And welcome to the SDMB!
As I figured once you mentioned the Vonnegut connection. When I was in college, I was an extra in a student film which was a loose enough adaptation of Player Piano that various characters from other Vonnegut novels, including Eliot Rosewater, made appearances.
rosewater wants to don the jumpsuit? Oh dear, dear, dear…
ahem
Welcome rosewater! We have a banquet laid on just down the hall, if you would come this way…?
Soups, roast beef, mashed potatoes, a fruit plate, chicken, all sorts of delicacies. And pie, too. The calamari is very fresh.
Jim, thanks for the advice. I have changed the location field.
This sounds interesting, is it available anywhere? I know Vonnegut often doesn’t adapt well, I recently saw a very mangled stage version of Happy Birthday, Wanda June, but I tend to enjoy them anyway.
And thanks for the buffet.
Baseball? You call what you like “baseball”?
Sorry, thought it was the snark thread still.
Carry on!
Ah yes, welcome to the board. As long as you hate the Yankees, you’re fine by me.

I treat the Yankees with lordly indifference.

Hi 
me too. just membered up today as matter of fact.
As a Cubs fan I must reserve the majority of my hate for the Cardinals, but I can set some aside for the Yankees as well.
And to jimbeam, I hardly have seniority here, but welcome!
and feel free to share this thread.
Welcome aboard.
Hey. The Cubs used to be the elite of the National League; the others being the Cardinals and Giants. I was a big Cubs fan, listening to Dutch Reagan recreate their games from the teletype over WHO Des Moines.
My wife and I drove to Chicago from Iowa City in a '39 Chevy once a year, at least, to see a game. Poor old Wrigley Field is falling apart and needs to be replaced. When they do that I hope they simply duplicate what they’ve got, maybe with a few more seats.
Rosewater can be used for cooking? Mom uses it as perfume…
What are you doing out of Mom’s closet? Oh well, so long as you post, we’ll let you stay out. Welcome to the Dope!
Indifference? Pshaw! They are pinstriped targets of SCORN!
I knew I liked you, LOUNE. 
Noooo! We love Wrigley. Many (perhaps most) fans love it more than the team.
By the way, I now have a brand new, less confusing, name (Thanks, Dex). Now more easily linked to the Vonnegut character I was aiming for.
And I continue to say, Thanks for the welcome.
LOUNE: I think you are developing a stutter.
Kudos to **Dex ** for the Speedy change.
I now welcome **Mr. Rosewater ** to the Dope.
jimbeam: Glad you joined, I think instead of the squid we have a special assortment of Garden Varmints for you. Evil Nazi Groundhogs, Armed Armadillos and a few screwy squirrels.

that’s cool, but you gotta deal with the hampsters
Hi again. Sorry about that, Mr. Rosewater. Dunno why I though you were a woman.
Carry on
Sure. That’s why I said to replace it with an exact duplicate. When chunks of concrete start falling from the upper deck onto the lower, isn’t it time to do something rather drastic?
No problem. It was probably because Rose is a (somewhat) common female name. I don’t know why I didn’t notice that at first.

If they replaced it with an exact duplicate, wouldn’t they still need to fix they concrete?
It was directed by this man, whose home page and e-mail addresses can be found at the bottom of the linked page. I haven’t been in touch with him since we left Virginia Wesleyan about a quarter-century ago, and he wouldn’t know who “Sternvogel” is (indeed, Ken’s probably forgotten my real name by now). Nevertheless, he’d be the guy to contact if you want to know more about the flick.
