenge to direct and it is so DARN funny! And lots of people have lots to do!
-
My camera only has 2.1 million megapixels, but it does what I need it to do.
-
DRJAY are you going to be able to photograph Miss Allison's house sometime? DRJOSE never travels that way, it seems.
Good vibes for the final two WI performances. It is so strange after all these weeks of rehearsal and performance to be HOME on Friday evening!
-
DRMBARNUM what did Barbara say to William?
Guess what? I watched Teersri Manzil! What a wild ride! I love all the dances and the music of course. And yes there was the Gumnaam girl there in all her glory! Whew!
-
DR RLP, I thought I described the pod the other day when I first mentioned it. It's an 8' X 16' storage unit that is delivered to your home. You fill it full for moving, and then the company comes and takes it to the storage facility in the city closest to where you live. You pay regular storage rates until you're ready to have it delivered to where you're finally moving (house-wise). Can't tell you more than than. It was a new concept for me, too, but seems like a wonderful idea.
-
I've just seen about 15 minutes of LOST IN LA MANCHA. The phone kept ringing, so I turned the DVD off and jumped on the internet. I'll return to it in an hour or so.
-
Page Four Dance! ;D
-
DVD - Criterion release of MAURICE with lots of extras and a great widescreen presentation - enhanced for those of you who need it.
CD - David Pascucci sings Previn, Valley of the Dolls & Inside Daisy Clover. Well - less than thirty minutes of music, and NOT a good album, but nice to have some of the songs. Steven Applegate (producer, arranger, orchestrator, and conductor - and I guess he also made the coffee) uses some electronic gimmick at the end of each song wherein David is singing with himself or against himself...anyway it doesn't work...so I can't recommend the album or the singer. But it's mine now, I own it!
VCR - HOW TO STUFF A WILD BIKINI!
-
DRJAY are you going to be able to photograph Miss Allison's house sometime?
I shall, Dear Reader JRand54, but it will have to be an old fashioned photograph, as I own neither a digital camera nor a camera/phone combination device.
-
Divarobbie - sorry to hear about your situation. But as bk and others said - sometimes good things can come out of seemingly &#@-y things. I hope they will for you.

***MORE HEALING VIBES TO DR JANE***
-
Now with all the new computer DSL stuff set up, I've been listening to a great radio station out of the Cincinnati area called wmkv (www.wmkvfm.org). That plays great big band and standards with very little commercial interruption. They do occasionally have some programs for retirees that interrupt regular programming, but they never last very long. Right now they're playing SHOW BOAT...I didn't catch which version though.
I've also been listening to BBC4 and BBC7...My Music, Boothby Graffoe, The 99p Challenge, Just A Minute...
DVDs...McCabe & Mrs. Miller, Open Range, SCTV, Animal House and all its various extras...still the best slob comedy ever.
-
And don't forget, dear reader Pogue, our very own radio show right here at haineshisway.com, hosted by our very own wonderful Mr. Donald Feltham.

Good Afternoon!
Whew! I ended up doing a bit more trekking today than I thought I would, but, in turn, I ended up getting a lot done. Of course, most of it was shopping, but now I have souvenirs and gifts for my family - especially for my nieces and nephews. -My niece, Alyssa turned two yesterday, and I'll be home in time on Sunday to attend her birthday party! :) And I picked up some Filipino Greatest Hits type CDs for my parents. Oh, and a box or two of See's Candies at the Beverly Center. *DR Panni, the guy at the counter said he had some more free samples for you! ;) -And what a "monstrosity" that Beverly Center is... It took me a while to figure out how to get out of there without ending up in the Macy's Men's Store again.
Now, I'm just waiting for my brother to come by, and we'll be heading to dinner before the show.
-
I remember William Reynolds from some ABC crime show - was it THE FBI?
That is correct Matth! Good memory..he also starred in the TV series THE GALLANT MEN, PETE KELLY'S BLUES, and THE ISLANDERS.
-
DRJAY are you going to be able to photograph Miss Allison's house sometime? DRJOSE never travels that way, it seems.
Good vibes for the final two WI performances. It is so strange after all these weeks of rehearsal and performance to be HOME on Friday evening!
Ummm... <cough, cough>... We shall see... Keep your fingers crossed... ;D
And thanks for the Good Vibes... And I'm looking forward to being home next week too. However, I'll be subbing in for Mamma Mia! again, so... And then I have The Producers the week after that, so... But since I'm just subbing in, I'll have most of my evenings free - I'm mainly covering the weekend matinees for each show. And then it looks like I'll be on the road again for a few weeks... Stay tuned!
-
Dr Jayrand54, glad that you enjoyed TEESRI MANZIL! Fun movie...very colorful too!
William Reynold's didn't say exactly what it was the Babs said to him...she just indicated that she was not pleased that he was late on the set (although he thought he had a very good excuse at the time) and that a professional actor is never late (he was all of 22 at the time, I think).
-
Thanks, Jose - I may get some samples after I feed Abie.
-
I'm on my way to the theater. Keep the home fries burning, you hear?
-
I'm looking at a couple of other shows that I can roll this cast over into. Kinda difficult, since there were a number of kids in the cast... But we'll see.
BK, I ordered Kritzerland last night. Can't wait for it!
-

