Well, you've read the notes, the notes were MAD, and now it is time for you to post until the MAD cows come home, hopefully without MAD cow disease.
-
And the word of the day is: PIQUANCY!
-
Good morning, all!
-
BK, I'm sorry to read about the health setback.
-
I'm very sleepy this morning and I would love an excuse to go back to bed. YHesterday, by the time I finished putting away the Amazon Fresh order, chasing Stella down, and carting the garbage to the basement, it was nearly 1:00, and I was in no mood to get back to the orchestration work, So, hopefully, I will finish that first cue today.
-
TOD: My memory is that I was aware of off-Broadway's "The MAD Show" before ever having a copy of MAD Magazine, probably from numbers that were appearing on local TV shows, or when the actors in the show were interviewed.
Looking at the date for "The MAD Show" being 1966, that makes sense that I wouldn't have bought a copy of the magazine before I was six years old.
-
More and more health vibes for BK!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Monday.
And we get two (2) whole days of relief between these two heat and humidity hells.
-
Today I MUST bring the musical gear in and get it set back up. Then there are two errands to run, an ugly bill to pay, and I will finish scanning those slides.
-
Two insane crazy dreams through the night -- both on familiar themes, but always in new variations. It would take way too much effort (and ink) to find a way to describe either of them, so I'm afraid y'all will just have to go on being depraved on account of being deprived.
-
Notes distributed. Dispersed.
-
I had an older brother who loved MAD, and we had some great 1970s issues. I can recall the Grease movie parody, but we surely had some earlier ones.
We got the MAD board game when it came out, which was fun.
And several paperbacks like the advertising parody, MAD looks at MADison Ave. And Silly Answers to Stupid Questions by Al Jaffe.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
Things that go bump in the night.
-
Good morning to all
-
I never collected MAD except for holding on to maybe half a dozen favorite issues for a while in the 1970s, mostly because of favorite movie parodies. I also had a few of the paperbacks, probably Don Martin compilations because I always loved his stuff.

~~~CONTINUED ULTRA-STRENGTH HEALTH VIBES~~~ for BK!!!!!
-
Good morning, all.
-
I never bought a magazine as a kid. But I loved every copy of MAD I got my hands on. The Sound of Money was my favorite parody and I still love these lyrics:
DOUGH means cash for all of us
HooRAY for musicals like this
ME a star so big that by
FAR it really couldn't miss
SO insipid is the plot
LA dee dah, although we know
TEdious it is a lot
It will bring us back much
DOUGH, dough, dough, dough
-
~~~CONTINUED ULTRA-STRENGTH HEALTH VIBES~~~ for BK!!!!!
A double dose!
-
I remember in school (before a math class) sitting around and several kids reading MAD's LEAST HORIZON out loud, with the immortal
The world is a rhomboid
Without a circumference
And nobody knows what this simile means.
-
My first Mad magazine was by accident. I was with my grandfather and we stopped at a magazine store (Remember them?) That issue they were parodying the TV show Batman. Batman was on the cover and I was big fan of the show. I thought it was a Batman comic book.
Years later my cousin worked as one of the usual gang of idiots. He gifted me with the set of cd-Ron’s of every issue of Mad up to the time it was made. The was a lot of interactive features including the folding cover.
As a bonus they gave you a roll of Mad magazine toilet paper which I still have in the original packaging

Good morning to all
Hi Michael! Good to see you here.
-
When I did my "Book of More Money" parody, IIRC, I'd mentioned in the YouTube notes that the parody title was in tribute to "The Sound of Money."
Something at some point got somebody at the Scott Rudin office upset with me. From the timing of when my online parodies started getting really targeted, I've wondered if the title "Book of More Money" was the one - though the parody was actually celebrating how much money they were raking in.

Damn. Thinking about my day, I also have to schlep to Walmart to pick up a prescription, get the trash and recycling ready to take down to the road tonight (I skipped last week, so it has to be done today), and something else I remembered five minutes ago - whatever in the HELL it was. I'd best get moving on these things.

Thank you. I have a digital subscription to the Times but sometimes a few days go by when I don't keep up with at least the headlines (they are so wearying these days), and then I miss an occasional thing like this.
-
Oh. I know what it was. There's a reminder right there on my screen! I have to run a Time Machine backup. I don't do those automatically, just every few days when I feel like it's a good time. But I was lax for a while during the past few months, and I'm making an effort to get back into the habit like a good nun.
-
HA! Thanks for the photo DR FREDDIE!
-
Things are moving along. More rain predicted for today....we shall see.
-
My uncle had a MAD magazine when he was a teenager.
It had one of the fold up back covers that was very funny.
I bought it sometimes when I liked the cover. The movie parodies were my favorite!
The only thing I hated Hated HATED was Spy vs. Spy which I thought was stupid.
-
HA! Thanks for the photo DR FREDDIE!
Thank YOU! I wouldn't have thought to ask about it if you hadn't mentioned it.
-
DR Jrand74, funny that you should mention Spy vs. Spy. I honestly don't remember if I liked it all that miuch, or just read it dutifully, but I will say that it's one of the most memorable things I (and I think many people) think of when MAD Magazine is mentioned.
-
I just read the Wiki page on Don Martin, about whom I really knew nothing.
He had a bit of a rocky life in a few respects, and I didn't know about the eventual falling out with MAD publisher William Gaines. I only vaguely remember CRACKED, but I don't think I ever looked at it enough to know that he had contributed to it for several years after leaving MAD.
-
The Selfish Shellfish would be a great title for a children's book.
-
Dave Berg’s The Lighter Side was always fun.
I remember one where a dad was proudly outside in the driveway showing his son, “See this house? This car? This property? Someday this will all be…”
(Arrives at mailbox full of bills)
“Mine!”

