"Love Me Tonight." Chevalier, MacDonald, Loy, Rodgers and also Hart. Soooo good.
My father-in-law's favorite musical. And I'll take this opportunity to pimp his new book. My favorite illustration of his is one of character actors from the thirties & forties who usually ended up playing the star's wealthy father, including LMT's Charlie Ruggles, Eugene Pallette, Charles Coburn, Edward Arnold, and... someone else. I'll ask him if he did an LMT painting or one of Rodgers & Hart (he's done a lot of songwriters.) Seems like he said he tried a Thin Man series but gave up because he couldn't figure out how to caricature Myrna Loy to his satisfaction. His favorite bit from LMT:
Vicomte Gilbert de Vareze: [after the Princess has fainted] Could you go for a doctor?
Countess Valentine: YES... bring him right in!
I quoted your tagline (sans the "In conclusion,") saying, "My Hindu friend says, 'Hinduism is a famous religion, plus, sexual congress'," but I actually heard it whooshing over everyone's head. Where's the tag from, anyhow?
Haaaa. It's from Dinosaur Comics. And I know it may not have worked in context, but as they say: it's the "In conclusion" that makes it art. Also, I'm more of a Hindu agnostic.
I was looking at my tagline and noting that I hadn't changed it in a long while. Although now I am wanting to change it to the punchline of today's comic: "Am I the only dude who truly wishes it were possible to clean a house with METAPHORS??"

I knew this, but it was easier to stop the explanation with "My friend is a Hindu, and says..."

I think you must, or I might steal that.
Done.
And what do you know, my tagline before the Hinduism one was also from T-Rex:
Dude! You're not allowed to lie to your own diary! A— Are you?
Plate of shrimp! (Check out Repo Man if you aren't familiar with that metaphor.) Anyway, maybe it's the zeitgeist, 'cause here's the most recent post in music:
Jon B.: Sparks have a new song called "Metaphor". You will love it. Someone saved me the trouble of posting a mp3: [link]
Chicks dig dig D-I-G dig dig metaphors!
If I use them wisely and use them well, I will never know the hell of loneliness?
Liars!
To kill without leaving the house, you have to have somebody

the house. Maybe you could murder FedEx people?
He could keep ordering pizza.

Think outside the box! You can mail death. You can launch death from turrets. You can radio-control death.
