And so I'm for making hay

Last night I nearly forgot it was Thursday and that I had to pick up my paycheck. THAT could have been disastrous. Fortunately, I remembered in time.
Stopped by Marie's Crisis, where somecamerunning and Sarah were not yet drunk! I asked for a Coke instead of Scotch, and Chad gave it to me for free ( Read more... )

"Showtune" was the opening number for an Off-Broadway topical revue Jerry Herman wrote called Parade, featuring Dody Goodman and Charles Nelson Reilly. The best song was called "Jolly Theatrical Season" about all the shows that opened during the 1959 season.

Cheyevsky's Tenth Man is riotous revel
A Long Island girl is possessed by the devil.

It may not have run long but Juno's great charm was
That Shirley Booth's son had a hook where his arm was.

And a line you really don't expect from Jerry Herman...

I should have seen Rashamon so many more times
At every performance Claire Bloom got rapped four times.

Juno? Jupiter Forbid? What was up in the '50s with all the musicals about Roman gods?

No, "Jupiter Forbid" is a song from By Jupiter (Rodgers & Hart's musical version of The Warrior's Husband)

Juno was a Marc Blitzstein/Joe Stein musical based on Juno and the Paycock.

It was a joke, but the basic point I was making remains, be it "Jupiter Forbid" or By Jupiter.

It's funny... slam_bang April 13 2007, 16:08:50 UTC

Brandon actually works for a company that I work very closely with.

He rules, and is a rockstar of an "interviewer" which he does for my company. He interviews corporate bigwigs for us.

Cool fella. A cutie.

I think the Ryland that you met is a friend of mine. He's adorable and I love him...

He is adorable. It's his birthday today, if it's the same guy.

Is this him on the left:

?

We worked at the zoo together and became friends. If it's not him, that's 2 guys in the world named Ryland, and that's just plain strange... :)

Pretty sure that's him (although his hair's much scruffier now).
