Jim's Café Tuesday, February 21, 2017

[Acy]

Good morning! Goodies (standard café fare) are out for all to enjoy. Clean up is to be done by everyone when they are finished eating! No crumbs and dirty dishes left around, please. (Please!)

It is another Entertainment Day at Jim's Café to blast away the winter doldrums. I hope everyone is ready for some SF magic. Today's acts include )but are not limited to)...

@Freya is reviving her love of Shirley Temple movies and will do a tribute with @NYJmpMaster to "On the Good Ship Lollipop"

@Rockclimbinggirl is singing "Climb Every Mountain" from The Sound of Music

@cgh0991 has written a new song for us, "Always a Minion, Never a Mucky Muck"

@Petal will sing "Danny Boy"

@DrownedFishOnFire will sing "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess (just because of the line 'Fish are jumping")

@SillyOldBear will lead us in a guided meditation, "Fuzzy Wuzzy Was a Bear"

@Innocent Forever is stepping out of her comfort zone to do a Burlesque Can-Can, and will be joined by @texaskitty, @JMG, @Fell Mor, and @Inanimate

@ghosTea will sing "I'll Be Watching You"

@Acanthi is doing a (very) highwire act in toe shoes

@baywasp is demonstrating shadow boxing in the dark

@DoodlingStars, @walkerbait95, @Witty_Sarcasm, @total eclipse and @AlexiMarie7 will sing "When You Wish Upon a Star"

@Acy is doing a disappearing act.

I'm sure to have left off other regulars and my apologies for that. I'm rushing. If I've left you off, please forgive me and add your name and act to the programme. EVERYONE is welcome.

TODAY'S CHALLENGE: Find an image or a video that "goes with" your act - if it matches exactly that's fine; if it's related that's fine. Have fun! Let's make each other laugh today!

 

[DoodlingStars]

Thank you for opening up shop!

I wish I was as cute as this dog when singing Sounds like a very fun and noisy day at the cafe today!

 

[Acanthi]

Thanks for involving me mama bear. As a matter of fact, I have a lot of experience doing ballerina highwire (as it's know in the trade.) This is a photo of me performing as a circus in Moscow. It was a wonderful affair, but I did drop my umbrella on an audience member...and so I was cast out of the circus....never to return again...

@DoodlingStars and @Acanthi I love it! Thank you for performing (playing along and providing pictures!)!

 

[Freya]

This will have to do until such point as I can get @NYJmpMaster into a frilly dress and a wig with ringlets....

Feel like the walking dead today - zombie-ing my way through work. Not really earning my keep at the moment to be honest. Ah well. Need to try to take a couple of days off work next week and recharge. And not spend those days eating - eek!

Hope everyone else is having an absolutely fantabulous day. Thank you for opening the café @Acy and organising the entertainment

 

[Acy]

@Freya, a lovely picture, indeed! I am also waiting to see @NYJmpMaster in ringlets!

 

[Rockclimbinggirl]

 

[ghosTea]

@ghosTea will sing "I'll Be Watching You"

Do you mean Every Breath you Take by the Police? or is there another song I need to sing

 

[Innocent Forever]

Why does @Freya 's image not show? No fair
Can't wait to see all the entertainment, thanks for what's been done so far! I'm hiding until I know what a Burlesque Can-Can actually is...... no videos please, just explanations, then sure, we can give a version of it.

And hiya all

 

[DrownedFishOnFire]

For the challenge

And to add to my task the singing is underwater and is trapped by the bubbles I apologize for the tech glitch at this moment!

 

[Acy]

@Rockclimbinggirl, thank you! Encore, encore - "The Hills Are Alive with the Sound of Music"...lol

@ghosTea Yes, the song by the Police, please.

@Innocent Forever...hmm, I can see Freya's picture; not sure why it's not visible for you. Burlesque Can-Can - best explanation I can of is the show girls in Moulin Rouge doing high kicks.

@DrownedFishOnFire I love the singing under water. Excellent!

 

[Baywasp]

Another boring day. I finished a powerpoint presentation about the Finnish language and sent it to the guy I'm partnered with for the project. I hope he shows up tomorrow and does the presentation like he said he would because I'd rather not have to do that. We have a rugby meeting tonight. No idea what we'll go over, but it should be fine. Maybe the most interesting part of my day.

This what you mean? It's hard to see in the dark!

 

[Acy]

It's hard to see in the dark!

So true! But holy bananas @baywasp, you found a video!! (Impressive!)

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

Awesome sauce, but who is the lead and who are the backup singers in this group :P

 

[ghosTea]

I can't think of anything you made this too hard.. Pick a song about stalking/big brother all I can think about is semi awkward sketches or comics lol

 

[ghosTea]

Ah I got it.. Default cute animal vid. Fennec Fox stalking its prey lol thanks to @Evangeline

 

[Acy]

Ah I got it.. Default cute animal vid.

Good default position, @ghosTea! I didn't realize Fennec foxes were so small. Very sweet, too. Thanks for the video!

 

[Acy]

@Witty_Sarcasm I love that image! We can make whole galaxies of wishes now.

 

[Acy]

@Acanthi Do you need special toe shoes for ballerina highwire? Maybe with magnetic tips?

 

[Acanthi]

@Acy my shoes actually have sandpaper tips for extra grip. That makes it more dangerous on the tightrope though. Once, I accidentally cut the rope with my sandpaper shoes and fell into a shark tank underneath. But it was ok cuz I swim fast
