So I finally watched Attack! (1956) and because I’m me, I’m down bad for a couple of these mid 50’s war movie actors and their characters. As of rn, I’m adding them to my characters that I write for.
So let me just tell u whats going on in my legacy rn
Jeb was bregnante, again. Jeb was very bregnante. Now, this man has always been an absolute unit when bregnante, so I didn't think much of it. He even had an ultrasound with littlemssam mod and it was just one baby, a girl. The household was at seven sims. Nothing could go wrong. everything good right?
Then grandma libby died after being exposed to pumpkin puree whilst feeding baby Bee. Or something like that probably. It was traumatic. Bee forgot that she ever liked the pumpkin puree. It was a dead food to her now, just like grandma.
So then it was baby time. Yes, one of these sims is trans, no it's not the one that has the baby face. For once amirite. But anyway, low and fucking behold.
TWO OLD ASS BABIES POPPED OUT. Delaney and Samuel. Now we're up to five kids in gen three. One just turned into a toddler. Pray for them. And yes I took all these crusty pics with my phone idc
Prince Harry “showed off his sense of humour in a video filmed at his Montecito home for the 17th Annual Stand Up for Heroes on Monday.” It’s his 2nd appearance at the Bob Woodruff Foundation event hosted as a tribute to wounded, ill & injured veterans & their loved ones.
"Obviously I was deeply honored when Bob asked me to debut my stand-up act with you all tonight…Due to the shockingly low representation of gingers last year, & out of respect for my fellow endangered species, here I am, reporting for duty."

He very rarely leaves his post at the Fenland’s camp, and most cats who get injured out in the marsh are oftentimes left for dead right off the bat due to high risk of immediate oftentimes fatal infection, predators catching the scent of blood, or the swamps being outright too dangerous to navigate to get to their side fast enough.

My original plan was for my zine to be a spiritual successor to Weekly World News, a parody tabloid that exclusively ran those nonsense stories you'd see in X-Files and Men in Black, "Local Woman in Menage-a-Trois With Bigfoot," "Aliens Stole my Carburetor," "Elvis Lives, Makes a Living Impersonating Himself in Vegas," that sort of thing, straight up comedy, but as the project evolved I decided I wanted it to be more than just sensationalist headlines. I want it to invoke the feeling I got from reading magazines in the early 2000s, before the medium evaporated. I grew up on Nick Mag and Mad Kids, my sisters had celebrity gossip teen zines, so I want my zine to appeal to young millennials and old zoomers who grew up right at the same time as we did, right when our magazines of choice all closed up shop, 2005 to 2012ish, around that time. I don't want it to be a zine for kids, I want it to feel as though those old magazines grew up with their audiences; what if Nick Mag were still around today but aimed at 20-somethings?
I want my zine to be somewhere between the puerile Mad Kids and the monotonous Mad (Mad is like SNL, I'm sure it used to be good and clever, but now it's a hollow facsimile of itself trying desperately to stay relevant while coasting off it's former glory; it used to be a cultural tentpole everybody knew and consumed, but now it's a sideshow you only hear about when people complain because it's stale and obvious. It expects applause when it reaches for the low hanging fruit). My point is, I want the content of my zine to be comedic without being childish, and I want it to have a backbone of sincerity without being boring. Because that's my biggest problem, magazines for adults are boring! Runner's World? Men's Health? Guns and Motorcycles? Homes and Gardens? Nat Geo Traveler: 100 Beautiful Vacation Spots You'll Never Afford to Visit? Who reads that stuff? And then there are all those Nerd™ mags, those glossy $15 ads for marvel and dc and harry potter, [Movie That Just Came Out] Magazine or [Topical K-Pop Band] Magazine, ephemeral cash grabs, corporate masturbation, "look at all our IPs! Look at all the keys we can jingle in front of your face!" I want mine to have substance, I don't want it to feel like the stuff RedLetterMedia's Nerd Crew made fun of ("Very cool," "Very cool," "YOU KEEP HITTING THOSE HOMERUNS, DISNEY!")
This is all pretty nebulous right now, nothing but buzzwords, a bunch of feelings I want to evoke but no concrete steps on how I'm going to evoke them. I need to come up with specific articles and columns to fill the pages.
One section will be dedicated to the crazy headlines I originally envisioned, "Benedict XVI Unretires, Sparks Holy Civil War Against Francis," "Scientist Proves Earth Neither Globe Nor Flat, Secret Third Thing," "GOP Senator Reveals Himself as Antichrist, Party Leaders Say They'll Still Vote for Him Over Dems"
One section will have short stories and art, like those old sci-fi/fantasy pulp mags
News and opinion pieces and predictions without the right-wing bias that comes from being owned and operated by trillion dollar monopolies
I want there to be a sports page that talks about sports and teams that don't exist. I don't follow sport news, so it's all incomprehensible to me, and this section would recreate that confusion by talking about made up shit with the same enthusiasm and intensity as real sportswriters, "the Austin Bagpipers traded star quartermaster Jequon Woodruff to the Fargo Twineballs in a major blow to manager Ted Sunderson's ego. He may take it out by firing his fourth coach this mini-season. We'll have to wait and see how the Bagpipers fare against the Albuquerque Weirdos in the April Audacity bracket next year."

