About Me
- Name: Ladrón de Basura (a.k.a. Junk Thief)
- Location: San Francisco, California, United States
JunkThief is your typical Gallic Jew boy born on the Great Plains, went to Gotham and Ouagadougou and Kathmandu before settling in San Francisco's Mission District. Now he searches the dark alleys of that city to find good conversation, Weimar culture and (but of course) the perfect door knob.

I don't even remember this show! Mitzi sure can dance. It's when she tries to do musical numbers that are not age-appropriate that it comes off all Dora Hall. Dora is the queen of awkward TV specials all paid for by her husband the Solo Cup magnate. I think there's a number where a barbershop quartette sings Hey Jude. But is that much different than the new movie "Across the Universe"?
I've met Mitzi Gaynor's husband/agent who produced those specials. He had a real version of those magnetic dogs. HE saw the video of Bryce's "The Mary Clud." We went to a deli and he got into a fight with the girl's in the next booth, asked them if they had checked their brains at the door. I think the food was on the house...uh...one does not want to get bad publicity when running a deli.
Bryce - Oh, you and your many, many celebrity connections. You drop more names than I drop bad boyfriends.
I'm not quite sure I appreciate your comment about "age-appropriate" material. I'm about the same age as Mitzi when she was making those TV specials, and I am not too proud to dance around scantily clad against of backdrop of young men in bright yellow jump suits. When I accept my sixth Emmy, don't expect me to include you on the thank you list!
