My First Post and it's a Doozy
Hello everyone!
First off I want to say that I am deeply saddened by the loss of Jerry Orbach(aka Lenny Briscoe on Law and Order) this last Tuesday. He will be deeply missed by me and many people I know.
To him and the many people I've lost to cancer I dedicate this speech from the movie Calendar Girls which pretty much sums up how I feel about finding a cure for this ugly disease that no one should have to go through:
[seeking approval for the calendar at the National WI Conference]
Chris: I'm about to commit heresy. Look, I hate plum jam. [laughter]
Chris: I only joined the WI to make my mother happy. I do, I hate plum jam. I'm crap at cakes, I can't make sponge. In fact, seeing as it's unlikely that George Clooney would actually come to Skipton to do a talk on what it was like to be in "ER", there seems very little reason for me to actually stay in the WI. Except suddenly... suddenly I want to raise money in memory of a man I loved, and to do that I'm prepared to take me clothes off for a WI calendar, and if you can't give us ten minutes of your time, Madam Chairman, well then, frankly, guys, I'm going to do it without council approval. Because there are some things that are more important than council approval. And if it means that we get closer to killing off this shitty, cheating, sly, conniving bloody disease that cancer is, oh God, I tell you, I'd run round Skipton market naked, smeared in plum jam, wearing nothing but a knitted tea cosy on me head and singing "Jerusalem". [laughter]
Now I hope you understand why I named my blog what I did. (the "I hate plum jam" part) I do hate plum jam but I am a good cook but I would run around nekkid too if i thought it would do any good in curing cancer.
Welcome to my world. haha
