I always thought it was a crime that the scene in Mata Hari that Garbo wore this diaphanous nightgown in was cut by Hays, and never has shown up in any version I have seen, just this still photo! Well, can't seem to get the photo to upload, so will just do it this way! Photo from the book Hollywood Portraits: Classic scene stills, 1929-1941 isbn 086124432x

Damn!!!! last lines....The timing raised eyebrows. "It's kind of peculiar. He wrecked on Friday the 13th and 19 years later he started talking on Friday the 13th," Jerry Wallis said.

Sorry to chime in without a recommendation, but it was funny to see on the general music discussion page the headline.... Jul 8 2003, 09:53 AM In: Good turntable for $10...

Gee, they kinda do look related in those two shots! Gee, and so does Vijay, huh?

3. Roland Kirk. "Our Love Is Here To Stay" (from Introducing Roland Kirk, Argo). Kirk, manzello; William Burton, piano; Don Garrett, bass; Sonny Brown, drums. The instrument sounded like a soprano saxophone. I don't know if it was Steve Lacy or a guy I read about who plays about three or four instruments. He projected a lot of feeling. At first, the rhythm section wasn't quite together. In spite of that, he was saying what he had to say right along. Through him, I think maybe I could learn to like this sound. He had a lot of control, and a soprano sax is a very hard instrument to play, especially trying to keep it in tune. I don't really know if it was a soprano, but I liked it - his part. If it wasn't a soprano, it was an oboe. For the soloist, two stars. No, he was better than that. Let me add one. Three stars. so, soprano, oboe????

Errant drive finds sand trap Teen flips SUV while `doing doughnuts' on course By ERIC HANSON Copyright 2003 Houston Chronicle Special to the Chronicle A 2002 Ford Explorer rests on its roof on the sixth hole of the Cinco Ranch golf course Thursday morning. The driver, a 17-year-old boy, has been charged with felony criminal mischief. Police estimate damage to the course at $15,000. The par-5 sixth hole at the Golf Club at Cinco Ranch is 532 yards long, with water on the left and a fairway bunker on the right. But on Thursday, an inverted Ford Explorer created a new obstacle across the front of the green. "We actually had a few ladies who hit their approach shots over the car," said Karl Ludeke, general manager of the course. The upside-down sport utility vehicle was a temporary hazard that a handful of golfers had to overcome Thursday before it was uprighted and towed away. Ludeke said a 17-year-old boy drove the Ford onto the course and made several tight circles on the green before one of the wheels slipped over the lip of the bunker and the vehicle flipped over. The teen, Parker Allen Dial, of 22000 Wickfield, was charged with felony criminal mischief, said Sgt. James Owen of the Harris County Precinct 5 Constable's office. It was the third time in recent weeks that someone has decided to, literally, drive the fairways of the course, which is crossed by the Fort Bend-Harris county line near Katy. "Usually it happens when school gets out or at spring break," Ludeke said. Thursday's vandalism occurred a few minutes after midnight. When employees arrived for work in the pre-dawn hours, they found at the clubhouse a note from the teen's father explaining what happened. Course employees called police and at about the same time officers arrived, the man and his son also showed up, Ludeke said. "The police told me that the boy was mad and just wanted to tear some (stuff) up," Ludeke said. Sgt. Jason McDaniel of the constable's office said the teen did about $15,000 worth of damage. Vandals, he said, often operate in a group but in this instance it was just one person. "Usually when they do something like that it's with their buddies," McDaniel said. Course maintenance crews planted new sod on the damaged right side of the green, moved the pin to the left, and the hole was open for play all day, Ludeke said. Although a few golfers tried to hit over the 2002 Explorer, most of the players simply picked up their balls when they got near the green and walked over to the next tee box. "So they were only able to play 17 and a half holes," Ludeke added. He said the course's maintenance staff will not know for several days whether the entire green needs to be replaced. "Our main goal is to get in shape for play this weekend and early next week so that we can assess whether we need to completely rebuild the green or resurface just half of it," Ludeke said. People often do not realize how much work and money goes into the growth and care of the grass of a golf course, he said. "It's frustrating," Ludeke said. "Now we got a kid doing doughnuts on it and just destroying it and not even realizing what he is doing." http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/front/1979868

I am only mentioning this of course because Aric likes her so, but if one watches this film, towards the end of the movie, she is wearing a fairly sheer nightgown...and when she storms out of the room, you can see her butt cheeks! I happened to have taped the movie when I noticed this fact, ran the tape back, adjusted the brightness on the screen, and wondered aloud how that got past the censors! Fiddled some more with the contrast....

