Nice.

Inundated with fruit flies. My 3 traps have worked over the last couple days. Population is dwindling.

Groan. Good news the polulation is dwindling.

Fly paper works too.

Wow. That doesn’t fit my image of Dorothy Parker. It’s missing the cocktail and cigarette.

LOL, yup.

Will there be a recipe for shoo fly paper pie in your new book, DR John G.?

Loved Patricia Routledge in "Keeping Up Appearances." I was also fortunate to see her in "The Solid Gold Cadillac" in London.

Lucky you.

Never hypothetically ask yourself if the person in front of you can go any slower.

Because the answer is: Yes.

Keith said Wordle was difficult today, and was surprised he got it in three.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #163 on:** October 03, 2025, 06:42:27 PM »

I was sure the painting was Olivia DeHavilland.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #164 on:** October 03, 2025, 06:43:59 PM »

I saw a dump scene on Broadway once, during La Bête.

singdaw · « **Reply #165 on:** October 03, 2025, 06:47:46 PM »

I've heard of "dump cake" recipes, but I think that's a bit different.

singdaw · « **Reply #166 on:** October 03, 2025, 06:50:10 PM »

At least, I hope so.

John G. · « **Reply #167 on:** October 03, 2025, 06:53:00 PM »

I watched the first half hour of 28 Years Later and fast forwarded to the last half hour. No. Just no.

singdaw · « **Reply #168 on:** October 03, 2025, 06:53:34 PM »

What a waist of time.

John G. · « **Reply #169 on:** October 03, 2025, 06:54:18 PM »

I made a dump cake once.

I wonder if one of BK's future books should be a collection of his One From Column A essays.

I've been thinking about it for years. A lot of work if I were to do it, but there are some really fun things in it.

bk · « **Reply #172 on:** October 03, 2025, 06:57:01 PM »

But the reality of it is that a lot of it ended up in various books.

singdaw · « **Reply #173 on:** October 03, 2025, 06:58:48 PM »

They were so fun and carefree and off-the-wall. Always laugh-out-loud funny.

Did anyone ever guess it was you before all was revealed?

singdaw · « **Reply #175 on:** October 03, 2025, 07:01:09 PM »

I had a slinky growing up. I remember getting it to walk down the stairs.

singdaw · « **Reply #176 on:** October 03, 2025, 07:01:48 PM »

But, unlike Purlie, I never got to Walk Him Up the Stairs.

We are approaching Rupert.
