Steve Martin has made some funny movies. But his best is when he had Kathleen Turner play the villain, in The Man with Two Brain. Here's what has to be one of the funniest scenes from any movie ever. Kathleen's sputter of NSFW insults is brilliant. If you've not seen this movie, run out and buy it.

Happy Birthday, Liz!
"Poor Liz. She was walking down Rodeo Drive. The cops drove by and told her to break it up!"

Remembering, the One and Only, Madame (and Wayland Flowers, too)
Wayland Flowers (November 26, 1939–October 11, 1988) was another tres gay comedian. He was on Hollywood Square in the center square vacated by the incredible Paul Lynde. Wayland and Madame also had a TV sitcom...but it was VERY tame compared to his stage show. I only got to see Wayland perform once in person...but it was an experience I've never forgotten!
Madame has her own webpage...check it out!

Mrs. Miller
So Matt and I disagree. He thinks Mrs. Miller was an intentionally campy act. I think she was clueless. What do you think?

Diva vs. Diva
Breezing Through the Doors of the Electric Shock Therapy Room...I saw them...two grand divas. Visions in rhinestones and attitude.
Query: Who won this showboat? And where was THE hat?

Ghostley & Ballard
I read a great post today on Stirred, Straight Up, with a Twist. It was about the delightfully out-there Kaye Ballard. It made me think of this from Rogers & Hammerstein's Cinderella.
TJB, this is for you!
If you've never visited Stirred, Straight Up, with a Twist, stop by and say hi. You'll love his jukebox!!!

Remembering, the One and Only, Charles Pierce
Charles Pierce was one of the funniest people ever. I was actually lucky enough to see Charles perform several times. Once at Studio One's Backlot, I sat next to Vincent Price and his wife Coral Browne. But I digress. Charles was one of the funniest women ever! His One Woman Show was sheer brilliance!
If you've never seen Charles, sit back and enjoy. You're gonna pee.
Part I, Opening Monologue
Part II, Mae West
Part III, Mommie Dearest
Part IV, Katherine Hepburn
Part V, Miss Bette Davis...."Lit!"
And look it, I got his autograph!!!

February's 12 of 12
Yesterday was the 12th. That is when we celebrate Chad Darnell's 12 of 12, where bloggers all over the world share their day with pictures. For more details and to send healing prayers, visit Chad's site.
My day started off with a romp around the garden. Glory be, there are new plants sprouting. The world is reborn!
We have many statues hidden amongst the plants. Most of the year, they are overtaken by the gorgeous flowers are yard produces. But each winter, we find our statues and it's like finding a $20 in an old pair of pants. Strange thing we've noticed...all of the noses have been chewed off our statues.
We have a beautiful red maple that canopies over our pond. Koi hate getting sunburned, you know. In the bare branches, you can see the solar lights that grace the trees. A few of the lights are missing...who would take them???
Statues of penguins dance around a Floating Cloud Japanese Maple. Odd, their noses are all gone. How can this be?
Ahhh, the answer to the noseless statues. It's Kali.
You see Kali is not only comfortable with her OCD, she celebrates it. Putting something new in the yard? It's a Kali toy. Here, she stares at the green barbell squeaky toy as if willing you to throw it. You want to throw it, don't you??? THROW IT!
FYI, we found out after we named her, that Kali is a Hindu goddess of destruction.
In front of house, our flag glows with pride. It is a new day.
Which, Hazel?
We have many exotic finches. These two diamond fire finches have the coolest call. It sounds like a racing car on steroids.
Hunter wanted a weigh-in...but just could quite fit on the scale.
So...have you ever really looked at what the Starbucks mermaid is actually doing?
Is it me or is shy holding her fins out spread eagle above her head? You'd think their stock would do better if everyone knew this was a service they offered.
Driving home after work...here's the Smith Tower. At one time it was the tallest building west of the Mississippi. It still is big. It's the Mississippi that's gotten smaller. Perhaps Kali had something to do with it.
The always glamorous Sorento Hotel. (Yes, those are palm trees!)
If you've never joined in the 12 of 12, there's always next month.
Share your day with us.

Sexual Harassment...KNOW THE SIGNS!
After a long, tedious 15-hour shift, we had an improtu meeting about sexual harassment. It's a good thing, too. I didn't know all the signs.
Spread the word.

What's Gayer than GAY?
Two of my favorite blogs (Fabulon and Night Is Half Gone) posted this today.
An erotic (or is that eratic) dancer and tennis player...that's some racket.
I wondered...Could there possibly be anyone gayer than Brian???
Yes. Mike.
