Ewwww, Lewski709, we be at the bottom of the basketball barrel for the moment... I was so proud of myself for picking Manhattan, but the glory was short-lived! Can we make a comeback???

RRBB - thanks for posting my pups to the pet picture gallery.

Bichon Barb - tell your kiddies that a Bichon Havanese is not a mix... it's an actual breed in the AKC, and a cousin to the Bichon Frise and the Maltese and the Lowchen. The way I found Toby was that we wanted a dog with the cute, happy personality of a Bichon, but I wanted a black one... so when I looked up +bichon +black, the Havanese came up! The rest is history. Speaking of history, the Havanese were almost eradicated in Havana during the Cuban Revolution, because they were an elite dog only owned by rich plantation folks. I think three families escaped Cuba with just a few dogs, and brought the breed back from that original Cuban stock. I know they have them in Europe, too. Have you ever seen one, Danauk? Sorry to ramble ... I love those boys!

Well, gotta run again... DD15 is breathing down my neck like a rabid bulldog, waiting to get to her precious IM. Can't seem to convince her that this island is far more precious than her !#$@%@ IM.

I'll be baaack!

p.s. How about "Tag Fairy, Tag Fairy, where fore art thou, Tag Fairy?" [color=33FF00]Depplyinluv[/color], can you use any other media besides movies, i.e. cartoons, sitcoms, etc? I bet there's a Rugrats or a Gilligan or something that parodies Shakespeare. I've called my son, who in college was the resident Shakespeare guru, but he's not answering. I probably don't want to know what he's doing, but if he calls back, I'll see if he has any ideas.

Hey, RRBB, what's for dinner?


I have to make Mac and Cheese to go with some leftover ham.

OK, I've only caught up to page 8 (you guys are at 16 right now), but figured I'd better make some comments/replys, or I'll forget them by the time I get to the end!

First and foremost: HuggaBaloo I'm so happy that you got this offer. I know it will put your mind at rest about the move (and you get that bigger apartment!). Maybe we can have an ax-murders dinner in mid-April.

Welcome to NC Belle and Castlegazer...hang out with us, it's lots of fun!

Babysitting: I'm available, for kids/pets/dragons. I'll do crafts and storytime with the 'kids' whenever the adults (and I use the word loosly) want a break. I can give swimming and horseback riding lessons also (no flaming lessons, however).

Reunions...I'm in the middle of arranging a weekend gathering for 15 people from my high school in NW Indiana, who are coming to Phoenix to meet with the seven of us who live here now. Some of these people I haven't seen in 36 years!!!!!!!

OK, back to catching up on the rest of the posts.

 

[disneyluvers]

Well, getting cookied did it! I won't get lost ever again. (That is unless the DisGods run into anymore problems) Oh Well, I'm beat. You guys really didn't post much today, did ya? I was gone for 10 hours and only had about 8 pages to read. Not bad.

I was watching the hospital helicopters take off and land today. Sigh! I want to learn to fly so bad. I was planning to start my lessons last year but they shut down the airport that would've been closest for me to go to. They since reopened it so I've been trying to figure out how to go to WDW and take flying lessons. Just think, I get my license, then zip around in style.

Hey, look what I found.

It's our boats! Cool, huh?

I can't believe Joe's home! WooHoo!

Welcome Home to all new [color=0066FF]T[/color][color=CC0066]A[/color][color=00CC66]G[/color][color=00BFFF]L[/color][color=FF1493]I[/color][color=FF6600]K[/color][color=FFCC00]I[/color][color=9900FF]N[/color][color=00FF00]S[/color].

Jeez, I thought I'd get back in time for CSI but no CSI... only Basketball. (Sorry guys, it's just not my favorite sport.)

Oh, my 20th reunion is this year. My inbox had a message from one of the committee. I might go if it doesn't cost too much. I see the same HS people around town anyway. I just get a kick out of taking my georgeous DH with me along with pics of my darling devils while the "pretty girls" keep getting older and come back with more plastic surgery. I love it!

 

[ibouncetoo]

OMG!!!!!! Page 10.... JOE is here! Yeeeee Haaa (as we say in the southwest). Welcome pardner, take your hat off, sit a spell.

