I Don't Want To Grow Up

Spell The Word, B E E

I had the privilege of seeing "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" at the National Theatre this past Tuesday. I have to say, what a fun show.

I'm sure you all have heard of this show, but for those who haven't, it's a very funny parody of local spelling bees. The show includes many a funny one liners, some improv, and also incorporates a lot of current topics including comic references to lead paint in China and J K Rawlings' Dumbledore is gay revelation. They also bring preselected volunteers onstage who actually have to spell words to stay onstage.

Now, here's the bad part. Man, that National Theatre was not meant for the big or tall man. The seats are so small and the rows are so close together. I'm not all that tall, but my legs were pressed up against the row in front of me. Luckily, there was no one sitting in the seats in front of me and the seat next to me was empty, so I could stretch out.

So, in conclusion, I'd like to say, if you're looking for a fun evening with a fun show, head on over and check it out. It's playing there through Nov. 4th. Go see it now! That's N - O - W!

A Classic Treat For You

Carvel Halloween Commercial

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream, For. . . ?

As I sit here typing this post, I happen to be enjoying a big ol' bowl of ice cream. You're probably asking, "Why are you telling us this Antonio?" Well I'll tell you.

So the other day, I happened to go to a Bloom supermarket. It just so happened that the store was celebrating it's "birthday". They were having an all day birthday celebration which included cake, door prizes, and grab bags. Well, I finished my shopping and headed for the register to pay for my stuff. While I stood in line, an announcement came over the loudspeaker. "Attention Bloom shoppers! We have our next birthday celebration winner! The gentleman on register five! Congratulations!" I only half payed attention to the announcement. I was too busy watching the cashier ringing up my groceries. Then it occurred to me, "Which register am I standing at anyway?" Just as I looked up and notice the number five above my register, a group of employees surrounded me cheering and congratulating me. Then the manager came up and told me I had won a prize of a half-gallon of ice cream. He asked me what flavor I liked, and then went off to go get it for me. And readers, this wasn't some store brand ice cream. He brought me some Bryers. You know, the good s#!+.

Mmmmm! Mmmmmmm! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Oh, sorry! I was just enjoying my ice cream. Gotta go!

And, The Winner Is. . .

Invasion Of The Gays

Today's post was unwittingly submitted by Sucka. It's a website that he came across while researching gay history facts. I think it's pretty funny. Check it out. The Gay Agenda!


Only three days left to win the prize!

Hissll-Ah Hissll-Ahhhh!

*Warning*
Some readers (mainly parents of younger children) may find today's post a little disturbing.

Yesterday, a comment that Jim wrote reminded me of a game we use to play as kids in the neighborhood I grew up in. This game was called "Hide And Seek, Go Get It!"

Just like the traditional game, someone would be "it" and everyone else would hide. Here's where the game takes a turn. The "it" was actually the boys, and the girls would hide. The boys would count, of course, and then "seek" the girls.

Once you found a girl. . . well. . ., you would have what we thought of as "sex". Back then, we were too young to know what sex was, so this "sex" involved rubbing up against the girl and making a noise which sounded like hissll-ah hissll-ahh (that first word sounds like the sound you would make if you touch something very hot). Then we would switch and the girls would be "it" and we would hide.

Well, that was a long time ago. And every time I think of that game, it makes me laugh because of that sound we used to make. It wasn't until years later that I got to experience what that sound really meant. The scary thing is that nowadays, I think the kids would actually know what to do once they were found.

BTW, five more days left in the contest!

I'M KING OF THE PARKING LOT!

On the way home the other day, I stopped at the Giant near my house. In the parking lot was one of those traveling amusement companies. I haven't been to one of those since I was a kid. I know they are probably safe but they creep me out a little. But that's not what I'm blogging about today.

I'm blogging about what caught my eye amongst the rides. I've seen one of these before, but never thought twice about it until today. It's the Inflated Titanic Slide. Yup, it's a balloon bounce replica of the Titanic that you climb up and slide down. Wow. . . How soon before we start seeing the World Trade Center Free Fall Tower.


Also, at work the other day, I was in a conversation about camp songs. Well, I happened to be looking up the lyrics to an old camp song on the web, when I came across the Titanic Song which I had never heard of. Hear is a sample of the lyrics:

Chorus
-It was sad, so sad
-It was sad, too bad
-It was sad when the great ship went down to the bottom of the sea
-Uncles and aunts little children lost their parents
-It was sad when the great ship went down, down, down.
-Kerplunk, it sunk to the bottom of the sea

All I have to say is, "Wow."

Hey, Did You Know. . .

. . . that October is Gay and Lesbian History Month. . . Neither did I.
