Going to go see Company on Broadway tonight

I would love to see a professional production of this. We did this in high school when I was in 10th grade. Our PA department was pretty good compared to other high school productions I have seen since - but still. It was the first show I worked as part of the crew.

but one boy insisting that Fibonacci was cooler because anyone Italian is automatically cooler than anyone French.

This sounds like someone who needs to be shown footage of Catherine Deneuve and Roberto Benigni.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now I'm wondering what The Hunger would have been like with Benigni in Bowie's role....

$3,700 (Australian) pizza: [link]

The 30.5-cm pizza features an organic base spread with a sunblush tomato sauce. Other toppings include Scottish smoked salmon and medallions of venison.

The creation is finished off with edible 24-carat gold shavings.

The money will go to charity.

Now I'm wondering - if you consume gold shavings (like, say, Goldschlager), will your poop be all golden sparkley?

Best new story EVAR:

BOISE, Idaho - Two employees of the city's ice skating rink have been fired for making a midnight fast-food run in a pair of Zambonis. An anonymous tipster reported seeing the two big ice-resurfacing machines chug through a Burger King drive-through and return to the rink around 12:30 a.m. on Nov. 10. The squat, rubber-tired vehicles, which have a top speed of about 5 mph, drove 1 1/2 miles in all.

The Zamboni operators, both temporary city employees whose names and ages were not released by the Parks and Recreation Department, had to negotiate at least one intersection with a traffic light on their late-night creep from Idaho Ice World.

"They were fired immediately," said Parks Department Director Jim Hall. "We're pretty sure it was just the one time. When we interviewed them, they didn't seem to be too concerned about it. I don't think they understood the seriousness of it."

brillig

I love that story. Just the image of them saying "Let's take the Zambonis out!" and then trundling through the drive-through makes me very happy.

I wonder how many people saw it and laughed instead.

If I had seen that, I think I'd have been ROTFLMAO....

Having stood on the sidewalk watching a Nike Goalie drive his zamboni up to GM Place, I'm not seeing the horribleness of the offense either. Unless the guys didn't have driver's licenses...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There's a production of Company on Broadway?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Does it frell up the Zambonis?
