NJC? Ah! language.... I have "sort of" followed this thread and if someone has already said this.. I apologise but I did wonder if it was a dual edged reference to Cocain use... The jittery, fumbling, emotional roller-coaster that cocaine seems to bring to those who use it would seem to fit the people at this party... There is the cutting of the coke into lines and then the perception of wit by the users.... I have never used the stuff myself but have been around those who do.... and the experience has never been short of educational!!! IT is very easy to feel isolated when the majority of people in a social situation are in on the "cut". However it does give one a wonderful chance to observe those who think they are being tinkling and bright and oh so witty.. when they are, more often than not, rambling, self absorbed, physically heading towards meltdown and completely incomprehensible when they do notice you are there... I went to one "bright gathering" where the majority turned up looking like the fashion plates in Vogue.. Hair by John Frieda, Shoes by Jimi Choo etc, etc., etc., Wow, did I feel humble (but I was helping my ex at a promo party for some group or another that was being launched by the record company he was working for at the time so was clad in regulation promo jacket, tee-shirt so it did not matter one bit)... ANYWAY..... the evening progressed with the queues to the toilets growing longer and longer until eventually one woman said VERY LOUDLY... "OH DARLINGS.....F**K this and swept a table clear of its contents and poured a large amount of powder onto the table.. and instantly everyone was there chopping and cutting the stuff into lines and within a few minutes it was all gone.... It is a moment that sticks in my mind as there was a moment that reminded me of a childhood toy I had.... Did any of you have the "pecking chickens" toy? it was a sort of flat paddle with a hole in the middle. Around the edge were some model chickens with articulated necks. a string led from somewhere in each chicken down through the hole and was the attached to a ball or some other weight.. when the bat was moved in a circular motion the ball would swing and the chickens would peck in sequence as the ball swung!!!!.... Anyone know what I am talking about or is it a singularly Brit thing? So.... there was just a brief moment where, one by one, the women went down to snort up the cocaine. Having snorted, they would stand up, continue sniffing.. almost to the point of sniffing themsleves up onto the points of their toes.... and the one next to them would do the same and then go down for another hit.. and this was repeated several times and it just was so funny... Anyway that was one of my thoughts about "some are cutting". final thing about cutting remarks... Winston Churchill was one for cutting remarks. you must all know by now his famous put down to (I think Lady Astor) who admonished hiim for being drunk..... "sir, you are drunk" she said "madam, you are very ugly, but tomorrow I shall be sober" was his reply! OK bring on the day.....

Yes, Mike Pritchard, Brewer's Phrase and Fable is a terrific reference book. Recommend it to any who's interested in English usage. Still very much in print. Haven't got mine to hand but there's another type of cutting to mention; 'feeling cut up' -- dejected, miserable... don't hear it much nowadays but it's rather a useful expression here (I'm in England). ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 08:31:44 -0000 From: "Lucy Hone" Subject: Hell TEst (njc) Wally darling!!!

Lucy whose score was 129.... but I did include things from my childhood... I do not find disability funny any more but at 10 it was.... so I think some of the list need to go back to their roots and realise that just because the priest at confession said you were forgiven..... that does not count!!!!!! Oh no...... All those eyeball suckings, giggling behind hands at those less fortunate and other misdeameanours still count, even if you have been told you are absolved.....

Glad to hear that the stuff actually doesn't make you brimming with wit and perception. I thought I might have been missing out. Another Churchill bon mot: when told by a woman that his fly was open, he replied: "Madame, dead birds don't fall out of nests."

I'm not sure exactly when it appeared, but I think it was last year that the Bowie special came out. It's absolutely superb, with fascinating and detailed pieces about every phase of his career, lots of interviews with friends, managers, lovers, bandmates and contemporary movers and shakers. It's sent me back to the Space Oddity Album, maybe to work my way through the whole of his magnificent 70s catalogue. Any Bowie fans need not hesitate. That's it really.

