Well, you've read the notes, the notes were true, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - is that a truism? Or a mooism?
-
Hmm... I think "yesterday" is still unlocked.
-
In any case....
Good Morning!
-
And the word of the day is: AGNOMEN!
-
Will we never get to page two?
-
For he made his home in dat fish's agnomen
-
Welcome five GUESTS. Who are you people?
-
I think it will be fairly close as to whether we shatter our one remaining record to shatter.
-
Really close. As close as two peas in a wicker basket in the middle of a cherry orchard.
-
Yesterday is locked
See the pretty countryside
-
Hmm... Well, I had planned to get an early start tomorrow... well, today... Hmm...
-
Yesterday is locked

Merrily we post along
Post along
-
And I've always wondered what the frell was Mr. Sondheim thinking when he wrote those 7/8 measures in the middle of all of that...
Through the country side.
Stay on the track.
Plenty of roads to try
Never look back
-Especially when you have a choreographer who can only count in multiples of two. ;)
-
Jose, do you remember your AGNOMEN?
-
I do.
-
Oh, and I guess that would make the basis for a good - I hope - Ask BK Day Question...
Is there a moment - a lyric/word, harmony, melodic turn, etc. - in a song that you absolutely adore that puzzles you?
-
We're opening doors, singing "Here We Are".
Jerry Herman only opened windows.
-
Jose, do you remember your AGNOMEN?
Yes, I do.
And I always make sure to send her a card every third Thursday in July.
-

Yes, and it's a great example of what you're talking about - In Johanna - the famous "off" or "blue" note that comes totally out of nowhere, makes no sense, and yet, somehow, works.
-
Now, as for my IGNOMEN... Well, that's a totally different basket of fruit.
-
Well, I must be up quite early to prepare for this little function I must attend at the Music Center. I know there will be many interesting and well-known folks there, but I think it will be fairly annoying and I don't plan to stay too long.
-
I always wondered why John Lennon wrote "ten summersets" in "For The Benefit Of Mr Kite".
-
Yes, and it's a great example of what you're talking about - In Johanna - the famous "off" or "blue" note that comes totally out of nowhere, makes no sense, and yet, somehow, works.
Satisfied enough to dream you...
Even now I'm at your window...
-
-And I'm still amazed that when Warner Bros. updated the Sweeney Todd vocal score, that they did not transpose "Johanna" nor the first part of "Epiphany" to the show keys (at least the ones in the rental parts). -And the Appendix of "The Beggar Woman's Lullaby" in no way resembles what it "really" is.
-
...And then then there's that missing measure in "On the Steps of the Palace" in the later printings of the vocal score for Into the Woods.
???
-
How could they just lose a measure??
-
Oh... As I'm looking at my vocal score for Sunday in the Park with George...
When you're rehearsing a show, is there any sort of ritual or process or tradition you follow once the show moves out the rehearsal hall and into the theatre?
For example...
-And I picked this up from a college professor of mine...
On the last day of rehearsal in the studio, I tear off a piece of the tape that was used to mark off the set on the floor, and I place it on my score. My professor - who was a director - would place a piece of the tape on his script.

BK, when you first mentioned that you had watched "Man of the Year," I thought you were talking about THIS (http://www.amazon.com/Man-Year-Fort-Atkinson/dp/1572524324/sr=1-8/qid=1172652247/ref=sr_1_8/102-7422810-3076119?ie=UTF8&s=dvd) movie! :o I never saw the Robin Williams movie, so it's not what first came to my mind. ::)
Plot Synopsis: Mockumentary look at Playgirl Magazine centerfold and 1992 Man of the Year, Dirk Shafer, who kept it a secret from the magazine that he is gay. Most of the film is a fictionalized retelling of Dirk's decision to send a photograph to Playgirl, his selection as a centerfold and then Man of the Year, his many TV interviews, his friend Vivian Paxton posing as his beard, and the pressures from his live-in lover to come out of the closet. Interspersed with this chronological narrative are a black and white look at an evening Dirk spends with Angela Lucassey, a woman from Reno who wins Playgirl's national contest to have a date with Dirk, and an interview with a stripper who tracks Dirk down.
Here's the cover:

-
How could they just lose a measure??
I dunno. But it's even marked as an edit. In the "original", it's as follows - the following are the measure number markings:
(The lyric during this section is "And I thought: Well, he cares-- This is more than just malice...)
14 15 To->17
However, in the "new" version, it's:
14 To->17
Now, I know that 16 was already edited out. But then 15 too? -Yes, it's basically a "vamp" bar, but still...
Wha' happen'd?

I had thought the same thing too.
Did they come out with an anniversary edition of it?

Now this is weird! I just mentioned a movie starring Dirk Shafer (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0787257/), whom I hadn't thought of in a couple of years, so I look him up on IMDb.com. Anyway, under the photos is a section, "Next US TV Airings:" and listed for this Thursday, March 1 is the episode of "Will & Grace" that he guest stars in! What a coinkydink! :D
-
And on that note (A#), I'm off to bed.
-
Good morning, fellow Dear Readers. Last night I let the wild kitties go back home. They were glad to get back. Today I have to disinfect the traps and get them back to the agency that lent them to us. Then I will work on church newsletters.
Don't I live an exciting life? I want my life to be as boring as possible.
-
And the good news is that I correctly picked the man out of the photo lineup.

Yesterday afternoon I was doing yardwork in the front yard when the Goldstein family next door came home from their day at work/preschool. The girls came over to say hello, and I got out a container of sidewalk chalk, and we drew chalk pictures on the driveway. It was fun to relax and play for a while.
-
Four-year-old Mae-Ling Goldstein is going to be quite a matchmaker when she grows up. She told me that her daddy needs to get married. She drew daddy and a heart, then she drew me next to the heart. She said I could marry her daddy. I told her that I was already married.
-
There. Those silly posts should help our total.

I'm up, actually I didn't sleep much at all last night. Lots of traffic noise here - but that's a good thing, it means no icy roads...

This is a Nanci Griffith song that used to really get to me. It still does sometimes
Goodnight To A Mother's Dream
Words & Music By Nanci Griffith
© 1994 Ponder Heart Music/Irving Music Inc. (BMI)
Flippin' bottle caps through the ring around the moon
All alone on a Saturday night with the stars in bloom
I am a vision of my mother's dream come true
Built this house out in the hills
All by my own will
I've got love enough for two
But it's just me and this old moon
Chorus:
And the sailors on the water
...They all want the captain's daughter
They want her beauty and her youth
To grace their bow out on the sea
Me, I'm getting older and I'm plain
As plain can be
Got a bank full of mother's dreams
Maybe mother just didn't see
That love would be the only thing
Her daughter would ever need
Bridge:
Oh, I am the heart not taken
The one thought not worth breakin'
I am the late blooming rose
With only her mother's dream to hold
On this less traveled road
Who really knows
...Maybe the hearts not taken
Are truly made of gold
I'm gonna flip one more bottle cap up at the moon
I've got an early call with so much work to do
But, when I go inside I'm gonna let my back door slam
Mother, to tell you the truth
I would trade your dream away
Just to hear some loved one say
I love you, too
(Repeat chorus)
Tag:
Say goodnight to the moon
I'll say I love you to the moon...
And to my mother too
'Buenos suenos' to the moon

One more Nanci Griffith...The Flyer
Words & Music By Nanci Griffith
© 1994 Ponder Heart Music/Irving Music Inc. (BMI)
He was a flyer for the Air Force
On a plane from San Antonio
I was traveling to London
He was going off to Buffalo
Changing planes in Pittsburgh
We got grounded in a storm
And, I would give anything
To be on that flyer's arm
We played cards, mostly blackjack
As we sat out on the tarmac
We sang songs we knew in Spanish
As we both loved songs of language
He'd heard me on the radio
I'd seen the flyers of San Antone
And, I would give anything
To have that flyer for my own
Chorus:
God bless the flyer
Who would be flying home tonight
Cuz' I would give anything
To see that flyer, flyin' tonight
He said he'd never married
Cuz, his heart was in the clouds
And I said I was too clumsy
That I broke the wings of the loves I found
He shouted out his name to me
As I ran to make my flight
I would give anything
To see that flyer, flyin' tonight
One year I watched a war in London
In the airport leaving London
And I wondered if I'd know him
If I saw his wings in motion
Did I leave my heart in Pittsburgh...
In the lightning of that flight?
I wish that you could tell me now
Will he be flyin' home tonight?
(Repeat chorus twice)
-
Looks like you did a good job on that one, Cillaliz. She's fortunate she had you representing her.
Thanks. She's a sweetheart, actually. A good person who did some really stupid things to feel loved. Anyway, now she's got a good job, her family knows all and supports here and I don't think she'll have any problems getting through this.
-
Now time to get ready...New York City here I come!
-
Sometimes young girls do dumb things because they are in love. She was lucky this time. I'm sure she will be wiser in the future.

Have fun, Cillaliz!!!!

Yesterday Mr. Barnum said:
Everyone has a myspace page except for me.
Nope, Mikey, this old man doesn't have one either. Nor does Anthony. Three of us anyway. Something tells me Tom in Australia doesn't have a myspace page either :D
I have caught up with all the posts from Oscar Day.
I'm listening to Donald's show right now. A compilation of Company recordings. I have the new cast recording (even though I loathe the production). It sounds better on CD than it plays on stage, but when you hear the original cast recording against the 3 other recordings (Roundabout 1995, London 1996 and the new one), there is no question which recording is superior - and it AIN'T the new one.
-
I'm here by myself so I shall leave.
Later!
-
I'm back and I'm still alone.
Donald, I do like the way you've worked all the versions of Ladies Who Lunch into one.
-
Good morning, Ben. I couldn't get back to sleep.
-
Good morning, all! I'm groggy today. I'm basically stuck here waiting for a UPS delivery. Around noon, I have to make a fast trip to the NYPL, so until then, I think I'll work on the chart sitting on my desk.
Isn't Agnomen in THE ILIAD?
-
I have no Agnomen. I don't consider Ben to be one, even though my full name is Benjamin. I've never had an Agnomen unless people have created one and call me that behind my back. Perhaps that was what Larry and Jose were up to yesterday when they had dinner. They created Agnomens for everyone on HHW

Question for BK:
What were the first and last comedy albums you ever purchased?
-
And, yes... As I sit here at the kitchen table with my laptop, I also happen to have the vocal scores to Sweeney Todd, Merrily We Roll Along, Sunday in the Park with George, and Into the Woods in front of me.
Color me Geek!
Early on in the home computer days, I became fascinated with midis. I bought Cakewalk in order to create my own. But since I didn't have a keyboard to input the notes, I would open up Cakewalk's staff view and meticulously copy the treble and base lines note-for-note from sheet music or vocal scores. Sometimes it came out great, sometimes not (the older versions of Cakewalk did not allow for recreating some notation such as slide notes.) My "magnum opus" was creating a midi of the FOLLIES overture with all of the orchestra parts, copied from the full score book. It sounded terrific--until I hit some button that flattened out the entire thing somehow and, to top it off, I accidentally saved the file that way. That was very discouraging.
I'd like to get into doing this again. DRs Elmore, Jose, Penny-O and JMK have all talked at one time or another about a piece of software called Finale. Would that be a good system to work with for creating midis?
-
Good morning everyone. Another stressful situation is brewing here at work so I thought I would catch up and say hi before the day gets too crazy.
-
Perhaps when Cillaliz is in town, we can have a discussion about how she is able to separate herself from the stress of her cases. Some days I'm good at that, other days just so so. I woke up with a jolt of anxiety this morning thinking about a case. :(
-
DR Tpunk, do you meditate? Does anyone here meditate?
-
On a positive note, I had the BEST time at work last night. A group called Road Recovery comes in to work with the kids for 3 months to prepare a musical performance. The kids choose which group they want to be a part of: singing, percussion, or dance, then rehearse different aspects of the performance. There will be a show in May. They've encouraged staff to take part so I joined the singing group. I had a blast, it was great to see the kids so enthusiastic and passionate. So I guess in the end it all balances out.
-
DR Tpunk, do you meditate? Does anyone here meditate?
I've never been able to shut off the screaming voices inside my head long enough to meditate. ;D Perhaps I should lower my caffeine intake.

Yesterday DR RonP wrote re: HEROES
SPOILER
I'm of the opinion, this morning, that Hiro's father did not
know his son had any ability until recently. Still, he made no
"move" to bring his son "in" the way he expects his employees
to bring in the other folks with special abilities.
Hiro, however, would not be easily "brought in" since he can will
himself to be somewhere else
I can't remember, did hiro's father see him use his ability on the last show he was on? If so what did he see?
That is such an interesting point about bringing hiro in. I wonder if maybe his father knew about his abilities all along and he was "adopted" the same way claire was.
-
DR Tpunk, do you meditate? Does anyone here meditate?
Good morning, HHW!
Yes, I meditate and love it. There are different styles of meditation. I do mine lying down rather than sitting in a lotus position, and I use a meditation tape. I find it very relaxing. On days when I'm really stressed I don't get as deeply relaxed, and hence, it's not as good a meditation, but I'm still better off for it.
-
I hope no one pointed a gun at you, TPunk!
Goodness no, no guns. Just uncontrollable rage and seething anger.

