If you have a chance, you should check out a recording of the Benny Goodman Quartet (Gene Krupa on drums and Teddy Wilson on piano). It is incredible.

It sucks when your typo ("humorOUS") gives you the OPPOSITE of your intended meaning. Ugh. <br /><br />Second, <i>Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever</i> was mystifyingly nominated for NO Razzies. There was some tough competition, though: the Madonna vehicle <i>Swept Away</i>, <i>Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones</i>, Benigni's <i>Pinocchio</i>, and Britney's <i>Crossroads</i> all came out that year (2002).Rex Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145707733877505087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-29022820740305638342006-11-29T08:02:00.000-05:002006-11-29T08:02:00.000-05:00That's gotta be some kind of record for the longes...That's gotta be some kind of record for the longest stretch for an obscure movie name-drop.

I remember the book and how he watched the Marx Brothers and other comedy teams to help him heal himself--through laughter, since laughter elevates some sort of healing element in the body. Strange.<br /><br />I thought the puzzle theme would have something to do with double consonants like the double k in 11 D and the double n in 61 A.<br /><br />Wow! aioli! easy to make and delicious with veggies!
