| I appreciated the discussion of flop seventies musicals, common or uncommon turns of phrase, and some of the posters’ answers made me laugh. Ya done good. Now go wash your foot. What else can we do around here for fun these days? Laura, still in plumbing limbo |

| but you might consider watching (and or maybe writing) a musical version of "Cluny Brown" Ernst Lubitsch (he with the Lubitsch touch)'s charming comedy about a lady plumber starring Jennifer Jones and Charles Boyer. Or maybe that's too much plumbing for you to take. | |

| Oh, PlayWiz, I’m long past the grin and bear it stage, and am now flailing in the Pit of Despair. I will file your helpful suggestion for later. Laura, hoping the form she had notarized results in the Magical Necessary Permit |

| Agreed. I find it helpful to have some pleasurable, escapist, and (yikes) I admit even, sometimes, nostalgic memories and discussion in ATC in the mix of my otherwise much more sobering and/or challenging online "content engagement." | |

| Thanks, showtunetrivia and dreambaby. When I noticed the new comments in response to my original post this morning, I thought it best to get ahead of the curve and make an apology or explanation or clarification to head off further negative reaction to my misleading post. Just to set the record straight, I'm a big fan of Kamala Harris and was delighted by her reference (even if I read too much Broadway into it that wasn't really there). |

| I'm pretty sure I've heard newscasters and others on tv say at certain points "Ya Got Trouble" and maybe even adding "Right here in River City" when talking about some incidents in the news at certain points over the years. When Dolly the sheep was introduced to the world there were lots of "Hello, Dolly!" references, as well as when there was a story about Dolly Parton. Theater fans like us eat that kind of stuff up! | |