I read in last saturday's El Pais (I've only read it today :-( : Rosie Thomas: Only with laughter can you win: Her debut in 2002 "When we were small" served to awaken the curiosity on this Seattle's songwriter more known by her alter ego, Sheila, a kind of comic Stand-Up Comedy style. The 2nd musical work of the serious side from Thomas confirms expectatives. Her heavenly voice charms ["embelesa", truly] while the lyrics inject melancholy. Other instruments join the piano and acoustic guitar and a colaboraters's court homely. And the title is a wink to her admiration to Joni Mitchell.

I do absolutely nothing for a living as I'm in the process of ditching freelancing and going back to full-time work. And by god is it a stressful process. But in theory I'm an information security consultant/trainer/general all-round internet techie. Nothing Joni-related in any of that. Main hobby (unsurprisingly for those that know me) is the band and it's a shared love of Joni that collided us together in the first place. That's a hell (test score just over 100...) of a lot to be thankful for, and I frequently reflect on that when paragraph 1 of this message starts to get on top of me.

I remember hearing a quick blurb about this on the news last week, but didn't see the "Film at Eleven" bits. JAGs are a breed apart from Line officers, and they definitely know the system. I suspect this individual felt entitled to comment on legal matters because he IS a lawyer. I don't think a Navy ship driver (the slight's intended...I'm militarily parochial), an AF Wing commander or a senior Army/Marine ground pounder would feel as free to comment.

I believe he was still studying at Harvard when I first saw him. Perhaps he started playing in Cambridge for a few dollars and the fun of it, as many of us old "folkies" used to do. " Well, this helps explain something to me. Back when I was a junior at Harvard (1975-76) I took a course in Folklore and Mythology from Professor Albert Lord. One day he had Tom Rush come in for a special lecture, and for two hours Rush taught us about folk music, demonstrating on his guitar. I wonder now whether or not Rush was a student of Professor Lord's - must have been. I did not know much about Tom Rush or Joni Mitchell at the time, but a year later I was a bona fide Joniphile, after hearing "For the Roses" and "Court and Spark" for the first time.

My issue arrived today, and as usual, is the best music magazine out there. Just go to www.pastemagazine.com to see more about the magazine, which always comes with a cd of about 21 to 23 entire tracks (not snippets). They mention in this issue that the next issue will contain something about Jonatha, and it wouldnt surprise me if it were a cover story. we'll just have to wait and see! Also on this sampler cd is a new track from Lisa Loeb's upcoming CD (April I think). Paste got a sneak peak at the music. _________________________________________________________________ Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 05:38:25 -0000 Subject: [ffstrangers] Re: 'Better After All' on Paste CD To quote directly from the magazine what they said about Jonatha, "Fans of Aimee Mann or Beth Orton's folkier moments will enjoy Ms. Brooke--a veteran artist now hitting her stride. You'll read all about her in our next issue--but groove to her brand new single now." Paste is a rather recent magazine, but one that is very much worth your money. Don't know if the new issue is on the newstands yet, but mine arrived by mail. You can't beat the price of the magazine when you consider the high quality, plus the fact that you get a free CD of about 22 tracks with each issue! I warn you, this magazine is *dangerous* to your wallet though. I am constantly looking for more CD's from artists showcased in the magazine. Borders tends to carry Paste, and probably all the big bookstores do by now. Definately worth the investment! And I would highly suggest ordering all the back issues, too (all still shipped with the sampler CD!). ~ Lori ~ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 16:39:00 -0800 From: "Victor Johnson" Subject: Ping pong balls.....(njc) January 23, 2004 02:07 PM EST Bob Keeshan, Captain Kangaroo, Dies at 76 Bob Keeshan appears in character as Captain Kangaroo on the television show's set at CBS in New York, on Oct. 19, 1981.

I've enjoyed reading the replies from the last week, and agree that it's a fun way to fill out the picture of this community. I am an events manager for a non-profit performing arts presenter, which means that I do the fundraising and cultivation parties for my organization - I'm the party girl! We present mostly classical music and dance in Boston, bringing talent from around the world to Boston stages. I love what I do - love that I can feel like I am making a difference by helping to bring beauty to people. Part of what I do is help to make the arts available to a broader audience by raising money to subsidize ticket prices. Joni has been my primary artist for more than 30 years, but music has been central to my existence for longer than that. Other hobbies include bicycling (Holland, here we come!), travel, food - cooking and eating it, movies, gardening...and you know there may be more.