Craig did that when he lived in San Francisco. It worked very well when he was between apartments.
-
I'm off to do a few errands - may drop in for a Sees sample. I'll see how the spirit moves me.
-
Panni thanks and enjoy your See’s samples. :)
Divarobbie I’m sorry your show was cancelled and best of vibes finding a new one. It is nice you are also concerned about the cast.
Bogie was given fluids and we were told to give him flavorless, sugarless Metamucil. All we could find was regular which we purchased. We hope it is the same as flavorless. If nothing happens tonight Bogie will have to return to the doctor tomorrow.
I also got a prescription for Robaxin, but the pharmacy gave me the generic methocarbamol. I looked up the side effects and am now afraid to take it. I will try the lowest dose tonight.
-
No one to talk to. :( Guess I will say goodnight for the evening-I was dishes to be washed and pets who want to cuddle. :)
-
Without taking the muscle relaxant I'm feeling a bit better. Thanks for all your good wishes. Maybe tomorrow will be a good day.
-
Hi Jane! I've been in and out of my house this afternoon and finally I'm home to stay (for the evening).
-
I stayed home from work because my back hurt (a little) when I woke up. I have a whole bunch of sick leave (about 900 hours), so I decided to use some of it. I know it's nothing like you've been suffering, Jane. I really do wish you the Best Healing Vibes!!
-
Enjoyed LOST IN LA MANCHA. I'm sure we've all experienced situations where one bad thing after another happened until something was just canceled. Reminds me of DR divarobbie's situation somewhat.
Sorry to say tonight's MEDICAL INVESTIGATION revealed the show as a second tier drama. The medical mystery portions of the show are as good as any, but the characters are straight out of drama 101: newbie doctor doing the wrong thing that ends up harming a child (he thought he was doing a good deed, natch!), doctors stumbling onto the source of the problem.
-
Tomorrow night I'm attending a local production of YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN. This is one of the shows I auditioned for some weeks ago and didn't get it. It's the revised version of the show which I've never seen, so I'm anxious to see how the people who were cast do with the material and to see the new portions of the book which were added to that last Broadway revival..
-
I just noticed that I've posted over 2000 posts! I never even paid attention to that! Just had to share. :D
-
just a quick post to keep those home fries burning. Burn baby, burn!
-
Hmmmmmmm......DRJAY a regular photograph would be lovely. I have photos of her homes in Washington DC and San Clemente in a nice frame and I could add a few of the North Orange Grove Av bungalow to them.
I would be happy to pay for film and processing.....but not the trespassing ticket you get if they wonder what you are doing. They might not even be aware that they are living in the home of a BIG (in fact a 50-foot tall celebrity!) - and that knowledge I am sure would fascinate them!
-
So the cast of Seussical rolled into another show....and haven't we just recently seen the cast of said show from another production...in fact one right here in Indiana! Hmmmmmmmmm.....what a lot of faces....
There is always THE MUSIC MAN with all the townskids -
-
I am heading toward 5000 and I am glad to see DRCHARLESPOGUE back at HHW - I am guessing his computer problem was solved.
Hmmmmmmmmmm....there is something I must scan for his perusal.
This would be a good evening to do it!
And so I shall.
Back in a bit with a surprise!
-
Aha! ;D
Instead of a dance to celebrate our new page......to celebrate Mr Charles Pogue's return....here is a poster....for a movie that I never got to see....but I was fascinated and intrigued as a 10 year old by the ads!
This may put us slightly into CinemaScope....
A friend of Mr CP's and a fellow Thespian Miss June Wilkinson:
-
Sigh - I bet it opened BIG the first weekend!
-
Shall I post about the poster?
-
"June is bustin' out all over..." What's not to love? ...Wonder if there was German money involved?
-
Sad to be all alone in the world...
-
Mary Kay Letourneau (sp?) is on 20/20 right now. It's also Barbara Walters' last 20/20 ever.
-
She's (MKL) is from Washington State. That's the only reason that I mention it. :-\
-
DRPANNI judging by the credits - I would say JA to the German money question.
-
Those 20/20 interviews are so strangely edited....I haven't watched one for years....
I do remember when Barbara jumped from NBC to ABC for One Million Dollars a year....whew that was quite the story!
-
Remember she co-anchored the ABC Evening News with Harry Reasoner and he hated her!
-
This Mary Kay story is so bizarre... She thought she'd have to do "community service" for having sex with her 12-year-old student!
-
Almost past the ATL mark...
-
Just a few more and we can rest easy. No community service for us...
-
I'm so tired tonight. Was supposed to finish reading a book, but I can't keep my eyes open.
-
Speaking of the title of today's notes....
all those many years ago when we rushed to see BYE BYE BIRDIE! at the drive in....and they sang that song
At the end Birdie (Jesse Pearson) sang what we was sure was a BAD word never heard on the screen....we listened closely, bought the record...and thought HE SAID IT!!!
He sings: "Let's kick this hick town into High!"
But we were sure he sang the "s" word and NOT "hick".....whew!
-
Oh....divarobbie....Bye Bye Birdie is fun!
What's the story, morning glory?
What's the word, hummingbird?
-
I ordered THAT FUNNY FEELING, IF A MAN ANSWERS, and COME SEPTEMBER on DVD today.
Why do I feel as though I should be singing Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee?
-
Good Evening!
Back from the show... And a very good show it was tonight! We were technically Sold Out, but once the lights came up, I did notice a couple of empty seats. Ah, well... We had a very good audience, and even had some "repeaters" in the audience - meaning, this was their second time seeing the show.
DR Pogue was their with his DW Julieanne.