Well, he is smiling all the way to several banks!

Gee, they kinda do look related in those two shots!

It may have been a problem because of being signed in on ebay, and that link would be different than if I searched for you...just a thought...here is the linky dink.... http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?View...5&since=-1&rd=1

Pryan, glad it arrived!!!!!

That's only logical, since one can already get a life sentence for spitting on a police agent: Man gets life in prison for spitting (cnn.com) I was going to say that was waaaaay too harsh, but then saw that one of his past convictions was for wife beating...so he is reaping what he sowed....

It is my understanding that the Dodge Caravan is 18 years old, not its owner. ohhhh....My eyes saw 18-year-old Dodge Caravan and thought that was his street name! :rsmile:

Never No Lament the Blanton-Webster Band Funny, I thought I had read something about this on the board awhile back, but could not find it... I listened to a few tracks at Barnes and Noble a few weeks back, and could not believe how bad it sounded! Not just some surface noise, more like someone found some worn out records at goodwill and thought how much time and money they could save just creating cds from those discs! I don't know why I didn't mention it sooner, and just did a quick check of the reviews and saw they were decidedly mixed, even the packaging is rough inside, it appears. Did anyone hear if this was as someone mentioned in a review at Amazon a production error? Amazing if this is what BMG/RCA really planned to put out.... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...ustomer-reviews

Even my mother, whose hands are not of the most flexible, has no problem getting out the most recalcitrant CD by just shoving in the centre 'til it pops out. And it 'never did her any harm' etc. Just got my disc 4! Yea Mosaic! I shall now put on my inspector Berigan cap and figure out why the hell I broke a cd....lets see know, just took out disc 3, no problem...open the trim 2 cd case up, put disc 4 in, now try to take it out...same problem!(well, didn't break the disc at least!) Checked out the inner disc on other cases in the set, and this seems to be a problem, to a lesser extent on all of them. It seems that when you open the case so that the inner portion of the tray is out of the cd case, there is little support...you don't want to break the cd case, but I will worry less about this in the future! The centers don't seem to want to compress, either. I will also gently loosen the teeth that hold the cd in place. Never noticed them on these sets before, but they are fairly long, and alternate ...4 will flex on one side, but not on the other(Do jazz nuts know how to waste time, or what? ) One of the hold down tabs is already stressed, turning white, so perhaps I will just get some cheap 2 cd cases, and replace these...No doubt Mosaic does not like the discs to pop out like many 2 cd cases do....and spends more for these, but these are too good! By the by, I have replaced 100's of cd cases for being cracked, yellow, gummy, evil, what have you...so I felt really stupid for cracking a cd!

Yes, they are getting thicker than thieves as of late, and now I have gotten a paypal one as well....I have a friend that really, and truly feels that this type of sorriness is worthy of the death penalty.

How does an 18 year old get at least 80,000???? "Dad, I have this dream....." Yes, an absolute, complete waste of money. Of course, the $230,000 for a 2003 Aston Martin Vanquish's 1,200-watt system, is pretty damn close...at least I would assume it would put out a sound I would want to hear....

Hell, everyone chip in a quarter to help buy a few cans of beans and I'll take the sucker on! Your poor, poor wife!

From noted website, scrappleface.com 'Do Not Call' Registry Funded by Email Address Sales (2003-06-27) -- The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced today that it will fund the new "Do Not Call" registry by selling the email addresses of registrants to Internet-based marketing companies. The plan should save taxpayers millions of dollars, and spur the online economy. An unnamed spokesman said the FTC will continue to protect the privacy of American consumers by requiring Internet marketers to phone each person to get verbal permission before sending any offers via email

This explains sooo much!

