RALPHFEST Questionnaire	Bill T.	21/07/08 4:14
Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes! -- Jeanne, 21/07/08 5:31 Mine. -- the Chronicler, 21/07/08 6:33 LOL, Chron! Cats are totally indifferent to human suffering. As long as their food bowl is full and their litter box is emptied regularly we could puke out guts out and die for all they care. I would suggest that if it is Fall for everyone, remember, this is Seattle and it is pretty far north, so I would recommend from just after Labor Day to no later than October 15 - we are known for incredible weather in September and early October (Indian Summer). (NT) -- Bill T., 21/07/08 7:21 Just moving Bill's brilliant suggestion up to to the top so the Ralphies will see it. (NT) -- Jeanne, 21/07/08 6:36 Oh, boy! Just reading Jeanne's response I know she and I will make this thing happen! (NT) -- Bill "1st Annual Ralphfest Queen" T., 21/07/08 7:17 You betcha! (NT) -- Jeanne, 21/07/08 7:31 Ya, right! ...Our Mistress Kim on a plane?? (NT) -- Pullease., 21/07/08 8:07 You can forget a plane, but there's a ship that stops in California every month or so. After that: have train ticket will travel. (NT) -- Kim, 21/07/08 10:57 RalphFest -- Kathy, 21/07/08 6:56 Look, Kathy, if we have to get on "Oprah" and have her give us funds for this, we'll do it, I would even PROSTITUTE myself to become a total 'Ho o' Babylon on talk shows to get the money to put this thang together. Even if we to charter one of those jets that can transport someone in an iron lung (I'm thinking of Susie Q.) it'll happen. BTW, Canadians: cheap flights from Toronto to Vancouver, B.C., then a $39.00 roundtrip train fare on Amtrak's really nice Mount Baker Express to Seattle.....scenic trip, too! (NT) -- Bill "Fly Me" T., 21/07/08 7:25 Susi Q is in an iron lung? (NT) -- Jeanne, concerned, 21/07/08 7:33 Not that I know of. I know she's having some health problems but it's just my way of talkin' (said in a Thelma Ritter voice); my innate hyperbole, you know. (NT) -- Bill "Sorry About That, Chief" T., 21/07/08 7:40 Bless you, Bill -- Kathy, 21/07/08 7:50 I'll get my doctor to triple my Rx for Lyrica/Pregbalin so we can dope you up into a party mood, Fibromyalgia or not! (NT) -- Bill "Dr. Feelgood" T., 21/07/08 7:56 I guess even I have to post anwers, right? -- Bill T., 21/07/08 7:39 Posting to move "little sister" here to the top o' the board. (NT) -- Sybil, 21/07/08 8:01 RalphFest will be the biggest thing to hit Seattle since the 1891 tsunami! Since the 1962 World's Fair! Since Bill Gates!! Unless you think we should hold it in that Italian village where they throw the tomatoes? (NT) -- Jeanne, 21/07/08 8:56 Kim, you in? (NT) -- Jeanne, 21/07/08 10:32 But of course! Just give me a while to save up boat fare and I shall be there in my best Ferragamo pumps! (NT) -- Kim, 21/07/08 11:03 Can you work your passage as ship's nurse? (NT) -- Jeanne, 21/07/08 13:34 The question is: do I want to? And the answer is....... -- Kim, 21/07/08 17:33 This is an awesome idea! -- Karen, 21/07/08 14:46 Er, Karen, you're not arriving on a bicycle, are you? (NT) -- Jeanne, 21/07/08 21:47 Why am I picturing an Agatha Christie-style crime scene? And, if this is the case, will Nigel Havers be there to spit on Jeanne again? (NT) -- Kim, 21/07/08 22:33 Oh, boy! Jeanne, Kim, Me, Chron, Karen and Kathy (either doped up on Lyrica/Pregbalin or via electronic transmission) are in. Hooray. Amy, TOBY....Air Canada has convenient flights from Toronto to Vancouver, and a bunch of us drunks can come up to Vancouver and pick you up at the arrival gate at YVR and we can all buy tax free liquor at the border. We'll need a designated driver though. (NT) -- Bill "Passenger Only on That Road Trip" T., 22/07/08 3:20 I don't drive but I can probably get us hotel rooms at a discount. (NT) -- Jeanne, 22/07/08 5:29 