DR PennyO even ended up showing up tonight! *I feel a little bad for not being able to spend more time with her after the show... But it was great finally getting to meet her even if it was just for a few moments. We'll have to get together in NYC, DR PennyO!
My brother, Jay, had a wonderful time. And he even got most of the "in" jokes. -I'll have to thank my Mom for dragging all four boys to the theatre every now and then when we were kids. It was also nice catching up with my brother too. His move down to San Diego seems to be agreeing with him, and it turns out he is now making a lot more money in his job, and he actually works less than he did before. Score! It also turned out that his new boss is a former grade school/high school classmate and family friend. We had a nice dinner before the show, and we even checked out the West Hollywood Target just for kicks since we had some time before heading to the theatre. He had to head back right after the show since he has to be at work tomorrow at 7:00am(!), but with the way he drives, he'll probably be back in San Diego in about two hours(!!!!). -He was estimating it would take him about an hour and 45 minutes... and since I did the drive with last year, he'll probably make that time.
Another professional colleague of mine also came tonight. Barbara was/is the show director for Universal Studios, and I met her last year when I was here. She's also a producer (Rent, Avenue Q, among others) - and she's helped me get house seats from time to time for shows in NYC. :) We have a bunch of mutual friends, and we'll be lunching tomorrow at Chin-Chin to talk the talk and dish the dirt. I can't wait! Oh, and she loved the show! And she also brought her friend, Kirby Tepper - who happens to know BK!.
So, all in all, a very good day, and a very nice evening. I was actually a little worried right before the show began when I heard that the show was sold out. I wanted to make sure my brother could get in. -Thank You, No-Shows! I also started feeling a little funny stomach-wise, but it all settled down by the time I stepped out on stage. Whew!
And as I get ready for my last full day in L.A... And my last performance of What If? (at least for this run, fingers-crossed)...
Did you get some See's, DR Panni?
-
OMG - I now have a NEW favorite name:
Kirby Tepper!
-
I'm a Tepper, he's a Tepper, wouldn't you like to be a Tepper, too?
-
DR DivaRobbie - MTI licenses a very nice "alternate" version of ONCE ON THIS ISLAND. There are options for expanding the cast, and also for making the subject a bit more universal, so to speak. There's actually some nice variations in it.
I did the show a few years ago with a Teen Summer Theatre Camp that was open to "regular" kids as well as those with special needs (physical and mental). Our Ti Moune was deaf. And her signing was absolutely beautiful and moving. -And this "device" also allowed us to cast a "singing Ti Moune". Consequently, the whole social class issue became one of the hearing world vs. the non-hearing world. There was never a dry eye in the house.
-
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.....did I tell you my car battery died?
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.....so I will have to spend my lovely Saturday morning, buying a battery, schlepping it to where my car died....installing it....and getting back home.....
-
DR JRand54 - Just in case you might have missed my subtle hint earlier... On my way back from Chin-Chin tomorrow - or maybe even on my way there - I will have my camera in my bag, so...
:)
-
DRJOSE is so right!
I have found that signing a song (if not most of them) adds a new element to a scene or show that is difficult to describe.....it's a feeling that something new is happening.....you are "hearing" the song for the first time, no matter how many times you have listened to it.
"Seeing" a song is a VERY emotional experience!
-
Did you get some See's, DR Panni?
I didn't get any See's, Jose. Didn't feel like going to the mall.
BTW - I'll be at the show tomorrow for the final performance of this run -- couldn't miss that!
-
OH NO DRJOSE, I didn't miss the hint...LOL....
But if circumstances are not right - DRJAY has volunteered to take the photo!
After all it is your LAST FULL DAY in LA...whew! What a great time it has been for you and Mr BK and for all of us - even if we were only there via the WWW!!!
-
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.....did I tell you my car battery died?
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.....so I will have to spend my lovely Saturday morning, buying a battery, schlepping it to where my car died....installing it....and getting back home.....
AAA?
*It is dead-dead? Or is there enough juice in it to get it jump-started so you can drive your car to the shop? You may want to try it again in the morning. I've had two car batteries die in the summer, and the heat contributes to it's demise. However, if you're able to get to the battery before the temperature of the day heats up, then you may be able to jump it. Now, if you're battery is bulging, then it's probably best to let it be.
-
Take your camera DRPANNI and get all the last night drama! I don't think I have seen any photos of DRJOSE at the theater!!
-
LOL AAA came out to jump it.....didn't work....and his little device read "REPLACE" - so that is what I will do, I guess.
And here I will use sign language to say something not fit for a family site.
-
Take your camera DRPANNI and get all the last night drama! I don't think I have seen any photos of DRJOSE at the theater!!
I'll do my best to be the on location reporter. Sometimes the phone camera is not the greatest.
-
Hi, PennyO - Too bad I missed you by one night. How did you enjoy the show?
-
I didn't get any See's, Jose. Didn't feel like going to the mall.
BTW - I'll be at the show tomorrow for the final performance of this run -- couldn't miss that!
Oh, I keep meaning to ask, which mall do you go to? -Just curious.
And make sure your name is on "The List" for tomorrow night - unless you've already bought a ticket. Even though we're apparently not sold out tomorrow, I have a feeling we'll be pretty full, if not just plain sold out.
