Lyrics from "New Math" by Bo Burnham, a 17 year old boy whose gift for clever lyrics reminds me of a combination of

So did Carroll's "Lend Me A Tenor" suck as much as I am forced to assume it did based on the cast list I just read in the latest "Humanities, Fine Arts, and Social Sciences" newsletter?

Yowch, man.

And who chose that F Train to Dullsville performance picture that accompanied the article? FIRE THEM.

There's almost nothing you could do to get me to see ( Read more... )

In rather shocking news here at Dad's Roofing Company, Inc., one of our sales guys, E.E., called me up on Saturday to inform me that his wife S. E.- the one who sat next to me at the baseball game on Friday- had suffered a mini-stroke some time during the ( Read more... )

I'm watching Thoroughly Modern Millie and it's the scene where Millie and Jimmy are out on the ledge of the building and whenever the guy leans too far forward he starts to become invisible. How did they green screen these things back then? Or-- well it was blue then, no? How did they do it with the technology of the day? I mean, fake as it looks, ( Read more... )

They remind me of Christmases at Grandma and Grandpa's house on the island; of the dining room table filled with bowls of various doughs and batters and sprinkles and powdered sugar, and the rolls of wax paper, and cookie cutters, and pans with rusted ( Read more... )

Attempted to see a basketball game after work today. One of my coworkers, E.E., is on a team through... something... and I told him I'd go see his game if he and his wife, S., came to my show.

Well as it happens he hurt his neck last weekend-- something with one of his sons' wrestling stuff at school-- so they didn't make it. But lest we forget: I'm ( Read more... )

I'm watching "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum" and having a hell of a time figuring out why in the world this thing has remained so popular for so long. There's just NOTHING funny in this.

I mean: I can muster a chuckle or two for occasional ENORMOUS, ham-handed ridiculosity, mugging, and unnattractive middle aged men in chiffon, but ( Read more... )
