Today, Tomorrow, and last June.
Got two more scores in the mail.
As Woody Allen once sorta said,
Just finished watching "Make 'em Laugh" on KCTS
and have come to the realization that Bugs Bunny must have been Jewish.
And therefore beings as how I'm not as sure footed a fool as he,
I must not be.
Even though my Grandma's name was Rosen.
Actually I am more my father's child which I believe is Caledonian.
Scots and Jews, eh?
Took the family out to dinner once,
in the end the waiter paid the bill.
Zing!
........
Waiting for the results to come in,
Are you an audience or an oil painting?
Pow!
I just flew in from the bathroom,
I have toilet paper stuck to my shoe
Anything for a laugh...
How about funny faces?
Look at this, just like Harpo.
Or this, get it?
What do you mean, boo?
Awright, awright, my five minuets are up, I'm leavin'
I told my agent I didn't want to play this hick town anyway.
You rubes probably don't know what a minuet is, anyway.
Yeah, neither do I.

I wanted to watch MAKE 'EM LAUGH on PBS too, but couldn't get around to it. Was it well put together, or just the standard old clips of funny folks over the ages?

My first in-laws were named Mermelstein, Milton & Marilyn, both dead now. My practice wife, Renea, felt it was rude and disrespectful that I studied the Torah and was learning Hebrew. Go figure.
Your stand up routine needs a little polishing, enit? By the way, how many minuets are there in an hour?
Gee a nice response of 51 commenters on your last posting, capped off nicely by the incomperable Anonomann. Don't get spoiled, though, it was probably an anomoly, anomaley, atomeley, or some such thing.
Over two hours my dentist drilled and poked and proded and tweeked and twisted in my pie hole. I have a sore jaw this morning. Maybe George F. tried to knock my ass out while I slept.

This is some crazy cyber crap, enit? I actually comment as myself and I get the Anonymous moniker like any schlupp out there. That settles it. I give up on trying to wrestle respect from this piece of digital hardwired bitchiness.
Glenn
At least youse git yer pitcher on yer comments. So fuggedaboutit!
.........Vinnie
That is true, Vincenso, but you colorful characters out there in the ozone of cyberness get to say the rudest and craziest comments ever. I sort of have to behave myself, since I am fully identified by my "pitcher".
Glenn
Soon there might be another swirl of anonymous activity, more bickering, more back stabbing, more gay and lesbian chatter, more political machinations, more rock and roll news, more insights, more horseshit ALL landing on Savant.
........Eddy Emerald
I doubt it.
........Edgar Poo
Jannie hasn't been around for a few days. Guess she has been too busy prepping for her big CD launch party.
........Tiny Tim
Surely the ukulele is not making a comeback. God help us.
........Emily
And what instrument did you play, Emmy, the skin flute?
......Edgar Poo
I will have you know, Sir Troll, that I was quite the accomplished pianist. My father always loved my playing.
.......Emily
Too bad you hadn't heard any of my music while you were here, Emily. You could have played some of my piano licks.
.........Elton's John
Bernie tells us that you lick a lot more than your piano, Alice.
.........Liberace
Most cultured young women of Emily's day learned to play the piano. It helped out at boring parties, and the radio hadn't been invented yet.
.........Spikey Jonz
Hey Spike, long time no ear. How your midgets? Still playing their giant harmonicas?
.......Uncle Miltie
I am still very miffed at Lane for not celebrating my birthday. Luddy gets all the attention.
...........Wolfy Amadeus M.
What was Anonmann making reference to? Does David send out his student's work for consideration here and there? That is cool. The return of your scores were the ones he sent out, or ones you sent out?

Thats "minuets" in an "Hora" putz!
............Bernie
I put scores in the mail and send them to organizations who call for them in hopes that they will be selected for performance or prize money or some damn thing but mainly just to have something to do with the seven hours that I spend awake every tedious, boring day.
Hey world, it is Friday, ready or not. I have a medical treatment today, my first time of cutting down the (2) treatments monthly to just one. Kind of scary, but necessary to get my mind right.

