Yes, he used to be a regular dancer at Adonis / LA a few years ago using the name Israel.

If I could afford it, this would be my realtor of choice, hands down. (I was floored when I saw his ad on a bus stop bench in Beverly Hills!) https://www.compass.com/agents/la/michael-bergin/

Excellent new documentary about music coming out of LA in the 60's called ECHO IN THE CANYON. The soundtrack consists of Jakob Dylan singing great cover versions from that era, all in duet with other cool artists. Worth checking out...

Jet fuel prices may come done, but the airlines will NEVER undo all the cost cutting / profit inflating measures they now know they can get away with. That ship has sailed (pardon the pun).

If every airline could stop shrinking seat space, that would help, too.

Another one that that stands out in my memory. It's better than the movie itself, which is not unusual. There are companies in Hollywood that do nothing but creative credit sequences, separate and apart from the movie production itself.

One of my most memorable opening sequences on the big screen was for the movie CONTACT. I remember it getting applause in the theater! It's all about the sound...

You didn't say "What IS...."

I am also into genealogy and have found great value in obituaries/death notices. Additionally, online, it provides friends past and present an opportunity to express memories and condolences. I had a great aunt whom I had lost track of long ago. Through the Social Security death index, I learned she died recently at the age of 104 - a record in my family tree. She was survived by one son and his wife. They didn't bother to post a death notice at all. I felt so bad for her - living to be 104 and not one mention of her passing. As if she never existed at all.

Well, they do say that his run on the show has brought the highest ratings they've seen in 15 years.

This explains a lot. I do find his smile and general facial contortions pretty creepy. And, I hate to admit this, but I do kinda root for him to lose because he strikes me as someone who was doing pretty good in life before winning all that money. (He mentioned his four year old daughter has already traveled to 14 different countries.) Also, it seems a large part of his winning is his prowess with the buzzer. More often than not, I see the other contestants frantically pushing their buzzer because they know the answer but it's almost like they can't get through. But I do have to give him props on his intelligence. He gets a lot of answers right that I couldn't even guess at. I also like his strategy of always starting with the highest priced questions.

The head belongs to the incredibly handsome and sexy Tyler Hoechlin, who I doubt would pose for a pic like this. But I'll bet it's not far off the mark. A guy can dream, can't he?

Correct on both counts, Geoman. Here's another....

One of my favorite Rentmen-isms: I am traveling to: Mar 20 - Mar 20 Los Angeles, CA Mar 19 - Mar 22 Miami, FL Huh??

Thanks fellas; the first week after i signed up I got one email playlist from Adonis NY (useless to me), and nothing more from them. And nothing at all from Adonis LA. (Nothing in junk mailbox either.) I figured I'd try to sign up with them again, and it said 'this email address is already registered'. Guess it's not meant to be.

A few weeks ago I signed up for their email alerts which are supposed to give the dancer line-ups for the nights they perform at FUBAR in West Hollywood. (Wednesdays and Sundays.) I have yet to receive any of those notifications. Have they entirely abandoned trying to predict what dancers would show up on any given night?

I'm sick of Kelly Rippa's ad for Ancestry.com. She acts like it's such a revelation that she comes from Italian heritage - like she wouldn't have known that if not for Ancestry's DNA kit. Wouldn't one be somewhat aware of such a simple basic fact about one's self from a much younger age than she is?

Just like Rose Marie last year, they no sooner release a documentary and then they pass on a few weeks later... https://www.psfilmfest.org/2019-ps-film-festival/film-finder/kaye-ballard-the-show-goes-on

When I log in, I see a box asking me if I want to stay longed in or not.

I know he doesn't advertise very much (unless he's traveling). I believe he lives in Palm Springs. Does anyone know if he's generally available there if contacted privately? (If he's not, I'd feel funny about asking him directly - but that's on me.) I could use an excursion to Palm Springs, especially with him as an incentive! I also wonder if he's aware of this thread and the renewed interest in him - and if he'll be bombarded as a result. (I could swear he used to post on this site occasionally quite a while back.) Could make it even harder to connect.