I drive....I have had a valid Washington State Driver's License since 1970 and I've never had a moving violation - so I'll drive as I know everything from Portland, OR up to Vancouver, BC like the back of my wrinkled old hand. (NT) -- Bill "Your Driver - Safe, Reliable, Courteous" T., 22/07/08 11:11 Hey Teller! What about you? Are we going to share dark beer and an anchovy pizza in Seattle sometime in the autumn of '09? (NT) -- Jeanne, 22/07/08 12:26 Hey, where IS Teller? I don't think we've heard from him in some time? Perhaps he's taken Mrs Teller on vacation while the Summer weather is good? (NT) -- Kim, 22/07/08 13:50
One-Question Questionnaire	Kathy	21/07/08 18:53
Well.... -- Kim, 21/07/08 22:45 Kim, were you at St Thomas's Hospital? Isn't that where Richar4d Gordon set his "Doctor" series? No wonder high spirits were encouraged! (NT) -- Jeanne, 22/07/08 5:25 I think he set it at Barts. But we made them look like a pack of conservative dullards! (NT) -- Kim, 22/07/08 11:12 My Answer(s) -- Bill T., 22/07/08 3:47
The new pic kinda makes you want a beer or maybe a keg	Teller	18/07/08 10:06
We must thank Bill for this. Isn't it a treeasure? Now, where's my hipflask?? (NT) -- Kim, 18/07/08 10:20 "Treeasure??" I'm glad the new keyboard hasn't interferred with my excellent typing....*thud* (NT) -- Kim, 18/07/08 10:21 "Candy is Dandy -but Liquor is Quicker"! ...And with these beauts, booze is the least of their men's problem! (NT) -- the Chronicler, 18/07/08 10:53 Yes, there are time (for both sexes) when beer goggles are your friend. (NT) -- Kim, 18/07/08 22:40 Kimmy, we all know you like a good drinkie...... -- Bill T., 19/07/08 5:18 A site dedicated to Australians out drinking? Why bother, you can go out to any pub anywhere in the world and watch that sort of thing live. And you can even join in - we're a friendly people. (NT) -- Kim, 19/07/08 6:21 Kim, here's the video of you drunk. May God have mercy on your soul, My Gel. -- Bill T., 20/07/08 7:14 GODDAMIT KIM. I FINALLY FIGURE OUT HOW TO POST A DAMN YOUTUBE VIDEO AND YOU DON'T EVEN WATCH IT! It is very funny, though. -- Bill T., 20/07/08 10:43 Goddam it! Who's been filming me at home?? (NT) -- Kim, 20/07/08 10:57 I'm glad you like my little joke. Isn't it funny, though? At first when I watched it, I though, "Oh, how tired", then I discovered that there had been quite a bit of work put into this as Joan quaffed more booze in rhythm to the music and in sync with the lyric. Then I got the idea about Kimmy being at home, bored, drinking and wearing some of her vintage togs. Glad you got a kick out of it Kimmy. Now, I'm going to cull the archives for films of Karen and Amy at home drunk as skunks! (NT) -- Bill "Carrie Nation" T., 21/07/08 3:48 YAAAA, good for you, Bill. Ain't YouTube grand?? -- the Chronicler, 20/07/08 17:49 In my best Joan Crawford voice - "I did img src= anyway - how dare you tell me how to post things" (insert Warner Bros. Sound Dept. stock sound effect of bitch slap here) (NT) -- Bill "Channeling J.C." T., 21/07/08 3:50 Speaking on J.C., Bill ... -- ...Wanna get grossed out ??, 21/07/08 21:37 Ooh, be careful what you say about Joan. She's a goddess around here! (NT) -- Kim, 21/07/08 22:39 Don't get me wrong, I always appreciated her work, totally. ...But, you gotta admit, her interview about "Jane" was ! ...But here's an equally interview about "Mildred Pearce" ! >>> -- the Chronicler, 22/07/08 7:38
Has Ralph Tomato been banned in CANADA?	Bill T.	18/07/08 7:51
