Let's also note the lyrics to "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee."
"Keep that pelvis far from me" indeed.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's at least a "family friendly" message!
Edit: that line taken literally, not the song, of course.

Because nothing says "family" like the lyrics to "Greased Lightning".
It's why I always snicker when the family-friendly theatres get all excited about putting on "Grease".

“Not dead yet!”
Grease was actually really fabulous from that standpoint. When I first saw the movie, I was eleven and I loved the costumes and the fun, fifties-style music and a great deal of the sexual innuendo went straight over my head. Four years later, I was in the show and was like, "Who the HELL let me go see this when I was eleven?"
Gotta love the perspectives.

lisah, you are a trip. Actually, the ones I posted were all pretty much ones not really on the list (like the one with the scaryass bathroom and kitchen on Falls. No way would I want to live right on that street. And that poor house had been abused and neglected.)

This Gawker post about the NYTimes article about high schools not being ready for Rent (even an edited version) also links to an article about Grease: [link]

FAQWife is out of town this weekend for a conference, so I plan to enjoy my birthday at home by running around in my underwear, scratching myself and getting drunk.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Have people heard about this?
Utah State Sen. Compares Gays To Alcoholics, Terrorists: ‘They’re The Greatest Threat To America’»
It has a happy ending:
Utah state senator to lose his committee chairmanship after homophobic diatribe.»
But I initially missed this lil' quote of his:
Utah state senator Chris Buttars (R), who called gay people “the greatest threat to America going down,”
Heh. Because there's nothing worse than when America goes down, only to discover it's going down on a gay....

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Mom didn't seem to mind at all when I asked her 'what does "the chicks'll cream" mean?' In fact she seemed to enjoy the way I squirmed as she explained it was a shortening of the expression "to cream one's jeans".

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
When I was in high school, my youth theater group did Grease. The plan that year was for the teenagers to do Grease and the little kids to do Oliver, but the little kids begged so much that they decided that they could do Grease too, in a heavily edited version. The editing wasn't quite as careful as the director thought, though, and during the first read through, the nine-year-old playing Rizzo read, "Everybody out! What do you think this is, a gang bang?" And then asked what "gang bang" meant. The director very quickly collected everyone's scripts and changed that to "party."
