Lately, I’ve been watching episodes of “What’s My Line” from the 1950s, moderated by John Charles Daly, with a panel including Dorothy Kilgallen, Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf, and Fred Allen.
.
Perhaps because my line is group psychotherapist, I enjoy watching the group dynamics on the show, as the panel members try to figure out people’s lines, keeping within the lines of 1950’s television propriety while saying witty, curious, and punny lines along the way.
Last night, I asked a question about lines on Twitter, and got all sorts of different answers.
.
“How are you doin’ today?” is a great line, don’t you think?
What’s my line that connects all my images for today?
.
The Daily Bitch Calendar is reminding me that my birth year was during the 1950s and that I added another line to my song about Chronic Illness.
When you have a chronic illness
You have to take your pill, yes,
And do other things you may not want to do.
Like undergo procedures which have such charming features that you sometimes need to give up blood and poo.
