This is really interesting--the Tribune stage critic puts out a plea for someone to revive the original version of Grease, the one that was first shown in Chicago before it was transformed for Broadway. Apparently, it was "3/4 book and 1/4 musical," which was reversed for the Broadway production, as well as being the equivalent of rated-R.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

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

Stewart and Maddow should get gay-married and have lots of babies.

Hivemind: My DH and I were set to buy a painting from an artist who sent us three options. While we were debating, the artist sent us an "oops!" email and said the price of one has been publicly listed at over $500 more than he originally quoted. Of course, it's our favorite. Are there issues with him selling at a price lower than publicly listed that we don't know about? For example, if it's in a gallery (I don't know that it is) is he bound to the public price?
Normally, I'd just assume he was trying to squeeze us for more money, but I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

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

Always Anti-fascist!
Obama is also a very passionate Wire fan, as Gus claimed to be often. Well played, Senator!

Sparky, if it was in a gallery, I would assume the artist would have to pay a commission based on the listed price of the piece.
