So, you've got something against potty humor? You mean when you're drunk you actually don't laugh at it? I agree with Miles that "Chicago" was not as innovative as "Moulin Rouge" and that it was basicially a Fosse fest. But that second point is precisely why I enjoyed the movie so much.

A lot of the "problem" with her though is that we're constantly being informed how attractive she is. Obviously there are many men who do find her attractive -- see Eb -- but no one is attractive to everyone, and it gets to be annoying that Roberts publicists etc are constantly haranging us about how hot you are almost required to think she is. I can see what you are talking about though -- she's not Pamela Anderson, who I find outright repulsive (which, my emaciated horse crack notwithstanding, I wouldn't say about Roberts though I do think she is somewhat horsefaced and could stand to eat a few more cheeseburgers). > Hmmm, so all of you would shout "Ick no, you emancipated horse" > to Julia Roberts if you were stuck in an elevator with her and > she asked you to hold her? > > Suuuurrrrreeeee. > > BTW--Susan Saradon is also seen as an us.

I checked the web, and it's not nearly as bad as I feared: it supposedly means a woman whose body is totally hot, "but her face..."

Thank goodness for drum machines, that's what I say. In my musical career (such as it has been) I've had a number of run-ins with drummers. One turned up for a gig having had several bottles of Merrydown (sweet, very alcoholic cider) during the course of the day. A couple of songs into the set he lead off one song, and went 'tap tap tap THUD' - he'd fallen off his stool (and the back of the stage) and was lying on his back on the floor, arms and legs still going. Another one got drunk during a set, resulting in me and the bass player doing an impromptu acoustic set whilst he sobered up a bit. Unfortunately he ended up in the audience, shouting abuse at us (I've still got a recording of this, it's almost worthy of the Troggs tapes). Finally another drummer turned into a primadonna and would sometimes refuse to play because he didn't like the ambience of the place. What's perhaps more worrying is that two of those drummers were actually musicians - one a trombonist and another a very good sax/guitar/bass player. cheers john ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 10:13:35 -0800 From: "Rex.Broome" Subject: It's a Strolloping Good Friday!