Wednesday morning greetings! I popped in earlier to say HI to DT(Dear Traveller) Cillaliz, but this is my official log-in for the day.
Question for BK: As I've listened to the BRAIN, I've wondered if the script is place-bound to the San Fernando Valley, or would you rewrite the geographical references to fit different locations?

That is such an interesting point about bringing hiro in. I wonder if maybe his father knew about his abilities all along and he was "adopted" the same way claire was.
Revealing that Hiro's father is part of "the company" does kind of confuse things. If Hiro was known to be different and was adopted like Claire, there is no way that his father would have let him leave Japan in the first place, let alone allow him to continue with his quest. And if his father didn't know about him, well that's a bit of an amazing coincidence. But then, that's the stuff of drama.
!!!!! SUPER SPOILER !!!!!
Some sharp-eyed people on a message board I read have noticed that in HRG's flashback, the young Haitian was wearing an amulet around his neck that is the same symbol as Jessica's tattoo. Not only that, but the same symbol appears on Hiro's sword. What do you think of that?

Oy! What a morning I've had!
My friend Jeff called at the crack of dawn (actually 8:15, I was just getting out of bed) saying he needed to be taken to the emergency room. So, I threw on clothes and raced over there to get him. Took him to the closest hospital (had never been to the emergency side of the building, and it was a MAZE), and then took me a long time to find visitor parking and get back to the emergency room to check on him. It was at least an hour before a doctor came in to check him out. Some sort of intestinal flu that's going around. They were going to give him some medicine and fluids and we how he responded, so I came back home. I'll know later if he's to be admitted or to be released and then I can go pick him up or visit as needed.
-
I really liked Dirk Shafer's MAN OF THE YEAR. I haven't watched it in awhile, but I do have fond memories of it. Might need to take it off the shelf and give it a spin soon.
I have no interest whatsoever in the Robin Williams movie of the same name.

No, I don't meditate or medicate, unless you call taking a multiple vitamin each morning medicating.

Thanks! He was as pale and weak as I've ever seen him. Said he had been up since 4 a.m. in distress. What a long night for him!

Have we ever discussed Dirk Shafer's other film CIRCUIT here on HHW? I was surprised by how grim it was, but Shafer showed a sure directorial hand, I thought. Surprised he hasn't done much else film-wise.

I'll have VERONICA MARS and both LAW & ORDERs to watch today.
Really looking forward to VM as monumental events happened last week that switched the series around completely.

Actor Bruce Bennett (aka Herman Brix) died at age 100 of complications from a broken hip Saturday at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center.
Olympic athlete turned actor who played Tarzan in the 1930s then went on to play leads and character roles for the next several decades. He made many recent appearences at the Ray Courts Show in Burbank over the last few years.
Many HHWers will recall him as Joan Crawfords husband in MILDRED PEIRCE or as the hero in THE COSMIC MAN and THE ALLIGATOR PEOPLE.
(http://i14.ebayimg.com/04/i/06/d4/66/65_1.JPG)
-
Very nice review on Amazon, DR JRand.
-
CIRCUIT is on DVD. I became aware of the movie because it was on the film festival rounds the same time as Dear Friend Joe Triebwasser's film FRIENDS AND FAMILY, and both films happened to feature the amazingly talented Brian Lane Green. (Interestingly, Brian Lane Green plays the "plain-looking" boyfriend in CIRCUIT - now, that's acting!)
-
So, any regular 24-watchers on here?
Is it just me - or is this season just stagnant? I mean, I love the show, but I feel like I haven't been "engaged" to this season like I have in the others...
-
Brian Lane Green played supporting roles in FRIENDS AND FAMILY and CIRCUIT, but even though he's not a celeb, when he would show up at the screenings, heads would turn in a "who IS that?" manner. Definitely has star quality, another person I'm shocked hans't hit it even bigger than he has. But I think he's more interested in becoming known as a writer.
-
Lunch!

I'm not a meditation sort of fellow.
I am, however, a medication sort. I strongly advise that anyone who even suspects that they may be chronically depressed see their doctor - the meds have improved my life immeasurably, not to mention the lives of those around me.
As for that couch-jumping nitwit that Katie Holmes married, who claims that all anyone needs is vitamins, I have just one question: Why is it that people with sub-par IQs so often believe they're the smartest people in the world?
-
Oh... As I'm looking at my vocal score for Sunday in the Park with George...
When you're rehearsing a show, is there any sort of ritual or process or tradition you follow once the show moves out the rehearsal hall and into the theatre?
For example...
-And I picked this up from a college professor of mine...
On the last day of rehearsal in the studio, I tear off a piece of the tape that was used to mark off the set on the floor, and I place it on my score. My professor - who was a director - would place a piece of the tape on his script.
Yes, my ritual is to say, "Hoo and ray, I don't have to be in this ugly, dank rehearsal room anymore!"
-

He's just been cast as the gay writer in the pilot for a comedy series based on the lives of WILL & GRACE creators Dave Kohan and Max Mutchnick.
Or am I thinking of someone else. The Brian Green I'm talking about was on FREDDIE last season.

I'm a huge fan of '24,' but this season isn't topping last season (or the first season, in my mind the two best seasons of the show). This week's episode was more set-up than execution (except for the very end, of course), and I'm hopeful now that the scheming Logan is back in the picture, things will pick up. Powers Boothe as the VP should also provide some much needed chicanery.
-
Question for BK:
What were the first and last comedy albums you ever purchased?
Two answers for the first part: Mr. Magoo in Hi-Fi would be the real first comedy album - I loved that album. First comedian comedy album would have been the first Shelly Berman album - also had Bob Newhart and Louis Nye albums, but Shelly was first.
Last comedy album - Derek and Clive: Live
-
My first question for ASK BK day:
Which movie biography of which person do you think most accurately reflects that person's life?
And which is the worst distortion of the reality?
It's so hard to know which accurately reflects since I have never actually known anyone who's had a film made from their life. The worst distortion - so many - Night and Day and the more recent Cole Porter pic come to mind.
Was Love Me Or Leave Me faithful to Miss Etting's real story? I love the Jolson Story - but I think it's pretty fanciful, even though Jolie was involved.
-
I guess I'll head down now and get some lunch.

Oh, and I'm up. Have shaved, and will shower shortly or shortly shower, whichever comes first.

Agreed -- I actually was quite excited at Greg Itzin's return...a little more so than usual due to the lack of...whatever it is from this season. And Powers Boothe - yessssss...
I guess I feel like they are using too many of the old conventions and not exploring new area. I mean, watch Keifer play with the family stuff is great - if it were a complex, intimate drama - but not for 24, because the plots have to be unusually far-fetched to make it work.
The only thing that hooked me (and I thought was going to really propel this season forward) was the nuke in Valencia...but it seems like they might have blown their load too early...

Well, how about a mènage á trois... We are going to France, n'est-ce pas?

‘Grease’ Car Makes Pit Stop
By LAWRENCE VAN GELDER
A vehicle carrying the Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson of a Dutch production of the musical "Grease" wound up in the orchestra pit during a performance on Sunday night in Almere, nine miles east of Amsterdam, The Associated Press reported.
Jim Bakkum as Danny, the role played by John Travolta in the 1978 film, suffered a concussion, and Bettina Holwerda, in the role played by Olivia Newton-John, might have broken her arm, Dutch television was told by Peter Swinkels, the director of the Almere City Theater.
No musicians were injured when the car, made up of the chassis of a red-and-white convertible and the engine of a golf cart, landed in an empty part of the pit.
An omen of what's to come this summer on Broadway?
-
There's such a thing as an empty part of an orchestra pit?
:o
-
I know that was a rather frightening and horrific experience for those involved, but at the same time I couldn't help but laugh.

Question for Jose - When someone (hypothetically, Jose) offers to take someone (hypothetically, Cason) on a trip (hypothetically, to France), are they offering just to buy that person a plane ticket, or are they offering to finance that peron's entire trip, soup to nuts (so to speak)?
:)
-
I meant that person, not that peron, unless it's a trip to see Evita in London.
-
Good morning, fellow Dear Readers. Last night I let the wild kitties go back home. They were glad to get back. Today I have to disinfect the traps and get them back to the agency that lent them to us. Then I will work on church newsletters.
Don't I live an exciting life? I want my life to be as boring as possible.
Bless you and your kitty project -- I like to think there's a special place in heaven, the cosmos, or wherever one believes we go for folks like you...

:)
Well, if Mr Music Guy is not paying for the entire trip, then I take back my acceptance of his offer to have me go along as chaperone -- it's all or nothing, baby, or this momma ain't going
-
He's just been cast as the gay writer in the pilot for a comedy series based on the lives of WILL & GRACE creators Dave Kohan and Max Mutchnick.
Or am I thinking of someone else. The Brian Green I'm talking about was on FREDDIE last season.
I'm thnking you mean Brian "Austin" Green.

Well, if said person (hypothetically, Cason), would like his plane ticket back to the States (hypothetically, Los Angeles)...
;D

I have no Agnomen. I don't consider Ben to be one, even though my full name is Benjamin. I've never had an Agnomen unless people have created one and call me that behind my back. Perhaps that was what Larry and Jose were up to yesterday when they had dinner. They created Agnomens for everyone on HHW
Uh-oh.
-
Hmmm... I don't think that answered your question. At least not hypothetically.
-
Uh-oh.
To quote DR Pogue as it were...
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
-
Or not.
:)
-
I think I saw Brian LANE Green star in JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT. He was very good.
Thanks, DR JEANNE for the comment on my review.
I looked for a discussion, but didn't find it. Jamie Foxx last year's best actor wasn't there to present the Best Actress Oscar this year. Does anyone know why? I can guess, but I am not sure.

Here are my thoughts on last night's AMERICAN IDOL.
*
*
*
Okay i am still madly in love with blake (beat boxer guy). And my other favorites are the same as last week (Chris richardson (justin timberlake guy), chris s(guy with big bushy hair) and phil (guy with the baby) ).
I really liked Chris R last night. And was pleasantly surprised that the judges loved him. His song was so different from anything i've seen on idol. I just find him sweet.
I did not like phil's song. But i agree with simon. He is popular and will be back next week.
The ones i am worried for are jared and nick. I don't care for them. I also don't care for aj, but the judges really praised him this week (which could save him).
I thought sundance was much better. I wonder if he will belt out big numbers like that each week from now on.
As for sunjaya, i thought he was better than last week (how could he not be). But he sings so shy and timdly. But he is popular. So he'll probably be safe. He has talent, so i sure hope he steps things up.
-
The GREASE pit would be empty if they were using LOTS of recorded music.
And yes, DRJOSE, I think it's an apt metaphor for the "new" Broadway production. My prediction is less than 15 weeks including previews.
-
I also have no agnomen--none.
Agggg--No Men?! It's All About Men! As for me, I just love 'em!!
....hey, bk, how's that for a Brain plug? Brain plug - ewwww, is that any thing like a Brain Tap? (ha! another Brain plug -- been tweaking my review while waiting for Boo-Key to get here to help me post it so I guess The Brain is on my Brain....

[size=8]SPOILER[/size]
Revealing that Hiro's father is part of "the company" does kind of confuse things. If Hiro was known to be different and was adopted like Claire, there is no way that his father would have let him leave Japan in the first place, let alone allow him to continue with his quest. And if his father didn't know about him, well that's a bit of an amazing coincidence. But then, that's the stuff of drama.
!!!!! SUPER SPOILER !!!!!
Some sharp-eyed people on a message board I read have noticed that in HRG's flashback, the young Haitian was wearing an amulet around his neck that is the same symbol as Jessica's tattoo. Not only that, but the same symbol appears on Hiro's sword. What do you think of that?
[size=8]More Spoilage![/size][/color]
I don't think Hiro's father, or anyone, COULD have stopped Hiro from leaving Japan, since it's a matter of "mind" power. Of course, they could medicate him so that he couldn't concentrate....but then they'd have to know about his power first.
Since Hiro only recently discovered his power (we saw him use it for the first time in the first episode), it's unlikely anyone in "the company" knew what it would be, but YES! It is possible they knew he was "different"...all have a genetic marker. He may be adopted, but his father was certainly wanting him to take over the family business (which Hiro ceded to his sister).
Interesting observation about that "symbol"! Has anyone noted that Jessica has it, but Nicki doesn't?

Speaking of Boo-Key and The Brain (wasn't that a cartoon?), since the radio show was cancelled this morning due to illness (the host not the guests), Case will be in transit today -- so send out nice, safe, happy travel vibes for him...

