Season 3, Episode 4 | While You Were Sleeping (1995)
Happy holidays from Gabby & Amy! Our gift to you is an episode about the delightful romcom While You Were Sleeping. Released to little fanfare in the summer of 1995, the film established Sandra Bullock as a leading lady and exceeded box office and critics' expectations. Gabby and Amy revisit the film and find its gentle sweetness and farcical rhythms as fresh as a blue spruce.

And now for something completely different - Chapter Three in my serial The Bawdy Bard: Pulicose Link of Pronken!!!
Excerpt:
He’d barely dozed off when someone roughly pushed him and he nearly toppled off the divan. His eyes flew open to see a strange boy standing in the bathroom door. He must be filthy rich since he was clad in a high-end blue and white Sheikah athletic wear tracksuit with a red eye emblazoned in the center. Link would kill for workout clothes like that.
At least Link thought it was a boy. It was difficult to tell since most of their face was obscured. Chin-length sunshine blond hair covered one eye, and they must be a germaphobe since a white cloth surgical mask covered the lower half of their face.
The quizzical red eye he could see was studying him as if they weren’t sure what to make of him. “A sleeping boy dreaming of one day becoming a man.”
Who the hell was this weirdo?
And you don’t want to miss the limerick Link sings this week!! 🤣

The Biden's & The Meghans=Same
Much like MEgain Markle, Jill Biden thinks her honorary title transformed her into Beyonce!
I'll admit to viewing Jill Biden's fishnet stockings as tacky and inappropriate. I also feel she has deep seated insecurities requiring everyone to address her as "Doctor." In America, it is our custom to ONLY address Medical Doctors as "Doctor...." in ALL settings for PRACTICAL reasons: in the event of a MEDICAL emergency it's good to know there's a "doctor in the house."
Honorary doctorates and/or doctorates in education are relativelyeasy to achieve. Jill Biden's (community college) Ed.D is NOT recognized outside of her community college academic settings.
Not to be outdone by her husband, the POTUS. Mrs. Biden ordered the Marine Corps Band to compose theme music solely to accompany her honorary FLOTUS position.
Hail to the Chief is dedicated to our American POTUS, but Jill felt she also deserved an entrance song, and Fanfare for the First Lady was born.
"Those in the Marine Corps Band said they'd never been asked to do an exclusive First Lady entrance theme before. "Someone in the White House apparently 'had the bright idea, ‘Oh, tell the band that we want music for Jill,'' a source said. 'The band had to provide music,'" Adams reported."

Jill Biden apparently has her own walk-up music now.
The Marine Corps band was instructed last fall to come up with an entrance theme for the first lady, a source told the Washington Examiner. The band now has in its repertoire an original composition titled “Fanfare for the First Lady.” The song, the source said, is essentially Jill Biden’s personal “Hail to the Chief,” in that it is to be performed and repeated at official White House functions, from her first appearance until she is ready to speak.
“Fanfare for the First Lady” has created both amusement and confusion within the band, with some remarking that in the many years they’ve played in the group, this is the first time the group has had to provide the first lady with an exclusive entrance theme.
Someone in the White House apparently “had the bright idea, ‘Oh, tell the band that we want music for Jill,'” a source said. “The band had to provide music.”
The band was “rushed” to provide the entrance song for the first lady, the source said, adding the Marine Corps band submitted a few options for the White House’s consideration. The first lady’s handlers settled eventually on the original piece “Fanfare to the First Lady.”
Michael LaRosa, Jill Biden’s press secretary, says the entire story is bunkum.
“The first lady does not have a song anybody has written for her specifically. She has no ‘Hail to the Chief’ song. She has no song,” he told the Washington Examiner. “She never asked anyone to create a song.”
“The White House asked nobody, not one person, to compose an exclusive entry song, or any song, for the first lady,” LaRosa added. “None of that is accurate.”
In fact, he said, “Fanfare for the First Lady” was the band’s idea. He said the band approached the White House with a proposal for new music. “Fanfare for the First Lady” wasn’t even initially written for Jill Biden, he continued, adding it’s simply a finalized version of a piece of music that was already nearly completed when the band first broached the topic with the White House.
“We didn’t ask for it,” LaRosa said. “They came and presented us the option. We had no idea it would even be used again.”
The Marine Corps band has made a recording of “Fanfare for the First Lady” to be played in its absence.
Though it’s not unusual for the group’s arrangers to be asked to compose music at a moment’s notice, a source told the Washington Examiner, it is unusual for the first lady to have her own entrance theme. The cherry on top giving the first lady the “Hail to the Chief” treatment, the source said, is this: “The music is just awful.”
“The song is terrible,” the source said, adding it’s ironic a “completely bogus premise” should result in such an “awful” final product.
The Marine Corps band, which did not respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment, has performed “Fanfare for the First Lady” at least twice already, including in October of last year for a Teacher of the Year event held at the White House:
It would be “highly unusual” if the White House instructed the Marine Corps band to compose an entrance song exclusively for the first lady, White House historian Tevi Troy told the Washington Examiner.
However, he added, it wouldn’t be the first time something like this has happened.
In the 1980s, Troy said, then-President Ronald Reagan’s onetime chief of staff Donald Regan similarly demanded the band compose an entrance song just for him, much to the chagrin of then-White House deputy chief of staff Michael Deaver and then-U.S. Secretary of the Treasury James Baker.
Regan, Troy writes, was “imperious, insisting on all kinds of pomp and circumstance. When traveling with the president, Regan demanded that he get his own introduction, as White House chief of staff. [Baker and Deaver] were mortified when they found out — a bad sign for Regan.”
He adds, “A joke went around the White House about the possibility of Regan becoming a Catholic cardinal and why that would be an improvement: ‘That’s good, now,’ the joke went, ‘we’ll only have to kiss his ring.’”
Regan, by the way, didn’t last long as Reagan’s chief of staff. He was booted from the role after a little more than two years on the job.
Dr. Mrs. the first lady, on the other hand, is here for the entirety of her husband’s presidency, so expect to hear “Fanfare for the First Lady” for the next couple of years.
No word yet on whether we should expect an entrance song for second gentleman Doug Emhoff.
This story has been updated with a comment from the White House.
Further Update: April 13, 2022.
The U.S. Marine Band has retired “Fanfare for the First Lady” from its repertoire, the Washington Examiner has learned. The song was removed quietly following the publication of this article, a source said. One source attributed the decision to pull the composition from rotation to “negative” news coverage. We hope the first lady can forgive us for killing her entrance theme.

The media illiteracy plague isn't new, but I'm genuinely baffled to find out that there are people who are confused and disturbed about the show humorously implying that the villainous scheming aristocrat, Andrelphus, might be sexually attracted to his vapid hateful aristocrat sister.
Beyond parody.
Literally pearlclutching at classical farce comedy. Vaudeville would kill these people.

Y'all, I love this type of comedy so much, but it plays so much better on a visual media. It inspired this chapter, but I by no means pulled it off. Video included for example, and because I know some of you will find it interesting.
