I hate practical jokes too, or at least most of them. Certain kinds of joke that are more theater than classic practical joke I don't mind. For example, I once saw a clip from Candid Camera where someone was told that a butcher shop had the freshest beef in town. So the customer enters the butcher shop and the butcher brings out a live cow with cuts of meat stenciled in appropriate places on its body. I think the customers was Tim Conway, who instantly guessed he was on Candid Camera. Now that I think about it that was more performance art than a classic practical joke . Most practical jokes have a victim...
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

So my beloved ex-supervisor saw Hamilton Saturday night. Family&friends tickets, orchestra seats. Turns out, they know the director. Got to go backstage and meet the cast, including LMM. Lucky, huh?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I now feel like everyone in the world is at most two degrees from that show.
Took the stupid subway, made it to the train. Now for an adventure!

Good to hear. It would have been depressing to have it upheld. I mean everybody knew what that law was trying to do and just didn't say it because it would be unconstitutional. It would suck to have a something like that upheld.