If there were any JUSTICE, Sunjaya and A.J. would be the ones going home tomorrow night.
Chris Sligh and Chris Richardson were very good. Blake Lewis was terrific. Sundance Head was terrific. Phil Stacey has a nice voice....bad song choice, IMO, but safe.
Jared and Nick should definitely worry a bit, though. Sunjaya's got the John Stevens thing going for him...i.e., so-so performer with large, tin-eared fan base.
I've forgotten one of them....and because of that, he should worry, too.
-
DRs Miss Karen and Cason - Just to ease my own "confusion", just how far a distance would you two need travel to see each other? -I had been thinking you both lived in the same area. I guess not.
-
Good morning, all! I'm groggy today. I'm basically stuck here waiting for a UPS delivery.
Problem solved. You're free to leave the abode cause Case is being delivered here in AZ not NYC...
-
I felt so bad for Sunjaya while he was performing. Trying to emulate that style of singing and dress only served to emphasis how young and inexperienced he is. It's like he was wearing a flashing red sign that lit up saying "I have no place in this competition." Of course, that's just my opinion.
-
I need a coke!
-
And some chapstick.

The distance (about 400ish miles give or take) between LA and Central AZ -- anything to ease your own confusion -- don't want you fretting all day on our account ;)

It's too early for me to be feeling this giddy.

"Woody" is a nickname. It is not an agnomen, as it does not refer to anything.
Yeah, right....that's what all the guys named "Woody" say -- "It's just a nickname, by golly, geewiz"
So innocently, too....mm-umm.. ::)

Mine, too.
The way he was "presenting" himself...image-wise....he seemed on the verge of "coming out"...without knowing he was doing it.
-
My guess, DR RLP, is that he thought he should have a Best Actor Nomination for DREAMGIRLS.
-
So...
I wonder if "American Idol" - and other reality shows - offer any sort of post-show counseling to their participants/contestants. Or at least a list of qualified health professionals.
-
My guess, DR RLP, is that he thought he should have a Best Actor Nomination for DREAMGIRLS.
Interesting. My guess would have been he was too embarrassed to be seen with those in "Dreamgirls" who seriously outperformed him.
-

Two answers for the first part: Mr. Magoo in Hi-Fi would be the real first comedy album - I loved that album. First comedian comedy album would have been the first Shelly Berman album - also had Bob Newhart and Louis Nye albums, but Shelly was first.
Last comedy album - Derek and Clive: Live
I remember your Shelly Berman "phase", Bruce. There was a joke about an elderly couple. One would say to the other, "Do you want to go to sleep or what?" And the other, hard of hearing, would reply, "What? What?" How you loved that joke! I still chuckle over it--and you, telling it.
-
They are traditionally asked, DR JOSE..... DR RLP may be right. Of course Jamie may be working on some classic motion picture and wasn't available.
I just hadn't heard "officially" what the reason was.
-
Yeah, right....that's what all the guys named "Woody" say -- "It's just a nickname, by golly, geewiz"
So innocently, too....mm-umm.. ::)
Well, since the nick was given to me by a girl during my college days...
And there is absolutely no way she would have known...
Believe me, absolutely no way!

You and Jennifer are spot on with your AI reviews/comments. However, I do like Nick's voice (smokey and sexy -- whatever) but Simon is right his lack of stage presence is gonna kill him if he doesn't step up the "it" factor and even if he does I think those younger hip guys have got it down and will be hard to beat at this point. Phil will have the same problem (nice voice but the others know how to work the stage and have their inididual image thing going) AJ hands down should be outta there (terrible job and I'm with Simon, I love puppies too...but...) and Sujaya out to offer to pack his bags, too, after his last two times on stage...
I had to LOL regarding Simon and AJ -- Simon can be wickedly, but spot on, delicious in his comments, but I loved the "funny sarcasm" he was using on AJ -- and smiling all the while -- that puppy comment (LOL) and sending out BD wishes to his mom and talking about how he loved grandmas too, but...I don't want him to change, but I hope he throws this into the mix a little more often, too.

HA!
Here's the current weather forecast for NYC from WNBC's website:
This afternoon: Temperatures will rise from 42 early afternoon to the high for the day of 43 at 3:00pm as they drop back down to 37 later this afternoon.
42 to 43?!?!?!?!? Why bother?
-
As for "American Idol"....
If AJ and Antonella are still left on that stage after tomorrow night's show...
-Something tells me Antonella will still be pitchy and bad tonight.
The next sound you hear....

Well, since the nick was given to me by a girl during my college days...
And there is absolutely no way she would have known...
Believe me, absolutely no way!

Keep trying, Woody, keep trying...
...He who doth protest too much....
..well, at least you were given your nickname -- you gotta wonder about the motive of those guys who give themselves the nickname "Woody" ...so I'll let you off the hook and accept your role as the innocent..... ;) ;)

Hmmm... Sunny, mid-40s... Sounds like a good day for the Park. Possibly.
-
Warm and thunderstorms predicted for us here tomorrow.
-
Last night, while we were at the store getting grub to eat (baby zucchini, plus some fresh ginger and lemon to flavor the rice - I'd already thawed the chicken breasts, which I breaded and pan-fried), der Brucer picked up a loaf of garlic bread. There was no way the garlic bread was going to go with last night's dinner, so I'll be toasting it up tonight.
Which means, I'll be doing Italian.
And I have no idea what I want to do, specifically.
-
OK... I need to get away from the computer for a while... Maybe I'll go through a box or two... Or... Well...
In any case...
Laters...

DR RonP, re: IDOL.
The guy who you forgot is brandon (i think that is his name).He is black and very cute. And sang "time after time". I actually like him. I mean not as much as blake or chris r or chris s or phil. But he is so cute. ANd he has such nice stage presence. WAsn't he the back up singer who had worked with many professionals?
-
Bless you and your kitty project -- I like to think there's a special place in heaven, the cosmos, or wherever one believes we go for folks like you...
Thank you, Miss Karen. Apparently, I was pretty close to getting there that night!

DR TPunk, is your day getting any better?

and a good one -- spot on as I say (he comes across as being very uncomfortable on stage which is the kiss of death for any performer, much less one trying to be the next AI). He actually showed more confidence during the audition -- that goes to show the difference between someone who's just a good singer and one who's a good performer -- you gotta know how to work that stage -- and audience -- too. But I'm preaching to the choir cause we all know that -- which makes you wonder why don't they know that -- they don't have a clue..

I just finished catching up with yesterday's (last night's) posts.

Yes. Some of that may have to do with the fact that I am screening my calls.

But he is so cute. ANd he has such nice stage presence. WAsn't he the back up singer who had worked with many professionals?
Uh-oh, then I need to amend ALL of my AI comments -- I was getting AJ and Brandon and Jared mixed up (which might hint at problems for them cause it shows they aren't standing out). Brandon's Time After Time is the one that I didn't like and he was the one who Simon was using the puppy remark with -- I didn't like Jared either -- sang okay but very bad dance moves -- that hand over the face thing -- which I couldn't believe Randy liked -- I thought he came across as cheesy. And the tennis shoes with the suit -- he only needed some white gloves and he would have looked like a dancing cartoon character (you know those little animal ones that would be dressed like humans and dancing and singing in white gloves and spats and/or white shoes). Anyway, if Brandon sang Time After Time, he should be gone. Brandon is cute and is the back-up singer, but as Simon says it's a singing competition, so his Time After Time, to me, was the worst performance last night (though I had thought he was pretty good up to last night) and Sanjya (however you spell it) right behind -- or even tied, but Brandon's excuses put him over the top for me. I hope I have my critique straight now -- but I guess it doesn't matter -- I think Brandon, AJ, Jared, and Sanjaya are all on the chopping block unless they pull a rabbit out of their collective hats...just my long-winded opinion....

Heard over the PA system in a hotel somewhere in Paris in a few months: "Message for Dr. Ben Dover...Dr. Ben Dover...Please report to Room 69" ... (followed by giggles and laughter from Mr Music Guy's room with them thinking their joke, an old one at that, is so funny...)

I was a couple days behind in the posts--my Other Life so rudely intervenes--and for a moment thought I might just skip them. Then some reference was made to DearReaderLaura's adventure the other night, so I just HAD to read about it, didn't I? :)
Yes, this site is addictive.

BTW, you seem quite calm and complacent about it, DearReaderLaura. I do hope this isn't a common occurence. :)

Good Afternoon!
Ah, Progress. I hope.
Instead of heading out into the glorious sunshine, I just made a second pass through the eight "boxes-o-stuff" I made an initial pass through yesterday. Now I'm down to two boxes of music xeroxes, and just four b-o-s. -And one bag for recycling, and one bag for the trash.
HOO and RAY!
And one b-o-s is a box of books I'll probably end up taking down to the buyer's counter at Strand Books.
Yes, there are lots of slips of papers (old bills, receipts, etc.) that will need a bit more scrutiny, but, for now, I think it was a good way to get things started.
And I didn't get that overwhelming feeling like I did last week.
-And only 30 more boxes to go! :-\
-
It's so sad getting old.

Here's a question for anyone that wants to answer. I've been reading Ted Chapin's book "Everything Was Possible" The story about the rehearsal process for "Follies" and it's quite good. Of course it has made me listen to everything "Follies" that's been recorded. Realizing the Original Broadway Cast is the best, what do people think about the PaperMill recording or "Follies In Concert"?
-
*And with a "proper" Filipino accent, it would be pronounced:
"Pickle Pilipino"
;)
-
Color you AWESOME! The sad thing is these days there aren't enough people who appreciate statements like the one you made here, Jose...
That's the beauty of being able to have your own studio space so you can sit among your CD's and vocal scores. Good times!!!!

Good question!
I was first introduced to Follies via "Follies in Concert", so that recording will always hold a special place in my heart. I just wish that when the DVD was released it would have included more footage of the concert.
I like the Papermill CDs, and it's very nice to have all that extra material on disc, but some of the performers just don't sit well on my ears.
Of course, there's also the London revival with Diana Rigg. Totally different animal. -Although, I do love the album art. -Which I think is the primary reason I've kept the LP set all these years. *And some of the featured solo piano lines almost sound freakishly fast to me - the intro to "Live, Laugh, Love" in particular.
-
DR Miss Karen - Thank you for the clarification of your geographical location.
-
Hmm...
While going through my boxes today, I came across a copy of the orchestra parts for Violet.
Hmm....
To keep, or not to keep.
-
I prefer to listen to the "In concert" "Follies". I love the incomplete OBC and enjoy the others. I still don't like the Concert version of "Who's that Woman". I would if Woman was not pronounced "WomIN".
The London version is always worth a listen for the new songs. I find the Papermill somehow is less "emotional".
The DVD of the concert really has impact. The distance between the rehearsals and the performance by Stritch is amazing.
-
...And and extra copy of the P/V score for Quilters.
Anyone interested in that?
-
"Gay" Mount Everest?

I just received the copy of the first Closer script for season 3. Looks good!!

I looked for a discussion, but didn't find it. Jamie Foxx last year's best actor wasn't there to present the Best Actress Oscar this year. Does anyone know why? I can guess, but I am not sure.
You're running a year behind, DR JRand. Foxx won two years ago. Philip Seymour Hoffman won last year for CAPOTE and he presenbted Best Actress this year to Helen Mirren.
-
DR Cillaliz, glad you worked out all your travel dillemnas. I look forward to hearing your reports on the shows and of course, your social schedule!

But he is so cute. ANd he has such nice stage presence. WAsn't he the back up singer who had worked with many professionals?
He is a backup singer, and he still behaves as one in my opinion. Unlike Melinda Doolittle, he doesn't own the stage AT ALL. I find his voice totally bland - perfect for a background singer who won't steal focus from the star.
As I said last night, I thought he and Sanjaya were the two weakest performers last night.
-
Ask bk encore: What is the posting number we need to get to today to break all HHW records?
-
"Pot... This is Kettle."
Pa Kettle....or Ma Kettle?
-
Where else on the internet could you go to find yourself visualizing a different meaning for the phrase "I'm in a pickle"?
-
I prefer the Papermill FOLLIES to the FOLLIES IN CONCERT. I think Papermill was beautifully cast. Elaine Stritch is an icon, but I loathe her "Broadway Baby." Maybe because I saw Ethel Shutta do it in the original, but I really don't like Stritch's version at all though I'll admit I'm in the minority as it brings down the house.
I also don't care for Carol Burnett's verion of "I'm Still Here."
-
Got my friend Jeff out of the hospital and comfortably tucked in at home. Just a really bad stomach virus that seems to be making the rounds in this area.
-
Pa Kettle....or Ma Kettle?
More like Kettle One.
::)
-
I also had time to catch up on all the viewing from last night that was recorded. I began with VERONICA MARS, and I guessed the murderer's identity correctly! Hooray for me! It's the first one of the four big mysteries that the show has had since it began that I've ever gotten right.
When it returns, there won't be any long story mysteries but instead a single mystery per episode. I'll be interested to see if that changes the dynamic of the show at all.
-
The other night, I watched an episode of LAW & ORDER: CI from season 2 that starred Lee Tergesen, and last night's episode featured him again (aplaying a different character, of course) as the victim of radiation poisoning slowly dying as the police scurry to find the killer. An interesting episode and very different vibe for this show. It was patterned after the famous noir D.O.A.
-
You're running a year behind, DR JRand. Foxx won two years ago. Philip Seymour Hoffman won last year for CAPOTE and he presenbted Best Actress this year to Helen Mirren.
Ah, I had been thinking along the same lines too.
-
LAW & ORDER: SVU had a very unusual episode as well. The central mystery involved a string of abductions in which men were being raped. Usually, that alone would have been enough for an episode.
But this one also included a much more interesting story involving Olivia finally tracking down her half brother whom she only recently learned existed. He's been under surveillance as a rapist (not connected to the other rape case above), and she's torn between supporting her new sibling and believing what the evidence is suggesting to her that he's guilty.
-
Next, I put in THE GANG'S ALL HERE from the Alice Faye box. I didn't start with the feature. Instead, I watched an included bonus film, the last one ever made by Faye in which she looked back over her career and offered a few highlights, made for the drug company (I think it was a drug company; maybe it was an exercise regimen) she was representing at the time.

