    Interesting note:  Wish I could go.  Jerry Seinfeld is here in Jamestown tonight.  Headlining at the beginning of the Lucille Ball  Comedy Festival.  Too late for me, tickets, when I checked, were $400 and it's already sold out.  But, wheee... I saved $400.yes  The venue is the hockey arena across the street from the National Comedy Center.  This is the 75th year anniversary of "I Love Lucy".

    Complaint:  I've found that as I get older, wiser, poorer, closer to the light at the end of the tunnel, I seem to have less and less to complain about.  Harumph!frown  I'm afraid I'm developing a severe case of peace-of-mind.indecision

    OMG, I can hear it!  Have you ever considered stand-up comedy as a career?yeslaugh   Or is he just that predicable?devil

    I've thought of imitating George Burns taking a cigar out of his mouth, and have the audience laugh.surprise  Or Jack Benny just placing his hand on his cheek, turning to the audience with a naive/dour/confused look on his face as the audience bursts out in laughter.indecision

    @LeatherGryphon:

    It would be more sit-down comedian, but as former class clown of Benton Elementary and Polk County High School, I already consider myself Semi-Pro. cheeky I bought George Carlin's first album. Then all the good comedy albums I could find through the years. It only stopped when the best new comedians weren't the ones cutting albums. Now I have a new favorite in Henry Cho. He's got a lot of "Reels" on facebook, I haven't checked, but he probably has stuff on YouTube. South Korean, born in Tennessee, he's a real hoot.

    And when you imitate Jack Benny, don't forget the perfectly timed "Well..." that went with that gesture.wink

    ...on the topic pf dancing....

    "The tune comes one, two, three times in the hands—and when it comes the fourth time in the feet, I dance the gigue!"

    --Virgil Fox the flamboyant concer organist on percorming J.S. Bach's Fuge in G Major [ala Gigue] (BVW577) during his "Heavy Organ" concert at Winterland in San Franacisco :

    I've performed it, and he is right.

    Dear-oh-dear-oh-deer:   This morning momma deer, and two pre-pubescent fawns who had lost their spots but still only about half the size of momma, were grazing on the neighbor's lawn outside my kitchen window.  They had come from the woods behind the neighbor-up-the-hill, then stayed for about 5 minutes on the lawn munching something tasty, then sauntered the rest of the way down and watchfully crossed the road for a day down in the swamp.  Window was too dirty for photographs and opening the door would have scared them away.  You'll just have to take my word for it.

    Complaint:  Gotta clean that kitchen window.frown

    Noncomplaint:  I finally got a response from a couple of cleaning companies.  I'd advertised for someone to thoroughly clean & wax my kitchen & bathroom floors (better than I was able to do) including moving the stove & refrigerator to get underneath them, scrubbing the bathtub, baseboards & tiles.yes  One quote was twice the other.frown  So, what's the catch?  And unfortunatley, that means that I have to move my pantry and all it's contents from the shelves to somewheresad.  And I, just the day before, had cut up all my accumulated boxes in which to store the cans, jars, & boxes of foods while not on the shelf, so that the pantry shelves can be moved out of the room to be able to get the rug out from under them.  Bad timing.  Also, I still have that huge air-conditioner still in the box, that has absolutely nowhere else to go except out of the house onto the porch again.frown  If I can get the A/C box out of the kitchen I can buy a third tall, 5-level, shelf set to complete a three-wall pantry in the corner of the kitchen and have a place to store my things more neatly.  Anybody need a HUGE A/C?  Perhaps, I can interest the cleaning people, or perhaps El-Nino will make the rest of the summer so hot that someone around here will get desperate for one.indecision

    Actually, I did clean that window, just a few days ago.  Got the ladder, paper towels, Windex, long handled window squeegee tool bought recently specifically for this job, and bug spray.  Arghhh..., Spider!  Nasty spider.  Not the cute, little, black, slow moving, beautiful web weaver that's visited me every summer and set up his trap outside the window, but a fast, brown, vicious looking thing that created a chaotic mass of web.  I can put up with a couple daddy-long-legs in the house during the year, hiding behind the bookshelf (until it loiters too long in my sight and the vacuum is handy), and I can tolerate the cute beautiful web weaver on the outside of the window, but fast, big, brown ones are not tolerated at all!angry  Don't want her breeding anywhere near the house.  So I sprayed the window, got rid of the carcass with a brush.  Used the brush to get rid of a year's accumulation of leaf debris from the sideways sliding window track, sprayed with Windex, used the long handled squeegee to clean the window, packed everything up and took it all back inside to discover that the squeegee doesn't do a good job at all.sad  Now I have to take the ladder out again, find a way to get it closer to the window so that I can clean the window the old fashioned way with paper towels, Windex and elbow grease.  And life goes on (except for the brown spider).devil  Hopefully, the little black web weaver, or one of her kin, will come back if the brown one didn't eat her.sad

    Ah, missed that part of the 'Enterprise' series then. Not sure if it went behind a paywall or was dropped from my cable service.

    Pretty good series.  (Spoilers)  Especially the plot with the competing five species from one planet that were building massive spheres throughout space and sending a giant raygun to obliterate Earth**.  And even the time-travel plot had it's good parts, but the alien Nazis in WWII plot in the final year kinda left me cold.  Admittedly, It's been decades since I've seen it, so my memory may be muddled.  But in earlier years I liked the trip to a destroyed far future universe during the time war.  Also, I particularly liked watching Orlando get obliterated.  ZAAAAP!devil  And the scene of the "spheres" collapsing out of our dimension.cool  Good series.

    **Note:  I think they must have been using an Eludium Pew-36 Explosive Space Modulator.

    Weren't the spheres built by a differnt race of extra-dimensional thingies that could  detect probabilities and so plot to bring about their aims, who were using the five species from one planet as their catspaws?