I have a sneaking suspicion the Canadian contingent actually go outside in the fresh air more than the rest of us (certainly more than I do!). (NT) -- Kim, 18/07/08 9:53 Either that or they've all gone on another luxury cruise or shopping spree at Tesco in London. Maybe they've defected to another board? Maybe I posted the word "FAWK" too much or maybe it was my Margaret Trudeau taco joke? I know - I'm to blame. It's all About Bill. (NT) -- Bill "Jan" T., 19/07/08 5:33 Th Canadian summer doesn't last very long - they've got to enjoy the warmth while it lasts. (NT) -- Jeanne, 19/07/08 5:48 Hey Ho!!! Do excuse- I've started a new job that has me werking 60-70 hrs. a week, and Amy has had to deal with a lousy situation at home that has left her watching her 743 children all by herself. Karen, well she's just a whore. (NT) -- TOBY, 19/07/08 11:22 Congrats on the new job - sorry to hear about the sucky hours though! (NT) -- Kim, 19/07/08 14:08 Well, Jeanne and Toby are right - Karen is a total whore. Also, every July someone wonders where we all are, and really - the summer here is three months long, and we are soooo happy there's no FAWKING snow that we are drunk, pretty much from the middle of June to the middle of September. (NT) -- Amy, 20/07/08 0:11 HEY! I never said Karen's a whore. A clever, stealthy assassin, yes, but not a whore. (NT) -- Jeanne, 20/07/08 0:17 Well, maybe you didn't actually SAY she's a whore, but you totally implied it. It's okay though, she's used to it. If she didn't like it she should get on her computer and DEFEND herself!! (NT) -- Amy, 20/07/08 0:25 Sorry for being such a bad Tomato! I'll post more, I promise. As a side note, I think you've given me the title to my memoirs that I was looking for ---- The Whorish Assassin! (NT) -- Karen, 20/07/08 2:32 What about "The Deadly Fizgig", for your autobiography's title, Karen? -- Bill T., 20/07/08 3:10 TOBY, Amy and Karen..... -- Bill T., 20/07/08 3:16 Implied it? IMPLIED IT? No, I did NOT. And it's not okay. It's a terrible thing to say. All I said was that the Canadian summer is short and the Canadian members are too busy enjoying the sunshine while they can to post here at Ralph. Karen, I NEVER called you a whore. I am aghast that anyone would think so. (NT) -- Jeanne, upset, 20/07/08 3:38 Oh Jeanne....I think you may have totally misunderstood what "Whore" means. In our circles, it's a really big term of affection. When you really really love someone, you call them a "dirty whore". At least, that's what I ASSUME my family and friends mean when they call me that.... (NT) -- Amy, 20/07/08 3:53 Oh, whew, well that's okay, then. Hey there, Ralphies! You're all dirty whores! And dirty bastards! (NT) -- Jeanne, affectionately, 20/07/08 4:07 Oh, and I just wanted to add, sorry if I overracted. (NT) -- Jeanne, 20/07/08 4:23 er, make that overREacted. (NT) -- Jeanne, 20/07/08 4:23 Jeanne, you will always be to me, and I think others here, our resident....... -- Bill "Bloody Bastard" T., 20/07/08 6:08 "now and then", I meant. (NT) -- i kant spel, 20/07/08 6:09 Why, thank you kindly, Bill, you big fawkin carrot-haired bastard. I'm proud to be a Ralph Tomato Whore. But as for Miss Manners, why all these years I thought you liked me for my dick jokes. (NT) -- Jeanne, 20/07/08 6:22 Jeanne, that's the entire thing. You are so, so correct and so, so dirty all rolled into one great show! The Ralph Tomato board can give nothing greater! (NT) -- Bill "Cut" T., 20/07/08 6:43 Well, in my capacity as Miss Manners, allow me to announce an edict. "Whore" an official Ralph Tomato term of endearment but it is never ever to be spelled "ho." (NT) -- Jeanne Manners-Dickjoke, 20/07/08 7:07 Okay: Whore=good, shiny and fluffy; 'ho=bad, evil and Plumpy. (NT) -- Bill T., 20/07/08 10:45 But can it be pronounced Hoo-er, to make it sound more lady-like? (NT) -- Kim, 20/07/08 10:59 Certainly not. We are proud whores rhymes-with-oars. (NT) -- Jeanne, 20/07/08 13:39 But although the pronunciation that Kim suggested is "verboten" at Ralph Tomato, it does have that kind of "with my New England upbringing I do NOT approve" Mother Vale/Now Voyager thing going on there. (NT) -- Bill "Or Have I Had Too Much Coffee This Sunday Morning? T., 21/07/08 4:00 But, Totty, honey, you're the one who does the killer Kate Hepburn patrician New England accent. (NT) -- Jeanne, 21/07/08 5:33 And I still have it, by gum, just the othah day Spencer and I were having a scotch, neat you know, at Fenwick and ........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (NT) -- Katharine "I did not FUCK Howard Hughes' dog" Hepburn, 21/07/08 7:59
