PHILLYQ

Has anyone suggested Eddie Jefferson yet?

Where is that barfing smilie when I need it-YUCK!!!

Maybe MLB is starting to deal with steroids effectively- I hope so, but MLB has spent 10 years deying any problems while some players have become, uh, 'inflated'. They should also test for Human Growth Hormone- some of those denying steroid use may have been using HGH. Chandra is on the right track to be skeptical, MLB has been busy denying the presence of the elephant in the room.

I saw it about 30 times when my son was about 2 years old. At that age, repetition rules!

The VHS of the movie is still lurking around my house somewhere. The release date was 1995. My then 3-year old boy loved it dearly.

In general, the older you are when you begin to learn a language the more difficult the task. Very young children are mutilingual easily, while for adults it is a lot more difficult. Is Finnish a Germanic language? I'm trying to understand what language it might sound like. The type of language can also make it more difficult to learn. Good luck with it.

Housing prices have gone up a lot in the last few years, but Brooklyn is great. I've lived here all my life and I love it. Easy access to Manhattan from almost anywhere in the borough, fresh mozzarella, plent of parks, fresh mozzarella, food from almost anywhere on the planet, fresh mozzarella, 4 seasons, fresh mozzarella, neighborhoods, fresh mozzarella, etc. Best of luck wherever you wind up. I did spend Labor Day weekend in Philly and liked it very much. They also have...fresh mozzarella!

Saturday was Salmon Teriyaki & Coconut Shrimp(New recipe, very good) with spinach sauteed in EV olive oil with lotsa garlic. Sunday was pork chops with a dry Cajun spice rub and some olive salad. OLIVE SALAD 1 small jar green olives with pimiento 1 small jar roasted peppers 2 pieces celery 1 clove garlic 4 tablespoons flat leaf parsley olive oil red wine vinegar Chop olives coarsely, chop everything else fine(minced). Mix with oil and vinegar, add salt, pepper & cayenne pepper. Let it sit for about 20 minutes. Eat & enjoy. Today was chicken, broccolli, string beans & red pepper stir-fried in my FLAT-BOTTOMED WOK with garlic, onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, red chili paste & coconut milk. never tried all of this at once, results were outstanding!

I don't shop there online because I can actually visit, but check out J&R- they have a lot of good deals.

THIS CAN ONLY MEAN THAT THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, there's been a lot of that lately! I really do hope that Brownie and Deus/Dizzy return eventually... everybody has a right to walk away for awhile (for whatever reason) without creating an uproar, but obviously they are much liked and much-missed around this joint. Hello there! I'm taking some time off from the Board. Enjoying life plus the gorgeous Spring weather B-) Can't believe that Berigan and Christern are shaking hands Will be back soon! I have got too many friends here! Greetings to all! This crowd's the Best Nice to see you back, Brownie- when you tell some of those stories about the many musicians you've encountered, I'm all ears. Please write a book- I'll buy it.

It may be a putrid pile of offal, but how does it compare with such classics as 'Barney's Christmas', 'Pokemon III' or 'Power Rangers- the Movie'

Also by JB, 'Love Power & Peace' - good for clearing the cobwebs(Play at high volume!)

Great news! Now go and knock 'em out! (Wish I could be there)

This recipe turned out DAMN good, by the way. I must have gotten lucky and timed it just right. Crispy skin (not for long after I tipped the chicken in the juices by accident), only a tiny hint of the heat of the chiles, and tender meat. It doesn't taste like Coke at all. This one is a definite keeper! Careful handling those habaneros- I once was chopping some, then washed my hands and thought I got all of it off. Then I took a leak, and it felt like somebody dropped ben-Gay in my shorts!(flaming smilie)

Tonight's dinner was chicken parts that I marinated from last night in fresh smashed garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil. baked at 400 for about an hour, very tasty and juicy. For the veggie I made sauteed mushrooms.

If you have jazz that you like, check out the individual players- is there a very good drummer, trumpet player, etc? If so, find recordings by that player as a leader, then do the same on those recordings. Over time, you'll discover a lot of great music. I started with John McLaughlin, moved on to Miles when I saw that McLaughlin was on a recording of Miles, then discovered tons of great people as a result.

Berigan, Happy Birthday and I hope all turns out well for you and yours. Various aliens and two-headed cats wish you well, also and thank you for posting their stories.

That would explain his girth...

hey wait a minute here ... isn't that guy on the left a law student on the west coast? the hat's throwin' me as i thought fer sure he was more inta hank than the count. The Count hat is for when he tries to convince her to sing naked in front of a big band!

Got an address for Dizzys or a url? 7/4, It's right by Lincoln Center, jalc.org

Plan 9 had paper plates as flying saucers! One of the 'actors', I believe a large wrestler, died during filming and was replaced by a guy about half his size. The replacement did keep his cape up to give the 'illusion' that he was much bigger. GA Russell, get ahold of it and watch it with some friends for a laugh- it's bigtime hoot.

SS1, Is that the cover to 'Legalize it'?

I should tell my sister to write a book about Blake now- she works in the LA County jail and gave him an EKG(I told her many times to give OJ a needle and write a book titled 'OJ, the Needle & Me'!) once, that may qualify as knowledge these days.

I forgot to mention that I received my Righteous Buddha discs from ScottB- many thanks for the great grooves contained therein.

Why didn't they just kick his ass and leave it at that? Now we have courts, schools, criminal records, etc. involved over a stupid prank. At least that's how folks settled stuff like that before we became lawsuit/arrest happy.
