    Good shows, all! I came thisclose to going into theater as a profession instead of IT and software. I still do community theater when I get the chance.

      I do ameteur comedy. I fell asleep during les Mis. I LOVED Cats though; but I always a cat lover and knew the songs becuase I had read the T.S. Elliot poems.

        Mike - typical white guy. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

            Oh, that's funny! I've been a musician/assistant musical director on one production of West Side Story and a musician on another, but my major in college was theater with an emphasis in lighting design :)

              That's what would be expected from someone who's normal. Look at Chris, he works his tuckus off on the site and though he's the co-founder of CP, he doesn't prance around thinking he's better than others.

                I think the most casual examination of events in the world would suggest that God doesn't interfere with evil. A belief in God doesn't require one abandon common sense and expect special protection.

                    I'm sure there must be -20 manpoints for knowing show tune lyrics, -10 additional for knowing them well enough to quote them in appropriate circumstances. Before anyone notes that I knew them, too - I'm a girl. I'm exempt from show tune deductions. Trish

                    It's up to the female representatives here to come up with their own system of points. The reason I didn't deduct man-points from him already is because I didn't know that was a show tune. If I had known, I would have had man-points deducted simply for knowing it (and demonstrating that knowledge). Thank for for pointing out the unmanly aspects of his post, and I hereby authorize the deduction.

                              Mine, too although I ended up as a Production Manager as often as LD. I was working with a guy by the name of David Hersey when we got a grant to get a computer to run our light board. David and I both glommed onto computers bigtime, but he kept using them in his Lighting - so he went on to design Cats, Les Mis, and a bunch of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals. I decided I wanted to tell stories with the computer so I ended up doing games. (Back when computer games were about solving puzzles not seeing how fast you could click the fire button.)

                                  Both good points: the former is amusing the latter is scary!

                                    A belief in a god is, by definition, an abandonment of common sense.

                                    Exactly my point. The evidence suggests that God is either indifferent or perversely cruel.

                                      I think that's mostly because the act of "prancing" would call for a deduction of 75% off his man-points.

                                      Only 75%??? I figure it would automatically go to zero points :laugh:

                                        It not a good start for a staff member to have their post declared "Message Automatically Removed". His wings may have now been clipped. Lesson learned ????

                                        I agree, that is not good.

                                          I think the most casual examination of events in the world would suggest that God doesn't interfere with evil. A belief in God doesn't require one abandon common sense and expect special protection.