Dorian Leigh, The First Super Model	Bill "Think Pink" T.	17/07/08 3:34
Sorry, Bill! I did try to get this posted for you but my recent keyboard issues made posting anything very very difficult. As you can see, I have a brand new spiffy keyboard and it WORKS! I can forward AND backspace without it becoming a major ordeal! HOORAY! (NT) -- Kim, 17/07/08 12:17 ....Just keep the Tim-Tam crumbs out of the keyboard, okay? Is it a wireless WONDER keyboard or just a dollar store special? Inquiring minds DEMAND to know. (NT) -- Bill "QWERTY" T., 19/07/08 5:36 It's a sensible mid-priced, spiffy Microsoft keyboard that is apparently spill-proof. Considering the sheer volume of tea I consume plus my natural clumsiness, it seemed a prudent move. (NT) -- Kim, 19/07/08 6:25 Hard to believe that pic is over 60 years old! -Could be a Vogue Cover today. Didjakno, Truman Capote, a friend and admirer, dubbed her "Happy Go Lucky, some believe inspiration for "Breakfast At Tiffany"'s Holly Golightly. ...Here's a great Obit >>> -- the Chronicler, 19/07/08 10:50 It's the clothes that add to her glamour. The reason most of the current crop of 'supermodels' look like $2 hookers is the clothes today are so godawful. That's why I search high and low for good quality retro and classics. I'll be buggered if I'm going out looking like Kate Moss. (NT) -- Kim, 19/07/08 14:12 Yeah, it'd be a bitch to look like her or dress like her, but I wouldn't mind having her drugs! (NT) -- Bill "Have a Sniff" T., 20/07/08 6:53 I wouldn't mind having her access to Johnny Depp's phone number. (NT) -- Kim, 20/07/08 10:58 ....okay, the phone number and the drugs, okay? (NT) -- Bill "Boogie Nights" T., 21/07/08 4:04
Weekend Quiz - Just because I have a working keyboard!	Kim	19/07/08 22:30
ok, taking time off drinking margaritas by the pool to answer the questions... -- Amy, 20/07/08 0:24 I've come in from the sunshine to anwer! --- -- Karen, 20/07/08 2:28 I considered Patrick Stewart, too! It's that rich, fullsome voice...*sigh* (NT) -- Kim, 20/07/08 11:03 Fawk the dead and without all their rations of Plumpy....I posted most of my answers and it disappeared. I have to take a dump but I'll be back with my answers. Grrrrr! (NT) -- Bill "Not a Happy Camper at This Moment" T., 20/07/08 3:33 here goes -- Jeanne, 20/07/08 3:52 Funny how many of us have 'bad wedding' stories. I can't wait to hear! (NT) -- Kim, 20/07/08 11:50 My Responses -- Bill T., 20/07/08 6:36 Mine -- the Chronicler, 20/07/08 8:56 Gina/Gino = glued to the screen. That was a like a movie scene. (NT) -- Ak, 20/07/08 10:34 I just let the girlfriend read the story for the first time. Her mouth dropped, -then she hit ME ...hard! (NT) -- the Chronicler, 20/07/08 16:52 That may have more to do with the Gina part of the story than the Gino. (NT) -- Kim, 21/07/08 1:26 Oh, Chron - you're so, so butch. Love you punching Gino, the dumb greasy Guinea. Good on ya, pal! (NT) -- Bill "Pugilistically" T., 20/07/08 10:38 Hooray for the keyboard -- AKritter, 20/07/08 10:27 AKaren, I have a thing for Dutch accents and Belgian (Flemmish) accents, also have a thing for Dutch and Northern Belgians. I hereby lower my sights from Heut Deutsch to Plat Deutsch (Low German). Muu Hah Hah Hah Hah (NT) -- Bill "Hans Brinker" T., 20/07/08 10:36 Ak, we love 'The Office', as well. Here are some great links of classic clips. -My fave is Jim Halpert's "Pavlov dog" stunt. CLASSIC! ... -- the Chronicler, 20/07/08 17:31 Here's mine... -- Kim, 20/07/08 11:48 Just for Kim, a Michael Caine interview. Link ... -- Jeanne, 20/07/08 13:32 He'll make a great King. (NT) -- Kim, 21/07/08 1:10 IIRC, he said in his autobio that "The Man Who Would Be King" was his personal favorite among all the movies he's made. His autobio is a terrific read, btw. (NT) -- Jeanne, 21/07/08 2:01
