I'm getting ready to head out on tour on Friday, and as usual I have a zillion things to do before I get on the plane. But I feel guilty about not posting.
To assuage that guilt, here's some wonderful writing on the topic of guys. If you're a single woman, or remember what it's like to be a single woman, or want to be reminded just why you never ever ever ever want to be a single woman again ... this is some funny, funny stuff. It's written in the form of a conversation between two of my favourite writers ... Sarah D. Bunting (aka Sars) and Linda Holmes (aka Miss Alli) ... give them a minute or so to warm to the topic, then you'll be laughing at each new GUY.
Sars rules, guys drool. ;)

Good luck PapaNilbo!

No no no, 'Manda, never say "good luck" to a performer.
You have to say shit like "break a leg" or "hope your dick falls off" - stuff like that.
(Oh, and the That Guys discussion - classic, just classic)

Actually, "Break a leg" isn't used in the theatre, contrary to what Hollywood tells us. The wish for good luck is: "Merde" ... which is French for "shit".
I have no idea why ....

Merde? Come on, Nilbo, you're shitting us, right?
Oh, and if something comes for you, from me, while you're gone, instruct your family to freeze (at least a few of) them for you. Mmmkay?

Umm, actually, "break a leg" is still used in the the-a-tuh, though far less frequently now as the old guard dies off.
Personally, I lean toward "have a good show" now, but am contemplating changing to "give 'er!"

I bow to Davey's encyclopaedic knowledge of all things theatuh. But I think he's full of merde.

While on tour: "Give 'er!"
(I merde you not.)
Posted by: Davey | September 22, 2005 at 08:02 AM
Merde, Nilbo!

Man, we need to have the party over here while Nilbo's gone. I'm sure he won't mind if the chandelier is slightly damaged when he gets home.

We should talk about him too. (g)
;))))))))))

It seems Nilbo is the life of the party

Nilbo. Helloooooo. Your daughter is SO talented! We've been enjoying the CD all day. I'm starting your book tonight. Thankyou! :D

Sending you a big pile of merde, in a piping hot bag on your doorstep, Nilbo.
