I need to remember to post some things
Nov. 8th, 2022 01:47 pmThere are various works, amusing and otherwise, that I want to have resident here, so this post is a reminder to post them. I'll make the links below live when I have done so.
That Musical Pastiche Thingy for Neil's Party
This was because Mike wrote a goofy little play based on a typo in the invitation to Neil's Guy Fawkes Day party, and then all heck and amusement broke loose. Mike's was Guys and Dolls, and it's gorgeous. We sang it through at the party. Mine was from various corners of Gilbert and Sullivan, and contained a version of that "Apprenticed to a Pirate" song (which instead of confusing pilot with pirate, confused magicians with munitions) that contained the lines
"... they feared his flubs would bury 'em
He blew up three of the faculty
And the brand new school aquarium"
.. because of course we had to get the fishies in there due to the barrels of herring. (Mike did a thing where "they tried to blow up Parliament with gunpowder disguised as barrels of herring" where his characters tried to blow up Parliament with gunpowder, disguised as barrels of herring, and I can assure you they were fetching in those barrel costumes. Fetching what is another question entirely.)
More will be added as needed.
Well, more or less. One must leave certain options open.