2 Mil a minute eh? I think the big point about his condition is that Cali's next gov is 55, or well into AARP territory

There were several books on the subject, 'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy was the title of the first one! I really probably should have my hearing checked....when I was quite young, I heard this song Play That Funky Music (White Boy) from Wild Cherry...I excitedly told my friends at school the next day, "Have you heard that song? Play that FUCKING music white boy? I was told even by the 5 year olds that I was wrong....Metallica's "Wherever I May Roam" has a line that is Rover Wanderer Nomad Vagabond Call me what you will Before I got the cd, I naturally assumed is was No man bag a bones, tell me what to wear! For the both of you who like Megadeth like I do, Devil's Island, sounded like Devil's eyelids to a friend of mine, and everytime I hear the song, that really does sound like what Dave was singing!

Have to chime in with praise as well for Bringing up Baby...the film that finished her career at RKO, and Hollywood for awhile, yet when you see it today, you just can't figure it out....Oh, and Adam's Rib was mentioned as well, very good film....Like Mnytime said, TCM will no doubt run many films, and these will be shown for sure...well, just checked and they already have it set up, and a rememberance from Robert Osbourne...Strange, no African Queen...that Docu I remember being very good, because she herself narrates it! IN MEMORY OF KATHARINE HEPBURN TCM revises its schedule on Thursday, July 10th to pay tribute to Katharine Hepburn, 1907-2003 Schedule for July 10th: 6:00 AM Mary of Scotland ('36) 8:15 AM Holiday ('38) 10:00 AM Woman of the Year ('42) 12:00 PM Adam's Rib ('49) 2:00 PM Pat and Mike ('52) 4:00 PM The Lion in Winter ('68) 6:30 PM Katharine Hepburn: All About Me 8:00 PM Bringing Up Baby ('38) 10:00 PM The Philadelphia Story ('40) 12:00 AM Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? ('67) 2:00 AM Little Women ('33) 4:00 AM Undercurrent ('46) A Fond Memory by Robert Osborne Call it a schoolboy whim, call it madness, but I once had the nerve to ask Katharine Hepburn to dinner. I'd never met her, mind you, but does a reason like that ever stop a cheeky college boy, filled with the flush of being 18? At the time, I was an undergraduate at the University of Washington, and Hepburn was in Seattle on tour in a play. Hepburn! Live! In my town! It was too good to be true. It also seemed to be my mission to entertain her. She was, after all, a visitor in my domain, probably didn't know a soul in Seattle and wouldn't have a clue on how to fill those empty hours when she wouldn't be on stage. It was clearly up to me to rescue her. (Oh, the way the brain works when one is 18!). I tried to do it in an MGManner. I took some flowers to the front desk at her hotel (the local papers had mentioned where she was staying), and enclosed a note with an invitation to dinner at a spiffy restaurant (one I could ill afford but, well, I'd worry about that later). And I waited. And waited. Silence. Hmmm, there must have been a breakdown in communication. So I bought a second bouquet, though a smaller one, out of financial necessity, again enclosing a note to my pal Kate. (By now, in my mind, we were old, old friends or, at least, about to be.) Still no reply . A third bouquet didn't bring any better results. Then, soon after, the play ended, and Miss Hepburn and her fellow actors left town and moved on to the next engagement. I was crushed, then chagrined, then disappointed, then disenchanted. Never once did wisdom become a part of the equation. My only relief was the fact there'd been no restaurant bill to pay. But, as often happens with 18 year olds, I soon forgot about the episode, and moved on to some other pursuit. And then one day a letter arrived, with the logo of a prestigious Seattle hotel in the left hand corner. And inside were some words I've treasured ever since. The note read, "You are certainly very enthusiastic, and one quality I have enormous regard for is enthusiasm but, alas, in this instance I cannot respond - except to thank you for your beautiful red roses - they are particularly lovely ones - and to tell you that I never go out anywhere - but thank you for asking me. I have dinner before the play and I have to go home and go to bed afterward - otherwise I should die of exhaustion. I am sorry to disappoint you. But I'm not too sure it's a good idea for a young man to go about asking strange actresses to supper. Yours faithfully, Katharine Hepburn." Has anyone had their knuckles rapped with more class and style? I doubt it. Style and class have always been synonymous with Miss Hepburn. In honor of her memory, TCM will show 11 of her films and one documentary on Thursday, July 10th beginning at 6:00 am ET. (see schedule above). by Robert Osborne

What, no Jim Hart? Well, then I have to go to Montana, even as an old man with KC, you just expected him to pull victories out of his ass, which he did some of the time....
