'Time Bomb'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I use "Against our will, Papa! Against our will!" all. the. time.
I can't think of a G&S one right now, but the Theater Line I Use All. The. Time is "[We] know what's up, and who will soon go down" from Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet). It was the first play I'd ever done. Also the first I ever auditioned for.
There was a hilarious time when a friend of mine and I burst into "Appear! Appear! Appear!" at the same time, though.
Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)
Eeee! I did that show! So much (weird) fun and such brutal hard work.
Eeee! I did that show!
Ooh! In what capacity? I was Professor Night/Othello/Tybalt. It was my first acting role, so I probably wasn't all that good. The Thresher reviewer described my Othello as "purposefully (I hope) flat." But I did get to say "titmouse" on stage (well, on the floor...we didn't have a stage so much as...a floor...with curtains).
My capacity was... uhm... I'm full of cold meds and cotton-brained at the moment, but the thesis-doing chick, the one what talks a lot. In my present cottony state I can't remember her name or call up a single line from the play, but I do recall that sometimes she talked for pages at a time. How the hell did I do that?
It's the cold. It's got to be the cold. I don't want to have to contemplate being old and feeble and past my prime at 36.

Constance. The bloody STAR! Dude, very nice.
I do recall that sometimes she talked for pages at a time. How the hell did I do that?
Yes, yes she does. And often in iambic pentameter. "Perhaps some heartless student spiked my beer."
"Tail they may, but foot they cannot!"
I don't remember that line. Unless it's from something else.
"Except mermaids, who cannot properly be said to set foot on anything."
I wish I'd had my iMac at the time; I'd've done soundtrack CDs for everyone in the show. All of us got together and tossed at the director every song we could think of with a Good night, Good morning or Shakespeare reference, and she picked her favorites. Purty stuff.
Emily bought pretties for the living room. I got to open them even though she's a work. She has good tastes. I can't wait to hang the sconce she bought!
