A Digression Thread: or old furniture in a new house.

Dudley Moore Babs, - read up....

Then, of course, there was Derek and Clive's skit about Jayne Mansfield and the lobsters... lobsterissimus bumikissimus, if I recall correctly.....

Ol' Dud ... tis a pity, indeed. I remember one skit from the Bronze Age, relatively speaking, of course, 'bout 30 year back. Peter was a casting director for a new Tarzan film and was auditioning walk-on's for the role of Tarzan. Dudley was one such auditionee, an amputee auditionee. He was wearing a trench coat with a leg somehow strapped up inside it, and with his crutch in place, he looked very authentic. How the hell they could do such routines with nary the hint of a smile was phenomenal.

I don't recall whether Dudley got to play Tarzan ... I was ROFLMAO and missed the ending.

OOOOOOAAAAAAAAAOOOOOAQAAAAAAAAAOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!


(tarzan yell, rendered badly.......)

You Jane, me Cheeta.

U tarzan, me Tarzan as well - who needs Jane ?

Hmmmmm - I like a hairy chap - except for backs ..... I will wear my low heels on dates.....

I am a very fast "swinging" Tarzan !

Debacle
I remember that Tarzan sketch.

I think he didn't get the job, but had a thousand good reasons why he should.

You don't see humour like that around these days, things being taken to the nth degree of ridiculous.

Now it's all sitcoms and blah!

Perhaps it's time has passed

Tarzan? Did someone say Tarzan? Trivia digression -- didja know that Edgard Rice Burroughs, in an interview in later years, after Tarzan had become not just an icon, but a veritable industry, told the interviewer that the hardest part about writing the original first Tarzan book was making up a name for the character? Burroughs said he agonized over a name that would sound right and stay in the reader's mind as appropriate, The rest of the writing, he said, was just unskilled labor. (Well, ok, he didn't use the words "unskilled labor" but that's the impression one gets from the interview.)(It's also the impression one gets from reading the book.)

I used to love Burrough's "Professor Challenger" stuff when I was a very weelowan!

Now - am I in trouble?
No money.
Christmas.
Birthday of two of my closest friends tomorrow - with party....
Christmas wiv 2 of the key people vegetarians - the rest meaties or at least fishies... all very fussy.
Did I mention no money?
A $215 speeding fine due on Christmas eve.
No off days before Christmas.
Did I say anything about no money?
Lots of parties - therefore wine, at least, needed.
No Christmas cards bought.
Did I remember to say no money?

Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I wanna kill the people who stole my car! is this wrong?

No, the wanting to is not wrong . . . doing so might make your holiday season bleaker still, however . . .

Man and I thought I had it bad!
Wait ,isn´t there a thread with that title?
dlowan,may I recommend a well planned "bank-job"?

Bummer. It is awful to have so much on your plate at once... and especially if you've not got the means to pay.

I think it is perfectly OK to want to think about killing them. But I don't think you should really think about it... or... as Setanta says, do it!

Let's see... a temporary job? Sell something? Have a drastic diet between now & then? Water only???

Make up a death in the family in some remote part of the country, pull the blinds, and ride it out.

That's the problem with new cars, Deb - they go too fast!

Can you not pay the fine and opt for jail - a cuppla days in the clink over Christmas will solve some of your problems

Waaaahhhhh!!!
