Hello. I like message boards a lot.

 

[cookiejar]

Hi!!

 

[MathGirl]

Huh?

Dear Anne,
Is that why you came here? To tell us you don't like "these message boards?" Why bother?
MG
Ps. Hello, anyway

The addiction is already beginning to take effect.

Having posted your opinion about message boards, you will find yourself compelled to return to see what sort of reply it gets.

Next, you will be driven to reply to one of the responses, and so on, and so on, and so on. . . .

Next thing you know, you will have passed 100 posts, and be casting about for a suitable avatar.

And Quaz will direct the miniseries.

This place is adictive.

Gauche

The spelling seems about right to me, Gauchecritic.

Hi, Anne. I was just wondering what the philosophical significance is of the number "240" and the psychological implications of your use of two, (2), exclamation marks to end your remarks??

Gauche welcome.

Gauche: what's come over you? That was quite an uncharacteristically ebulliantly rampant welcome. (And there's no clue to the persona but for the female name.)

Were you blurry? bessomy?

[gauchecritic]

Hmm. One post, thirteen replies, over 24 hours and no answer.

HELLO

Purr,

the generous welcome was on account of the fact that the first 3 words make up the opening line to the opening song from Cabaret and I just finished the verse is all.

I wanted the loud brash MC role but they gave it to a better singer and I got the more actory part, the quiet man, of the Jewish guy (not in the film) with a very sad song and a comic song and I got to practice my mid-european accent. I also had to fall 20 feet from the upper stage into waiting arms. The stage collapsed and I fell strainght down instead of backwards. Still trooped on though.

Gauche:

Limelight suits you, eh? I would love to have seen Alan Cumming as the emcee. I can't bear Liza Minelli (though she had great tits in the film) so really can't watch it. For a rougher vérité view of the Berlin nightlife of that time you must see "Night Porter" w/Dirk Bogarde, and in an exquisite scene in a club, the perverse Charlotte Rampling (see pic attached).

Would I be right in saying that was probably a barnstorming performance?

Errr. Aye if you like.

Gauche

 

[cahab]

Errr. Aye if you like.

Gauche

If you don't get it I'm probably wrong. I was hard pushed to think of yorkshire companies who'd done Cabaret, is all.

 

[gauchecritic]

Riiiight. got it now.

It was years ago at college. Bingley. Main course drama.

Gauche's reminiscence of a local persecution of "Cabaret" reminds me about the time our town's trampoline troupe undertook to perform their adaptation of "Swan Lake."

Unfortunately, their trampoline was moved from the gym, which had a fifty-foot high ceiling, to the Band Shell, whose ceiling - at the highest point - was fifteen feet.

By the end of the first act, the entire trope had been evacuated to the local hospital, where they were kept overnight for observation of diagnosed concussions.

The troupe leader tried to insist that the show should go on, moving the trampoline to the baseball diamond, but the magic of Tchaikovsky had deserted far too many of the participants.

That is the trouble with small town theatre. Much too little professional commitment.

When even in High School, we knew "The show must go on!"

As adults, we just get too cautious and whiny.

Swanolympics?

Quas, I know I'll regret asking but having seen numerous productions of Swan Lake by the best ballet companies in the world, I must.

Why on earth was a trampoline needed? Swans glide, never heard of them jumping. Ballet jetes are one thing, but man, I can't get the image out of my head of all those broken wings.

Good question. Maybe they'd decided to slightly alter the original and call the thing, "Leapin' Lemur Lagoon."

Quasi,

Tell us the truth, you used to be a writer for the Monty Python folks, right? Everytime I think about the possibilities, it gets funnier.
