    Ah, but many of those would believe in the outrageous ones as well...
    What did Mr. Barnum way?
    Say...? the sucker born every minute....?

    Mr. Barnum wayed jusst undr 200 ponds.
    Yeah, say.

    movie, for example. I can't tell the difference
    between Kevin Bacon and Kevin Spacey; luckily I can
    tell the difference, vaguely, between Kevin Spacey
    and Sissy Spacek. I have seen only one movie in its
    entirety that has starred any of those three, and I
    am not sure which Kevin was in it. The movie was
    Animal House.
    There was a period of time when we were taking in a lot of Saturday matinees... haven't done that for a while now, though...

    They were a buck less, weren't they. With my
    eyesight in its current state, I might not be able
    to tell Kevin Spacey from Sissy Spacek by sight
    alone.

    There are a lot of things I want, even if they
    aren't quite real. Turkey Hill fat-free
    sugar-free isn't one of them.
    And you are also more discriminating than MJ was... :)

    And less desperate, perhaps.

    A bit of a mind-boggle... but I'm sure you did a creditable (although
    not credited) job... :) Apparently it was all in more of an upper cello range....?
    Yeah, though now they can change octaves
    in the studio no problem.
    I suppose that makes sense... probably just a matter of pushing a
    button....

    An octave jump just doubling the frequency,
    no problem. It might have been that the other
    frequencies that make up the timbre would be
    messed up, but it turns out that by and large,
    doubling them does no harm. If there's attack
    or articulation, a good ear might be able to
    tell a difference, but I'd guess most wouldn't.

    Not a complete loss, then.... :)
    Dessert, some kind of traditional Italian
    compote, wasn't bad.
    Enough to make up for the rest....? :)
    Har, what do you think?
    I'd guess not really... ;)

    Got it in one.

    ... Don't hate yourself in the morning, sleep till noon.

    Been there, done that, almost.

    I'm thinking they may have been half price, even.... There was also (it
    still exists) a movie house that regularly would show two films for the
    price of one, and made an effort to have them have something in common
    with each other.... I'm sure they charge more than they used to,
    though... We kinda got out of the practice of going out to the movies...

    There are a lot of things I want, even if they

    Probably. :)

    And unless it had a lot of solo passages, even less likely that it would
    jump out for very many people....

    Figured. :)

    We've done that.... Richard more than I, even.... of course being up
    late makes it more likely.... ;)
