I did not say that he was a friend of the left.  Far from it.  Sorry about
the misspelling of intelligentsia, also.

Brilliant!  Simply Brilliant.  Are you a member of the culturally elite

Gritty Kitty ain't so pretty.
But it's really thick.
It fills my catbox oh so snug,
it always does the trick.
I love to spread it on my toes,
and squish and squish and squish.
It ne'er offends my tender nose,
Like a smelly fish.
It's texture is a joy to me,
it's just as smooth as silk.
<Forgot this line, sorry this is off the top of my head>
It stays crunchy, even in milk.
I may not be the president, I may not be the pope.
But as long as I have Gritty Kitty,
I shall never Mope.

There ya go, I'll get back to you with the missing line.

Does anyone know what the flys were saying in the "Toothache" episode?  I
reran the video tape several times but I can not make out what they were
saying as they grazed on Stimpy's Gritty Kitty.

This is going to be a trivia question someday, like the one about the
episode where the animators forgot to fill in one of Ren's ears...

Well, John K. is DEFINITELY on the right track. Ren's Toothache/Big House
Blues blows the season premier away!
 
Perhaps half the reason why I liked this episode better was because of
BHB. I've never seen it before (except the excerpts in the opening scene).
The hype surrounding it is well-deserved, and it was a pleasant surprise
to see it. 
 
As for Ren's Toothache, it has what I think we all like most about R&S:
Bodily humor. The fact that they've made fun of just about every bit of
folklore surrounding teeth helped also. 
 
I just hope the next 18-or-so episodes are more like this one than the
Army/PTM combo last week.

It's been a few months since i saw BigHouseBlues last, or for that matter
the secret oath intro, so maybe my memory is all shot.  But when I saw the
intro, my first thought was 'Oh no, here goes a rerun' but then my biological 
memory processor (BMP) stopped me and asked - have the walls in the 
secret club house ALWAYS been wood?  I thought this section took place in 
a cave before...

I don't have an episode handy before.  I do know my BMP recognized the words
as all being the same.  And even Stimpy's TV helmet (what IS it with him
and all his helmet inventions - we have seen at least 4 helmets so far:

cheese-o-phone
TV helmet
bear claw helmet
space helmet (yea, I know these last two have names - I forget them right now).

I have the 15th on a Melodya CD with the Leningrad Philharmonic (or did until 
I lent it to someone who didn't return it).  I have it on tape as well.  It's 
a different interpretation than you usually hear but I think it's pretty good.
In my opinion, however, it appears to me that what DS liked regardng tempi
and style is not what I like.  I doubt he would have liked this CD.

On the subject of Russian conductors, I personally think they are the 
best interpreters of Shostakovich.  But their recordings are hard to get
sometimes.  I got lucky once when I went to Tower's classical annex in
Hollywood and found a bunch of Melodya LPs.  Got a rather good LP
of the Seventh.  ONly in mono though.

there *is* a 14th with rostropovich.  i was going to check the details
on my lp last night but forgot.  (i have no idea if its been re-
released on cd.)  it was released through the columbia/melodiya
licensing deal in the us.  i think the orchestra is the NPO.  i have
the haitink as well, but i believe that i recall the rostropovich
being more passionate.  i'm sure i remember preferring it, but it's
been a while...  i definitely preferring the soprano and possibly the
bass as well on the rostropovich.  i'll listen to both soon and report

Dmitri is lucky he met and liked Neeme Jarvi, even if it was late