I have never been able to get past that nightmare inducing face to have any desire to go near a MAD magazine.

I bought a couple of issues of CRACKED.....but I was really more interested in Famous Monsters of Filmland and Castle of Frankenstein.
-
Here!
-
Thanks for preserving that, Rodzinski!
-
I loved all those magazines - Cracked, Help, and Panic. The latter only lasted twelve issues, I think - I have a bound set of them still.
-
I also have an original Cracked cover from 1972 by John Severin, their main cover artist - it's a wonderful painting of The Godfather cast with the Cracked person in there.
-
Back from a quick trip to the mail place.
-
I think I'm feeling better today - but my neck is sore on the left now and has been for a few days.
-
Thinking about food now.
-
Cracked seemed a pale MAD imitation to me, but probably because that’s the one I knew first. Cracked.com on the other hand was a very good, funny website for a couple years before their style of listicles got stolen by every other website, and their quality died out.
-
Food ordered. Now I can relax and rest.
-
Congratulations, Freddie.
-
I spent an hour in the garden. Got work done, but I am dripping wet.
-
I am listening to a lengthy BBC radio production of David Copperfield. I’ve read it twice, but I have forgotten so much of the first third that I am enjoying being refreshed, even the ugly parts.

Good afternoon.

I am now writing the Children's Workshop story with all 39+ names.
-
I'm hitting a new large number today.
-
Food was okay.
-
Not great, just okay.
-
I feel pretty good and while voice is not at full strength, it's better than yesterday. The big thing today is gunk - again - gunk and more gunk. I just don't get the gunk.
-
Maybe AI wil help me understand it.
-
AI is invaluable - except when it gets things completely wrong and people post the wrong - THAT is the problem with Google and AI.
-
They now have these bot sites on Facebook - you've seen them - sites about LA or history or movies - they'll talk about a movie - it's all straight out of a google AI search. The other day there was a post from one of those bot sites about the swimmer. How good Frank and Eleanor Perry's script was. How great Frank Perry's direction was. How great Elmer Bernstein's score was. The only problems? Frank didn't write the screenplay, Eleanor did - solo. While Frank is the director of record, it's not exactly a secret that Sydney Pollack was brought in to completely reshoot the scene with Janice Rule - the original scene as directed by Perry featured not Miss Rule but Barbara Loden. Pollack also shot a couple of other brief things. The biggest oops? Elmer Bernstein's score, which doesn't work at all in the film because - wait for it - he never wrote a score for the film - the score is by Marvin Hamlisch, his first score.

Was just zoning out on the couch.
-
Now it's time to get off this damn page.
-
And achieve a new number.
-
Ready, set, go.
-
Got to do some fun sleuthing for ChasSmith.
-
Had to resend the book files this afternoon because I found out on Thursday they don't accept We Transfer anymore. So, my gal sent me a link to their own upload portal and I instantly sent them again. Unfortunately, she went home for the day.
-
She was out on Friday.
-
She was out today.
-
She has some health issues and I'm guessing she'll be out all week. So, she has the files but they never got to the guy who supervises them getting done. HE has a different link. He now has everything, but informed him strongly that I am not going to sit around for two weeks while everyone takes their sweet time, which is what's happened for the last two books. Prior to that, I was getting finished galleys and covers in two to three days.
-
I told him I cannot have stress about this at this point and at my age. Hopefully, he will get this done although he's not the one actually doing it - he just gets it to the design team, who's only job with my books is to insert the ISBN numbers on the already formatted copyright page, and then to assemble the dust jacket and the softcover spine and front and back cover. That's it.
-
Enter page five.
-
Now, get me off this damn page.
-
I hope someone will be around to capture the new number.
-
It's coming VERY soon now.
-
Nine more posts will do it, then I'll go watch a movie.
-
I REALLY don't want to get up at eight tomorrow, but it is what it is.
-
And I'll get back at eleven-thirty, then have to set-up everything for the stumble-through, and shower and get myself ready by two - when the two people who missed rehearsal on Saturday are coming to run their numbers.
-
Then I can rest and relax after the stumble-through and I can certainly sleep in on Wednesday, but have to be up by eleven-thirty to shave and shower and get myself in the right place for the show.
-
I thought I had the rest of the week to myself, but noooo, my rescheduled ophthalmologist appointment is on Friday and once I'm back from that I know I'm expected to attend an opening night, although I may not.
-
Okay, we're close.
-
Within spitting distance.
-
Any moment now.
-
And - alert the media because...
-
Drum roll - here it is!
-
Congratulations on the new millstone, BK!

Good night, friends.

And others.
-
DR JOHN G Donna M's story about her last day on Dark Shadows is most entertaining.
And what story would that be?
-
Starting a movie called One Life about a man who rescued Jewish children from the Nazis. Anthony Hopkins stars with Lena Olin, Helena Bonham Carter, Romola Garai and Jonathan Pryce. Based on a true story.
-
Finished with my viewing - maybe the oddest one-hour TV show ever.
-
One Life is a pretty wonderful tearjerker. The acting elevates it above a kind of made-for-TV feel.
-
Had some crackers. Haven't really eaten enough today, but it's too late to do anything about it, really.

She has some health issues and I'm guessing she'll be out all week. So, she has the files but they never got to the guy who supervises them getting done. HE has a different link.
