Come back, strange beings from another star!   We're ready to go with yoooouuuu...
 
The trailer is pretty, and I am dead sure they'll not distribute it in the States - no explosions!  No car chases!  No guns!

Trailer, etc for Love and Savagery.  Looks pretty, anyway.



I am still earthly bound, too, I'm sorry to say.

Yes!  I want to know - how did the planning for that unfold, because that was at least a year between the time the premise of the joke was laid out and the pay off.
 
World's longest joke?

Oh yeah, I remember this one now. Andy Jones..."Barbeque Guy"...

And speaking of sonic puns, a question to "The Great Eastern" staff that
may be reading this: How long did it take to set up the joke based on an
ancient recording of an ancestor of Paul's that ends with something like,
"A curse on thee, Moth of Ucker".

It was a groan loud enough to be heard at Argentia...

Hey, tall, medium-toned, and married,
 
You didn't get taken up with the mothership!  Are you sad?
 
I followed this link:
 
It claims the November 6, 2009 release date.

information.

I dunno--after "Mack" talked about the ease of humming Samurai Hee-Haw, I
realized that I was exchanging messages with Mack and not "Mack", but
that's me.

Tall, yup. Dark? Ehh, medium-toned I think. Handsome...Mmm, depends on
perspective. The wife seems to think so, but I think that she is
hopelessly and sadly unscientifically biased.

Love and Savagery is due out on November 6, fans!
 
After long consideration, I believe:
 
1. Everyone on this list has been taken up by the mothership.
 
2. The person who claimed to be Mack Furlong really is Mack Furlong and I utterly cheated myself out of a chance of interchange with someone whose comedy skillz have made my twisted bitter little life brighter, all due to a fear of being made a fool of.
 
3. I bet that "Dean" on this list, given his writing style, is probably tall, dark, and handsome.
 
4. That if I go outside, take off my blouse and wave it in the air long enough, the mothership will come back and get me.  I'm sure it was an oversight. 
 
5. *mutters* Stupid mothership.

I was worried for a bit that the CodCo Conspiracy had come to an end.  But
no, there was Andy Jones in the movie with Mack.  My weird fascination with
CodCo continues.

And it has a very funny picture of Orson Welles as Falstaff on it for April 21st, his apparently genuine beard being pulled by Mistress Tearsheet.  Orson's, not Ed's.
 
It put me in mind of Sunny Days, I think it was, where Moth interviews the grumpy British thespian.

All UotA materials were prepared well in advance.  BT recorded promos long before the shows aired.

Must be nice.  All we have here in Virginia, "God's Accursed Commonwealth!", are bands of itinerate ocarina players; they take it is a given that actual training will dilute the power of their music.  I guess that they mean well, but musically...well, let's just say that on the Venn Diagram, it is an unfortunate intersection of perseverance and lack of ability.

AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAA.
 
*ehem*
 
Why, yes, the Hemingwayesque prose *is* the dead giveaway.
 
Still, if you, the true student of TGE, are absolutely, 100% sure, why not use a Furlong-Turing test? 
 
What have you to fear, sir?  Your True Mr. Furlong will obviously know everything such a Mr. Furlong ought to know about TGE, the MUN, growing vegetables at NFLND latitudes, etc? 
I suggest an intense lightening trivia quiz on Capt Beefheart is definitive.

There's one to announce to the family around Christmas Dinner - "Mom, Dad, I know what I want to do with my life." *pause* "I feel in my heart I'm a kazoo-er."
Mr. Costello - have you listened to Sunny Days recently?  The one about the road trip on Route 666 is a hoot.  The foley work on that one is brilliant; it's like I'm in the car with these guys.  I can see Moth and Julie in the land yacht.  And the sounds of the crennilator!

I have to admit that the kazoo version that was used by the McLosers at USNJ for the "Greased Stern" was a very impressive rendition...

Oh, Mr. Costello!  I agree.
 
(psst!  *sotto voce* Should we butter up our faux Mack Furlong?  I mean, he could work just as well, since he sounds like the real fellow.  Consider that if yomyock@ passes a sort of "Furlong-Turing" test, doesn't he amount to the same thing as the real thing, out here in cyberspace?  What I mean is, does it matter functionally who is whose sock-puppet, so long as it works?  How many questions are traditionally in a Turing Test?)

They were good because, as my uncle used to say, they cost enough.  Highly-trained professionals.

I think it's probably The Jig is Up.  Paul once had to half-sing, half-hum the piece because, due to a labour action, nobody was there
to cue the tape at the end of the show.  Besides, Samurai Hee-Haw is too hard to sing.

The wife and I were watching a special on "The Agenda" on the 60th
anniversary of Confederation. Out of curious, was the voice of Roger
Grimes (ex-Premier) used as a model for Ish Lundrigan?
