I didn’t see the play, but during the 1967 I heard a great deal about it being connected to the actor Robert Morse. I think he made the movie, which was a fun musical. Believe it or not Rudy Valee was in it as Jasper Biggley and Maureen Arthur was Hedy LaRue. The Wiki says that Robert Morse is still alive at 83 y/o. His height was only 5ft 5inches. Only Tom Cruise comes close to that these days. I always have admired actors and doctors because they make their living by using their memory. My memory is adequate, but less so as time moves on. A good actor actually becomes that person while in the role.

"A good actor actually becomes that person while in the role."

That is exactly why I stopped acting.

I was in college at the time. I had a long string of both comedic and dramatic roles including some good quality summer stock productions under my belt.

I was wondering out loud why my girlfriend broke up with me and my roommate said "For the same reason your going to have to find a new roommate next year. No one knows who you might be from day to day."

I made Stanislavski proud.

Jeff Fisher is a no-nonsense coach. All he cares about is whether Sam can play or not. Now that this is out in the open and his team didn't know about it, he's got probable cause to cut Sam.

Goodell is completely destroying the NFL. He is alienating die-hard fans and turning the sport into a leftist laboratory. Watch as the homosexual lobby will put pressure on the NFL to "reach out" to more homosexual players, hire homosexual coaches, and even wear rainbow flag emblems on their jerseys like they have the U.S. flag. Fans are going to get disgusted and leave; players will quit or retire early.

The homosexual agenda has nothing to do with "equality." It is all about destroying traditional institutions and leaving them hollowed out and then they move on to the next institution.

This boy better concentrate on his ability to play because if he doesn’t he is going to have his a#se handed to him (so to speak}.

Sam I Am is the homosexual Ryan Leaf and locker room poison. The sooner the Rams cut him, the better. The organization already has jeopardized its off season and training camp activities.

Anyone interested in this nonsense can log on to a gay porn site. Sam is a fraud and Oprah promotes frauds.

Your point supports what I have been explaining why I feel that so much of the Hollyweird crowd is so impressionable, or should I say gullible.

They have spent all of their time being someone else that they have totally forgotten who they are. So in desperation, they are gullible enough to latch onto anything the crowd around them tells them they are just to be accepted. It is an overriding deep desire they have to be liked.

I was watching the History of the Eagles yesterday and something struck me about how they went for total abusers of drink and drugs to a total ban on them while they were doing anything Eagles. It hit me when they were talking about how accepting the crowds were when they got back together that I put this one to my sense of logic.

The euphoria they feel while on stage is the thing they were trying to put into their lives off stage and tried everything they could to keep that on stage feeling when not performing. It was only in their retrospect that their love of the music combined with their families was good enough and the performance was just icing on the cake.

I think you are dead on in your personality analysis.

Your point about the Eagles and their ban on drugs is further borne out in the lives of many other stars both in the music and acting world. Aerosmith, Robert Duvall, Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins ... the list goes on and on.

Then there are those who don’t get that message and their names are those lamented as passing too early - Joplin, Hendricks, Winehouse and many, many others whose lives end at midpoint because of immersion in ersatz euphoria.

1. I bet these idiots thought that because he’s drafted he’s on the team.

2. I bet he was molested as a child and there were already plans to edit that out of this “reality” show.

I am 100% certain you’re correct on your point #1.

I am 95% sure you are correct on point #2. The question on #2 would be, was the perp someone like The Usurper’s “Pop?” Or perhaps some other school’s version of Jerry Sandusky?

In his first days, he might make a good tight end. After that, he may not be tight enough for the title.

How to get rich and famous in this country.
Not by hard work and intelligence, but by membership in a government-favored victim group.

NFL now has a new position. Along with halfback, fullback, running back, quarterback, cornerback and defensive back, it now has blowback.

Wonder how many Rams fans are putting there season tickets on eBay?

Bingo.
If he flops in the NFL, he’ll join Jesse and Rev Al with a weekly TV show.

It was Joe Walsh’s retrospect on his issues when he asked the question as to whether Hemmingway without the alcohol or Hendrix without the LSD could have reached their levels of creativity. He justified his use of alcohol and cocaine to that mind set, until after he went through rehab and in thinking about that, he said it never crossed his mind that those you also mentioned were all dead.

It was quite illuminating to see the retrospect interviews with all the band members over the years.

Sadly, while the NFL continues to push this kind of cultural decay, many conservative Americans will continue to support the NFL and, by extension, the cultural decay.