Let's name the above ladies. Front center - Penelope Pecksniff. (NT)	Teller	19/07/08 8:45
Perfect name! Dickens has a character called Pecksniff in his novel Martin Chuzzlewit.There's an adjective, "pecksniffian," derived from the charater. It means hypocritical, pretending to be more viruous than you really are. (NT) -- Jeanne, 19/07/08 9:16 Second row right. Prudence Pursley -- Kathy, 19/07/08 10:01 Back row right: Philomena Clennch-Bottom. (NT) -- Kim, 19/07/08 10:08 Center, directly under sign, with headress: "Klitoria Fukowee" (descendant from famed indian derivation). (NT) -- the Chronicler, 19/07/08 10:29 Top row, left. Mrs. Eliza Beaver-Friese, (her American father was the morally jeopardized, Elias Beaver, a moonshining scoundrel from Wapokeneta) (NT) -- AK, 19/07/08 11:19 Far left: Melina Stoole of the Baltimore Stooles - famous producers of bedpans and other stainless steel hospital appliances. (NT) -- Kim, 19/07/08 14:07 I just thought of two names, but can't figure out which person gets which name..... -- Bill T., 20/07/08 6:57 Ok that's good. How about.. -- Teller, 20/07/08 8:11 Those are good. They'd make good drag queen monikers.....that's where I got "Ima Hoe" and "Sofonda Peters" from. They are local drag queens who are about 100 years old and run for "Empress of Seattle" every year. Last year the title was taken by one of the local Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence who goes by the name of Sister Vicious Mary Angry Bitch. She said she wanted her reign to be a combination of the reign of Pope John Paul II and Messalina the "whore" (hi, Karen!) empress of ancient Rome. (NT) -- Bill T., 20/07/08 10:41
Home, Sweet, Home	Bill T.	17/07/08 7:25
Looks fab, Bill! Fingers crossed for you for Friday! (NT) -- Kim, 17/07/08 12:19 Best of luck, Bill! We're all sending good thoughts your way. (NT) -- Jeanne, 17/07/08 13:17 Good luck, Bill. I hope it happens. ...I even see your open window there in your photo, ready for you scream out your best Howard Beal "I'm mad as Hell ..." ! >>> -- the Chronicler, 17/07/08 16:16 Thanks, Kim, Jeanne and Chron. So nice of you to post your good thoughts. -- Bill T., 18/07/08 3:48 ....blood sugar back to normal - Tang with added sugar and a sack lunch fixed it. Phew! (NT) -- Bill T., 18/07/08 7:46 Where's the fire escapes? -- Teller, 18/07/08 7:14 Teller, when you look at the front of the building...... -- Bill T., 18/07/08 7:44 Careful when they say, "the building as being FIREPROOF". Remember Titanic's moto being unsinkable, -AND the fate of its maiden voyage! (NT) -- the "glass half empty" Chronicler, 18/07/08 11:11 Didn't somebody make that claim in Towering Inferno? Although, if there was any chance Steve McQueen would turn up, I'd torch the place myself. (NT) -- Kim, 18/07/08 11:13 Kids!!!!! Per the housing specialist: "You're in as of Monday, July 21st!". Did someone say, "Wipe that there smile off your fact, boy."? (NT) -- Bill "Mi Casa Es Su Casa" T., 18/07/08 11:26 Woo Hoo! It's a house warming party! (NT) -- Kim, 18/07/08 11:50 :):):):):):):):):) !!!!!!!! (NT) -- AKaren (Happy), 18/07/08 12:43 I know - I am so happy!!!! -- Bill T., 19/07/08 5:26 That means you are HOURS away from moving into your new home. Faboo! (NT) -- Kim, 19/07/08 6:23 Great Link on Frye History, and its George F. Frye (son-in-law of Seattle founder Arthur Denny). >>> -- the Chronicler, 19/07/08 11:16 Chron, the picture on your post has The Morrison Hotel to the right of The Smith Tower (center)..... -- Bill T., 20/07/08 7:02 Chron, thanks for posting this history. All the buildings pictured in the photo you posted still stand today. The only major difference is that the park pictured in the foreground center of the picture is totally covered with 80 year old maple trees now. My friend "Twirly Twirl", a squirrel lives in the park and chases the seagulls and pigeons away. I feed him Nutter Butter cookies that I buy at the Dollar Tree - he takes them out of my hand. (NT) -- Bill t., 20/07/08 7:06
