If you screw up playing, and went striaght back to the right notes, it would stand out even more.
Make it blend. You ever see Nureyev screw up? He did, you just didn't notice.
Or are you asking how it fits what I quoted above?

did we leave the word "without" out? :wink:

just wanted to see if he could recover gracefully. . . :roll:


somehow the thought of cutting postie slack is kind of... amusing. what out what he does with it! :wink:


Hmm, sometimes I find myself up the creek without gas for the motor. It does get cold out in that world. I almost always can find a bridge to burn.


Gonna make it go "kaboom" first? Can I watch? 8O 8O 8O

Reminds me of "Alive From Off-Center" that played for a brief time on PBS back in the late 1980s.
I think that is where "Stomp" and "Pilobulus" got started. And who could forget "Mumenschantz" in the
Late 1970s?

Gromit didn't give us part 1:
(NB. the first bit looks tedious, but the juggling dog later on is brilliant.)

Thank you.:D I know I'm not lost. And I know I have a planet full of friends. :wink: I just need to quit listening to my NT friends who go out to the bar and have social lives and like to tell me about it. I know I would just have a horrible time if I went with them, and I just can't talk or care about the things they do but there's that small part of me that believes them when they say I am missing out on life. I know that I'm not. It really makes no sense and I'm sure once I can start going to school again, I will feel much better. Until then, I'll listen to loud music and act like I'm 14!! :lol:

This is how I spent my day, at a swimming pool hosting a birthday party for 8 screaming 7 year old girls. I had the husband and his mother go in the pool. I got to spend an hour all alone in the party room. There was only a half hour of actual being in the room with terrors. I thought it only fair since I also did the shopping and the baking and the setting up.

[img][img]http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb16/blessedmom_photos/IM000345.jpg[/img][/img]

I did have a little bit of fun with a nasty rich woman. I was sitting in the lobby of the pool waiting for late kids and knitting. A family in a huge SUV with polished smiles and a 40 something mom with bleach blonde hair parked in the no parking zone out front and came in. The blonde lady eyed me sitting surrounded by presents and my box of birthday party necessities, walked up to the reception and demanded to know why they had double booked her birthday party room. THe young lady explained that I had the room at 2 and she didn't have it until 4:00. In a loud voice meant for my ears, the lady (used very loosely) proclaimed that the room had better be clean and ready by 3:30 or she would have something to say (I thought she already had had something to say)
When I entered the party room I had to set up 4 folding tables and 12 folding chairs myself. THey were stacked against the wall. I had considered leaving them down for the next people but quickly decided against it and made sure that the adults were putting it all away at 3:00 sharp. The blonde nasty kept spying through the window from the pool to see what we were doing and suddenly opened the door 8O and said, in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Oh I didn't catch you in time, we're here next and I would like you to leave everything out." 8O To which I replied as I eyed the remaining 2 tables, "I'm sorry but it is my responsiblity as a patron of the pool to make sure that everything is as it was when I first entered the room. You'll have to set up yourself." And I don't think she missed my sickeningly sweet smirk. :D

I thought everyone knew what a Snark was.

You do have to be careful though, when you catch one, that it should not turn out to be a Boojum, as you will softly and suddenly vanish away, and never be met with again.

Aha. So I guess a Boojums is a related species?
