WAITIN' BY THE SWANEE

FOR MJ's RETURN

CAROL & HARRY'S BUICK

SEEMS MISS CHANNINGS' RIDE HAS BEEN
 GRABBED BY SOME DEALER AND IS NOW UP FOR GRABS.
THEY'RE ONLY ASKING A PALTRY $28,900.00.

IT'S A 1970 ELECTRA CONVERTIBLE.

NO DOUBT SHE TOOK EXQUISITE CARE OF THIS MOTOR CAR.

I THINK SHE AUTOGRAPHED THE TITLE.

WONDER IF SHE PENNED THIS WHILE THE CAR WAS

 TOOLING DOWN THE BOULEVARD

 OR IF SHE WAS SITTING MOTIONLESS

IN THE LIVING ROOM.

Remember that line Carol Matthau said to Walter as he 

oogled a Swedish starlet and queried her about her age?

"For god's sake, Walter why don't 

you chop of her legs and read the rings!"

Sadly, it seems appropriate here.

WHY DOES RUSSIA HAVE A MICROPHONE?

1.PUTIN.

2. CONDUCTOR VASILY PETRENKO SAYS OF MARIN ALSOP WHO WAS THE FIRST WOMAN TO CONDUCT THE FINAL NIGHT OF THE BBC PROMS, "WOMEN ARE A DISTRACTION AND THAT A CUTE GIRL ON A PODIUM MEANS THAT MUSICIANS THINK ABOUT OTHER THINGS."

3. RUSSIA'S FEDERAL SERVICE FOR SUPERVISION OF COMMUNICATIONS, IT & MASS MEDIA ANNOUNCED ON 9/12 THAT IT HAD WARNED THE EVROKINO TV CHANNEL FOR AIRING THE 2007 FRENCH MUSICAL, "LES CHANSONS D'AMOUR" (LOVE SONGS). THE AGENCY SAID THE FILM CONTAINS "PROPAGANDA OF NONTRADITIONAL SEXUAL RELATIONS."

4. ALL THE HATEFUL CRAP THAT'S BEEN EMANATING OUT OF RUSSIA THIS YEAR.

5. I'M DONE WITH RUSSIA.

Elegance is not easy to define, but we recognize it the moment we see it.

I suppose I'd never seen a photo of the young Helen Mirren, 

so when I saw this one I was shocked. 

I find it tough to see today's Helen in yesterday's picture.

LX did a bang up job of naming the old broad!

Bravo darling!

***

I'm considering parting gifts for one and all and this 

is what's on my short list. You likey?

and it's "remarkably priced."

MYSTERY GUEST
