Question for Ask BK Day

You say that you've watched some irritating videos.  Except for automatic playlists, I've always felt that YouTube gives me a choice of what to click on, and makes it easy to click away as soon as I decide.

Is it different for you, or are these irritating videos you mention videos that you've clicked on in a bait-and-switch, or some other reason you've clicked on them?

Also starring as her daughter in law was Muse Margaret Willock.  ;D

There she was in a scene with Lee Grant and the guy who played her husband....she was very good.

Did she just decide she didn't want television career and moved on?  She was very good.  8)

DR elmore3003, the first Shakespeare play I ever saw live was King John. It's what happened to be showing at Stratford Festival when we took a field trip there in English class. Despite that introduction I still love Shakespeare!

Aroubd 1:15, Joshie brought me eight numbers from High Spirits. I explained my printer mess, and he spent maybe 30 minutes housecleaning, replacing a power strip older than God, replugging and weeding the mess of cords and wires under my computer table, and Im hopefully back in business.

The Stratford in Ontario, that is, not the one in England.  :)

I was once cast in a dreadful production of King John, and I still love a lot of the plays. Eventually, because of length, my scene was cut, and I was delighted.

There was for years in Stratford, Connecticut, a summer Shakespeare Festival.

Had an email from City Wok. How they got my email is anyone's guess. Anyway, he explained that the new cardboard packaging is due to not being able to use the plastic ones anymore. Not sure how true that is or if other jernts just haven't implemented it, but mac and cheese arrived in plastic container, everything from Maria's Kitchen arrives in plastic container, etc. He assured me portions are measured out exactly - all I know is how many servings I usually do as compared to the last thing, which was one less. He was sorry the delivery took so long and offered me a gift card, which I'll probably pick up next Monday. I understand it's easy to get my phone number because the driver's have it - and, of course, Grubhub or DoorDash or Postmates have my email address but not sure why they'd give it out.

The hazard pay should go to the women. This particular child behaves when there are men around. If he gets upset around women, he gets physically aggressive. Yesterday, he struck the teacher I was helping out. Today, he hurt a woman sub, who had just started subbing again. I don’t know if she’ll continue with special ed after the first of the year.

Oh, my, John! They shouldn't even assign women to that class. For their safety.

They should probably have someone specifically assigned to him. And yet when I was in the class with him, he behaved. He picked out a movie and watched it quietly.

I took as much Shakespeare as I could in undergrad. I’ve seen many staged, and I’ve read many for fun. But I’ve never been moved to attempt King John.

I only watched it during the pandemic when I watched all the Shakespeare plays I hadn’t seen before. Troilus and Cressida, The Two Noble Kinsmen and Henry VIII were also on that list.

Watching The Great Escaper, which features Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson. They’re both marvelous despite their age. It was Jackson’s final performance.

Lesley Manville is a great storyteller. The ending anecdote about Judi Dench is a hoot.

The Great Escaper is four-hanky weeper. True story. Excellent performances. Highly recommended.

DR Rodzinski, do you ever watch the youtube channels of the folks who tell the stories of people and visit their graves?

Yes, there’s a lot of good content like this. I just learned from one of our own articles that Henry Ford used a mortsafe.

There’s an underrated, basically forgotten Caleb Deschanel film called The Escape Artist that I like, starring Ryan O’Neal’s boy.

Aroubd 1:15, Joshie brought me eight numbers from High Spirits. I explained my printer mess, and he spent maybe 30 minutes housecleaning, replacing a power strip older than God, replugging and weeding the mess of cords and wires under my computer table, and Im hopefully back in business.

Fantastic, Larry!

The Stratford in Ontario, that is, not the one in England.  :)

I was once cast in a dreadful production of King John, and I still love a lot of the plays. Eventually, because of length, my scene was cut, and I was delighted.

There was for years in Stratford, Connecticut, a summer Shakespeare Festival.
