The contestants were alledgedly Islanders, not Mainlanders.<BR/><BR/>They actually gave away a Caribbean Cruise, to one of the big winners. How many kilovolts, pre-wired to the sandals, does it take to get the Lucky Contestant, to jump up and down, at [i]that[/i]?<BR/><BR/>Mahola! It snows, where I live.

They do it on the island of Maury. They’re celebrating the miracle where they thought Jack Lord’s hair only had enough oil to last one day. Then they realized you could drill horizontally and get beneath the shale. (<I>Hey, we only have until the 29th to milk this story line.</I>)<BR/><BR/>BTW, since you brought it up, few realize that <B>the mystery of Lew Wasserman</B> was actually revealed in the Da Vinci Code – along with the fact that Mary Magdalen’s middle name happened to be “<I>Zeta</I>,” and the 5th station of the cross was <I>crudités.</I> Also that you can’t not giggle pronouncing it in the actual Latin, “DaWinky.”<BR/><BR/>Legend has it that when the Pope of Hollywood and his wife Edith hosted the Pope of Rome (John Paul, Jr.) at their home in the late 1980s, the DGA strike had Universal way behind schedule. So Lew went for the deal. He offered the Holy Father a million-five to change the words in the Lord’s Prayer from “give us this day our daily bread,” to “give us this day our daily rushes.” Pope said they just couldn’t swing it.<BR/><BR/>So Lew ups the ante to $5-million plus points. Pope can’t believe his ears. Lew explains, “Look Johnny, we’re not talking a major re-write here, just one word – bread to rushes. If ya’ want, we won’t even need a whole new word. What say we just go with “dailies” and lose the bread? How ‘bout $7.5 mil, back-end deal, and Europe?<BR/><BR/>By the time Wasserman gets up to throwing in 50% of home video, the Pope turns to the Archbishop of L.A. and says, “Archie, ring up the Morris Agency and see how much longer we got on the Pepperidge Farm deal.”<BR/><BR/>True story. OK, not. But do you know how hard it is to work a bit like this into the conversation?<BR/><BR/>Mahalo, gotta go rake leaves, but nice checking in with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-90267634287336103512008-12-14T08:00:00.000-08:002008-12-14T08:00:00.000-08:00"drame"--the only G-rated term ever used to descri..."drame"--the only G-rated term ever used to describe Tallulah Morehead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-29415231444392110432008-12-14T02:59:00.000-08:002008-12-14T02:59:00.000-08:00What, no Tony Curtis paintings?(wv: drame - dame w...What, no Tony Curtis paintings?<BR/><BR/><BR/>(wv: drame - dame who likes a drink).blogwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07362291687463326731noreply@blogger.com
