"The one advantage though of having to deal with such primitive little shits is that they don't ask stupid questions about the Algonquin." (Image by Bain News Service.)
From the always interesting Letters of Note comes this missive that Dorothy Parker wrote in the early 1960s when she was teaching at CalTech. The students were apparently not the best and the brightest, at least in Parker’s estimation. An excerpt:
“I am horrified to think what a pig I have been about writing, but it honestly is no reflection of lack of thought or love. I have been busy teaching a class at Cal Tech. The term just ended and I am celebrating my manumission by writing to you. The students there are a grievous lot, hopeless, unattractive, and not even young. I threw my hands up the second week when one of the brighter lights defended Peyton Place as a work of substance and value. The one advantage though of having to deal with such primitive little shits is that they don’t ask stupid questions about the Algonquin. They have apparently never heard of the hotel or me.”

Bobby Van was born as Robert Jack Stein in the Bronx, New York.
I briefly got my paws on a copy of a 1971 Playbill for the Broadway musical, No, No, Nanette, which was originally produced in 1925. I’m not a world-class musicals expert, so my very limited knowledge of the show is that it may (or may not) have been the production that theater producer/Red Sox owner Harry Frazee financed by selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees. (Recent evidence suggests that it was an earlier non-musical version of the show that was indeed responsible for the Curse of the Bambino.)
The musical comedy, set in Atlantic City, was created by Irving Caesar, Otto Harbach and Vincent Youmans. It may be best known today for introducing the song “Tea for Two.” The 1971 staging featured the talents of Ruby Keeler, Jack Gilford and Bobby Van. Van was apparently known to most Americans as an amicable guy who hosted and guested on game shows, but theater was his passion. He sadly died in 1980 at age 51 from brain cancer. Here’s an excerpt about him from the Playbill:
“Bobby Van says he ‘never took a dance lesson in my life.’ Both his father and his mother were performers who worked regularly in vaudeville; so young Bobby learned all facets of the performing arts at an early age–so early, in fact, that he was doing a comedy act at 16. To comedy he added singing and dancing which later became his forte. An offer from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer lured him to the film capital where he appeared in such films as Kiss Me Kate, Small Town Girl, Because Your Mine and The Affairs of Dobie Gillis in which he played the title character. He is no stranger to TV, appearing as a guest on all the major musical variety shows. He will soon be seen in the Universal film The Last Flight, in which he co-stars with Lloyd Bridges. Mr. Van is married to the very attractive actress Elaine Joyce, regularly seen on the Don Knotts weekly NBC-TV series. Mr. Van received a nomination for a Tony Award for his role in No, No, Nanette. Bobby’s ambition is stay on the Broadway stage forever.”

Bed of nails, India, 1907. (Image by Herbert Ponting.)
Bed of Nails Coffee Table – $200 (Mount Vernon)
Yes, you heard right. It’s a large 4′ X 4′ table, that is also a bed of nails. The glass rests above the nails and is supported by pylons. Not intended for laying on!!!!
The table can either be used as a coffee table or as a large table to sit around depending on the length of the legs. Most recently I used it for a kitchen table. So to use it as a coffee table, you could shorten the legs.
This is a really odd table that was my first (and only) attempt at building something artistic. However, now that my wife is pregnant, this table is too dangerous to keep at home with a baby running around. So I’d love to give it to somebody who will appreciate it.

Thought you’d enjoy seeing where we went camping last week. We rented a trailer and spent two nights here. Had a marvelous time! The area is so beautiful–we also visited a couple of mining ghost towns. Very interesting. Drove home through Sun Valley. It was a relaxing two-day vacation and we sure hated to come home. Hope this finds you both well!
Much love,

I would rather not compromise my dignity, besides, I would be helping to save someone’s life.
specimen for taxidermy
i am an amateur taxidermist in need of more practice, but as i live in the city, the discovery of fallen/deceased wildlife happens rarely, stunting my growth in the craft.
so i am writing this post to request assistance. if you happen to find a freshly deceased specimen (if it smells, it’s too late) along your daily routine, please reply to my post with directions to the find.
i am particularly interested in birds & small mammals (with exception to sewer rats & pigeons, unfortunately the majority of nyc “wildlife”).
thank you.
