Dana, Jerry Orbach was the first El Gallo, I'm pretty sure.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, yeah, definitely. My parents have the OCR.

Sniffle. All my heroes are dying. I got the Lost Treasures of Broadway DVD, and it has killer footage of Orbach doing "The Lullaby of Broadway" from 42nd Street.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I spent Monday afternoon in Juliana's IKEA
Dude, you are one brave soul. I would have come down and brought you a drink if I had known you were so close.
Betsy, you are correct: Orbach created the role of El Gallo in the off-Broadway milestone “The Fantasticks.”

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I saw him in 42nd Street, back in the day.

My parents have the OCR.
I read this as Optical Character Recognition and was mightily confused for a minute.

I don't believe IKEA exists. It's like I live in the world without Swedish meatballs and SLUGIS boxes.

They have the old-fashioned biochemical kind.
Speaking of which, off to the eye doctor for eyelid torture.

What is even happening?
Oh, Betsy. I hope you're told you're all done with this, soon.

Google has a [link] posted on its front page, which leads to the above page of tsunami victim relief sites, for anyone interested.
Rest in peace, Jerry Orbach.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Also, Wabash is the coolest street name ever.
Personally, I'm a fan of "Lower Wacker Drive."
I mean, that is probably the most unlikely pairing anyone could ever have come up with, ever.
Or maybe Bing Crosby and David Bowie on "Little Drummer Boy"?