After I finished that, I did start the feature and watched about 15 minutes of it. Already I can see the problem: one scene with exquisite Technicolor followed by one that looks rather washed out.
I think I read somewhere that the separation masters were long gone for the film, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised it looks like this.

It's so sad getting old.
No. The lucky ones get to grow old. Growing old is my goal. I just didn't expect it quite so soon.

Yesterday Mr. Barnum said:
Everyone has a myspace page except for me.
Nope, Mikey, this old man doesn't have one either. Nor does Anthony. Three of us anyway. Something tells me Tom in Australia doesn't have a myspace page either :D
I have caught up with all the posts from Oscar Day.
I'm listening to Donald's show right now. A compilation of Company recordings. I have the new cast recording (even though I loathe the production). It sounds better on CD than it plays on stage, but when you hear the original cast recording against the 3 other recordings (Roundabout 1995, London 1996 and the new one), there is no question which recording is superior - and it AIN'T the new one.
I don't have a myspace either

HI! DR Cillaliz!!!
-
Are you posting from NYC?
-
Question for Jose - When someone (hypothetically, Jose) offers to take someone (hypothetically, Cason) on a trip (hypothetically, to France), are they offering just to buy that person a plane ticket, or are they offering to finance that peron's entire trip, soup to nuts (so to speak)?
:)
In Jose's case, I am quite certain that he meant from soup to nuts!
-
Perhaps when Cillaliz is in town, we can have a discussion about how she is able to separate herself from the stress of her cases. Some days I'm good at that, other days just so so. I woke up with a jolt of anxiety this morning thinking about a case. :(
I go to New York and say take care of yourself for a few days I need a break ;)
Seriously it's the hardest thing about my job and yours. Lets discuss it over an adult beverage. I sent you my cell phone
-
Oh, an YES I AM HERE!!!!!
It was an uneventful flight. The Omaha area could have close to a foot of snow by tomorrow when my flight was supposed to go so, I'm so glad I came today.
I love the Edison already. I checked in and the clerk said - "They have you in a tiny room, I'll just upgrade you to a king room, would that be all right" It's a great sized room for one person with a desk, a chair with a foot stool and the whole tv entertainment thingy. My room is really close to Broadway and 47th, so it may be noisy, we'll see.

Welcome to NYC! Again!
As for the noise level at the Edison - I don't think I ever had a problem with the street noise there. However, if you happen to be staying on the same floor with a high school group, well... In any case...
-Wanna get a frozen hot chocolate?
;)
-
And their front desk staff and bellmen are truly some of the friendliest staff I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with.
-
You're running a year behind, DR JRand. Foxx won two years ago. Philip Seymour Hoffman won last year for CAPOTE and he presenbted Best Actress this year to Helen Mirren.
You are CORRECT....I am missing a year!! And of course PSH was the presenter. 8)
Whew the world can go on. ;D Mystery solved. Of course I was the only one confused. As usual. :P

I don't have a myspace.
And if I did, the dogs would insist on getting on it, as well.
And Fletcher is danged heavy! He'd collapse the myspace and probably do damage to the other spaces around it. My myspace would turn into, I dunno, something like a black hole, sucking everything nearby down into a spiraling nothingness.
I am so not getting a myspace.
-
Well, I think I'm gonna head out for a bit and stretch my legs for a bit. *All the walking I've been doing lately has really helped ease my sciatica which had been acting up again lately. Whew!
And with a big night of TV viewing tonight... "American Idol", "Top Design" and...
"Top Model"
;)
Laters...
-
Wooohoooooooooo look out New York City!!
-
Welcome to NYC, Cilla!!!!!
-
Is Top Design new tonight? My paper shows a rerun....grrrrrrrrrr
-
Welcome to NYC, Cilla!!!!!
Thanks! I'm really glad to be here.
-
Cilla, are we still on for dinner Thursday night before CURTAINS? And any other NYC folk up for Thurs. dinner?
-
Is Top Design new tonight? My paper shows a rerun....grrrrrrrrrr
Oh.. I dunno.. It could be a rerun. I was just thinking that since it's "Wednesday", it's a heavy DVR night, that's all.
-
Cilla, are we still on for dinner Thursday night before CURTAINS? And any other NYC folk up for Thurs. dinner?
Sounds good, I won't be rushing from the airport now so that's even better. I know Elmore said he wanted to join us, but he isn't going to the show.
-
Thanks for all the travel vibes. The ice that was supposed to hit hadn't hit yet, the snow is now going to happen there tomorrow and the bad weather in Texas didn't happen while I was there. I think the vibes helped a lot
-
DR Cillaliz - glad your trip worked out. Have a great time and say HI to all those New York Hainsies and Kimlets for me!
-
DR Cillaliz, welcome to NY! Glad you like the Edison. The coffee shop is a staple---many recording deals were signed there and it reeks of ambience.
DR Jose is right; I've stayed there many times and in a few instances have run into groups of noisy high school kids. But maybe you'll be OK since it's the middle of the week.
If you go out the south entrance, look to your left and you'll see a staircase that is probably roped off. It goes up to a very old recording studio that, when last I heard, was owned by Lenny Kravitz. I tried sneaking up there once but got busted. :-(
-
I'm glad I didn't buy tickets for Curtains yet, since the Quads changed our date. I guess I will wait until mid-March to book my flight and hotel, and hope for the best.
-
No. The lucky ones get to grow old. Growing old is my goal. I just didn't expect it quite so soon.
Beautifully said DearReader Laura.
-
I love staying at the Edison, and it's always the first place I check to stay when we're coming to NYC.
-
I went ahead and cleaned the den when I got back this morning from taking my friend to the ER, so when I head downstairs in a bit, I can fire up the home theater and finish THE GANG'S ALL HERE in plenty of time before prime time TV starts.
WBBL.

For Ask bk day: Did you get your DVD's yet?
I got two other packages that were sent on Monday, but not yours. Hopefully tomorrow because I am chomping at the bit.
-
Ask bk encore: What is the posting number we need to get to today to break all HHW records?
Actually, today isn't about number of posts at all, it's about "hits" - how many times people reload pages here at haineshisway.com. I'll go check and see how close we are.

Back in the harness again?

Follies - for me there's only one Follies, truncated or not, and that's the OBC. Period. The concert version has some of the most brittle and ugly sound I've ever heard, and I don't like the performances at all. The Papermill version is not well-recorded - it sounds tinny and bad - and I don't really care for those performances either. Nope, the OBC and only the OBC. For cut songs, I prefer the versions that I've recorded of That Old Piano Roll (or whatever it's called) which is much better on the Unsung Sondheim album than it is in its pathetic version on Papermill's album. Larry's chart is glorious. And the recording of It Wasn't Meant To Happen by Michele Pawk is, for me, definitive, and the orchestration by David Siegel is wonderful.
-
It's amazing how quickly this day has passed, especially considering that I've felt quite a bit "out of sorts" for most of it.

Back from the Music Center function, which was basically a press conference for the New Musicals venture happening in LA in 2008. It was the usual back-clapping affair, with lots of speeches and bragging. There were some musical performances by Stephen Schwartz, Jason Robert Brown, Georgia Stitt, Michael Arden, and Jason Alexander - in other words - the LA clique of which I've never been a part. They all sang songs of their own concocting. The Arden song from his proposed musical version of - wait for it - Ripley (not based on the Ripley of Believe It Or Not, which would at least be interesting - but The Talented Mr. Ripley, maybe the stupidest idea for a musical I've ever heard) was the worst - no shape, no line, and its repeated use of one character name - Dickie - does not work in a lyric - it is amusing, not its intended effect. The JRB song (from a musical version of Honeymoon In Vegas - when will this madness stop???) took a long time to find its joke, but was okay - he really had to "sell" the song, like an actor, instead of just letting the song speak for itself. Georgia's song was cute, Stephen's song was not one of his best, and Jason A's song was - well, we like Jason A. as an actor, and I don't think songwriting is necessarily going to be his strong suit.
I saw lots of people I know and like - Karen Morrow, the Bergmans, Michael Kerker, David Zippel, and several people who seemed to know me and were very sweet. I hadn't spoken to Miss Stitt since we worked together on After The Fair - she, of course, is now Mrs. JRB.
-
I wonder what wonderful thing Lakisha Jones will treat us to tonight?
-
I came home to 0 David Shire orders - most dispiriting.
-
Will Melinda Dolittle pull out the stops and stun us?
-
I must now buckle down Winsocki and write.
-
I came home to 0 David Shire orders - most dispiriting.
Did you post the link to the site over at Film Score Monthly Messageboard?
-
It's going to be too close to call right now, in terms of shattering our previous "hits" record. We're currently at 123,000 hits, and we have to get to 126,000. We're doing great today, posting-wise, but we simply need more "hits" and I'm never sure how that works. Still, there's plenty of day left, but so far today we've had only about 2900 hits, so we'd have to keep pace to beat the old record. Can we? I think it will be so close that we may have to go right up until midnight.
-
Yes, the link has been posted and everyone there knows and they simply can't be bothered. Sort of nauseating. I think Varese will find the same thing about Zodiac - they're just not going to sell very many. It's sad - Mr. Shire is a national treasure.
-
Did you post the link to the site over at Film Score Monthly Messageboard?
What about Playbill.com or Broadway.com?
-
Toni buried Quan's feet in sand on the playground. He liked it.
Brandon won't eat his vegetables, so I haven't been able to eat my plate. He's ruining things for the others and they are very upset. Four-year-olds from the other classes like to come in and eat with us because they like to see me eat my plate (I'm not sure what their teachers think is going on), but Brandon has been ruining it for them too.
-
I haven't done a press release on those two sites because it's not really a theater album. I have posted on All That Chat and the broadwayworld message board.
-
I still haven't written one bloody word because I had to proof and approve the Shire CD.
-
Which I have.
-
Will we never get to page ten?
-
If we continue at the pace we're going, there will be no breaking of any further records.
-
Now I shall attempt to write a bloody word.
-
Actually, I lied - I wrote about ten bloody words before I left this morning.
-
So it is written, so it shall be done - page 10.
-
Will we never get to page eleven?
-
We need more BRAIN reviews, you lazy people out there in the dark.
-
Here are some bloody words for you:
Plasma.
Platelets.
Artery.

Question for you SHOO-BIZ type peoples.
I have a copy of the 40th Anniversary issue of Variety (1973/74) and there are two FULL PAGE ads from somebody named Jeanne Baird.
One is a photo of said person....the other is some type of fable about a little blonde girl being eaten by wolves.
IMDB lists some credits and says she is Victoria Meyerink's mother (is that the little girl who was on Danny Kaye's show?) ... who the hell is Jeanne Baird?
-
Nearly time for some Ballroom dancing!

