Get It: 105 |
Vol. 1, No. 75 |
SHINING: Or shinning? ... have
you listened real close to the announcer on the show?
... I swear he says it both ways ... it's jes' drivin'
us crazy! ... "Come 'n take your medicine!"
... that was too creepy last night when the croquet ball
rolled down the hall ... my hair was standin' up ... 'n
that's purty good considerin' I only got one! ... we've
seen the movie several times but this really has it beat
to pieces ... 'course I'll never be able to watch Wings
the same way again ... 'n what can we do about that obnoxious
kid's lip? ... but speakin' o' movies ... we saw "The
Associate" with Whoopi Goldberg ... it was OK ...
kinda funny ... I did like the ending, though ... if all
the good movies are rented out then this would make an
OK fill-in ... right after the remake of "The Color
Purple" ... with it's new star, Barney.

HAPPY: Birthday ... did you
know that Hirohito, Emporor of Japan from 1926 to 1989,
was born on this day ... or Alexander II, Emporor of Russia
from 1855 to 1881 ... or William Randolph Hearst ... or
Duke Ellington ... or Zubin Mehta ... or Jean-Georges
Noverre ... that's right ... good ol' Jean-Georges ...
his friends used to call him JG ... he was a distinguished
French choreographer ... wrote a revolutionary paper "Lettres
sur la danse et sur les ballets (1760)" ... I jes'
finished it myself ... exellent piece o' work ... brought
tears to my eyes ... 'cuz it was written in French ...
I kept lookin' for the fries ... couldn't find 'em ...
anyway ... it brought about major changes in ballet production
... stressed dramatic motivation insteado' technical skills
... is he the same guy that invented the men's leotard?
... next time you're watchin' the ballet remember JG ...
when the lead male dancer misses his partner who he jes'
tossed up in the air ... who says I ain't got no class
... betcha didn't hear 'bout this in your daily rag now
didja?

REMINDERS: Only one day left
in April ... can ya believe it? ... it seems like this
month jes' didn't hardly exist ... now it's May ... which
brings me to another holiday reminder ... children ...
husbands ... listen up ... Mother's Day is jes' 'round
the corner! ... it's May 11th ... that's right ... it's
on a Sunday this year ... how convenient ... now you've
got almost 2 weeks to find somethin' a little special
for your mom ... your wife ... that's right ... your wife
... I know ... I know ... she's not your mother! ... but
try usin' that on 'er when she says "where's my present
from you!" ... that's prob'ly 'bout the dumbest thing
a man can do ... besides havin' an affair with Lorena
Bobbitt ... scoot right on over to the card store on your
lunch hour ... pick out a nice, mushy card for the wife
... a sentimental thought for your mom ... (jes' be sure
'n send the right one to the right place or you'll really
be in a pickle) ... how 'bout takin' your sweetie to a
nice brunch? ... mmmmmmmm ... that way you can get some
bennies too! ... nobody said ya couldn't cash in on somebody
else's day! ... then take off for a round 'o golf ...

out cookin' up a nice evenin' meal ... that'll be jes'
'bout ready when you finish up the 18th ... stop by 'n
pick up a 6 pack o' your fav'rite frosty beverage ...
remember to share one with WP ... 'n for you bosses out

... it'll take more'n a lunch or two to make up for a
forgotten Mother's Day!
