Hey all... just joined the board because I see Marc on it a lot!

I'd just like to mention that the benefit in NJ was an especially wonderful experience for me. As Marc's assistant, I got to know a bit more about his incredible life.

I must say.... hearing him talk about working for Bette was very much like my own experience with him.

AND... Catch Me If You Can... is going to rock, if I do say so myself. I'm a composer too... and a very critical one. Marc constantly impresses me.

It was amazing meeting you on Monday, Lucian, but not as AMAZING as hearing "50 Checks"!

[Marc Shaiman]

wow, Lucian, you have earned your stripes today as a brown-nosed, ass-kissing sycophant!! you and Eddie already have so much in common!

but get off these damn websites and get back to work!! Re-boot my computer!! Hurry up with that lead sheet!! TIE MY SHOES!

and VoiceAnth, stop trying to seduce my assistant with your bicep, he's not so shallow!

And Lucian, stop staring at that icon of VoiceAnth's bicep!

Eddie Varley, stop whatEVER it is you're doing, I'm sure it's just wrong!

uh oh, better say something on-topic...um...hey, I paid the workers today renovating our apartment...I musta written out, oh, I don't know...maybe...50 CHECKS!!!!

Clearly, this is a sham. A Shaiman sham. I've heard your "50 Checks" and it sounds suspiciously similar to the song "Fifty Cheques" from the little known 1951 Ukranian musical "Catch As Catch Can." The story of a young man who blusters his way into the various positions within the Communist party while leaving a trail of unpaid debts. Obviously, the copyright has expired.

Listen Biggins, while I am partial to the opinion of a hairy man, you are out of line. I don't want to sound like that ass-kissin toadie Eddie Varley but that "Fifty Checks" brought tears to my eye. Jeez, that Varley could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch. By "suck" I mean "kiss" and by "trailer hitch" I mean Marc Shaiman's ass.

Could anyone recommend a good pubic mousse? It's gettin a little tangled and unruly down there.

well Biggins, I'm busted...you nailed it Updated On: 4/30/04 at 11:56 PM

Mousse it out. I'd suggest using Stiff Stuff.

Hey gang!

I was at Costco all day buying bottled water and Bounty Big Rolls, and when I went to pay I had no cash, so I had to use,"50 CHECKS"....

As long as we're giving a *bump* of admiration to Mr. Shaiman's work.

A little brassy swing song about a felony being sung by a swaying and deeply-loved composer. Does it get better than this?!

Only November 2nd will tell. =)

I hope if we win in November, Marc will have something lovely as a gift to all of us.