Dear BK and other Dear Readers,
What are your feelings regarding toe socks? What about the practice of wearing socks with sandals? Do you prefer plain all-one-color socks or socks with patterns, stripes, and so on?
And why am I thinking about socks all of a sudden?
-
Toe socks: I'm for 'em!
Socks with sandals: I can't help but laugh whenever I see this, and I have no idea why.
The plain/fancified debate: I subscribe to the fancified school of sockery.
-
No socks with my sandals, DR SANDRA....but I do like closed-toe sandals...dancer's feet, you know.
Patterned socks for dressing up....white crew socks with gray toes/heels just because they are easy to find and buy. I also have some plain white crew socks for sneakers and casual wear.
Right now I am wearing white crew socks, one has gray toe and heel, the other is gray from toe to heel including the sole....I do not know where their mates are.
-
I haven't done a press release on those two sites because it's not really a theater album. I have posted on All That Chat and the broadwayworld message board.
No, but Shire's strong ties to the theater might be sufficient to attract their interest.
-
Will we never get to page ten?
Ummmm....I think we did.
-
What are "toe" socks, pray?
-
Are they anything like "finger cots"?
-
Here is one of the drawings that Mae-Ling Goldstein drew yesterday. You can see the heart in pink and stripes. Her daddy is on the right. You can see the love in his heart.
At this point, Mae-Ling told me that her daddy needs to get married.
Then she drew Miss Low-a (me) to the left of her daddy. You can see the love in my heart, too.
She informed me that I could marry her daddy.
-
Wouldn't a "hit" on this here site be the number of times folks visited?
Instead of staying "logged in", we should each get out of HHW.com, then reenter. Get out. Reenter. Get out. Reenter.
Don't know how many times each we should do this.
If 10 of us worked at -- did it 300 times -- the final record would be set.
But with folks tending to stay logged on all day, this is a record that probably won't break easily.
-
Two-toned pink stripey socks, my Stupid Pants, and my blue Aragog (from Harry Potter) shirt (which, incidentally, was a big hit at preschool today because Brandon LOVES Spiderman [the way I love Cherry Coke] and, by extension, spiders. He was talking about my shirt all day).
-
Quittin' time is upon me.
Ciao-ders....

Is Jason Alexander also a creator on the MARTY musical, or just hoping to play the lead?

Toe socks.

Here's a question for anyone that wants to answer. I've been reading Ted Chapin's book "Everything Was Possible" The story about the rehearsal process for "Follies" and it's quite good. Of course it has made me listen to everything "Follies" that's been recorded. Realizing the Original Broadway Cast is the best, what do people think about the PaperMill recording or "Follies In Concert"?
I value the Papermill for its near completeness (there are some cuts in "Loveland," and I think the mix is poor in a few spots. I was at the Folllies in concert event, but it wasn't FOLLIES for me: too upbeat, too many adjustments to the score to accommodate stars, and I thought Mandy Patinkin's ego way over the top in "Buddy's Blues." When Barbara Cook, at the end of the evening, said "I'm so glad I came," I thought, this ain't the FOLLIES I love. Sally is truly unhinged at the end, and the conclusion of the show should be unsettling and melancholic. Why do you think so many hated the original with such vehemence?
-
Cilla, are we still on for dinner Thursday night before CURTAINS? And any other NYC folk up for Thurs. dinner?
Me! Me!
-
Oh yea....well then I don't got no toe socks.
DR LAURA - what happened to the original Mrs. Goldstein?
-
Toe socks.
Or, rather, A toe sock.
-
I have the FOLLIES CONCERT and the London Cast Recording and OBC in vinyl. I don't have a preference only because I don't know the show well.
-
Dear BK and other Dear Readers,

Sandra, you are at the age when sox is one those subjects that is bound to dominate all of your waking moments.

I almost wrote the London Cat Recording.

Just came from a festive Mexican dinner with my mother, sister, and brother-in-law. My sister and her husband, who live in Michigan, have been in Florida for a couple of weeks and are staying at my mom's until the weather looks clear enough up north for them to head home. They may be here a while.
-
Good Evening!
Well, that was nice surprise... Since I was about to head out to get something to eat... And since DR Cillaliz wanted to grab a bite to eat after her trip in... I headed on down to the Edison, and then guided Cillaliz over to 9th Avenue, and headed up to 54th. We ended up supping at El Centro - a nice little Mexican place.
Good food. Good drinks. Good company. Good conversation.
After dinner we walked around Times Square until I needed to head back down underground to catch the train back uptown. -"Idol", ya know. (Sad, but true.) As for DR Cillaliz.... Well, she's a grown woman. I'm sure she'll be fine.
;)
-
I am eating soup.
Or, rather, I am DRINKING soup, as it's liquid and there's no chewing involved.
-
OOhh...So who else had Mexican food for dinner tonight?
-
I haven't done a press release on those two sites because it's not really a theater album. I have posted on All That Chat and the broadwayworld message board.
BK, I think you should anyway. David's a wonderful composer, and I'd think anyone who loves BABY and the two revues would love to buy the CD.
-
And one for Campbell!
-
And one for Mexican (food).
-
I almost wrote the London Cat Recording.
I sold that recording to Betty Buckley so she could learn the song for her audition.
-
OOhh...So who else had Mexican food for dinner tonight?
I haven't had dinner yet, but Mexican is sounding good! :)

I sold that recording to Betty Buckley so she could learn the song for her audition.

Still waiting for DR JOSE to add me as a friend on MYSPACE.
-
Meow!
It's true! She was utterly charming and visited to talk about herself for around 30 minutes. When I saw her backstage at CATS, the bitch wouldn't speak to me.
-
The 25th Anniversary Tour of CATS is purring its way to INDY in March.
I haven't talked to me friend Adam yet - he saw CAMELOT last Sunday night and will have a full Michael York report.

Well... Just watching "American Idol"... Last night and tonight's episodes at the same time courtesy of the DVR... -My roommate, Jim, hadn't seen last night's show yet, so... In any case...
One of the women just sang...
-I don't think I've ever cringed as much as I just did while that girl was singing. I even exclaimed, "Ouch!" a couple of times.
-
As for DR Cillaliz.... Well, she's a grown woman. I'm sure she'll be fine.;)
Let's hope she does better on her own than did Sandy Dennis in "The Out-of-Towners".

I was very close to doing so, too.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR for Top Design repeats.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr-r-r-r-r for any repeats.

My mother is talking on the telephonic device and has been doing so for quite some time.

There's no need to log off and on - a hit is registered (if I'm understanding it correctly) every time you refresh or visit any page on the site.
-
It's going to be VERY close - if we have a busy night, I think we'll just squeak through and break the only existing record we haven't been able to break. Of course, if this had been a normal month, we definitely would have. If everyone WUSSBURGERS by nine as they have the last two nights, then there's no way.
-
DR Jose ~ Were your ears burning? Case and I were were laughing about (make that with) you, the hee-hahs, and Woody's Woody talk today. All of you HHWers keep us tickled with all the witty, clever and wickedly funny banter. I hear AI opening music -- bye!
-
I've written one bloody page only because the phone has been ringing every two minutes and e-mails have been coming in every two minutes and I can't get any sort of run going. I can't work like that, so I'm stopping now and will try and write another two pages when things are calmer, later in the evening.
-
Oh, and I guess that would make the basis for a good - I hope - Ask BK Day Question...
Is there a moment - a lyric/word, harmony, melodic turn, etc. - in a song that you absolutely adore that puzzles you?
In LE MIZ there is one rhyming stanza that makes no sense to me. All the other rhyming patterns in the show are pretty ordinary. However, in Castle on a Cloud there are these lines:
There is a room that's full of toys,
There are a hundred boys and girls,
Nobody shouts or talks too loud,
Not in my castle on a cloud.
Why in the world did they reverse boys and girls? It makes no sense, and every time I hear it on the CD, it takes me out of the moment.
Okay, okay, I have a dull life!
[/size]
-
DR LAURA - what happened to the original Mrs. Goldstein?
Well, she was not actually Mrs. Goldstein, as they never married. But she was "called out of town unexpectedly."
-
My mother is talking on the telephonic device and has been doing so for quite some time.
Your step Aunt Audrey called. They are coming to town in April.
Is that right? Step aunt? She is your grandmother's new husband's son's wife. I think.
-
She's my step-ITEOG-aunt.

I have been wondering that since I bought the original London cast album in 1986! It just doesn't make sense. :-\
-
The one who catches frogs.
-
Do I have another step-ITEOG-aunt Audrey who doesn't catch frogs? :P
-
I've gone back to the movie I started last night - The Science Of Sleep - one quirky little fillum.
-
Thanks. She's a sweetheart, actually. A good person who did some really stupid things to feel loved. Anyway, now she's got a good job, her family knows all and supports here and I don't think she'll have any problems getting through this.
It was an interesting solution. Congratulations on a job well done & a happy ending.

In honor of Laura and Sandra's guest:
Step-aunt time, step-aunt time
Step-aunt time, step-aunt time
Never need a reason, never need a rhyme
Everyone, it's step-aunt time!

Thank you, George, I thought it was just me.
-
Thank you, Miss Karen. Apparently, I was pretty close to getting there that night!
Were you terrified when it happened or did it set in later? Sometimes during a “moment” I don’t really react to my fear until it is all over.
Did it feel weird to go to a line-up? Were you nervous and/or scared?
-
Sandra is that Joshie under the dishwasher looking so cute?
LOL-I think toe socks are cute to look at but I wouldn’t want to wear them.
-
Matt H-I’m glad Jeff is okay. Good vibes you don’t catch it now.
-
Edi-I’m looking forward to the return of THE CLOSER. I’m excited the script looks good.
-
Cilla-It is great to see you made it to NY! Have a fantastic time. I went to the Edison site, it looks nice.
-
Miss Karen & son, enjoy your visit.
-
Bruce-Just for you I’m on a roll. I always feel a bit uncomfortable doing multiple posts in a row.
-
Sandra is that Joshie under the dishwasher looking so cute?
LOL-I think toe socks are cute to look at but I wouldn’t want to wear them.
No, that's not Joshie. His name is Max and I don't know him. I got the picture from StuffOnMyCat.com and I thought it was funny.
StuffOnMyCat.com is a website with a collection of pictures of cats with stuff on them. I want to submit a picture of Joshie under a shoelace if I can find one.
And toe socks are very comfortable. I'm still wearing the one I put on for the picture, and my left foot is noticeably more comfortable than my right one.

Ron-I noticed only Jessica has the tattoo. I’m already sorry I stopped watching the show, oh well I will just keep up with the storyline here.
-
I bookmarked StuffOnMyCat.com.
-
Were you terrified when it happened or did it set in later? Sometimes during a “moment” I don’t really react to my fear until it is all over.
Did it feel weird to go to a line-up? Were you nervous and/or scared?
I was very shocked and scared. We wasted no time getting out of there! My stomach really really hurt for a few hours afterwards. But once the police got there, I knew we were safe.
It was a photo lineup. The detective brought a paper with six photos. I picked the right one.
-
Convenient you didn't have to go do it in person. Did you watch the police take him away? I think my stomach would still be hurting & I would be having nightmares.
-

No. They evacuated all the motor homes, then they led us all to another building next door which happened to have folks inside. We heard nothing and saw nothing after that. Once in a while, a young pfficer would come in and give us an update. Usually the update was that nothing had happened.
-
And exactly when was it that all the police officers became young enough to be my own son?
-
LOL-Young they might be, but it sounds as if they did a good job making sure you were safe.
-
Yes. They quietly evacuated everyone in the motor homes, then they moved us to the other building before they let him know they were there. Then it was a few hours before they convinced him to surrender.

Thanks to our local sheriff, mugshots are now online. Here is the bad guy.

and I thought Rain was the only exciting event in Phoenix.

Good Afternoon!
Ah, Progress. I hope.
Instead of heading out into the glorious sunshine, I just made a second pass through the eight "boxes-o-stuff" I made an initial pass through yesterday. Now I'm down to two boxes of music xeroxes, and just four b-o-s. -And one bag for recycling, and one bag for the trash.
HOO and RAY!
And one b-o-s is a box of books I'll probably end up taking down to the buyer's counter at Strand Books.
Yes, there are lots of slips of papers (old bills, receipts, etc.) that will need a bit more scrutiny, but, for now, I think it was a good way to get things started.
And I didn't get that overwhelming feeling like I did last week.
-And only 30 more boxes to go! :-\
DR JOSE, I think your approach is a good one. I know how overwhelming it can be. I always like to get through the easy stuff first, so I can see progress right away. That always feels good and then the momentum starts to build. Once I get on a roll it's easier.
On Sunday I was going through some books from college-ugh! yes! I do have difficulty throwing out books. But now I'm past that hurdle and it's just easier somehow. The other day a friend, who buys even more books than I do, said, "But how can you throw out BOOKS???" But I am! For me, books are the most difficult of all.
Happy tossing!
-
Although there was the recent report of a dinasaur being found in a sand pit.
No kidding? I didn't see it in our news reports. They are still buzzing about the Oscar fashions here.
-
DRLaura I hope you never have to see that face again!
-
'night.
-
DRLaura I hope you never have to see that face again!
I'm sure I will. In court. Probably in a couple of weeks.
-
No kidding? I didn't see it in our news reports. They are still buzzing about the Oscar fashions here.
I told you about that. The Bucket Chase Gang dug up a plastic triceratops.
I bought some Slinkies yesterday. DB (Dear Bloogie) and I are going to bury them on the playground on Saturday.

You need to get out more.