-
I just noticed that I've posted over 2000 posts! I never even paid attention to that! Just had to share. :D
Oh please. Sincerity is sooooo hard to fake, Dear Reader George.
:o
-
Yea, but once you can fake it - you've got it made, baby!
-
WOW! I just looked at the clock, it's still relatively early!
Hmmm.. Maybe it's time for some ice cream!
-
hiya, gang!!
Oh, my, I saw such a wonderful funny show tonight! What If is one of the funniest happiest best shows I ever saw! And I will dream of Jose Piano Man for a LONG LONG time! Believe me, if I'm gonna sing in front of folks, I want an accompanist like our Jose. Honeyboy, if I do my show off-B'way this spring, will ya please play for me???
The cast was uniformly terrific, great ensemble work, wonderful choreography. Alet has one of the best voices I've ever heard. The Kimmel original songs are so welcome in there among the parodies, and Charles and I just floated out of there. Nothing like huge laughs to get yer endorphins zipping around. Thanks, Bruce, for such a lovely evening.
Okay, tired, gonna go to bed now. Visions of wackiness rampant in my dream-zone. Hahahahahahaaaaa!!!
-
Ice Cream?
I was thinking about having a hot dog.
Maybe I should have both.
-
Oh, I keep meaning to ask, which mall do you go to? -Just curious.
And make sure your name is on "The List" for tomorrow night
I got to the Westfield Mall in Sherman Oaks (formerly Fashion Square), just a few minutes from the home environment.
My name is on "The List" (not of Adrian Messenger)...
-
Another job offer, DRJOSE!
-
DRPANNI have you ever seen The Bellboy and the Playgirl?
-
How would that title be translated into Hungarian?
-
DRJOSE is so right!
I have found that signing a song (if not most of them) adds a new element to a scene or show that is difficult to describe.....it's a feeling that something new is happening.....you are "hearing" the song for the first time, no matter how many times you have listened to it.
"Seeing" a song is a VERY emotional experience!
I saw the Deaf West Theatre production of Big River here in L.A. before it went to Broadway, and I have to agree. I thought the signing was balletic, and added a whole new layer of interpretation to the score.
-
DRPANNI have you ever seen The Bellboy and the Playgirl?
Is that by Arthur Miller?.... No, that's Death of a Salesman... I always get them confused.
'Fraid I haven't seen it, Jrand.
-
I am eating an ice cream sandwich.
Today at the vet we found out that Holly the Zaftig ShaR-Pei has lost ONE pound.
And the vet gave me his copy of September's DOG FANCY magazine that has a Shar-Pei on the cover and many lovely photos inside. They are lovely dogs....with some health problems.....but I don't know if I could own another breed now. The blue/grey Shar-Peis are beautiful....the cream coloreds are also lovely. Holly is fawn/carmel with black tipped ears....
Hehehehe. And of course they all have the regulation BLACK tongue...LOL.
-
How would that title be translated into Hungarian?
I don't know anything "naughty" in Hungarian. When I was a young actress (in my early 20's) a veteran Hungarian actor with whom I was in a play decided that it was his mission in life to teach me all the dirty Hungarian words I'd missed out on. He did his best, but as I never used them before, after or since, they came in one ear and out the other - so to speak.
Maybe signing is the answer...
-
[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%][size=8]Honeyboy?!?![/size][/move]
-
I can understand your mixing them up, DRPANNI....I think the plots were about the same!
DRJAY....the first time I used sign language in a show was in a production of SNOOPY!!! when I had the little boy who played Woodstock sign the last song....can't think of its title...."If just one person......" ...you know the song I mean.... The cast sang it and he stood on top of the doghouse and did the signs.....sweet!
-
Technical term PennyO picked up in the theatrical profession, no doubt.
-
Oh please. Sincerity is sooooo hard to fake, Dear Reader George.
:o
Truly, DR Jay, I did not notice the number until I posted that I noticed it!! Not that I'm bragging or anything, but...are you jealous or just green with envy ? ? ;D
-
I haven't heard from bk, but I'm guessing with post-theater supping and whatnot, the Notes may go up late tonight. Not the Official Word, mind you, just an educated guess.
-
hiya, gang!!
Oh, my, I saw such a wonderful funny show tonight! What If is one of the funniest happiest best shows I ever saw! And I will dream of Jose Piano Man for a LONG LONG time! Believe me, if I'm gonna sing in front of folks, I want an accompanist like our Jose. Honeyboy, if I do my show off-B'way this spring, will ya please play for me???
Aw shucks... <blush> *Too bad there's no blushing smiley here... Ah, well.. In any case...
Thank You, DR PennyO, for such a wonderful compliment. Thank You.
Right now, I have a hole in my schedule starting in March... That's Spring time, right? ;)
-
It's nice to see the late night denizens back!
-
Hey...maybe AFTER the show we people here in the hinterlands could be treated to a photo of the set!
-
Okay....hmmmmmmmm.....I have all these movie poster books...and all this junk here at my house.
Does anyone want to see a picture of anything in particular?
-
Or how about a front page from the day you were born?
Might take me a bit to print and scan, but first person to give me his birthdate will get a newspaper front page from that date....
GO!
-
[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%][size=8]Honeyboy?!?![/size][/move][/color]
Well, actually, I believe that "Honeyboy" is the English translation of "Simbulan", my last name.
:P
;)
-
Just keep saying that, honey, just keep saying that.
-
Did you know that one of my direct ancestors was King Henry XI?
-
All this talk of posting numbers made me take a look. Just 90 posts between us Jrand. I'm catching up - watch out!
-
MBARNUM I did yours already! Remember?
-
Who is that dogging my heels?
-
Last call for newspapers!
-
if nobody wants one, I am going to scan another Allison picture!
-

