  2. I know a lot a I know a lot I think about the world before I was born, I just have never heard of Sheena Easton. Yet I do know who Glenn Miller, Lawrence Welk, and Arlene Francis are. Sheena was never discussed by any of my family members.
  3. I'm afraid that would be Pop's area of expertise... he's the sports guy!
  4. Every single presidential candidate that won the popular vote but lost the electoral college (and thus the Presidency) was a Democrat who was either from Tennessee or New York. 1824: Andrew Jackson of Tennessee (would be elected in 1828) 1876: Samuel J. Tilden of New York 1888: Grover Cleveland of New York 2000: Al Gore of Tennessee 2016: Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York
  5. A big nose on a hot guy sometimes really works.
  6. I was born in the mid-80s. Also, is she perhaps better known in Europe than in the United States?
  7. I do know that Shirley Jones was in Carousel and won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Elmer Gantry.

  10. LOL.... You're right. I seem to want the moon and the stars...
  11. Yeah that and Soapdish I think too lol.
  12. Best Actress Oscar nominee for Sounder, which I never saw but its on my list. I believe if I'm not mistaken she was the second black woman to be nominated for Best Actress after Dorothy Dandridge.
  13. Hi everyone, I'm writing a comedy. Might be a play or a movie, I'm not sure. It's a little tribute to the once very popular daytime soap opera, a genre that's dying out. The premise is that a lonely, pathetic, overweight gay man (played by me of course ) who's life revolves around his favorite soap opera finds out it's being cancelled to his great dismay. Then he finds himself transported into the world of the soap, and its crazy little town of Shady Grove. He winds up being a part of every storyline. The plot thickens with the mysterious arrival of the Shady Grove Slayer, who kills off the beloved characters one by one. The identity of the Shady Grove Slayer is revealed in a plot twist - and the ending is surprisingly touching. I sorta combined Soapdish, Pleasantville, and The Final Girls together. Here are the main characters: DANNY KATZ — A diehard soap fan in his early 40s with no life. He’s watched every single episode of his favorite soap. He’s transported into the show. GRANDMA IRIS — Danny’s beloved grandmother, has been gone now for years. She hooked him on the soap since he was five. He came out to her first. LITA LOVELACE — The long-suffering central heroine who’s been through the mill in many overly dramatic, hilarious storylines. SABLE LaRUE — An Erica Kane type, a diva who started out in poverty and made herself into a Hollywood star. She’s been married 21 times. BOLT BIGELOW — The town’s aging hunk who never keeps his shirt on. CARRINGTON WALLINGFORD — The town’s richest man and its most villainous. Nobody in the town likes him because of all the terrible things he's done to them. CHARLIE WALLINGFORD — Carrington’s kind, sweet twin brother who couldn’t be more different than his brother. TRUDY — A funny, warm-hearted waitress who is really Sable’s mother. KENT ROGAN — Lita’s dashing soulmate who keeps coming back from the dead. Lita and Kent are the town's famous supercouple. DR. JIM HARTLEY — Shady Grove’s most trusted man, the town’s doctor, married to Vita. VITA LOVELACE HARTLEY — “Everyone’s grandmother”, married to Jim, also mother of Lita. Jim and Vita have been on the soap since its first episode. I'd like for it to star all of those soap actors that lost their jobs when their soaps were cancelled. Love to see some of these talented people return in comeback roles. I'd love your feedback and advice on it. Any tips on how I can make it better would be appreciated. I'm also stuck on something - the name of the soap itself... all I have so far is Forever and a Day...
  14. Immigration issues from when Cheeto was President.

  16. Eleanor might be hard to cast.
  17. "As a _______" .... like "As a gay man, I think diapers on a man are hot". lol
  18. I was thinking that too. I think with all the restrictions on the gyms the bodybuilders of America are anxiously waiting to get back in.
  19. Nice guy - he's unfortunately so far away, in the Middle East right now. He seems like a great person to sit down and talk to.
  20. That's quite a .... everything! lol

    Boston

    I loved Calamus Bookstore... I spoke with the younger man that ran it after the older man died. Sadly it is no longer there... but while it was here in Boston, boy that was my favorite place to go in the whole city - and then I'd go to my second favorite place, Surf City Squeeze at South Station. ? I'm so grateful I was able to experience the gay bookstore -- Calamus and also Giovanni's Room in Philadelphia.
  23. Will have to read that!