Uh, no.
-
Finished the movie, now shall start on another.
While I'd like to think we might make it to the new "hits" record, I don't think it will happen by midnight. It's just moving too slowly. If there were even one more day in this month it would have been easy. But, we've smashed every other record to smithereens. Of course, anything's possible in the next four hours.
-
Bruce-Just for you I’m on a roll. I always feel a bit uncomfortable doing multiple posts in a row.
Hey, you're among friends, so post away...
-
Miss Karen & son, enjoy your visit.
Thanks, we will (it's always fun to have him around, he keeps me laughing)..
-
I despise multiple gratuitous posts
-
and multiple hits just for the sake of building numbers.
-
Dear BK and other Dear Readers,
What are your feelings regarding toe socks? What about the practice of wearing socks with sandals? Do you prefer plain all-one-color socks or socks with patterns, stripes, and so on?
And why am I thinking about socks all of a sudden?
DR SANDRA, I am a sock lover. I did not, however, learn to appreciate socks until I came to the East Coast. California just isn't sock country. I do not, however, wear socks with sandals. It gets too freakin' hot here for that! Favorite socks are soft and cuddly and warm.
-
I must now go back and recheck all the previous pages in case I've missed something. anotehr 13 hits!
-
I despise multiple gratuitous posts
Ditto!
-
and multiple hits just for the sake of building numbers.
Ditto, again!
-
Glad DR Cason made his way home safely...I hope he wears his safety belt while driving.
DearReaderLaura, that is one scary mug, with or without a gun! That would be quite the scary situation to be in!
-
Is it better to correct in a later post or modify.Does either add hits?
another.
-
What's with these folks who do multiple posts just for the sake of multiple posts and the numbers game -- and then feel no sense of shame?
-
A sad commentary on the world is all I can say about multiple posters...
-
I'm so ashamed. I did not read any but the last half dozen pages from the Oscars day. It was not a hit day for me. It was a miss day. (No reference to Ms Doris Day intended_
-
Ditto, again!
Is this from the Department of Redundancy Department?
;)
-
Miss Karen, perhaps your charming son (who's probably already visiting with his ever lovin') will show you how to do your amazon review RIGHT NOW.
-
Will we never get to page fourteen?
-
So it is written, so it shall be done - page fourteen.
-
Reading a list of the Awards was enough information for me. I don't really care who wore what or said what.
The fashions and the speeches have no influence on the results and IMHO are not in the least entertaining.
-
Dear BK and other Dear Readers,
What are your feelings regarding socks?
I like socks. My husband likes socks. My daughter likes socks. My son likes socks. Do you like socks?
-
I think I'll report said multiple posters to the Global Moderator -- did you see that Dr Jane multiple posting in a row a page or two back? Shameless!!
-
Last night's viewing here was "Lavendar Ladies". Yes it is a "slight" film but what wonderful performances from the stars. It was interesting to see Dame Judi in a role that certainly contrasted quite markedly from her role in "Notes On A Scandal" which we had watched the day before.
-
I like nice cotton socks. And nice cotton underpants, just like Benjamin Kritzer.
-
I never repeat "Idol" gossip
-
So listen carefully the first time
-
I like socks. My husband likes socks. My daughter likes socks. My son likes socks. Do you like socks?
DearReaderLaura Seuss ~ I like socks, too. I like socks in winter, I like socks with shoes. I do. But I don't like socks with sandels. So I don't like socks in summer, unless of course ther're worn with tennis shoes.
-
refreshing a page is most refreshing.
-
I also liked the performace of Daniel Bruhl in "Lavendar Ladies". I've only seen him before in "Goodbye Lenin".
-
Is Lavendar ladies the adult version of Lavendar Girl?
-
I'm pleased to see that the mutiple posting and refreshing has slowed down. I'll just check again to make certain.
-
Was Erin Dilly Dilly in Lavendar Ladies?
-
My dogs will do the next refreshing for me.
-
Miss Karen, perhaps your charming son (who's probably already visiting with his ever lovin') will show you how to do your amazon review RIGHT NOW.
He is charming, isn't he? ...You are all knowing, O Great Global Moderator, he was here for just over an hour and then he was out the door to see his ever lovin' -- BUT we did dicuss the review and he will help me post it wherever we can find places to post it when he returns...
-
The paws that refreshes . I think it was an old Coca Cola line.
-
I darre not ask DP Colin that FJL.
-
I think I'll report said multiple posters to the Global Moderator -- did you see that Dr Jane multiple posting in a row a page or two back? Shameless!!
You do realize, DR Miss Karen, that if (when, actually) you post only 10 more posts, you will attain the status of HHW God(dess)!! POST AWAY!! ;)
;D
-
I think Ms Dilly was in the mob scene.
-
Not that I'm paying attention to anything like that. ::)
:D
-
Oh, and guess what else Case will help me do? Post my avatar so I can prove I don't look like a bunch of little stars sitting on top of a tiny computer....
-
Remember from I LOVE LUCY: Ethel to Dilly, Ethel to Dilly.
-
Or was it Ethel to Tilly?
-
You do realize, DR Miss Karen, that if (when, actually) you post only 10 more posts, you will attain the status of HHW God(dess)!! POST AWAY!! ;)
;D
Me?! A Goddess?! Well, heck fire, I ain't proud, so here come the shameless, multiple posts....
-
Are we at page 15 yet?
-
two goals are better than one...
-
Not yet?
-
Yet.
-
PAGE 15 DANCE!!
-
and three are even better -- get to page 15, help bk with the hits total and reach Godess status..
-
Don't look Ethel.
-
Too late. She's already been mooned.
-
Whatever fred Mertz said -
-
oh, pooh, FJL, you stole my thunder on reaching page 15..well, I still have two goals left...
-
Ethel was NOT fat!
-
It's nearly 33 years since "The Streak" was #1 on 45.
-
Didn't fred Mertz have a mirror? Why was HE calling HER fat anyway?
-
Do I get to wear a toga and set on the left hand side of the Global Moderator when I become a god(dess)?
-
It was probably the (Ethel) alcohol talking.
-
Post #498 for God(dess)hood...
-
I wonder how many songs there are about Lucy"
Lucy and Jessie
Put Your Shoes on Lucy
Lucy in The Sky
-
Do I get to wear a toga and set on the left hand side of the Global Moderator when I become a god(dess)?
You can wear anything you want!
-
oh I entered the forum at an exciting time
-
I think I'll use Post #499 to report the multiple in a row post violators -- DR Karen, DR Jane, GM bk, DR Tomovaz, DR FJL...oh forget it, there are too many..
-
I was looking though some of the 69 pages of oscar excitement that I missed....
-
And Music Guy would probably add that Boo-Key can wear as little as he wants.
Ooh, me bad. :)
-
How about the slightly belated Page 15 Square Dance!!

I was thinking that! ::)
;D
-
Matt H-I’m glad Jeff is okay. Good vibes you don’t catch it now.
Thanks. I've been washing my hands all day. Thankfully, if I do get sick, I at least don't have to worry about missing work. Yep, I'll get behind on the housecleaning, but at least I won't have to send lesson plans. I really haven't been super sick since I retired (my back has gone out a couple of times, so I haven't truly gotten to enjoy the ability not to worry about providing work for students.
-
To look in the mirror, Mertz sayed he'd bend. Doesn't that mean something?
-
That needs a little body work.
-
We can get away with anything we'd want to say about Boo-Key/Case/Cason by making believe it's what MusicGuy would say, isn't that right?
:)
-
Will we never get to page fourteen?
There and passed.
-
we're in 15 going on 16
-
Before you enter the heavens DR Miss Karen, have you realised there are more Gods than there are underlings. Is it really worth joining a majority group.
-
I mean on 15 going on 16
-
Will we never get a post 500 from miss Karen....the suspense is thrilling!!
-
I learned the truth on page 16
-
oh dear pg 16!
DANCE FEVER!!!
-
Is there a spare seat in the clouds for DR Miss Karen or are people still stowing thrones.
-
We're on 16 going on 17
We know we need some hits
-
Early maturation DR FJL.
-
Miss karen wants to make post #500 really count, perhaps.
-
I finished THE GANG'S ALL HERE when I went back downstairs. The transfer is too dark for much of the movie thus robbing the color of brilliance.
In the featurette on Busby Berkeley, clips from the film are used that are a lot brighter and more vibrantly saturated than in the film proper. The bananas in "The Lady with the Tutti-Fruiti Hat" are much yellower in the clips than in the film, for example.
BK favorite Dr. Drew Casper also contributes commentary during the film, but I didn't get around to listening to any of it.
-
Is there a spare seat in the clouds for DR Miss Karen or are people still stowing thrones.
There will never NOT be room for anyone who ascends to the HHW Heavens!! :)
-
Yes that was maturation!
-
perhaps she is afk....(away from keyboard)
-
I put a little more Miss Karen on - isn't that a song from La Cage?
-
There will never NOT be room for anyone who ascends to the HHW Heavens!! :)
Especially someone as wonderful and clever and funny as Miss Karen... perhaps her son will also join her one fine day...
-
Of course there won't be trumpets - until post 501.
-
But there will be crumpets for tea.
Ok it is afternoon teas time here. As Ben's DP Ant knows "everything stops for tea"
-
Or jolly old tea and crumpet - what's that from?
-
There won't be crumpets and tea without you.
-
DR Cillaliz, welcome to NY! Glad you like the Edison. The coffee shop is a staple---many recording deals were signed there and it reeks of ambience.
DR Jose is right; I've stayed there many times and in a few instances have run into groups of noisy high school kids. But maybe you'll be OK since it's the middle of the week.
If you go out the south entrance, look to your left and you'll see a staircase that is probably roped off. It goes up to a very old recording studio that, when last I heard, was owned by Lenny Kravitz. I tried sneaking up there once but got busted. :-(
DR Edi, I know what staircase you are talking about and right now it isn't roped off. I was thinking of going up there tomorrow and if stopped acting like I'm just lost...I'll let you know if I see anything
-
My brother is singing an encore performance of "The Fishsticks Chorus" and Sassy is applauding wildly.
-
The Fishstick papers - isn't that by dickens?
-
IDOL tonight:
The singers who blazed forth last week did so again tonight. LaKisha was very smart in singing "Midnight Train to Georgia" with enough voice and sass without trying to overpower it into something more than it is. She can't come out and eat up the audience every week, so I found it a wise move to sing something familiar with her own spin on it but not oversung.
Melinda did a sensational "My Funny Valentine" that was the knockout rendition of the night for me. She is unquestionably my favorite in the competition this year. I called her number about an hour and a quarter after IDOL went off, and it was busy, so that's a great sign for her.
Alaina was weak (she whines when she sings), Leslie's song was a messy effort, Jordin's "Reflection" was up and down in quality, Gina sounded a tad sharp to me, and Haley's "Queen of the NIght" was very ordinary.
If I had to pick two going home, it would be Alaina and Leslie, but Antonella, Jordin, and Haley are also vulnerable
-
only 8:30 and I am tired....