Or how about a front page from the day you were born?
Might take me a bit to print and scan, but first person to give me his birthdate will get a newspaper front page from that date....
GO!
You think I'd fall for that cheap trick to reveal my age?! I wasn't born yesterday, my friend. (That's for SURE.) This baby is 39 and holding.
-
Hmm... Ice Cream! Banana Split flavor - it's one of those boxed pints from Walgreen's - which is just around the corner. Not bad for drug store brand ice cream. Banana ice cream with mixed fruit and a fudge swirl.
Now, if I wanted a hot dog... The busses continue to run up and down La Brea every 15 minutes during the overnight hours... And since Pink's is open until 3:00AM... Hmm...
-It's a thought, but I'm in for the evening. Besides, I think I'm still full from the two chili-cheese dogs I had the other day. :X
-
Okay Hang On, Jay....coming up in a couple of minutes.
LOL DRPANNI!
-
Boy - Suddenly Seymour - and PAGE SEVEN. We're really moving along.
-
Grrrr....very slow tonight....but it will get here.
-
What?!?!? No posts in ten minutes?!?!?
SKAMMEN!
-
GRRRRRRRRRRR it's not working tonight. Damn damn damn damn damn.
High speed internet my aunt fanny!
-
-Oh, after watching the weather on the news earlier, I'm glad I'm flying home Sunday morning, rather than on Monday like I was originally planning... It seems Jeanne may be interfering with flight plans along the eastern seaboard Monday-Wednesday...
-
I think I can now officially say the Notes will go up late.
-
IMHO Sunday is always a better day to fly, Jose. Not as much traffic to and from the airport, for one thing.
-
Hey, if we say a few more wildly interesting things, we'll hit 200.
-
Thank you, Panni for that official report! However, I must say good night now:
Good night, All!!
-
Good night, George.

