The second 🐝 word I got yesterday was VITIATE, and that worried me.
Also I've taken to playing AIOLI and CALLALOO every day, just in case.
I'm amused or bemused by the fact that the 🐝, having accepted a noun I didn't think it was going to accept, rejected the adjective easily derived from it.

In 1991 I sent a note to Audrey Hepburn c/o Lincoln Center to tell her that a friend of mine who was to have attended her Film Society gala was too ill to attend, and she wrote him a note on her UNICEF stationery and sent it from Switzerland.
That's my Audrey Hepburn story.
"I missed you at Lincoln Centre [sic]! Get well soon!"
If I'm remembering it all correctly, that's Judy's stand-in, Bobie Koshay, in sepia dress and makeup (in the sepia set), making way for Technicolor Judy's entrance.
BTW that long pan (or is it a tracking shot, I can never remember which is which) across Munchkinland was snipped out of the print most of us remember watching on TV in the 60s.

"What's the siren song for? / What is my chaise longue for?"
Always happy to point out to Wizard of Oz watchers that the WWW's skywriting is addressed not to Dorothy (i.e., "Surrender, Dorothy") but to the citizens of Emerald City (i.e., give Dorothy to me). It originally read in full "Surrender Dorothy or die."
Also always happy to brood over the fact that the Witch's head monkey gets better billing than Aunt Em.
How many viewings did it take me to figure out what the Munchkin barrister says after "This is a day of independence / for all the Munchkins and their descendants"?
Rewatching Doubt, and noticing the way Father Flynn uses his maleness, not merely his authority as a priest, to attempt to keep Sister Aloysius in her place.
Also noting that Amy Adams tells her students to turn to p. 683 in a textbook that most certainly doesn't have 683 pages in it.
Plus there's some confusion (perhaps it's mine?) as to whether the sugar that Sister Aloysius serves Father Flynn is in a sugar bowl or a paper bag.
