BK, if you could make a documentary, what would the subject be?

Waiting for my BBQ to get here from Amazon so I can bit by bit, put it together. I have the gas already to go. I haven't had an outside BBQ for almost 6 years as the place I was in last time didn't allow them. I read and re-read my lease for this place and it specifically said "No charcoal BBQ's" so I think I'm ok. I was told when I moved in to just keep it covered - so I bought a cover as well.

Sounds nice, Matthew. What do like to grill?

Anything from steak to veggies.

I’ll be there tomorrow.

I hope it is easy to set up and you are pleased with it.

You've heard about frying eggs on the sidewalk? Well, now our friends in the Northwest have:

Good night, friends.

I don't think I want to eat mailbox lasagna. Maybe it's just me.

Listening to some Khachaturian. Fun. The bird likes it.

I also managed to get the first 60 pages of a Maigret novel read during a bath. I would say that they're like popcorn, but there's more substance to them than, say, the Cat Who ... novels, which really are popcorn. Not to denigrate them. I read 20 or so of those.

David Geffen has given $150 million to the Yale Drama School, which will allow the school to offer tuition for free. That's cool.

I'm tired. I think I'm going to bed.

Good night, all.

I might do a documentary about MY Los Angeles. Otherwise, so many have covered topics I'd have been interested in.

Finished with my viewing.

I started to set it up - it's not easy. I got almost half way through and ran out of light. I'll finish in the morning. Makes you appreciate IKEA!

Good luck Matthew! My condo complex doesn't allow "regular" barbecues within 10 feet of the wooden fences, and my back yard is about 16-feet square, which means I can't have a barbecue in my back yard because it would be no more than 8 feet from a wooden fence.

George · « **Reply #110 on:** June 30, 2021, 10:06:05 PM »

We can use the little propane grills that use only the small bottles, not the big tanks. So, no barbecues for me.

So, a couple of weeks ago, I bought this laserdisc release of Into the Woods:

George · « **Reply #113 on:** June 30, 2021, 10:55:27 PM »

Including shipping and tax, it cost me the princely sum of $7.66.

George · « **Reply #114 on:** June 30, 2021, 10:56:47 PM »

Coincidentally, I also bought a lot of seven laserdiscs that included THIS release of Into the Woods:

George · « **Reply #115 on:** June 30, 2021, 11:02:06 PM »

So, now I have two different releases, but the numbers are the same: the UPC code (014381828566) AND the product number (ID8285MB).

George · « **Reply #116 on:** June 30, 2021, 11:03:45 PM »

All of the text on the back is the same, but in a different font with slightly different pictures, and of course, the main image art on each jacket is different.

George · « **Reply #117 on:** June 30, 2021, 11:06:12 PM »

I just noticed that the essay on the back of the version of the first picture that I posted is credited to Garrett M. Lee, but that name is not anywhere on the back of the release with the green cover art.

George · « **Reply #118 on:** June 30, 2021, 11:06:22 PM »

Interesting. $:-\$
