After 4 years of earnest -- and yes, even sometimes borderline plodding -- sincerity about pretty much the same 15 topics (I think "Undercutting" might be new, though), I admit I'm finding the recent liveliness on this board rather refreshing. So in the spirit of spangly tape and fake fur accessories, I'm thinking it might be time to take this to another level.
Springer, anyone?
(What can I say? I'm a prurient sort. I was at IU when The Chair was threw.)

Only if in the same show, Jerry has a "Stupid human tricks" segment with the chick who blows flames out the end of her whistle. Maybe she can set Michael Flatley's feet on flames with it.

Growing up in Cincinnati, the two scandals of local boys gone bad were Jerry Springer and Pete Rose. While one still holds out hope of someday getting inducted into Cooperstown, Jerry Springer ran for Governor, lost, and then got himself a TV show.meemtp wrote:I believe he was also caught in a brothel while either mayor or campaigning. I'm sure it was just another stop on the campaign trail...speech etc.
In Springer's case, he went across the river to Kentucky where he paid a prostitute with a personal check. At the time he was just a city council member, although later he was elected mayor.
You got to love the nasty 'nati.
I never knew that!!

What for the Opera... can they sing?
Wait a minute, an Opera! I can see the plot already...
It's set in a session in a small bar in a mean city. The elder players, set in their ways and always playing the same tunes, are at odds with the 'young guns' with their triple tonguing and quick fire rolls on C nat.
It will all have to happen indoors as flute players are not allowed out due to bird flu. (This also saves money on the set)
There are other factions as well the Rudalls and the Prattens, the Glottals and the Tonguers and worst of all the Linseed Oilers who hate the Almond Guys. These in turn are riven by other divisions, lined or unlined, keyed or not.
In the midst of this hells brew of dissention and suspicion, unexpectedly, love blossoms.
As it's an Opera it ends miserably with the young lovers being beaten to death by a drunken Bodhran player in the pay of the Boehm gang.
But in a transformation scene we see them joyfully meet their maker (The great Olwell).
The curtain drops to the plaintive air "My barrel's cracked and I've no superglue to hand"
Sigh, not a dry eye in the house