A lot of my creative projects fail to get off the ground because they're too ambitious, I try to do too much too quickly, I get overwhelmed by the scale of things and give up, so these are more guidelines than a complete content description. My zine will have whatever I want it to have in the moment, and if I get feedback from readers then I'll focus on what's the most popular. More of this, less of that, bring back this one-off column, stop this recurring piece altogether, que sera sera.
I don't want to get ahead of myself, so the rest of 2022 is for me to figure out what exactly issue 1 is gonna include.
Love ‘Em and Leave ‘Em is a play in three acts by George Abbott and John V.A. Weaver. It was originally produced by Jed Harris and staged by Mr. Abbott. It featured Florence Johns as Mamie and Katherine Wilson as Janie.
The idea for the play as the title of a poem by Weaver published in "Vanity Fair." An earlier version of the play was written and produced by Weaver alone, but was not successful.
The play takes place at Ma Woodruff's Boarding House, Ginsberg’s Department Store, and Mechanic's Hall.
The play tells the tale of Mamie and Janie Walsh, two sisters with the older one pledged to look after the younger one. Mamie, the older one, is the sweet, old-fashioned type, and Janie, the younger, is a jazz-age flapper who takes whatever comes her way. Mamie goes on vacation and returns home to find that Janie has vamped her way into the arms of Mamie's intended.
JANIE: “Oh, Mame, don't be so dumb! He just happened to ask me, ‘cause I'm a better dancer than you are you know that... Now I ain't sayin' a word against you, Mame, but you know everybody says I'm the best lookin' girl in the store.”
MAME: “All my life I never owned anything ‘cause if you wanted it, you took it. You was pretty and I was plain; you was the pet. Everybody loved you and was nice to you. Nobody more'n me, Janie Walsh, nobody more'n me. Well, I guess you're just what they call spoiled, that's all spoiled and spoiled bad. You never stop to worry about anybody else's rights. If a person has anything around they want to keep, they better lock it up where you can t get your hands on it.”
“While I was studying my present role in ‘Love 'Em and Leave 'Em,' I went to a department store dally to pick up the atmosphere of such places.” ~ FLORENCE JOHNS
The play had its world premiere at the Playhouse in Wilmington Delaware on January 22, 1926.
Billed as "A Bargain Sale of Laugher” and “A Department Store Comedy of Life and Love”, the play opened in Atlantic City at the Globe Theatre on January 25, 1926.
During the run of the play, the Boardwalk night spot The Silver Slipper invited the cast to be guests of honor.
Billed as ‘A Comedy in American’ Love ‘Em and Leave ‘Em opened on Broadway at the Sam H. Harris Theatre (226 West 42nd Street) on February 3, 1926.
About Venue #1: The Sam H. Harris Theatre was built in 1914 as the Candler. It was leased to George M. Cohan and Sam H. Harris until 1920, when Cohan and Harris ended their partnership and Harris kept the theatre, renaming it for himself. In 1926, Harris sold it to the Shuberts, who lost it in a 1933 bankruptcy claim. It became a movie house from 1933 to 1978 and was demolished in 1996. In 2000, it became part of Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum.
“’Love ’Em and Leave ’Em' has less than the makings of a hit but it has many other things its authors can be proud of.” ~ ARTHUR POLLACK
“Here is another of those snappy character comedies of the common people that always seem a little patronizing and considerably dependent upon the humor and good nature of the crowd that sees them. They often go a lot better with first nighters than they do with their own people who follow after.” ~ BURNS MANTLE
"I have a sneaking suspicion that ‘Love 'Em and Leave ’Em' to be so good because you could scratch the surface of Mr. Abbott or Mr. Weaver and find underneath only a clerk at good old Ginsberg’s.” ~ ALEXANDER WOOLCOT
~ February 16, 1926.
Abbott continued to collaborate with other writers for the rest of his career. If indeed he had an inferiority complex, it didn’t stop him from becoming a Broadway icon.
In March 1926 the playscript was partly reprinted in newspapers nationwide.
In April 1926, plans were announced for two companies of the play: one to do a sit-down production in Chicago (the Mamie Company?) and the other to tour the country (the Janie Company?). Producer Harris would conduct a talent search for amateur actresses to understudy the leads in Chicago. At the same time, news that the play was bought for Hollywood by Paramount hit the papers.
Also in April 1926, in order to boost subscriptions, the Brooklyn Times Union offered free passes for subscribers. The winning subscriber would find their names among the classified ads, encouraging readership of the ads.
On Monday, May 17, 1926, the play moved digs to the Apollo Theatre (not the one in Atlantic City and not the one in Harlem).
