True story here. Last year I was studying music theory, really basic stuff like staffs and clefs and Every Good Boy Does Fine (which I confuse with All Boys Taste Good or something like that).

One day, my teacher (who's a friend) and I were reviewing some stuff.

She asked me what the additional lines used to extend notes beyond the staff were called. I correctly answered, “Leger lines,” and she said, “Keith,” and I said, “Huh?”, and she said, “Keith!” and I said, “What?” and she said “KEITH!” and I said, “I’m sorry, but I don't understand,” and she said, “KEITH LEDGER!” and I said, “Oh! I get it!”

And I laughed and laughed. . . at her, not with her. This, from the woman with whom I saw “Brokeback Mountain” AND “Casanova.” Bless her heart.

As Chanterais said in the Malaysian Subtitles thread, "Ah, the sweet, simple joy of laughing at people."

(All Boys Taste Good

)

Oh, Malaysian Subtitles. That was one of my favorite threads of all time. I was about to go to bed, but now I have to go read that thread right now.

This just occurred to me. The friend I told about is in SAG. She was complaining to me that one of her fellow SAG members was chosen to be on the award nominating committee and how that friend slept through the movies (when she went at all). My friend thought she should be on that committee since she took it all so seriously and went to see every screening she possibly could.

It was probably just as well for Heath. With her on the committee, he wouldn't have been nominated for anything. But Keith Ledger might've sweep the awards!

Boy, you brought back a memory that I haven't thought of for years and years.

My grandmother taught piano. And she tried to teach me piano, for a very long time, until she gave up and realized it was hopeless. She was always amazed that I learned to type.

Anyway, she said it as Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge and I always said, "Why is it only the boys who get the fudge?" LOL

Thanks for helping me remember, Kelly...

Kelly

I just added to the number of people Googling for Keith Ledger, just to see what comes up.

I feel sorry for anyone who might actually be named Keith Ledger, because he will not have the satisfaction of finding himself linked to online! I looked at the first 21 pages, then skipped to page 30, then to page 39 of the listings, where I finally found a mathematics textbook authored by one Keith Pledger. All the rest of the links were to Heath, or sometimes to Keith Urban or Toby Keith. One was to an article in a paper called The Ledger about a couple with a gay son who was attacked. To all the Keith Ledgers out there, I feel your pain.

I learned it as "Every Good Boy Deserves Favor."

I learned Every Good Boy Does Fine also.

And it took me a while to find it, but here's the Malaysian Subtitles thread, for anyone who's interested. http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,478.0.html

I think it's a reference to a thread a while back that had nothing to do with this. It was about how one prefers having one's french fries meet the ketchup, squirting or dipping. Some people had a lot to say on the subject.

Yes, that was what I was remembering. Sorry for not being clearer, Kelly. It's the type of thread that I think you could spice up with a little bit of your own special brand of humor. LOL....

Did you know that 'Keith Fletcher' was the name he was signed in under when he stayed with the rest of the crew in the Red Coat Inn Motel in Fort Macleod?
I read that on findingbrokeback.

This may be totally out of line, but please bear with me if so. It's been a strange, long week....

Now Katherine (Ineedcrayons) has as her sig line: "....if the coffee pot is true, so is the other."

While reading the latest discussion here about that disgusting 2006 video trying to make Heath incriminate himself, and about all the speculation in the media concerning possible use of hard drugs, etc.... I happened to read the sig line and my brain was evidently still very coloured by the drugs discussion: I honestly did a double-take, eyes wide, when for one split second I read the sig as

"....if the pot is true, so is the other."

I had to re-read to realize the missing word was actually there.

When I went to school (waaaaay back in the 1820s!!!), we were taught Every Good Boy Deserves FRUIT - probably referring to the boys who inhabited the music room with me in those days!!!

Thanks for the invitation, but I'm going to have to take a pass. I can't hardly keep up with the threads I've started or posted in. It's taken me a week to get back to this one! I'm a dipper though.

Why does that make me think of "Hee Haw," where Buck Owens was a pickin' and Roy Clark was a grinnin'? I'm a dippin'! And I'm a squirtin'!

I'm tickled that this thread got such a positive reaction. You're welcome for my original post, and thank you for continuing the fun, caring and sharing and such. To quote another Steel Magnolia, "Things were gettin' entirely too serious for a moment. We needed to laugh."

We found, in our ultra-scientific survey, the vast majority of folks around here were dippers....

just so you know.