Italian Heavy Metal Monk releases a second album.	You have to see this!	19/07/08 10:39
Do you think he does a version of Black Sabbath's "Disturbing the Priest"?? (NT) -- Kim, 19/07/08 10:40
Mid-week Questionnaire....	Kim	17/07/08 19:16
Mine -- the Chronicler, 17/07/08 22:27 Chron, based on your response to question #4 - I know you are EFKAP. My lips are sealed. -- Bill T., 18/07/08 8:19 Okay, FKAP I can figure out, but what's the E stand for? Entity? (NT) -- Jeanne, 18/07/08 8:22 Could it be anything else? (NT) -- Bill "Enid Collins" T., 18/07/08 8:24 Believe it, on not, I may not be the only person to have been close to a grandparent. ...So, ya can't ASS-U-ME, only SUS-PECT what you like! So pucker the sphincter. ;-) (NT) -- the Chronicler, 18/07/08 10:18 EFKAP, it's not just the grandfather response in the questionnaire.... -- Bill T., 18/07/08 11:17 You make a compelling point. But ....um....no. -- the EFKA Chronicler, 18/07/08 13:52 Liar -- Kathy, 18/07/08 14:40 Jesus loves you too, Kathy. Said with love, and respect. (NT) -- the Chronicler, 18/07/08 15:23 Liar (NT) -- Kathy, 18/07/08 15:45 Is it hate, Kathy? ...I've done nothing to you and yours. (NT) -- the Chronicler, 18/07/08 15:56 T'weren't me. I was up to my elbows in soap suds -- Kathy, 18/07/08 16:57 Someone else posed as an existing poster? ...Sounds like grounds to be banned from the board. (NT) -- Jess Sayin, 18/07/08 18:10 I don't get the whole 'using someone else's name to post' thing. It's not as if we can't spot a dodgy post here. If you have an opinion or a remark, I say front up ad put your own name to it. We always want contributors - especially if you can back up your opinion. But the other is just tedious and annoying. (NT) -- Kim, 19/07/08 6:34 Liar (NT) -- Kathy (email@something.com), 19/07/08 7:03 Gee, I have an admiawuh -- Kathy (), 19/07/08 10:03 Well, I think if posting 'Liar' repeatedly is going to be the sum of your contribution, that's about as far as we can take that one. Back to your lair little liar. (NT) -- Kim, 19/07/08 10:21 Ooohhh ... say that five times fast! -- Kathy, 19/07/08 10:24 Liar! (NT) -- Bill "the Truth Prevails" T., 19/07/08 5:38 Kathy: Ralph Tomato! LOL! It reminds me of this interview that Al Franken gave. Both the first and last things in the interview were calling the interviewer: LIAR!

Good questionnaire, Kim. Now the rest of you lazybones: belly up to the bar and post your responses! (NT) -- Bill T., 18/07/08 8:23 I want to know whose date Kim is going to accept. What's the most enticing offer, Kim? (NT) -- Jeanne, 18/07/08 8:27 I haven't heard them all yet! (NT) -- Kim, 18/07/08 9:31 You've got to be kidding, Jeanne. A contest between a "Tacky Tourist Thang" in Seattle and a whirlwind London night of viands, clarets and theatre? You trumped me.......bitch! (NT) -- Bill "God'll Get You for that Walter" T., 18/07/08 11:19 Bill, your evening out is mighty attractive, too! I've often thought that Seattle would be the ideal place to hold Ralphfest. Unless we should meet in that village in Italy where they throw the tomatoes? (NT) -- Jeanne, 18/07/08 22:43 My Answers - now that you know, you must die! -- Bill T., 18/07/08 8:14 Why reading other people's answers is so interesting... -- AK42, 18/07/08 8:52 Gee, AKaren, I'm considered quotable!

