Hurrah!
Indeed. In honor of the Buffistas I think we'll name it The Zeppo.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I'm trying to decide what to make for party on Saturday.
Food, yes. I want it to be very grazing type foods. I'm trying to decide if brisket or pulled pork that people can make little sandwiches of would be a good idea.

Going back to the Superstar talk:
I was an usher for that show--at the Chicago Theatre, right? It also had Dennis DeYoung (from Styx) as Pontius Pilate. Neely couldn't quite hit the high notes even then; I hate to think what he sounds like now.
I worked on the booking of that tour.
The tour I'm talking about was mostly playing University towns and similar size venues. It was a 1-2 truck show playing 1-2 night stands, so probably a little smaller scale than what you saw.
I think I worked on the booking of that one too.
We did an Equity tour and a Non-Equity tour and, IIRC, a "you got an 8 by 10 space we can all squeeze into?" tour.
At some point, I think Neely got so used to playing Jesus, he became Jesus 24/7. When I met him in NYC, I thought he was going to give me a benediction.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The funniest part was when I returned home and told my friend Robyn and she was like "Travis Hafner?? But he's hitting like .340!" or something. And I was like "he struck out that night."
Oh, I didn't know it was an actual designated hitter.
Well, you don't really want a guy nicknamed "Pronk" on your resume anyway.

“Not dead yet!”
Yes, as I told a drunk Cleveland Indian who was hitting on me at the Hilton in Anaheim a few years back: "I don't do married, I don't do American League and I sure as hell don't do designated hitters."
What a douchenozzle.
Also? java is made of total and complete win.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Heh. I was going to suggest the Buffistamobile.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And I was like "he struck out that night."
Poor professional athlete. It rends the heart.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And I was like "he struck out that night."
At least the once....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
And I was like "he struck out that night."
ba-dum-BUM. java, you're like an action hero, with the one-liners and the awesome!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
More than once, apparently.
I am 100 percent behind THE ZEPPO.
