Good morning GUSBalihais!!!!! I'm calling! Ok, right -- be surprised I'm actually posting. Rub it in -- I have muscle to ward you all off.
I love old musicals and gay rights. Silkie thinks he's the king of musicals and gay rights but (jazz hands) ignore button. I'm still on a bit of a high after the Friday SCOTUS meltdown by Scalia. Hahahahahaha! He'd never fit into our group and I'm not saying I hope he smokes because that would be against our unwritten charter.
Sooooo, after loving the CNN flag debacle after the White House, SF Opera House, Niagra Falls, Empire State Building, etc. rainbows, I thought I'd continue the buzz.
How utterly perfect is GUS -- total group of addicts (we never lose the addiction) -- to be the most generous loving site herein. Ok, there's a few others but we have to elbow them out to be the best.
The word, gay, has been in the English/American lexicon back to Middle English meaning, "light, cheerful,etc." How genius? In the early to mid 20th century music, gay was still the same definition. Embrace it. It is so lovely. And speaking of which
Adorable with the cocked bow tie and lovely almost rainbow color theme.
GUS (Gave Up Smoking) is a community support diary for Kossacks in the midst of quitting smoking. Any supportive comments, suggestions or positive distractions are appreciated. If you are quitting or thinking of quitting, please -- join us! We kindly ask that politics be left out.
You can also click the GUS tag to view all diary posts, or access the GUS Library at dKosopedia for a great list of stop-smoking links. Check it out! GUS library.
A message to ALL quitters. You don't have to avoid GUS if you have a failed quit. We won't give you a bad time and we consider the failed quits as "practice" for the real quit.
Quit Keeper widget which is an outstanding aid for those beginning the difficult path to quitting. It lets you know how long you haven't smoked, how many cigs you haven't smoked, how much money you've saved.
Quit Smoking Counter h/tGDbot. For those of you who have had a problem with Quit Keeper or want a different counter!
I went to the Proms (where Overton was singing in London) back in the late '80s. My opera buddy and I rushed back on train from York and got our first cab in order to not miss it. I have no memory of the performance -- just the ambiance. Music for the rubes and moneyed. Lovely.
The reason I love GUS is because we are so amazingly younger than springtime and gayer than laughter. Stunning, really. It is like we are all flumpty and silkie and me (of course --- I'm like the Ted Cruz here).
Bali Hai --
Damn, Juanita Hall is so great!!!!! Yeah, why am I not seeing an award for her performance as Bloody Mary? We know.
We wimmen have come a long way from this musical but I do love this song!!!
We need our addictions addressed!!!! And we do here with the best people ever. I have issues but youz guyz always give me a break.
Alright, only because silkie asked for it
I can sing every word. Silkie was 7 yo so ignore his comments. And yes Andrew Lloyd Webber sucked after this piece. Silkie is all omg Godspell (har! pathetic).
Let's continue on a high note with one of my favorite singers (former Cat Stevens) and genius movie that everyone should see -- Harold and Maude
Watch to the end but it doesn't work without
RIP Ruth Gordon -- genius performance. Blessings, Bud Cort -- a performance of a lifetime and then . . . . Really, see the movie.