Dear BK and other Dear Readers,
What are your feelings regarding toe socks? What about the practice of wearing socks with sandals? Do you prefer plain all-one-color socks or socks with patterns, stripes, and so on?
And why am I thinking about socks all of a sudden?
I wore toe socks 100 years ago when they first were a novelty. They made the skin between my toes hurt so I stopped wearing them
-
I have to perform a monolouge tomorrow in acting class, so bed will be early tonight...
-
Cilla - Any thoughts on a dinner place for tomorrow night? Somewhere near the theater, i hope?
-
I shall Do little but refresh after that FJL.
-
I wore toe socks once, and my toes got cold so I stopped wearing them. I am a wuss I suppose.
-
I watched the quiz show again where the contestant thought the Mexican/US border was longer than the Canada/US border. What these people don't know is truly embarrassing. (She graduated from college with a 3.3 GPR.)
-
My brother is singing an encore performance of "The Fishsticks Chorus" and Sassy is applauding wildly.
Yes. I can hear him also.
-
Anyone can fishstick, that's what they say
Greasy.
-
Aha, now i've learned the truth (at 17)
-
That love was meant for theater queens
-
LOST had a Hurley-based episode, and they're always interesting, both modern day and backstory. Really enjoyed the show tonight.
-
And mighty cods with fishstick grins
-
Thanks to our local sheriff, mugshots are now online. Here is the bad guy.
OMG!!! That's my uncle HARRY!!!!!!!
Just kidding
-
I value the Papermill for its near completeness (there are some cuts in "Loveland," and I think the mix is poor in a few spots. I was at the Folllies in concert event, but it wasn't FOLLIES for me: too upbeat, too many adjustments to the score to accommodate stars, and I thought Mandy Patinkin's ego way over the top in "Buddy's Blues." When Barbara Cook, at the end of the evening, said "I'm so glad I came," I thought, this ain't the FOLLIES I love. Sally is truly unhinged at the end, and the conclusion of the show should be unsettling and melancholic. Why do you think so many hated the original with such vehemence?
I feel the same about FOLLIES in Concert. Also, like DR Matt, I dislike Stritch's rendition of "Broadway Baby". The song became a in-joke, sung with a wink to the crowd. She didn't do right by it until she sang it in AT LIBERTY. And Carol Burnett's "I'm Still Here" was flat and vacant.
And while I appreciated the effort of the Papermill Playhouse recording, none of the performances were memorable with the exception of Ann Miller, and that was just because of her strange delivery.
-
At 17 i learned the truth
-
Since I need to watch THE BURMESE HARP at some point tomorrow, I'm relieved that the ratings sweeps month ended tonight. Tomorrow night, other than IDOL results, 30 ROCK and SCRUBS, we've got a night of reruns, so that should give me plenty of time to get that Criterion DVD watched.
-
Does Harry rhyme with Fairy or Marry or Gerry.(a NW Reference).
-
Refreshing pages on the phone
With posts whose numbers are unknown
-
Who call and say come post with me
It isn't all it seems
on 17
-
Cilla - Any thoughts on a dinner place for tomorrow night? Somewhere near the theater, i hope?
I will leave that up to you. I'm up for about any kind of food. Well, we had Mexican tonight, so anything else would be good. I agree on someplace close
-
Why all this posting frenzy? We should be refreshing.
-
And one for Campbell!
It's soup--not vomit!
-
And brown eyed girls in hand me downs
Who wore toe socks around the town
-
And one for vomit, then.
(That was a response to Dan the Man's post, of course. :) )
-
Boy is it warm in this room. I actually had to turn on the fan on the ac to cool it off a little. I think I found the knob on the heat, but we'll see. The bathroom is REALLY warm. Like a sauna. I kind of like that
-
Was Miss Karen offended by something, or is she just off refreshing?
-
I had a lovely dinner with DR Jose. It was very fun to see him again and chat and eat and chat and eat.
-
Janis Ian was lip synching a song here on TV and her guitar string broke. It was a funny moment! Boy she really tied one on.
Where is resident Janis Ian expert td?
Lipps Inc has destroyed ability to spell lips Synch.
-
Cilla - Do you have your ticket already, or do you have to pick it up at the theater? Either way, maybe we could all meet at the Hirschfeld theater at maybe 6:15 and find a convenient place from there. Unless you prefer to have a reservation somewhere?
-
In case Miss Karen was offended by something, I won't say: Didn't Lipps Inc do Bookeytown?
-
I'm beginning to tire of refreshing.
-
Maybe sing something by the Refreshmen?
-
bookeytown was enhanced in the studio by a pseudo echo. Or Did I just repeat that again again again.
-
Does Harry rhyme with Fairy or Marry or Gerry.(a NW Reference).
Mary.
;)
-
Perhaps DR Cason could audition for Camelot as a boo-key Knight.
-
A Taste of Honey did Bookey Ookey Ookey, of course.
-
Thanks to our local sheriff, mugshots are now online. Here is the bad guy.
DR Larua, I apologize for being flip when you first mentioned what happened--I didn't realize that how intense an event this turned out to be.
-
Perhaps DR Cason could audition for Camelot as a boo-key Knight.
I'd pay to see him as Lancelot! :D
-
Did George just call you Mary?
-
Did George just call you Mary?
:-X It wasn't my intent for that to be taken that way...but if the vowel sound fits. ::)
;)
-
The old grey Mary
She ain't what she useta be
-
And on that note (A-flat), I'm leaving. I think that I'll have some sort of Mexican food for dinner, since that's what's been mentioned today and it sounds good. Until later!
-
Robin Hood and His Mary Men.

Good Evening!
Ah, Erin Dilly - Truly one of my favorite people.

Robin Hood and His Mary Men.
Sounds good to me!
-
If we can't set a hits record for a month, can we still set it for a 30-day period?
-
In order to get on the top 50 poster's list I must post more posts than francois
-
which is only like 6 more....
-
At least refresh before you leave DR George. It's only polite.
-
Hi speed internet is weird because i finish all my usual work much faster and now have free time....
-
But Francois actually had thousands of posts from an earlier screen name.
-
must carry down stuff to the car.
-
Doo-chay, tomovoz, doo-chay. Very refreshing.
-
By George I type George incorrectly so often.
-
We are heartbreakingly close, but no ceegar yet - we have three hours, but unless we get a lot of GUESTS nosing around, I still don't know that we'll make it, even if we post another 100 posts. I mean, we're within 1400 "hits" - to give perspective - we've had about forty-five hundred hits already today.
-
Hmm... I guess I could join the gang for dinner tomorrow night too. And I'm also gonna see what's available at the box office - maybe my "day of" luck is still "active".
There a bunch of places over on 9th Ave that should be able to accommodate a small group with no reservations, so...
-
But, will we give up? NO! Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.
I'm watching an extremely unfunny comedy film entitled Any Wednesday. I wonder if it was funny back in the mid-60s?
-
A nice vowel movement can be quite refreshing as well, so thanks for that, George.
-
Cilla - Do you have your ticket already, or do you have to pick it up at the theater? Either way, maybe we could all meet at the Hirschfeld theater at maybe 6:15 and find a convenient place from there. Unless you prefer to have a reservation somewhere?
I have my ticket, but that's as good a meeting place as any. I'm cool with just finding a place that's close. See you tomorrow...and anyone else who wants to join us....
-
Has Miss Patti told everyone about her new computer. She is now mac-afied.
-
DR RLP has restarted also.
Born Again Gods.
-
It's A Hit It's A Hit
-
Back
-
No I have withheld the mac information
-
I'm heading down for bed now. Hopefully, I can sleep until I awaken naturally rather than being blasted out of the bed by a ringing telephone.
And I have a memorial service to attend tomorrow, too, so it promises to be a long day. I need my rest.
Good night!
-
We have a good thing going.
-
But I must say this 24 inch screen makes my eyes tired after a while....
-
Thanks to dear and helpful Bruce My pc to mac transition has been smooth and painless...for me anyway...
-
Only 1200 hits to go - we're making progress, damn it. I'm going out to get a couple of peanut butter cookies. We have a shot - it's a long shot, but we have a shot. Thus far, we actually have had 5400 hits today, or thereabouts. So, three hours is not the impossible dream.
-
So it is written, so it shall be done - page nineteen. This day could conceivably end up in the top ten.
-
Oh oh I am on the top 50 posters list!!!
-
Two dozen performaces of Sweeney Todd and you would have had a 24 finch scream.
-
I suppose I should go to bed soon, but I'm not that tired.....
-
I wonder where Miss Karen could have gone.....
-
I wonder, what is the effect of toe socks on the development of toe jam? Do they contribute to it's augmentation? Or not? I might be convinced to make the switch.
-
Where as our Miss Karen gone
Long Time passing.
-
REFRESH! That's what works. I just refreshed twenty times and watched the numbers go up - but I can see not too many others are refreshing. Or you can toggle back and forth between the main page and the current posting page. Or REFRESH.
We're now less than 1000 hits away. I'm going to say we now have a shot at this.
-
I expect this sort of posting excitement on saturday...which is going to be a very special day btw.....
-
I have been looking though peoples pages and posts and the archives rather than just refreshing
-
Isn't this cheating in a way...?
-
Cheating? Next one words will be considered unseemly!
-
make that "one word posts"
-
Everyone is so busy refreshing the posting has slowed down considerably
-
I am refreshing on my little handheld Palm TX which can browse without downloading images and can refresh much more quickly than my desktop.
Are we getting closer?
-
one word posts unseemly...
-
Good night
-
never.
-
I hope wherever Miss Karen is, she is having fun.
-
goodnight and thank you DR Vixmom (Vixmum)
-
DtM - indeed, handheld stuff can be refreshing, but we need more hits on the computer.
-
Did I really just say that?
-
Ten years ago, no one will know if anyone forced the records. Unless they read the posts, of course.
-
I meant ten years form now, not ten years ago. :)
-
Good Morning
-
Ten Years. Is That a Janis Eon?
-
Jose - nice tix available on broadwayoffers.com using the discount code from broadwaybox CUDMX84 for tomorrow night's CURTAINS. Unfortunately, it's not a steep discount.
-
Only about 800 hits away...
-
We are now a mere 800 hits away - not impossible, unless everyone else suddenly WUSSBURGERS as about six people have done in the eight minutes I was out getting my peanut butter cookies. We have two-and-a-half hours, however. Very doable.
Cheating? We don't need no stinking cheating. February - you want cheating - February is cheating and I think we have to show February that despite its cheating ways we will kick its ASS from here to eternity and hell and back.
-
I just caught up on DearReader Laura's scary adventure.... I dont think I would have had the nerve to call the cops while a gun was pointed at me
I strongly suspect I would have needed a change of clothes
I am very glad that you came out of it safe and sound

I have beeen reading though Ye Olde Notes...I must say the notes of recent are of a much longer format than years past.

The Vixter is participating in the 30 Hour Famine withher church youth group this weekend... they don't eat from noon Friday until 6 Pm on Saturday. Duringthe last few hours they stand in front of vaious supermarkets and collect canned goods and other non perishables for the local food pantries. Last year they (about 20 kids) raised nearly $4,000 and collected about 8 supermarket carts full of food.
You vibes are requested for the whole group

Here I sit waiting for DR Miss Karen to make those last posts and become the Goddess we know she already is! But dagnabit she just won't do it!
-
And yet her name sits atop this screen...like so much fish.
-
Jose - nice tix available on broadwayoffers.com using the discount code from broadwaybox CUDMX84 for tomorrow night's CURTAINS. Unfortunately, it's not a steep discount.
I'll just printout the Playbill.com and New York Times vouchers and bring them to the box office. -Or just see what's on TKTS.
Or I may just head home and catch the "Idol" results show and "Grey's Anatomy". ;)
-
I just watched two episodes of M SQUAD! This is really a fun show...one episode guest starred that hunky Ken Clark, star of 12 to the Moon and Attack of the Giant Leeches the second episode guest starred Diane Brewster who was one of the Beaver's teachers on Leave it to Beaver.

Oh, I just checked the online box-office, and, yes, indeed, there are some great seats available. It looks like the house row got released. I have to head to midtown in the morning, so I'll see what comes up at the Hirschfeld. -I'm not in the mood to pay a service/handling/convenience charge right now.
-
Just a little over 300 hits away now...
-
Famine vibes for the Vixter and company.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
We just recently discovered that the Vixter had never seen a single episode of The Honeymooners... Vixdad borrowed the Homeymooners CD from a friend and last night we showed her 2 episodes... the "$99,000 Answer" one... and the "Chef of the Future" one
Can it core a apple?
She laughed until she cried
-
Sandra, I have been sharing your preschool stories with the Vixter. She particularly liked the story of "Your Horse is My Mother".
She would like to know the rules of "Hit the Wall and Yell At the Boys"
-
I've been off the board and eating my evening meal! Where are the refreshments?
-
Here I sit waiting for DR Miss Karen to make those last posts and become the Goddess we know she already is! But dagnabit she just won't do it!
Post #500 -- Ah-hah, my Plan 9, or was it Plan 10 (perhaps Plan 20 since this is page 20) worked!! (insert evil laugh sound effect). If I had posted it back when you were all expecting it, you may have all gone to bed and left poor bk trying to met his hits total. I am the Goddess of the Least Expected. I shalt not do anyone's bidding -- that would be most unseemly and most un-Goddess like.
Besides, I was busy refreshing like a fiend since that was the mission tonight, and not multiple postings.
A goddess quote from "Goddess of Love" (TV 1988):
"I am not here for your cold roast chicken. I am here for your love." ~ Venus
Let me feel the love, all you HHWers~ Goddess Karen
-
YAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY CONGRATS!!!!!
-
Congratulations DR Miss Karen.
-
We bow down before Boo-key in your honor, Miss Karen.
Or at least Music Guy does.
Isn't Music Guy just scandalous?
:)
-
a lovely and goddess like plan dear Miss Karen
-
It's 501 that makes a Goddess, isn't it?
-
The Official Rules for Hit The Wall And Yell At The Boys:
It's a team sport, boys versus girls. The girls get into the playhouse. The boys run around outside the playhouse. Every once in a while, the boys pound on the wall. The girls hit the wall a fast as they can and then run to the doorway of the playhouse. They yell as loudly as they can at the boys. The boys run away.
Repeat.
-
Miss Karen, please deposit one more post to achieve Godessdom.
-
500 is a milestone, 501 is a Goddess, right?

