Christmas Presents

Here are a few gifts for the season.

Best Comedian, Ever, Before You Knew Him
Bill Cosby, back in the sixties and seventies before his television shows, was the best stand-up comic there ever was. This is one of his classic routines.

Best Music You Have Never Heard
GrooveLily. They are an eclectic rock band out of New York. If you haven't heard them, and you probably haven't, you are missing a treat. Visit their website. Go, now, I'll wait....Now go to the website for the off-Broadway production of Striking 12, their New Year's Eve telling of "The Little Match Girl." It is funny and touching and heartwarming. Just what we need on these cold winter nights. I'll wait again....Did you visit the Media section? Did you listen to to the sample of "Sales Pitch" from the show's CD? I didn't think so. Go back....

Great Movie You May Have Missed
If you only know Barbara Stanwyck from "The Big Valley" or Fred MacMurray from his Disney films, you probably skipped this film noir classic. Don't.



The Great American Novel

Others will disagree. I know and don't care. This is the greatest novel by the greatest American writer. Period.

Television
You probably are already watching Battlestar Galactica, but for one moment do you think I would miss the opportunity to post a photo of that most striking of Cylons, Lucy Lawless.

At the risk of enraging the War on Christmas crowd, may the coming year bring Peace On Earth. Finally.

Lucy is a GODDESS! More D'Anna! I love Number III so much! Wonderfully evil, yet irrestable. She comes in, and takes Gaius right away from Six. Heh heh, of course she did! She always dose...xX

True...BG is awesome! In honor of the end of the second season, I did this little paste up, and hope like hell the new year doesn't bring a scenario like that.

Happy holidays KightErrant.

do you have permission to post that photo ever heard of copyright??

Which photo are you talking about? The publicity shot of GrooveLily that I used to promote their music? The theater poster to a 62 year-old film? The cover photo to an 80 year-old novel? Or, the photo of Lucy Lawless from her current television series? Be specific when you accuse me of theft.

I am aware of copyright laws. Are you aware of the laws concerning "Fair Use?"
