I've been taking creatine monohydrate daily for months now for my memory and bro believes it's why I'm not having muscle stiffness and soreness the day after strenuous activity.
High in Calories and Fat: With 12% of your daily value of total fat and 18% of saturated fat, Muscle Milk might not be suitable for those on a strict calorie-controlled diet.
Artificial Ingredients: Most varieties of Muscle Milk contain artificial flavors and sweeteners, which can harm gut bacteria and increase the risk of certain diseases.
Potential for Heavy Metals: While within safe limits, regular consumption of Muscle Milk may not be ideal due to the presence of trace amounts of heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, and lead.
Joy Harmon, who needed only three minutes, a bucket of soapy water and a housedress held together with a safety pin to sear herself into Hollywood history as a chain-gang prisoner’s fantasy come to life in the classic 1967 film “Cool Hand Luke,” died on April 14 in Los Angeles. She was 87.
She died in hospice care after contracting pneumonia in recent weeks, her daughter Julie Gourson Matthews said.
Ms. Harmon never achieved leading-lady status. Still, she tallied more than 30 screen and television credits, often popping up in an episode or two of popular 1960s and early ’70s TV shows like “The Beverly Hillbillies,” “The Monkees,” “Batman,” “Bewitched” and “The Odd Couple.”...
Patricia Joy Harmon was born on May 1, 1938, in Flushing, Queens, the elder of two daughters of Homer Harmon, a promotional director at the Roxy Theater in Manhattan, and Bernice (Hopmann) Harmon. (Many accounts cite her birth year as 1940, but she shaved two years off her age once she was in Hollywood, her daughter said.)
She grew up in Wilton, Conn., and began modeling at an early age. At 17, she was a runner-up in the Miss Connecticut beauty pageant.
After graduating in 1956 from Staples High School in Westport, she acted in local theater productions before making her Broadway debut two years later in “Make a Million,” a sendup of TV quiz shows. That led to an appearance on a real quiz show, Groucho Marx’s “You Bet Your Life,” which in turn led to a regular role as Mr. Marx’s on-air assistant on the show’s spinoff, “Tell It to Groucho.”...
In 1968, she married Jeff Gourson, a film editor and producer, and soon abandoned acting to focus on raising a family. In 2003, she founded Aunt Joy’s Cakes, a wholesale family bakery in Burbank, Calif., that continues to supply studios with pastries and desserts.
In addition to her daughter Julie, Ms. Harmon is survived by a son, Jason Gourson; another daughter, Jamie Terrell; and nine grandchildren. Her marriage to Mr. Gourson ended in divorce in 2001...
Despite the soft-core overtones of her performance in "Cool Hand Luke", Ms. Harmon maintained that she had no idea it would come across as so sexualized. “I was just washing a car to my best ability and having fun with it, with the sponge and everything,” she told Entertainment Weekly.
...the only directive was that she show up for the audition in a bikini, Ms. Harmon recalled in an interview last year with the podcast “Vanguard of Hollywood.”
When she arrived, she was wearing “a coat over a bikini,” she recalled, “and Paul Newman and the director and the producer were there.” She had no lines to read, she added, “so I just talked to them, and then I got the part.”
whadda ya mean remember housedresses? I live in em.
I have this thing about clothing (I hates it, but I can't be a nudist on account I don't like anyone to see me in the nudd) so when I am home I am either in my flannel, or a sun dress, depending on the weather. Pockets are not optional.
Telling friends in Britain why my face is all scarred up
"Yeah, well, I was with a friend and we got roofied. I fell down a four storey escalator. If you look you can see the individual scars. You've seen my face is fucked up."
"Wait ... you got fucking roofied?"
"Yeah, I was with someone and they didn't know whose drink was whose so they roofied both of us. I fell down a fucking escalator, fucked my face, nearly lost my leg, it was shit. Still going though."
"It's also worth noting that, in terms of percentages, more cast members from Ancient Aliens have died this year than government UFO scientists, and no one is claiming a plot against the ancient astronaut theory."
"Mick West explained in detail this week why the deaths and disappearances are statistically within the expected range for normal events, even including murder, and do not form a concerning pattern."
Scurries off to update calendar - August 8 it is.
A little respect for our French culture would have been nice. Your bad French wasn't cute, it's insulting.
Montreal in June, eh? Hmm. The Habs might be in the finals then, and having a Wonketeer who speaks French could come in handy…
Hotel booked, can't wait - I last saw DR as an infant in Boston!
Tres bien! Je vais aller!
?Lucky Montreal. When will you come to Texas to see us, y'all?
Zut Alors!

And there was much rejoicing
Should have compromised and worn housedresses.
damn skippy!
*cuddles* all cotton tho. Gots to be cotton. I suppose silk would be good too, nice and cool and soft, but I ain't got that kind of money.

You should totally try Muscle Milk, Bro!
High in Calories and Fat: With 12% of your daily value of total fat and 18% of saturated fat, Muscle Milk might not be suitable for those on a strict calorie-controlled diet.
Artificial Ingredients: Most varieties of Muscle Milk contain artificial flavors and sweeteners, which can harm gut bacteria and increase the risk of certain diseases.

Thanks but I'll pass

Aye, she had no idea what she was doing.
...the only directive was that she show up for the audition in a bikini, Ms. Harmon recalled in an interview last year with the podcast “Vanguard of Hollywood.”

Joy was also in an episode of the Monkees. HEY HEY!

Love me my house dresses
Clothing sucks, but so does the screaming of the innocent passersby

Fukui, was this ... recent?
Not very, I think a couple of years?
I think I've seen this movie ... except this isn't fiction.
