Well no...have you ever seen "The Sound Of Music"? That is a good film and a good story.
"Maria" is from West Side Story. I like that line.

that's the other soundtrack my sister inflicted on us in the car! i've obviously got the two confused somewhere!
i have seen the sound of music. about 50 times. it used to be on every year at christmas, along with the wizard of oz. those were the days
is there a maria in the sound of music as well? |

I don't know, but there's a Maria in Jet Set Willy. _________________

i feel slightly less stupid now. there is a song in sound of music called maria. here are the lyrics, cos you
know
you want them
Maria
She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee
Her dress has got a tear
She waltzes on her way to Mass
And whistles on the stair
And underneath her wimple
She has curlers in her hair
I even heard her singing in the abbey
She's always late for chapel
But her penitence is real
She's always late for everything
Except for every meal
I hate to have to say it
But I very firmly feel
Maria's not an asset to the abbey
I'd like to say a word in her behalf
Maria makes me laugh
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say
How do you keep a wave upon the sand
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
When I'm with her I'm confused
Out of focus and bemused
And I never know exactly where I am
Unpredictable as weather
She's as flighty as a feather
She's a darling! She's a demon! She's a lamb!
She'd outpester any pest
Drive a hornet from its nest
She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
She is gentle! She is wild!
She's a riddle! She's a child!
She's a headache! She's an angel!
She's a girl!
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say
How do you keep a wave upon the sand
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? |

Hahaha, thanks for the MP3, Dave!!
That will go on my WinAmp play list without a doubt.
And I will add 'flibbertijibbet' to my personal vocabulary. _________________

i thought it was a made up word, but my dictionary says it is:
a chatterer; a flighty, thoughtless person; an impish knave (an illusion to scott's kenilworth); a fiend
so now you know |

Wow! Definitely a word I'm going to use regularly from now on!

Yeah Dave, I was teasing a little. Both leading female roles in the movies are Maria.
Haha...flibberjibbet.
Amour et Paix
P.S. Dave, how old are you if you've been around 50 christmases to see that? _________________ Man is the only animal clever enough to build The Empire State Building and stupid enough to jump from it. |