About Venue #2: This Apollo was located on 42nd Street and was formerly known as the Bryant Theatre when it opened in 1910. It was later known as the New Apollo. Today, architectural elements from the building have been incorporated into the Ford Center.
Two weeks later the show moved addresses yet again. This time it moved right next door to the Times Square Theatre on 42nd Street.
About Venue #3: The Times Square Theatre opened in 1920. After the market crash in 1929, the theatre was taken by the bank. In 1933 it became a movie theatre. It closed in 1997 and fell into the hands of Livent. Their plans for the theatre were halted when they went bankrupt, leaving the future of the venue uncertain.
One critic reckoned that Love ‘Em and Leave ‘Em might rival Abie’s Irish Rose in popularity. At the time, Abie’s was four years into its 2,327 performance run on Broadway. Love ‘Em clocked in at just 152 performances finally shutting up shop on July 3, 1926.
While the Broadway production continued (but in its final days), a stock a production opened in San Francisco. A tour launched in Binghmaton NY.
A silent film adaptation was released later in 1926 starring Louise Brooks as Janie and Evelyn Brent as Mame. In the film, the fictional Ginsberg’s Department Store was replaced by Macy’s.
The film premiered in Atlantic City at the Earle Theatre on Christmas Day 1926.
Yeah, it's been a while ... but the blog cupboard has been pretty bare. Until this morning!
Banned Book Week is coming (starts Saturday). Let the world know you read banned books and/or support libraries who make books available to all readers with a little swag.
If you love a little yin and yang in your reads, then you'll LOVE Sarah Woodruff's collection of books with "things that shouldn't go together."
If you're looking for a go-to source for a reader who has her pulse on what readers like (even if she doesn't), subscribe to Ms. Yingling Reads. Exhibit 1: https://msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2023/09/fantasy-tuesday.html
Let the debates begin: are these books on your "best ever" list for middle-grade speculative fiction?

Local School Board and City Council Seats Up for Election
By: Tracy Sanders, Vareva Harris & Jeremy [email protected]@[email protected]
With the influx of new residents in Woodruff, the culture of the small town is bound to change. However, the direction and pace of that change will be largely determined by the elected officials who sit on the school board and city council. As such, community members…
The Georgia Bulldogs football team has served as the University of Georgia’s varsity football program since 1902. Over more than 100 seasons the team has competed in two national college athletic conferences, winning a combined 13 championships. The program has established an impressive record of 840 wins to 405 losses and 50 ties, culminating in 34 Bowl game victories. The team has also won 58 percent of its bowl games.
Billy Reynolds coached the very first Georgia Bulldogs team in 1902. The university fielded the team as an independent program unaffiliated with any college conference, and continued to do so for the Bulldog’s first 17 seasons. Reynold’s led the team to a fine 4-2-1 record, but was one of five coaches to manage the Bulldogs during the team’s first five seasons. He was also the team’s only coach to finish a season with a winning record during that period, with coaches Charles Barnard and Marvin Dickinson combining for a 2-10 record over the 1904 and 1905 seasons.
Despite a subpar 2-4-1 record in 1906, the University of Georgia retained coached W.S. Whitney, who delivered the program its second winning season in 1907 at 4-3-1. That said, it would not be until the arrival of coach W.A. Cunningham in 1910 that the Bulldogs would come to enjoy the success of stable leadership. Cunningham won six games in his first season, a university record, then won seven games the following year. The team won six games in each of the following two seasons. Coach Cunningham left the team after the 1919 campaign, stepping down with a cumulative record of 43-18-9.
Herman Stegeman took over for Cunningham in 1920, leading the Bulldogs to a near perfect 8-0-1 record. It would be the program’s final outing as an independent team, as the University of Georgia joined the Southern Conference ahead of the 1921 season. The change had little impact on Stegeman, who won 12 out of 20 games played between 1921 and 1922. Stegeman was succeeded by coach George Cecil Woodruff, who set a new win record for the school during his final season in 1927 with nine victories.
Harry Mehre became the program’s tenth coach in 1928 and would go on to lead the team for 10 years, a record at the time. His tenure coincided with team’s decision to join the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in 1933. The school has remained in the SEC ever since, enjoying the majority of the program’s success during this period.
The team’s first landmark moment as an SEC competitor came in 1941, when the Bulldogs played in and won its first bowl game, a 40-26 win over Texas Christian University. The following season coach Wallace Butts, in his fourth year with the team, secured an 11-1 record, the team’s first double-digit win total, and finished the season as the nation’s top ranked team.
While more bowl victories and high national rankings would follow, the Bulldog’s greatest successes as an SEC program came in 1980 and 2021, when the program won national championships. Playing under head coach Vince Dooley, the 1980 Bulldogs enjoyed a perfect 12-0 record, defeating Notre Dame 17-10 in the Sugar Bowl to secure the national championship and No. 1 ranking. In 2021, meanwhile, coach Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs went 14-1 and won the College Football Championship in the Orange Bowl.
