Nah, you're getting your Latin and Greek mixed up. Homo as in 'man' is pronounced "hoemoe", but homo as in 'same' is pronounced "hommoe" (or "hommuh"). Admittedly, I have disregarded this fact in a review...

That only works if you say it with a British accent - yanks use a short 'o' (like box) on homonym. |

And, although I've heard of Pullman, I'm not sure what its got to do with snakes. You wanna share it with us?
The movie is "Snakes on a TRAIN", and my review was Pullman Pythons. Never mind. Some people got it.
I've voted for everyone up till now, and am getting ready for Monday's round.
(And yes, I did make Turkey this weekend. Mind you, it was only turkey legs and we had it on Friday night instead of Thursday. Still... ) |

V&V.
Ah, Steve Goodman. I can remember seeing a set of his back in 1971 at a tiny folk club in Athens, GA. [Although we were actually normal-sized folk, ta-BOOM!] I believe he performed "City of New Orleans" that night -- this was before Arlo Guthrie made it a big big hit -- but what I remember most is that the club only sat about 50 people, and Goodman was just a few feet away from us: no amplification, nothing but a guitar and a songwriting master. We knew the proprietor, so we found ourselves at a gathering later with Goodman -- not that damn many fewer people at the party! -- and marveled at how quick and funny he was. We, who had never heard of Steve Goodman before [and as far as we knew, he was just a friend of the owner's who could play the guitar and had some really good songs], judged him a lesser-known John Prine who would certainly become a Jim Croce-ish star one day. What a tragedy that two of those three gentlemen left us far too soon -- and keep on keepin' on, Mr. Prine! |

All dun.
Yukon: Really liked your "Carnival Knowledge", but don't see the point of your "Defiant Ones" review - it's obviously more than one because the title is plural, signifying two or more defiant folk, surely? |