You and RickinNYC really should think about pushing your trip back two weeks......those hungry people can wait for 'yall, I'm sure.


OK, six more pages to go.

Sure hope Carolina wins tonight....GO HEELS!!

I can't believe it's already our 2nd night on the island.......can't wait to fall asleep again to the sound of gentle waves lapping the shore......and a mug of cocoa by my side......ah, nice

Sweet dreams

...and remember, tomorrow is Friday....HOORAY

 

[ibouncetoo]

Crikey, I made it through....took so long I need another dinner!

I'm going to put a picture of my kitty "Acoma" in the DIS photo gallery. RRBB can you look for it in a day or so and put it in our pet gallery (like you did for my photo with [COLOR=660099]TiggersPal[/COLOR]?

NC Belle, about your mom's eye surgery. Did she have any kind of 'symptom' that made her have her eyes checked? If so, I'd be interested in knowing what, as I have a friend who is having 'issues' and won't go to the doctor.

OK, must go finish dinner and veg for a little bit....you guys tuckered me out trying to catch up! Oh, and I'll unpack all my rubber stamping supplies before I go to bed tonight.


TTFN

 

[RRBB]

Sure, no problem [COLOR=339900]ibouncetoo[/COLOR]. Just post the pic here and I'll get it put into the photo album.

Ibouncetoo, I just had written a post that disappeared about my Mom's warning signs---you can pm me or I repost it later.

[color=33FF00]Depplyinluv[/color] Asked my egghead (and I mean that in the most LOVING way ) DH for some more Shakespeare allusions for you. He knows everything . Here's what he came up with...hope it's not too much....

--Strange Brew --early 80's flick starring Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas doing the Bob and Doug Mackenzie schtick that had to do with the Elsinore brewery...a nod to Hamlet. Read the first review of it on it's Amazon site...notice the names of the characters for the Hamlet sub-text. Strange Brew on amazon.com

--President Bartlett on the NBC show The West Wing has 3 daughters and he specifically mentions King Lear in one episode. It's an on-going allusion that he's like King Lear.

--Duck Tales episode Much Ado About Scrooge episode the characters travel to an island inhabited by the descendants of "Drakespearean" actors. They find the "Lost Play of Drakespeare" entitled MacDuck

--There's a Bugs Bunny cartoon in which Bugs and Witch Hazel run through several Shakespearean scenes and references culminating in crossing paths at the end with Witch Hazel's old boyfriend Sam Crubish, who is a struggling writer and a ringer for William Shakespeare. The cartoon ends with them arguing whether or not Hazel used to live in apartment 2-B... Unfortunately, he can't remember the title of this episode...but I found it! The review on Amazon says "A Witch's Tangled Hare" (Abe Levitow, 1959), has Bugs and Witch Hazel battling it out in MacBeth's castle while William Shakespeare tries to seek inspiration. This has to be the last cartoon on this tape because nothing can follow the groaner that ends this one. It's on this tape with some others...maybe you can find it locally...
Bugs Bunny's Hare-Raising Tales (1948)

--Tiny Toons "To Babs or Not to Babs" Episode

--A book about the JFK assassination called MacBird suggesting that Johnson did it, a la MacBeth. The author of the book mistakenly called Ladybird Johnson "Lady MacBird" just in a conversation and that was where the story idea came from for the book.

--Looney Tunes cartoon "A Ham in a Role" starring the Goofy Gophers (Dec. 31, 1949| Directed by Robert McKimson|Voices by Mel Blanc and Stan Freberg) The dog decides to become a Shakespearian actor instead of a comedian, but the gophers knock a little sense into him, literally.

--Monty Python's Flying Circus episodes...lots of references there!

--I found you some references in some other teacher's online lesson plans!! Here you are....Bill's Allusive Nature Lesson Plans

--The song "Limelight" by Rush has this final verse:
All the world’s indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another’s audience
Outside the gilded cage

Complete "Limelight" Lyrics


Well, he has to go to be now, so if that's not enough of an overload, we can try again tomorrow! Good luck with your assignment

March Madness: I was doing pretty good with my picks until the games this evening. My wildcats blew it, and I had them going all the way too. (I had to show my school spirit, would have been sacrelige to pick anyone else.) Well, maybe next year...