(NT) -- AK (Tot ziens Totty!), 18/07/08 12:40 Cop out! Cop out! ...Calling Bill out, on this one! -It's "Character (supporting) actor", buddy ! Not stars! Give us a favorite supporting character (I'm curious to read it). ...Also, I had a print of Klimt's "The Kiss" on the wall, in my old place. (NT) -- the Chronicler, 18/07/08 10:35 I consider Burt Lancaster a star, and a character actor. Not in the traditional sense of the term character actor, though, but in the way he submerged himself INTO the character. So, in that respect, you nitpicker, I don't consider myself wrong. Can you all tell my blood sugar's been up and down like a Duncan Imperial Yo-Yo today because of my snippy comments? (NT) -- Bill "Glucose is God" T., 18/07/08 11:22 LOL, it's ok, buddy. I think it's just your 'gittiness' over your new 'digs'. You're beside yourself with froth and anticipation. As for your arguement, I'll call your Burt, and raise you an "Edward G.", in respect to your arguable point of conjecture, good sir. (NT) -- the Chronicler, 18/07/08 15:32 Thanks, Chron. I weaseled myself out of that one, didn't I. And you're right: I am giddy about the new digs. Move in day is MONDAY, JULY 21ST! (NT) -- Bill "The Smoother Mover" T., 19/07/08 5:00 Best questions yet!

I was in a state-wide essay contest -- Kathy, 18/07/08 14:37 Those fawking local papers are always printing stories about the same people - never the underdogs, like us, Kathy. I won $5000 3rd place in a national children's photo contest. There was a big display of my picture at the Bon Marché department store where the picture had been taken. It only got in the fawking tiny Northgate Journal, and never saw the light of day in The Seattle Times, The Seattle P-I, nor The (defunct) Seattle Sun.

Best blurb I've ever read on the back of a DVD: Joan Crawford's "The Damned Don't Cry"...."She was as tempting as a cupcake and as tough as a 75c steak". Says it all, doesn't it? (NT)	Kim	17/07/08 16:13
Love it ! ...Those old tags are a hoot. (NT) -- the Chronicler, 17/07/08 17:44 .....and Crawford's name in the movie is "Ethel Whitehead" - what a lovely moniker. Kim, isn't "TDDC" wonderful? Don't love the gangster's faux Neutra house in Palm Springs? And, her "socialite instructor"? It's such a good movie and the DVD has all these hysterical Crawford preview trailers. You must buy the poster of "TDDC" 'cuz it has the tagline "Ethel Whitehead....she's as tempting as a cupcake and as touch as a 75 cent steak!" -- Bill T., 18/07/08 3:28 **SP Alert** I meant "tough" not "touch". (NT) -- Bill "I cant spel" T., 18/07/08 3:30 I just love how you KNEW she hit the skids when she started chewing gum and saying "Ahhhhhh, shaddap" to the other shop gels. BTW, I really want a socialite instructor. Unfortunately, gangsters in this country all look like Chopper Reed so I don't think I'd get very far up the social ladder. (NT) -- Kim, 18/07/08 9:43

Parole panel unanimous denies 'compassionate release' for Manson follower Susan Atkins, who has served 37 years for killing actress Sharon Tate and others in 1969. -Doctors give her only months to live. ...Here's Full story & PHOTOS >>>	the Chronicler	16/07/08 17:42
Can't.say.I.feel.sorry.for.her. (NT) -- Kim, 16/07/08 19:47 At least she'll die in a few months, having her family around her, holding her hand, in the end. ...More than I can say for those poor, slaughtered souls in that house in 1969. (NT) -- the Chronicler, 16/07/08 20:01 Right on, Chron and Kim. Even though she's been incarcerated, Atkins has had the gift of waking up each day and being able to prepare mentally and spiritually for the day she's going to die. Fuck this compassionate release stuff. She's not going to go violently like Folger, Tate, Sebring, Parent and Frykowski, not to mention the grocer and his wife that were also killed the next night........ -- Bill T., 17/07/08 3:07 Hey Bill, you like the underbelly details of events.
