I heard the word "cut" as "turned" yesterday. As in "I had the phone cut back on, since my dad lent me $20." Cut on? Is that legit, or does that sound weird... when I hear the "He had his arm cut off in a car accident." I don't think "Well, I hope he gets to a doctor fast, and is able to cut it back on!"

In regards to writing: "Like you I feel that the short story is a more perfect form than the novel. I tend to be very descriptive and end up running long for short stories. I'm told that I have an immersive richly styled prose, unfortunately I think I'm more style than substance but hey it works for a lot of folks. You on the other hand are more substantive, I find your observances intriguing and would certainly fork over the bucks to read them."

That's high praise from someone I consider to be a fine creative talent. Thanks, GP.

Moment of Lyric -

We're going down to meet it
I ain't no student
Feel those vibrations
Of ancient culture
I know a neat excavation
Before I talk I should read a book
But there's one thing That I do know
There's a lot of ruins In Mesopotamia

Ringo Starr, superhero

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Faster than a speeding snare roll: It's Ringo Starr, superhero.

The former Beatles drummer has undertaken a joint venture with Stan Lee's POW! Entertainment to develop a multimedia franchise in which Starr will play a super powered animated version of himself.

The Starr-Lee project initially will be launched as a 60- or 90-minute DVD, but POW! and Starr's entertainment company, Rocca Bella, plan to explore TV, feature film and other avenues.

Starr will voice his own character. Remarkably, this will mark the first significant animated appearance by Starr as Starr. In ABC's 1965-67 cartoon series "The Beatles," he was voiced by Lance Percival; Paul Angelis portrayed Ringo in the animated 1968 feature "Yellow Submarine"; and Starr appeared as himself on a 1991 episode of "The Simpsons." Starr also served as a narrator on the British kids TV series "Thomas the Tank Engine."

The musician also will contribute original songs and incidental music.

"I've been making a CD, so I have lots of ideas," Starr said. Referring to his '90s touring group, he added, "(The action) will be set around a band. They'll be their own characters. It'll be a very strange All-Starr Band."

Starr called Lee "a great creator. (This project) wasn't anything I was looking for. But he had this idea of a musical superhero -- what I like to think of as a reluctant superhero. . . . I'll zoom in to save the world, or a damsel in distress, or a small village. Who knows where he'll go?"

Lee -- originator of such comic book icons (and big-screen franchises) as Spider-Man, the Hulk and the Fantastic Four, said of Starr: "He's a great, great guy to work with. He's a real guy, and he's imaginative, and we seem to be on the same wavelength."

The collaboration came together after POW! chief operating officer Gill Champion and Rocca Bella head Marjorie Bach, both equestrians, met during a ride and began discussing the possibility of a collaboration.

"Cut the light on"

[(Anonymous)]

When I first moved to the mountains of western North Carolina, my Yankee ears were hurt when I heard "Cut the light on." I have since learned that this little pocket of the states has retained many of its 17th century phrases from the west of England and Scotland. Not only do we cut the light on, the sun comes up "of a morning" and one "mashes" the brake pedal when the drive thru at the bank "is tore up." I still don't understand how "cut the light on" works; oh, well, my students think my New England accent is silly. Do you know where the person who had his phone cut back on is from? Susan

Hey there, Susan! How'd you find my journal?

He sounded like he was from deep south, too.. Georgia.

I've heard of folks having "mash any key to continue" prompts on the computer, too.

People use "cut" like that quite often here. I might go so far as to generalize that those people are usually of a lower class. Maybe. Sometimes. :)

Good note to self. You're a good man, Scotto. *hugs*

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I want to refer to yielding in traffic as "cutting somebody on" now. :)

Aw, thanks! I'm not sure what sort of flowers to get, but they'll sing to me when I see 'em!

*huggo*

That's interesting... you didn't write in it until you had the place marked for two months?

Re: i'm still a member, and i own one of her coolest hats.

i was started in august. i used to have a similar post at the beginning of the farbel journal, but i deleted it when i decided to make it for the website only. (i didn't know about changing permissions yet)

Re: i'm still a member, and i own one of her coolest hats.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you've managed to perservere all this time!

Re: i'm still a member, and i own one of her coolest hats.

My life has changed a lot, too... way back when, I was too poor to even afford a paid account!

I heard "cut" used often in NC.

Though, I have to wonder if the person above who said it may/sometimes be used by the lower class, is something native to their Tennessee area? Because my family and others that I heard it from, are opposite of middle class. That could also be native to our area in NC. Who knows. :0)

I hear "cut on/off the engines", in movies. Do you hear that?

I say "fixin'" & "fixing" like a good many Texans do, and people from elsewhere get uppity, or a bit freaky when they hear it. After 15 years of them overacting about it (you would be surprised), I get annoyed. ;) Bad Girl. :D

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

oops...opposite from lower class. My first sentence about it, made no sense.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I've heard cut off those engines... but I can't recall "cut on". It struck me as quite strange.

Fixin'/fixing to get ready? I've heard that a lot... I don't even think of that being very weird.

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Hehe..well that's okay, I think it stops me for a moment when people say "chimichanga" with a long A.

Also, people in Austin say: Guada-loop, rather than Guadalupay or Guadalupee. Manchaca = Manchack (took me YEARS to drop the widely known version, and switch to the way Austinites pronounce it. There's a bunch of others, but I can't remember than all. Called Austin-speak, or some such...

I've heard "cut on the lights", too. Maybe I've heard it here in Texas..and just imagined I heard it in movies. Hmm.

Yeah, if you say "What are you doing?" I will often answer "Fixing to (whatever}". Maybe I should stop saying it. :D
