Hey, all. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Fig Mints is already taken as a band name. thefigmints.bandcamp.com I hope they haven't registered a trademark for the snack yet.

Dan from Toronto:
Good evening from points North. Let's see if I can't get these greasy dishes scrubbed.
i used to work at the Container Store in Manhattan. They had a strict anti-reefer policy (random testing). i wonder now back in Seattle if they have anti-reefer policy in Seattle (Bellevue?) store.... PROBably.

sugarwolf:
I could go for a croque madame right now, or a croque monsieur
otherwise, it's a very good place to work, at least fifteen years ago. except manhattan. that one is toxic, because they hadn't figured out how to make a profit in manhattan
@Scraps: Pretty much the same story with any chain business moving into modern NYC. The chain is stable elsewhere, but in NYC the bullshit makes the place toxic. Look up recent stories on “Trader Joe’s” in NYC and employee treatment. Sad but true.
@Scraps: It’s not a hard story to understand… NYC real estate for retail and living are insane. A chain comes to NYC and their business model fails because they have no idea how the system works here. Margins are razor thin. More and more pressure is put on employees. And so on and so on.
Yep. Also, where people are paid well in almost any place else, in New York not only they are not paid well (at the same wages), but they have to work two jobs. etc

Sorta like "Who played the title role in the classic 1931 'Frankenstein'?"
And in the Container Store, all of the stores have the same pricing. You can see how, in Manhattan, you're going to have problems right away
9:06pm
Dean:
Yow. Way trickier, like 11D chess tricky! Never mind the schmoe who played Liberty Valance. Or the cinematographer who, arguably, "shot Liberty Valance."
heya coela! This is a great timeslot for me, so I'm happy to be able to catch this show. Lose a show, gain a show, as it seems to go with the schedule shifting (which is a great idea overall) Also I lost my little radio, I hope my payments are going through! hah
actually the correct answer to who played the man who shot liberty valance is: David (inner ear detour); Joe McGasco; Frank O'Toole; Bill Kelly; Devon Lewis; & Dave Mandl.
Oh dear, no UM, not. Sorry...perhaps I'm too immature,emotionally. Or insufficiently Irish?

Carmichael:
Love these French singers! The French Rat Race is my favorite.
9:23pm
Dean:
I vaguely remember Sir George's Smorgasbord in the LA area, but I don't think my family ever actually went there.
Earlier this evening I read a transcript of a conversation between William Parker and Rob Brown. Brown grew up in Virginia, where he recalls seeing precisely two acts that impressed him at the time: Woody Herman's band and Dizzy.
maybe i'm admitting to awful taste in westerns, and i know it's not Ford and Leone or anything, but i like Silverado. except the Rosanna Arquette subplot, that is awful.
Most of us saw those movies on tv, squeezed to 4:3 and cut for commercials...over and over...before we had anything like TCM. They get into the blood, even ruined like that.
I recently saw a bit of "High Plains Drifter" from 1973, which Eastwood directed post-Leone ones, and the bit I saw was kind of atrocious compared to The Good, The Bad & The Ugly and such
I have the 2005 "Special Edition" edit of Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid sitting here on DVD for viewing, when I can find the time. It also has the 1988 "Turner Preview" edit on it.

Yes, John Wayne's two best roles...as he played assholes and not heroes.
"The Searchers" is indeed, great cinema.
Dean, Ford didn't make all te westerns that are great films. He was the guy that showed the genre could contain great films...in my view.
