>I wouldn't mind having Yul for a page turner!
but... isn't he still dead?!
re: yadda v. yada - at least it's not an order of magnitude difference.

Yer right. Not a LOT of difference between a D and a double-D.

Ha! Now our production really would get stunning audiences if Yul were our page turner! Conclusive proof of life after death! Wow!
Thanks for the correction, tsuwm. I somehow missed Yul's passing.

To a spin around the web. Seems many folks think yad(d)a was invented for the Seinfeld show, but some trace it back to Lenny Bruce. I remember it being used in a David Frye record about Watergate back in the early '70s where the Ron Steiger prisoner character taunts the warden with a cry of "Yadda yadda Warden!" I looked in Harkavy's Yiddish-English-Hebrew Dictionary and found an entry for yaden 'to vex'. That would mean that yade could be an imperative form. A possible connection, not. Whatever.

I'm pretty sure Yul Brynner is. Dunno about Yul Brenner.

Sometimes I just as well may go put my head in a sack.
This is a good place to get facts striaght. On this website I have been corrected--and rightly so--on numerous factual errors. And I am very happy, Faldage, to add to your list of WW-Corrected-Again the spelling of Yul's last name. Yule Brynner. Got it. Yule Brynner. [This is a little joke.]

And we're also more than pretty sure that he's in He3aven. Everyone know's he'd been shaved.

WW-Corrected-Again...
As a disinterested (!) observer, Dub2, I must inquire: Where perzacklyŽ did *you misspell Yul's last name?

My apologies for putting the wrong spelling in your mind. Br ynner wouldn't have been impressed.
