Rat Pack Show

[JohnT]

Last Friday, my two brothers and I all took our wives to the Buck's County playhouse production of Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Show.

The idea behind this show was to re-create the great Las Vegas rat pack shows of the 1960's. The show was produced by Sandy Hackett (son of the famous comedian Buddy Hackett) to be as close to the real thing as possible. Impersonators of Joey Bishop (played by Sandy Hackett), Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and Frank Sinatra all performed.

This show was so great! I do not think I have laughed that hard in years. The funniest part of the show was watching Sandy Hackett just destroy hecklers during his set!

If any of you have a chance to see this show (they are touring), I highly recommend it!!! Check out the link below..

Here it is Monday (thank goodness) and once again the weekend was just a blur. To bring the weekend more into focus, I decided list what I did over the weekend.

JohnT talking tomorrow:

- Monday:
Worked all day, then watched the Giants lose to the Eagles on MNF. At least the wine was good!

Here it is Monday (thank goodness) and once again the weekend was just a blur. To bring the weekend more into focus, I decided list what I did over the weekend. Perhaps you folks would like to do the same?


- Friday:
went to the theater on Friday night. Got home around 1am.

- Saturday:
cleaned the house,
went grocery shopping,
did some banking,
Visited some factory outlets (I needed some new clothes)
Went to dinner at the older brothers house (my godson's birthday)
got home around 10pm. collapsed and went to sleep

- Sunday:
Was an "almost thanksgiving" dinner. A bit of a tradition where you realize that you still have a turkey in the freezer from last thanksgiving, and decide to cook it up. I had ran the turkey down to my mother's house (she was nice enough to cook it for the whole family).

We always had a professional wood shop in the barn at my mother's house (now my brother's house). I had bought a new barrel and making a new barrel stand while waiting for dinner.

Ended up getting home at about 5:30pm. Watched the premier episode of Gold Rush (I had missed it on Friday) before finally turning in.

oops! I meant to start another thread with this...

I'm hoping you won't be able to say that tomorrow morning. I even wore my lucky Eagles sweat shirt that my son gave me about 10 years ago. I look like a Bill Belichick impersonator if he'd ever coach the Eagles, just better looking.

Yes. I do acknowledge that my post tomorrow on "What's for dinner" may include Corvus americanus.

Well NY Rangers pulled it out

 

[sour_grapes]

Iggles up 17-7 at the half in a very sloppy game. I'm going to head out to a local tap and watch the 2nd half.

Giants don't want the ball. Every time they get it, they turn it over. They are absolutely sucking!

Aside from the opening drive, the one good thing about tonight's game.

 

[sour_grapes]

Well, it wasn't 27-0 this year, but not bad. I cannot believe all of the turnovers, on both sides. And penalties!

At least I am not eating Corvus americanus tonight. Perhaps someone up North Jersey way might be choking down some Haliaeetus leucocephalus if it weren't illegal (or ill-eagle).

There was a lot of suckage, from both teams. Seemed like WAAAAY more than 7 turnovers. Glad the Iggles D came through.
