I got 4 TSs today: Second line, Riefenstahl, ewer and bedspread. I got Hermitage (visited it once). Did not get the baseball TS. I never get sports. Poor Waikiki (I know) said "Leftovers"!
Forget FJ. I never know music. This was discussed earlier in the Chit Chat thread by coincidence.

This is a modern version of another sixties novelty uh-oh song--not the one I was earlier referencing. Still must dig that one up.

I remember all those @roseha.
I believe the Uh-Oh song being referred to was a weird novelty number in the 60s, and I can't find a video of it. It goes something like "Uh-ee-uh-uh-uh-oh, uh-ho, uh-oh." I think it has nothing else throughout the whole song.

When I was a kid, I not only listened to R&R--I also listened to my dad's (a professional musician) albums: Ray Anthony, Glenn Miller, Jackie Gleason (really! beautiful instrumental versions of Xmas music), etc. Geez, I can't remember the other big band albums. Every once in a while, a song will enter my brain and I'll think: wow--we late 50's/early 60's kids listened to a wide variety of music on our Top 40 stations (at least in the metro NYC area). Do any boomer New Yorkers remember the "Uh-oh" song? Our stations (e.g., WABC, WINS, etc,) played Steve & Edie, Ferrante & Teicher, various instrumental pieces. *And* each record was identified. When did radio stations stop identifying the records' talents?
Local New Yorker here, and yes, I remember the Uh-Oh song. What a funny one to remember. Cousin Brucie, anyone?

In honor of the recent anniversary of the Beatles' first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, This American Life replayed a tale about a comedian couple who had the incredible bad luck to appear on that same episode. This is really worth a listen.
Skip to the first segment, "Take My Break, Please."

I love rock and as long as there are rock bands, I'll listen to that. The first thing I ever bought with my own money was a Beatles 45. Lol, I guess my taste solidified in 2nd grade.
I didn't really have my own money in third grade (February 1964, to be exact) but somehow I acquired "Meet the Beatles," their first album. I also had Beatle cards and a Beatle pin. I guess my mother took pity on me.

Well, they'd better get a search warrant for every crime scene now.

We PVR SNL (two acronyms for the price of one!) for our daughter and most of the time I haven't got the slightest idea who the host is let alone the musical guest. On the other hand I have gotten awfully good at going on youtube to find videos and recently looked for the Blues Brothers and stumbled across Steve Martin singing King Tut so there's that 🙂.
I always know who the hosts are, even though I'm old. I do watch a lot of TV and movies--or I wouldn't be on here. But I haven't been a pop music fan since the 70s lol.
I'm definitely not into rap or hip hop. I'm a person who cannot hear lyrics correctly, so these genres are lost on me.

I am shit at knowing any musicians lately. I don't listen to radio stations anymore to actively hear any new music. I stream my playlist and occasionally add new songs when I am exposed to them. I have no intention of changing my listening habits, but really how are you supposed to hear new music when radio is almost dead and MTV has strayed too far from its roots?
This is a mystery to me as well. I think people who are really interested in new music have ways of finding new music. There are definitely blogs, web sites, youtubers, whatever, who publicize and discuss this. Otherwise, I hear new music when the acts appear on SNL or I hear it being played in stores.

It's not just about the clothes. It's about looks. It's Penny v. Amy Farrah Fowler on BBT. Harvey Weinstein, who is a troglodyte in the looks department aside from being an sick bastard, wants a Penny, not an Amy. This is the last I will say. I know my opinion is unpopular, but that's part of his sick power trip and why he sought to make it big in the movie business and not, say, the garbage disposal business. Unlike say, stranger rapists, he had something to offer. He did exchange employment for his abuse or withheld it from those who didn't cooperate.
I still think he should spend the rest of his life behind bars.

I will express a complex or unpopular or nuanced opinion. I believe dressing modestly and looking a certain way etc. does not protect you from sexual assault per se. It does protect you from being targeted by the likes of Harvey Weinstein and other entertainment bigwigs who are not interested in attacking that type of woman.
This is not victim blaming. The targets of these attacks have suffered. It does no good, I believe, to repeat that sexual assault is only a power act. It has variations.

Mayim is sanctimonious and insufferable on most topics. She has been called out for her comments on this subject before.
Mayim is at best strange. But I will watch her from time to time depending on her guest. I'm curious as to what she has said before to be called out on. I'm not familiar with it.

I think we can't ignore the effect that Roseanne herself had on the original show. Whatever we might think of her and why she got bumped, she probably had a better sense of the characters and would not have put out this hollow shell of a former self.

