I love the show. Unfortunately, I don’t quite have the high notes to sing Abigail Adams’ part ... but I can bellow out all the men’s chorus roles.
We did “America the Beautiful” for our entrance song today. Our congregation is Spanish-speaking, but many are bilingual and joined in.
“In the Garden” is my father’s favorite. I think he’s probably about your age ... born in 1936.
Gosh, those things remind me of Pat, James, and Vlad! And the gerbil.
Were I able to do animation, you’d see a large rabbit with very expressive ears doing the unhelpful suggestions while some unseen threat slowly lurks closer.
I’m an Alto; think ‘sultry’ like Anita Baker. I was a Soprano when younger, but the Army lowered my voice a few octaves. I’m only 5 foot tall; I had to project loudly and often to make sure those in the back of the Platoon could hear me! Man, how I wish I had that lung capacity these days, LOL!
Now, if I could only find a way to use my ‘Secret Super Power’ for Good and not for Evil...
Enjoy your film. I’m going to watch a few more snippets on YouTube...

I can’t stand Blythe Danner in any role.
And who has been so rash as to give rabbits sentience? For what purpose?
That too is part of your story.
Whatever, I am gone for the night. Still light out but it's raining, and I am SO ready to turn in...
I would, but Darks said sentience in his story-seed.
I do not know the sequence, but it is possible one needs to go through sentience to achieve sapience. It is alleged to have occurred to us 100,000 years ago.
My only experience is in the creation of an intelligent, self-aware computer entity, (in the form of an android). That entity had intelligence before it had self-awareness, if it ever achieved self-awareness.
Good morning. I think Pat has both sentience and sapience.
We had good fireworks on our street. My family put ours together with the people across from us and lit them in the street, but Randy next door had a launcher and a mortgage-payment’s worth of illegal (in NC) airbursts, or whatever they’re called. It was like being at the air base!
He wasn’t the only one, either ... just the closest.
Everyone has to start somewhere.
Oracular utterance.
I could have said
sententious
verbose
prolix
but I didn’t....
Beautiful. After several ordinary hymns, we ended with America the Beautiful yesterday. However, the Pastor’s homily was on how we’d all won the lottery just because we live here and how great life is here compared to the rest of the world.
I tried to contain myself because I fully expected him to launch into the next part which would be, **and so we need to welcome all immigrants and those who are seeking sanctuary because Jesus, Mary and Joseph were immigrants to Egypt during our Lord’s first year of life.**
BUT, he didn’t say that, and so it turned out to be a great homily after all. I’d be OK with all those thoughts I’m attributing to him that he never said, except he never differentiates between legal and illegal immigrants. Legal makes all the difference to me — especially when you see what they’re hauling across the border.
“Prolix” is a great word.
I have to get laundry out of the dryer.
“And who has been so rash as to give rabbits sentience?”
A very sick individual who had thought to genetically modify ‘docile’ creatures for use as help off world.
“For what purpose?”
He got a kick out of it, actually.
Literally when it came ot the first few generations.
Imagine huge brutish Cave Rabbits with rudimentary communication skills and basic manual dexterity.
(This is also where the Rabbitoid religion originates. No, you don’t really want to know.)
I get it. Edward Scissorhands' Papa.
“Edward Scissorhands’ Papa.”
Only this guy took a flight or three from the mighty foot of Pitherabbitus Bruticus.
He lived, of course, continued his research and madman gene splicing.
To eventually end up with the rabbitoids.
In the process he accidentally set in motion rabbitoid society as a whole through vague passed down memories from one generation to the next.
At least until the Planetary Council decided his work was of interest to them.
Owemeone Cannoli: “ These are not the rabbitoids you are looking for.... go about your business “
*falling over*
You funny, Dude!
Did you have a good holiday?
