mikeweil Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Use only genuine Italian hard grain wheat pasta, of course! If you intend to still cook them after wear, refrain from using any fragrances ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulstation1 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 MTM was hot in the DVD tv series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Not just hot, but viciously, aggressively enticing. "Perky" probably means different things to different people, but to me it's essentially a flat-line of possibilities. Laura Petrie was indeed perky, but dammit, she had all the these facial inflections that conveyed the sense of if you want more of this, ok, keep on gettin' more of it, it's here, and don't think there's any end to it, because you'll die before you get to there. The more you get it, the more I'll make you want it. Not particularly broad, but infinitely deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Interesting. MTM isn't that for me, but Eva Longoria or Sade is, so I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Not MTM, Laura Petrie. MTM is somebody else, it seems, although not without flashes of Laura Petrie. MTM is probably a pretty complex creature. She (MTM) was brilliant in Ordinary People, I thought, but so was Dexter Gordon in 'Round Midnight, if you know what I mean. All speculation of course.

JSngry Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 This is a remarkable photo, I think, of MTM taking a break from being Laura Petrie, on set, in color. It definitely looks like MTM, not Laura Petrie, and there is a world of difference. I think she's beautiful here, but she's definitely not Laura Petrie, although in a few minutes, she was probably going to go back to being her. http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_lbwhryD5hL1qcra2do1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJP67HANH6OVWEMMQ&Expires=1414016256&Signature=TMiLibzo0ZDYN%2Brbo4zBSlqPYH0%3D#_=_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I understand the difference. Back in the late '70s I went to work one day and remarked I should send Mary an apology for what I did in the dream last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 To Mary or to Laura? Or to "Mary"? It's complicated, until its not, and then its soooo simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 To Mary. The others are 2nd and 3rd string but not to be disregarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 On some of the earlier DVDS episodes the announcer pronounces her last name as "moo-er", then all of a sudden it turns into "more". What was up with all/any of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim R Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 On some of the earlier DVDS episodes the announcer pronounces her last name as "moo-er", then all of a sudden it turns into "more". What was up with all/any of that? Don't know. Could it have anything to do with the ottoman-dodging change, or the change to the hipper theme music? I prefer "moo-er" (or "moor"). Seems like it was intended that way (I mean, there are two O's), and requires the speaker to make more of an effort and show that they care. I say burn a few extra calories and put the "oo" in there (or "Ooh", like you say when you see a nice spaghetti dress). Fast-forwarding to the present, I've noticed that some announcers/analysts are pronouncing the last name of the Giants' Michael Morse as "Morris". One of them is Duane Kuiper, who is the Giants' LEAD announcer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Only, "moo-er" makes her sound like a cow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