When and how did Mary start working at the church again?
We're seeing some of how Connie turns into the bitter Meemaw of BBT.
Mary started working for the church again a few episodes back. I think it was partly that George wanted to get her out of his hair so he brokered a settlement between Pastor Jeff and Mary.
3 minutes ago, appositival said:I'm hoping that Mandy's parents get divorced in the pilot episode of the 'First Marriage' show. Mandy's mother reminds me of a humorless version of Hyacinth from the British "Keeping Up Appearances" sitcom.
Divorced yes, (per TBBT) but I can't imagine that they would get remarried to each other. That show would be called 'marriage go round' or some such.
My take is that they are being cutesy with the title so that they do indeed get remarried, as unlikely as it seems. This also gibes with some dim memory I have of some other poster saying something to this effect.

I don’t know if this is the right thing to ask here but…
There is an Epicurious recipe I made a long time ago and want to try again. Specifically, I want the cooking technique info. There are similar recipes I can easily find, but I think the cooking techniques might be slightly different (or maybe I am just remembering it wrong).
Cold Poached Chicken with Ginger Scallion Oil, Gourmet magazine, Aug. 20, 2004
Gourmet also put out a cookbook including a recipe of the same name on page 357 and a website called Eat Your Books has it available, but I am not a member of that website.
Many thanks to anyone who can help.
I don’t have the cookbook. I was curious about the web site, so I tried their “free” membership to see what it was all about. The full recipe was not available. It’s not clear whether it would be available on the paid version. Strange web site. Good concept but probably a lot of copyright problems so not really useful.
Your best bet might be to get the hard copy from the library. I bet they’d have it. -

I never went to summer camp; it sounded like a punishment to me, having to spend time with kids I didn't know, in shared quarters, with communal dining and forced activities. At the time, I only knew one friend who went to camp, so as a kid it seemed like something that only happened in books, and somehow all those books were set in NY or elsewhere in the East, so I thought it was a regional thing and her parents, here in L.A., were just weird. As a little bit of an older kid, it popped up in movies and TV shows (where, of course, wacky hijinks - or, you know, spree killings - ensued), but fictional was still my primary exposure. Finally I got old enough to meet enough people to realize, duh, it was a thing plenty of real kids from all kinds of places had done. Still not anything I'd have been interested in, but at least I was no longer so ignorant!
Maybe camp is more of an east coast tradition. I went to a camp that was part of a federation of low-cost camps for working class Jewish kids to get them out of the city. This federation goes back to the early 20th century (there were also camps for Catholic kids). It was a chance to get away from parents! Fun! No high class activities like horseback riding.

Seriously creepy case. Oof.
This week Olivia didn’t say the magic words “It’s not your fault.”
But she uttered another bromide: something to the effect of you’re not damaged you survived.-

I wonder if they will get Jerry O’Connell to do the voice overs.

Ah yes, a shout-out to an early Season 1 episode of The Big Bang Theory where, after Sheldon sees Penny's messy apt for the first time, he can't sleep but gets up and breaks into it in the middle of the night and starts picking up and organizing it, eventually with Leonard's help. One of the funniest scenes in the entire series.
So this Octavia Spencer was the actor that dealt with Sheldon the time he went in to get a driver's license? That was a stand-out scene in the series too.
Now I want to go watch some Big Bang episodes and clear my head of that train wreck of a spinoff they were showcasing tonight. Every time they switched away from Connie's scenario and to the married with a kid and boring in-laws scenario the show came to a grinding and totally unfunny halt of total boredom.
Mandy’s mother is a buzzkill. So hard to watch. Not funny.
Here’s a question: it looks like they are announcing the new show as Georgie and Mandy’s first marriage. So does that mean they were married, divorced and remarried to each other ?

@Mindthinkr, it might be worthwhile in terms of future "closure" to keep track of the shooter on FB etc.
About 50 years ago a man who I am 100% sure was a serial rapist if not serial killer abducted me when I was hitchhiking with my paintbox and easel and other equipment. I escaped physically unscathed, but had to abandon all my stuff to do so. At the police station I drew a portrait of him with a red and a black marker. I also had noted the color of the car and the model name from an ornament on the glove compartment, and that the plates were from Ontario (this was in Michigan). The police found him quickly, but he claimed I was a prostitute, and I no longer had "visible means of support." So that was the end of it.
But I still wish I knew his name so I could find out what became of him and/or his next victims.At the time, a brother of a friend who lived in the area declared that it was not right to let him go (like the shooter of your daughter, @Mindthinkr).
But I just wanted to distance myself (literally) from the psycho perp.But now, in hindsight, especially post-Me-Too, I feel like I let down other young women by not pursuing it at all.
Nowadays you can at least keep tabs on the person and be willing to testify, if it comes to that.
You have alluded to this story before. Thank you for sharing. It must be painful.

Some of my colleagues will share a room on a CLE trip to save a few bucks, but I just can't do it. Partly it's our only child gene, I guess. I did enjoy summer camp, though, where we shared bunkhouses.

PS to previous: I have watched only one episode of the documentary and won’t go back for the rest. Mayim’s guest called it trauma porn and also has not watched.

Pet Peeves: Aka Things That Make You Go "Gah!"
in Everything Else
PVR was being used as a verb in that sentence, so it made it more confusing for someone who knew neither abbreviation.
