I just hope my neighbors didn't hear. 23007. judithathome - 11/26/2007 9:06:37 PM We watched The 3 Penny Opera this weekend and I discovered the answer to the lapel pin that Donald Sutherland wears in Dirty Sexy Money
! It's a watch chain pin...the chain hooks to the back of the pin behind the lapel and the watch is slipped into the breast pocket of the jacket. Mack the Knife wore one in the film...it was a story told at the time of Queen Victoria's coronation.
The day after discovering this, my friend who is the authority on i everything called after his daughter had described the pin to him and he told me the same thing...that it was a watch chain pin.
Have never seen Sutherland use the watch but that's what the pin is for, anyhow. 23008. David Ehrenstein - 11/26/2007 11:31:17 PM "Now those among you full of pious teaching
Who teach us to renounce the major sins
should know before you do your heavy preaching
our middle's empty
there it all begins
Your vices and our virtues are so dear to you
So learn the simple truth from this our song
wherever you aspire
whatever you may do
first feed the face
and then talk right and wrong
For even honest folk
May act like sinners
unless they've had their customary dinners.
What keeps a man alive?
What keeps a man alive
He lives on others
He likes to taste them first then eat them whole if he can
Forgets that they're supposed to be his brothers
That he himself
Was ever called a man
Remember if you wish to stay alive
For once do something bad and you'll survive
You warn us with appropriate caresses
That virtue humble virtue always wins
Now please before your moral verve oppresses
Our middle's empty there it all begins
Oh you who don't in our despair and your desire
may learn the simple truth from this our song
whatever you may do whatever you aspire
first feed the face and then talk right and wrong
for even saintly folk may act like sinners
unless they've had their customary dinners
WHat keeps a man alive?
What keeps a man alive
He lives on others
He likes to taste them first then eat them whole if he can
Forgets that they're supposed to be his brothers
That he himself was ever called a man
Remember if you wish to stay alive
For once do something bad and you'll survive" 23009. arkymalarky - 11/27/2007 12:21:01 AM Alistair--send him to our school for a semester as an exchange student if he does get kicked out. Good luck to all of you in the meantime. 23010. arkymalarky - 11/27/2007 12:24:38 AM What a fun millennial race to read! Alistair the Dark Horse. You're safe from an Arky steal on a weekday--except tomorrow when I have the day off. 23011. judithathome - 11/27/2007 4:30:56 AM Nice poetry but I hope it doesn't mean my quest for the meaning of Sutherland's pin was a waste of time, David. 23012. David Ehrenstein - 11/27/2007 5:15:59 PM No dear. It's one of the best -- but least sung -- songs from The Threepenny Opera. The english lyrics are by Johnny Mercer. I love Marianne Faithful's rendition of it.