Hmmm...Something Int'resting (almost a Rodgers and Hammerstein reference)
-
I have nothing interesting at all to add. I'm too tired to think. Is that a crime (a Bells Are Ringing reference).

-And, as I mentioned earlier, I'll be home in time for my niece, Alyssa's, birthday party. *And I bought her a doll earlier at the Filipino store - it's kind of like a Barbie, but she's dressed in traditional Filipino garb. It's actually quite beautiful -Most likely, it will stay in the box, and put on display. However, I also bought some children's book which are both in Tagalog and English so that the grandparents can read to her. :)

200...oops (spoo spelled backwards) 201. ::)
-
No crime. But yes TWO HUNDRED. Hoo and Ray!
-
200...oops (spoo spelled backwards) 201. ::)

Or...TWO HUNDRED AND THREE.
Okay - make that TWO HUNDRED AND FIVE! :P

That's sweet of you, but I shan't be seeing it 'til morning, as I have a date with Mr. Sandman right now.
Sweet dreams, Dear Late Night Denizens.

Sweet Dreams, DR Jay.

DR Panni - Did you get the "official" call, or did you just make the "official" call?

DR Panni - Did you get the "official" call, or did you just make the "official" call?
I at first made the "official call"... But as you see by the above post, I just got the "official call."

Looks like it's down to the last of the late night denizens. Time to brush my teeth and snuggle in with Abie and a book.
-
I have just finished reading about Shar-Peis.....
-
Oh I don't think I can last until the notes go up....
-
No...my battery is dead as well.......

Hmmm... I'm a bit tuckered out myself... I shall read the new notes in the morning.
Goodnight.