30 degrees, ice on the windshield, and foggy as hell--that was my reward for my early morning commute this AM.
Glenn
Actually, being Jewish is overrated. Always has been.
.........Melvin Brooks
A lot of people didn't know that I was both Jewish and Polish.
.........George Patton
Jews make great boyfriends, and girlfriends; they are always so clean.
.........Elton's John
I never wanted to admit that my name was originally Custerstein.
......George A. Custer
Dat's not a problum for us in da SONS OF ITALY. Jews are smart dudes, and dey always hav lots of douugh. Lepke was a stone killer too, so dere it is.
.........Vinnie
It is good that you promulgate your own work, reinforcing your own creativity with the insane hope that someone out there will recognize the genius in your music and in you.
..........Emily
My feelings are still hurt, Bernie, that you announced to the universe that when I was younger, and cuter, my breath smelled like canine offal.
.......Geraldo Schwartzz
I swear, FFTR, has become the site for all the First People. Butch has worked the hell out of Joy Harjo's poems, and prose, and then got down with Navarro Scott Momaday, Peter Blue Cloud, and even Leslie Silko. Indian poetry is enjoying a Renaissance, they say, so get over to FFTR today and enjoy it.
.............Lester FallsApart
It is OK for a white guy, a very much Anglo, to love Native American spiritualism, and poetry, and lifestyle, but it does make one wonder if Glenn is just yet another Indian wannabe. Like Burt Reynolds, Cher, and Johnny Cash, he does talk about having Cherokee ancestors. Those Cherokee were a lusty bunch it seems.
.........Black Elk
I once considered taking a squaw to broaden my horizons, but my wife was not very receptive to it.
.......G. Armstrong C.
Now that Jannie has produced her CD, and Joy Harjo has done two of them, and Alex is working on her official second one, when will we be able to bou the Doug Palmer CD, maybe entitled REDWING RHAPSODIES?
Glenn
Well we could bou it, but probably we will have to "buy" it. Are there not places that will produce CD's for you, assisting with the artwork and such?
Glenn
Emmy, butter wouldn't melt in your yap, always buttering up Savant, and lusting after Douglas. Your afterlife must be pretty lame too. Drop over more often to my cubicle and I will show you some great games.
..........Edgar Allen Poo
What games....Troll Monopoly, Troll checkers?
......Emily
Frustrated bisexual spinster poets do not intimidate me, baby. Go read to yourself.
..........Edgar P.
Maybe if you started riding a motorcycle again, dressed up in leather, wore Ray-Bans, dyed your hair blond, and hung out in Pioneer Square playing your six-string, you would build up a bigger fan base, Doug.
...........Eddy Emerald
Caledonian, Caledonian - what makes your big head so hard?
I was almost named Finona Rosenberg. Almost.
Hallo, Glenn!
No, I did not mean Lane's composition prof. David, sends out Lane's scores for performance, though that would be GREAT!! Some professors and teachers do do this for theor more talented students (and Lane IS that!!), but I don't know if David does. What I DID mean is that Lane shoild get David's judgement as to whether (in DAVID's opinion) ths score is "ready" for submission, but the FINAL judge MUST be LANE!!
Tschuess,
Anonomann
Hallo, Lane!
Getting scores returned that you have submitted is FAR better than getting NO scores back because you NEVER submitted tham!!!!
My maxim has always been: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained!!"!! Who knows unless you submit something if what you withheld might have been what would have won the prize (or, better, performance) that time!!??!!
Keep submitting; the next time might be the "BINGO" time!! Your work IS getting better and BETTER, especially your most recent String Quartet!! It is really "professional-quality"!!!
Tschuess,
Anonomann
Hibernian-Jewish is a combination to be reckoned with, Fiona.
I wouldn't want to run into you in a dark alley.
.........Amanda Rekonwith
I put scores in the mail.
I sent them out.
With any luck I'll never have to see them again.
I never include a SASE.
I got too much soiled paper in the house awreddy.
