KhorTose Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 As to the Dom Deluise and Ethel Merman comparison, I can see the Dom Deluise humor component but I didn't know GB sang that loud... What you never heard GB sing as Count Almaviva in Rossini's "The Barber of Seville"? It is a life changing experience and I would recommend that you talk him into performing it for you on your next trip to Pattaya. I never had the pleasure of meeting John Wayne, but his thick skinned, super macho movie personality is not what I call manly----quite the opposite. If you hurt my feelings I am going to politely tell you that. Keep it up and then I will try the John Wayne approach. However, that will always be my fall back position, not my first approach. I see nothing unmanly about expressing my true feeling to another, until they prove themselves incapable of feeling or understandeing the pain they may have caused. I don't know why, but I always believed that everybody tries their best, we all say things that are stupid, and none of us delibertly tries to hurt another we are engaging in a conversation. I have found few exceptions to the above, but I may have been lucky. What is your experience? Quote
Gaybutton Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 What you never heard GB sing as Count Almaviva in Rossini's "The Barber of Seville"? Personally, I prefer my performance as Leporello in Don Giovanni, but maybe I'll do Count Almaviva next time Pattaya Players recruits me for the role. There was a scene in "War Wagon" in which Kirk Douglas and John Wayne are ambushed by two gunslingers as they exit a bar. Of course, they both draw and shoot down the gunslingers simultaneously: Kirk Douglas, proudly: "Mine hit the ground first." John Wayne, thinks for a moment: "Mine was taller." Quote

Gaybutton Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Sorry. I meant to say that Gaybutton is like a cross between Dom DeLuise and Shelley Winters. I guess that works. By the way, do you realize that if Totie Fields married Truman Capote, she'd be Totie Capote? If Zero Mostel and Robert De Niro were gay and married each other, we would probably have had Zero De Niro. Quote
Guest lvdkeyes Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Totie Fields said when she got married she told her husband "I can be good in only one room in the house, take your pick.", so they hired a cook and a maid. Quote
Bob Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 and Shelley Winters. In that case, I nominated GB to act in the next Poseidan Adventure movie (which, GB, will involve holding your breath for a long time and/or possibly owning an interest in a hotel in the Jomtien complex). Quote
Gaybutton Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 In that case, I nominated GB to act in the next Poseidan Adventure movie Just for that, if Suzanne Somers married Shelley Winters, she'd be Suzanne Somers Winters. Quote
Bob Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Lol....if they got married, wouldn't that make them Lebanese? "I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury." -Groucho Marx Quote
Guest lvdkeyes Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 If Jennifer Garner married James Garner then divorced and married John Warner then divorced and married Jack Warner she would be Jennifer Garner Garner Warner Warner. Quote
