yep.
it is a great movie.
and i just remembered that i played and recorded probably the most difficult scott joplin rag he wrote.
Corvin: The Scott Joplin "ragtime" music was not written for the movie, it was adapted by Marvin Hamlisch who did a brilliant job - as did our own Farkel - playing it. Joplin was a black composer who died in 1917.
Yes, NPY....we really should chat sometime...I'm not blonde or 25 either, but that doesn't seem to be holding me back much. PM me.
Oh, and bet those toes look terrific!
yep.

You don't know what it means when a woman "bites her toes"??? Jezus, why don't you two just get it on already?? All this foreplay can't be good for you.
Oh and the Joplin is superb.
i am getting news from jws who have attended the district convention that the drama (which is pre-recorded and played to lip-syncing actors) has a demon-possessed woman with a ?demonic voice?.
can anyone confirm this?
it is said to be pretty creepy sound effect and many jws are uncomfortable when they hear it.
They recycled the Paul Drama from 1973 (4?)?? I was in that one. The "Demonized Girl" was my best friend. She called out after Paul:
"These men are slaves of the Most High God, and are publishing to you the way of salvation..." I'll never forget those lines, or mine either. We rehearsed three nights a week and the drama (at least that version) was over 2 hours long. We aged Paul by spraying his hair with more and more gray as the drama went on.
Stephen's speech just before he was stoned was one of the longest and the brother who had to memorize it wasn't all that bright. It took him months to learn the part.
BTW, I played Eunice - young Timothy's mother. My "husband" was a Greek, so I got to wear a somewhat sexy outfit with lots of jewelry.
I can't believe they can't come up with something original.

at least his wife says so.
this is confirmed.
i may talk with him this week, if he is up to it.
(((((((((((((((((Maximus and family)))))))))))))))))))))
Get well soon, OK?
You too, Craig.
sixy is not remotely involved in the recent complaints about an alleged over-amorous poster at this site.. .
his name was never mentioned by the complainants.. .
to those people who would malign others by false accusations, shame on you all!.
Thanks for posting this E-man.
I think we expect this kind of thing from certain places and people. But let's be honest - this could have been avoided if things had been handled differently.
Vague posts about "certain people we all know, trusted posters...." are rife for speculation and I'm not surprised at all that some less honorable people ran with it.
Would it not perhaps be better in the future, if someone is truly concerned for their fellow-posters to simply state something more general such as:
"It has been my experience that everyone on the internet should be careful about whom they trust and how intimate they become, lest they are taken advantage of...."
A person who reveals that they are lonely and in an unhappy relationship might as well be a goat staked to a tree in the jungle. The lions will find it every time.

i cannot compete with threads anymore.
they beat me!
threads about pit bulls and other dogs and virginity get all the attention.
Awww, and I was just thinking how good it was to have you back. Your recent posts have been very relevant and thought provoking. Please don't measure their worth by how long they stay on page one.
You and I both know that a great concert performance of Rachmaninoff will never fill the kind of arena Brittany Spears can sell out. Just because something is popular or entertaining does not mean it has long-lasting value.
I'd hate to think the Discovery Channel will give up just because CBS's Survivor gets better ratings.
Hang in there, Fark. We still need you, even if we don't always get around to telling you so.

some people say it's their music; expression of heart and soul.. some people say it's their research; expression of their mind.. some people say it's fishing; absence of expression of anything...just living in the moment.. some people say "it's because i'm on a db, expressing myself.
for myself: creativity is finding something where nothing was before...and then discovering that it was already discovered.
It is also knowing that real creativity cannot be described nor defined. It just IS.
....Like "quality". That's why I loved reading "Zen, and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance."
I will leave behind two functional, well-adjusted, and relatively happy human beings. That's enough for me.
jt in one of his many classic posts pointed out that a common expression in bethel whenever a new publication would come out would be "which way is the society leaning in this article?
" this was also heard at the kingdom halls i attended.
i'm sure it is still heard today in dubland.. one has to wonder why the only true organization chosen by the king jesus christ himself would have to "lean" at all.
why don't they just come out and say stuff?
Because this really IS Bible-based! The Bible never comes right out and says stuff. It says,
"In the beginning, the Word was, and the word was God/Divine, and the Word was The Divine Miss M, and the Word may or may not actually be God, depending on which translation you read, and the Word was not God, but was part of a Trinity but only if you are Catholic...."
And God said, "Let them worry about it for the next several centuries and if they get it right they can live, but if they get it wrong I'll fry their sorry asses."
And his Son said, "Oh yeah? You think you have them confused? Wait until I send the vision to John on Patmos!"

isn't this special?
this is an e mail making the rounds......
remember the letter that was read to all congregations regarding going out to get food during the break.
"Go to the Convwention, no matter what"
I hear that, Cyber-susta".
I was often assigned to First Aid because of some medial training in my past. It never failed: we'd see a few cases of some sort of serious flu on the first day. By Sunday, a large percentage of attendees would be infected because no one would stay home, even if they had a fever of 103 F. These people would drag themselves into the crowd. laden with germs so they could hear Jehovah's wisdom dispensed through their delirium.
The beds in First Aid were supposed to be reserved for those with true emergencies - heart irregularities, falls, cuts, etc. Instead, they would be taken up with people who should have stayed home in the first place.
(At least, the First Aid Department was usually air conditioned and had a handy toilet.)

I can remember many of these stupid "rules" coming out in the KM in the months before the convention. Even as a faithful Dub, I used to chafe against these silly restrictions.
In many areas of the country, families travel a great distance to attend a convention. This means staying in a motel/hotel and packing everything with you. The difficulty of preparing a bag lunch for a family in a hotel room (most of which do not have refrigeration or kitchens) is a strategic nightmare.
Think of the poor typical sister who has to get up about 5am to get her kids washed, dressed, fed, and prepared for an intollerably long day of sitting on uncomfortable chairs. If her husband is a "good Brother", he'll probably have an assignment and leave her alone all day with her squiming brood of unhappy children. She's got to find a way to feed her family AND her busy husband some kind of food that does not need refrigeration. Remember, Brothers and Sisters, large coolers cannot be brought into the stadium!
Jehovah forbid she takes them to the local McD's where they can let off a little energy in the Ronald McDonald Playland before the afternoon session.
The Pharasees could have learned a thing or two from the GB about adding unnecessary burdens to the flock.
