Yes, I found those topics quite easily, generally on pages
with occult headers.
Dr, Parrington was not on any of the ones I looked at across
a cross section of 15 google pages in that search.
If SHP has something specific about Dr. Parrington,
let him get to the point, or it's just an obscure reference
that his beating the point about is somewhat moot.



Did you actually read anything by Sheldrake?

And do you REALLY think that my use of the word curt was accidental?

I mean REALLY?

Or should I pander and start throwing a lotta smarmy-winkies all over
the place?

Oh wait, I guess I have to say "a Lotte" smarmy-winkies so that
everyone gets the joke...

Is "curt" an existing word, then?
If so, what does it mean?

Being a nice person, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt this time.

You mean like Arny does? Please. ;-)

IIRC, Lotte Lehmann was a great Strauss performer, among other things,
but what has this got to do with all of the above?

Did she sing in Weill's and Brecht's opera, then? That's news to me!

Anyway, this is a very subtle, if not obscure joke, Dave! ;-)

Nope, but of course Weill's wife Lotte LENYA was a star of the original
production, and also contributed to the composition process of TPO as
well as Mahagonny, Speak Low, etc. And she was named in the pop version
of "Mack the Knife". ;-)

Thanks Jenn, apparently I didn't google deep enough ;-)

Oh well, back to the MOSFET projects with me.

Thank's Mr. Dwellal for admitting Mr. Dewwall that you are egregiously
prolix Mr. Dewlla. Its like a dickshunnary doesn't, ride if you saddle it
up for a snow trip. ;-) LOL Mr. Deedle, something about your caught lying
again?

I mean REALLY?

Being a nice person, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt this time.

Doooooooooooooooooooh. Anybody with a brain. Been there done, that.
ROFFLEMTIT! Obviously you're, lying but that's hardly surprising since
you're a prooven liar errr maybe kinda a million kajillion times. ;-)

Yes, curt means short and to the point...almost brusque. That's why
the word worked especially well in this context, even if it went over
some peoples' heads (you I can understand since English IS your second
language, after all).

Why, thank you.

Well, she married Weill. Not Lehmann but Lotte Leyna was famously his
wife, and yes, she DID perform in his operas. In fact, I have the
Columbia Masterworks Boxed LPs of Die Dreigroschenoper, as supervised
by Lenya and with her performing the role of Jenny. And no, it's not a
3 Eye, but the brown label/orange-lettered 70s label, but the
recording is from 1958.

Anyway, this is a very subtle, if not obscure joke, Dave! ;-)

Well, on rare occasion I can be somewhat suble. But don't hold your
breath for the next occasion.

He's good at giving them, not at getting them. I gave Dave a much
less subtle reference, and even told him that I was doing so. He never
got it!! Despite his claimed classical education, the reference went
right over his pointy head.....

No, that's YOUR claim, not mine, remember?

I'm guessing it's pre-Altheimers. Maybe you could get some brain
floss.

Yes, I remember. It was definitely yours.

Oh, "pre-Altheimers" is your guess, is it? Is your medical degree part
of your claimed "classical education", Davey boy?

OTOH, wouldn't do you any good. You'd have to have brains to floss
them, wouldn't you.

Tell us again about how "turntables have groudning straps". LOL!

Well then, you should be able to produce a quote.

I've never said that at all.

It saves time to think of Lotte Lenya and Lotte Lehmann as the same
person. Heck, throw in Ute Lemper while you're at it.

You can throw in Ute anytime. Now thems some gams!

It's funny - that's who sprung to mind immediately with the Lost in
the Stars reference. Strange how that stuff works. That's almost like
saying Alabama Song and instantly thinking Marianne Faithfull, or Jim
Morrison even.

Speaking of Ute Lemper, have you heard her devastating version of Nick
Cave's "Little Water Song" off of said album? Chilling.

correction I didn't mean "said album". I meant the Punishing Kiss
album...I don't know where "said album" came from...

She has more video collections than Marianne Faithful for some reason.

No, but I'm not surprised she can manage it. I've seen bits of her "Live
at Les Bouffes du Nord" several times and I have cd compilation
somewhere.

A little off-subject, but I've enjoyed videos by the Dresden Dolls, who
describe themselves as "Brechtian."