You are correct, Sir.
-
So...
When do you think the ticket prices will "quietly" be raised to $120.00/121.25/122.50 per ticket?
:-\
*Although, I do have to say that when I was in LA for What If? I was very surprised that the regular top ticket price at the Pantages was already $125 - with the "regular" Premium seats going for $150 - for Hairspray. -And that was three years ago.
-
At least DR Jose offered to take DR MBarnum to India so he is selfless and willing to face competition.
-
Stiff competition, indeed.
-
Like I said, it's a very loud game, but a lot of fun. I always play on the girls team, of course.
The girls in my class are outnumbered four to ten, but they are LOUD.
-
And one for Murphy
-
(the soon-to-be Goddess)
-
eeek...I happen to think the top row seats in the balcony were wonderful for Hairspray (only 30 dollars). It allowed my row of friends plenty of dancing and singing aloud room. I must say the LA Audience was not pleased with our unruly behavior, yet it was encouraged in NY where we saw it twice and the cast thanked us personally for our energy afterwards.
-
And did any other DR happen to read Frank Bruni's review of the steakhouse/restaurant of the Penthouse Club in today's New York Times? He actually liked the steaks!
;)
Where Only the Salad Is Properly Dressed (http://events.nytimes.com/2007/02/28/dining/reviews/28rest.html?ref=dining)
*It's actually a very entertaining read.
-
"I was in LA for What if" sounds unseemly. A little like DR MusicGuy taking someone to Paris for What if.
I wonder how many of those "What If" DVDs are still out there.
-
..well, all that I wrote in Post #500, AND I was trying to wait for DR Book-Key to come home to help me post my avatar. I thought that would be most goddess like that on my Post #500 that my face would suddenly appear...so thanks alot Cason and Heather for spoiling my goddess vision for an inspired Post #500 -- I had to settle for some ol' stupid quote from a TV movie...most unseemly...
-
I really should go to bed...
-

I do recall the rather large difference in price between the orchestra and upper balcony seats. -And at least by sitting in the balcony, you're able to look at that wonderful ceiling. -Which, apparently, is not allowed to be photographed.
-
Congratulations, Miss Karen!
Cherry Cokes all around!
-
Heather? Who's Heather? and how many people are in this entourage that MusicGuy has to take to Europe?
-
And miss all the excitement? Only less than 100 hits to go...
-
It's 501 that makes a Goddess, isn't it?
No, it's the Goddess who makes the #501...
-
Heather? Who's Heather? and how many people are in this entourage that MusicGuy has to take to Europe?
Umm... Well.. Heather is his "niece"... Just like Cason is his "nephew"... And Miss Karen is his "friend".
-
Umm... Well.. Heather is his "niece"... Just like Cason is his "nephew"... And Miss Karen is his "friend".
No, Ms Karen is his Goddess!
-
Congrats on reaching the heavens Ms. Karen!!!
-
OOhh...So who else had Mexican food for dinner tonight?
I did! We went to Chipotle, which is a Mexican fast food chain that we had never tried. It was surprisingly good---the meat is organically grown on family farms, no chemicals or antibiotics. And a strong margarita!
-
DR Sandra , that sounds like a great game!
-
Two lisps and Heather. I think Perry Como sang that.
-
So is it Book-Key or Boo-Key?
-
Chipotle is part of the McDonald's family, am i right? (Seriously, that's what i heard.)
-
Welcome to Goddesshood, DR Miss Karen! (now that it's official and all...)
-
When the Vixter was turned 6 we had a birthday party for her, during which we set up her PlayHut popup playhouse and the Vixter and about 20 of her dearest and nearest little friends all crammed themselves in and began jumping up and down shouting "No boys allowed in here! No boys allowed in here!"
I suspect she would be a natural at "Hit the Wall and Yell at the Boys"
-
And we've hit the Hits goal!
-
And then there was this paragraph that caught my eye in an article/interview with Paul Deen:
IS mayonnaise the food lover’s Botox?
One look at Paula Deen, the Food Network’s face of Southern food, and you have to wonder. Ms. Deen may be best known for drinking straight melted butter on television, but she also soaks Krispy Kreme doughnuts with custard, deep-fries refrigerator biscuits, and isn’t above digging her diamond-crusted fingers into a bowl of pimento cheese to make sure the cream cheese is blending in smoothly. In one afternoon last week, making the Southern lunch classics that started her cooking career — ham salad, pimento cheese, and an irresistible egg salad mixed with saltines — she went through two full jars of mayonnaise.
"two full jars of mayonnaise"?!?!?!?!?
Now that's a LOT of mayo!

-
Isn't Music Guy just scandalous?
:)
Wickedly so -- but would we have him any other way? ..... (I know, I know, I left the door open for one of you to bring up butter ... probably Mr Music Guy when he sees this post...).... ;)
-
The story has changed. I heard Ronald McDonald was a Chippendale.
-
No, Ms Karen is his Goddess!
Umm.. Well... I don't think the authorities would accept "Goddess" as a proper form of familial relationship.
-
We dood it! We have now smashed every previous haineshisway.com record to smithereens. I knew we could - and we did it two hours before midnight.
Any Wednesday is bad - while I've been enduring it, I've been paging through the play - which is very cute and funny. The film spends twenty minutes setting up the plot - in the play, the audience understands the plot by the middle of page two.
-
Well, well, look what the cat just dragged in -- Boo-Key!! (timing is every thing...hurrump!)
-
The butter was for Tobey Maguire. Maybe he figures Cason comes fully buttered.
-
Well, the internet connection keeps going in and out tonight for some unknown reason... And since I am actually feeling sleepy right now - and it's not even 3:00AM yet?!?!? - I believe I shall head to bed.
Color me Wussburger.
It's been a wonderful February. March will be even better. -Well, at least longer. ;)
-
I guess it's nearly time for a hit and run then.
-
Zowie! 22 pages. Just dropped by to say hello.
-
Buttered Spiderman. That sound like a story from DR Sandra.
-
Bonne nuit
Oyasumi
Spokoinoi nochi
Magandang gabi
Oíche mhaith
Goodnight
-
Wasn't there a time when people were vying to take Jose and MBarnum to exotic places?
-
Well, now that we've reached our goal of hits (and yelled at the boys), I'm going to go to sleep. We have a busy day tomorrow at preschool.
Good night! And behave yourselves.
-
Well I must to bed... morning's coming....oh wait..it's already here
-
Friday I shall be headed west for a week or so in sunny California. I will be helping out at the Pac-10 men's and women's tournaments like I did a couple years back, some of you may recall. That means I have now been a HHW community member for over 2 years.
-
Congrats on reaching the heavens Ms. Karen!!!
Yes, it's lovely up here -- I feel like I'm on Cloud 9 -- or is that Cloud 10.... Hey, I think I can see Planet X from here...
-
Vixmom! Hello!!
-
Rodzinski - if you're gone, when does the Leading Men column appear? Or is it written already?
-
And now, dreamtime.
-

I do recall... and I fondly recall you helping a sleepless mother worrying over her kidling through a particularly dark night... thankyou again for that!
-
Don't say Oyasumi when there are lawyers present.
-
Fred, I almost have it finished. That's one reason I'm still awake.
-
I got paid. I went an ordered my own Brain!
-
....I'm pretty sure it is Planet X cause it resembles a giant cranium...
-
How long before I can start complaining I haven't received it yet?
-
I ordered it nearly a half hour ago and its not here yet!
-
That's right. I got back to my hotel in LA at like 2 am after getting some program pages to the printer, and I logged on to find vixmom online, which was a happy sight after a long day's work.
-
Still not here! Sheesh... what ever happened to customer service!!!
-
;D
-
So is it Book-Key or Boo-Key?
Boo-Key (short for Boo-Key Bear) and then there's Boo which is short for Boo-Key...
-

5 AM EST and I had been up for several hours .... I surely appreciated the company
-
I really MUST go to bed
-
I loved Cranium Command at Epcot. Wonder if that attraction is still there.
-
Come on Lucky 23, momma needs a new pair of shoes
-
My cranium is commanding me to go to sleep. Good night!
-
Roll them dice
-
23!!
-
And one for momma
-
Luck of the Goddess!
-
DIAL M FOR MOMMA - That's the title of soemthing, isn't it? Maybe an episode of Get Smart or something?
-
At least refresh before you leave DR George. It's only polite.
I did! ;D
-
DIAL M FOR MOMMA - That's the title of soemthing, isn't it?
Didn't Grace Kelly star as Big Momma in that one?
-
Or was that Queen Latifah?
-
Any Wednesday is finally over. Whew.
-
This day has been our sixth highest posting day ever.
-
If Rodzinski is still here - I hope you'll have time to sup.
-
When you're out here, that is.
-
This day has been our sixth highest posting day ever.
You must be one proud papa...
-
Will we ever get to page 24? (I figured now that I'm a Goddess, I can ask a question like that..)...
-
OMG, it really is late here in NYC!
Congrats to all on the hits record.
-
I'm just padding while waiting on my Goddess-like avatar to appear...
-
But i'm so close to 5600.
-
Might as well get there.
-
OK, that's it for me, but should i wiat to see miss k's avatar?
-

...that music from Jeopardy (the one while waiting for the final question) ...
-
Boo Key also has the initials BK - coincidence? :)
-
OK, that's it for me, but should i wiat to see miss k's avatar?
Do...do! ... oh, and congrats on #5600 .. man, this has been a record-breaking Wednesday...
-
Boo Key also has the initials BK - coincidence? :)
yes, a little "mini-me" for bk
-
now I'm whistling and drumming my fingers on the desk...
-
By George I type George incorrectly so often.
It wasn't me! I didn't have anything to do with it!! :o
:)
-
Really pulling out all the drums and whistles for this avatar, huh?
-
"I was in LA for What if" sounds unseemly. A little like DR MusicGuy taking someone to Paris for What if.
I wonder how many of those "What If" DVDs are still out there.
I still have mine! And I even made a DVD cover for it. And it looks like it could be a real DVD cover, too, if I do say so myself...and I do. ;)
-
Congratulations on FINALLY achiving HHW GOD(DESS)HOOD!! ;D
Muchas Gracis DR Jorge! Thanks to your eagle eye (not to be confused with evil eye) I might have entered Goddessdom without even knowing it -- no fanfare, no notice... zip...nada...
-
I got paid. I went an ordered my own Brain!
It's about freakin' time! You're gonna love it!! ;D
-
Now that was an avatar worth waiting for!
-

I'm told it's 2 AM here! Good night.
-
Now that was an avatar worth waiting for!
Hey, it got you to page 24...ahh, the luck of the Irish...
-
I'm really glad I was told to leave myself out of that picture...
Plausible deniability for me! Hee-hah!
-
But i'm so close to 5600.
Congrats on your double-zeros!

What a way to ring in March though...

Yes, Cason's dad is wearing, what did they call it on Seinfeld, a "manssiere" or was is "bro" -- and hey, it wasn't easy to find one that small...finally found this one in the Barbi section on ebay
-
Yes, I'm married to a little leprechaun who lives in a pot of gold... and it's true what they say, size doesn't matter, it's what you do with it...
I found him at the end of a rainbow -- it's really a romantic story (a bit involved to go into here but trust me you would have the box of tissues out by the end of the post...)...
-
Congrats on your double-zeros!
Does FJL wear a manssiere, too?!

Does FJL wear a manssiere, too?!

Will we ever get to page 25? ... (I'm pretending I'm bk's mini-me)....
-
Hee-hah! I don't know about FJL, but I bet R2-D2 does, Mammy...
-
Cason, take your mother directly to amazon, register her, and let her write her Brain review.
-
Will we ever get to page 25? ... (I'm pretending I'm bk's mini-me)....
Well, I think Pappy takes the cake as the ultimate "mini-me" this evening...or morning...shush, I'm still on LA time.
-
Cason, take your mother directly to amazon, register her, and let her write her Brain review.
Can do, oh fearless leader!
-
...must be something in the air up here on Cloud 9...I'm just giddy and can't seem to stop posting...I thought the Global Moderator would meet me at the Pearly Gate to personally welcome me in -- but no sign of him yet...
-
.. I see he's lurking and not posting...
-
oops, my apologies O Grand Pooh-Pah, you are indeed posting and not lurking -- you posted while I was typing that message -- me bad (hope that doesn't get me kicked off the cloud)...
-
Can do, oh fearless leader!
Yes, fearless leader, we will make haste to the review posting places....and will report back after we have completed our mission...
-

Miss Karen, becoming a HainesHisWay God(dess) is not so much literally going to the preverbial HHW Heavens, but more a sense of experiencing a new, enlightened state of being. Just revel in the knowledge that you're now "one of us!"
;D
-
Well, indeed it seems this is the report we get from Amazon:
To write a customer review: you must have used this account to complete a purchase* of an item from Amazon.com. Please wait 24 hours after your first purchase before writing a review.
* A purchase requirement is used to maintain review quality.
-
It does seem you have to purchase something off Amazon before you can ever write a review... no fun...
-
Quick! Buy something!
-
Sad to be all alone in the world...

That quote from the man who just posted "you are one of us"..."experiencing a new enlightened state of being" -- how could you ever feel you're all alone when you're a HHW God? Jorge, snap out it, you got the HHWers in your corner, man...
-
I've caught up!
To what?
-
O fearless leader, I posted on BabyCD or is that CDBaby -- whatever baby -- (they said it may be a while to come up cause they have to review my review) -- but amazon is gonna make me buy something ... the good news, it wasn't me, Cro-Magnon, afterall....it really won't let me post...
-
Guess we won't make it to page 26 cause I bet fearless leader is doing the new notes as I post this...
-
shameless pad post
