Brilliant. Can't wait to see what gets honored at the next Kennedy honors thing. Of course, the audience is down to, what, the six figures?
But I digress. My heartfelt thanks to Roy for this:
"I have to tell you, Mr. President, I’ve been watching you and you definitely do have some feminine characteristics."
Personally, I can make a case that Trump is our first woman POTUS. But, as I just showed, I cannot make it tastefully so, like, it's not ready for public view yet, probably never. Suffice to say, Fake Tubby is more Lady Macbeth than Macbeth.
Is there a song from Cats that could be changed to Dogs and sung by Kristi Noem in her cowgirl finery with a bedazzled shotgun? Or maybe something from Annie (Kristi) Get Your Gun? AGYG also offers the opportunity for Lone Skum to sing "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better" whilst prancing around the Resolute Desk with X AE A-XII on his shoulders.
The tickets won't sell, so they'll give them away to fill seats, or recruit people off of Craigslist and pay them. Your tax dollars at work. The BIGGEST crowd the Kennedy Center has EVER had, no one has filled the seats in all of history like Trump.
Annnnd SCENE! It's amazing to have such a long life that you grieved for RFK and wanted to hurl for RFK Jr. If he makes 'shrooms legal, that will at least be one thing that he did that was worth while. But you'll be high and wondering who'll break down the door, or if that skin rash is actually measles.
The guy who doesn’t know his favorite dance tune is a gay anthem will probably let them put on a musical version of “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” if he’s told it’s about a hungry caterpillar.
Yeah, me too. We were sitting in the Hirshhorn* waiting for our friends to show up and when he said that I was slightly shook loose from my sense of reality for a moment.
*the Osgemeos: 2 marks. They took over the whole 3rd floor and installed a dazzler of a show. DC should commission them to do a city-wide makeover.
I saw the original first, and loved it (celebration of weirdos? Count me in!) and then saw the musical which if I remember correctly muted a lot of the "fuck 'em If they can't take a joke" message.
Five-finger shoes? Omg. I'll never unsee those. If I'd magically been able to block one of Trump's abhorrent nominees it would have been RFKjr. He will cause untold harm. Words fail in the face of that looming catastrophe.
Trump's rampage into the Kennedy Center is a lesser tragedy, of course, but I'm sad about it, and don't understand why he's doing it. Doesn't seem as if he's been a patron or even given a shit about the Arts. Destruction for the sake of destruction? Can we please stop calling these Berserkers conservatives?

If you can't say anything tastefully, come sit by me.
Did you have to listen to "Mame" before you wrote the alternate lyrics or could you write the parody off the top of your head? You did a fine job!
Maybe Melanoma is more suited to "Sweet Charity"
Typecasting.
"only old and crippled people die" just ROCKS!
2 marks!
EEEEF goats could see me now, from Slo-ven-yah
They'd faint from FOMO, wow!

Are you referencing the Double Jerkoff? Has he trademarked that yet?
Good luck trademarking it, that move has been performed in the YMCA shower room for DECADES.
First Daughter and Top White House Advisor in Damn Yankees:
"Whatever Van-ky wants, Van-ky gets..."
Or Cats, since the old bastard loves “Memory”

Would Mrs. Vance be willing to perform "I'm an Indian Too," also from AGYG?
Lyrics are kinda perfect as they stand:
With my chief in his teepee
We'll raise an Indian family
And I'll be busy night and day
Looking like a flour sack
With two papooses on my back
And three papooses on the way
Hearted for "bedazzled shotgun"
Bedazzled Shotgun is opening at Branson this April
Beats a pair of gold-handled six-shooters any day.
perhaps 'I'm just a girl who can't say no' from Oklahoma. she's already dressed, as noted.
I LOVE that song/performance!
But you spelled "cain't" wrong.
He has no memory of that
101 Dalmatians. She’s already got Cruella’s hat.
Man, that's a lotta trips to the gravel pit.
OK, ok...Oof. Right there in black and white.
I wanna be Cosmo!
You knocked it outta the park —
No one here's left in the dark –
At least none without snark –
[C'mon, rfc – we need to get this lot INVOLVED here! This group lyricizing is HARD!]
The only part of this I don't believe implicitly is J.Voight walking out...
I still want to see the R.Schneider-J.Peterson Road Show.
Alas, Roy's scenario is far too entertaining for what's ahead. Kennedy Center productions will be, essentially, Trump rallies in formal dress.
Wondering who's going to be the *audience*, as I can't imagine the Life And Times Of Horst Wessel will play to anything but rows of empty seats.
Same people who attend rallies?
Not for the price of Kennedy Center tickets: which were over$35 for the cheapest nosebleed section when I looked, for a DC trip, in the 90s.
The tickets won't sell, so they'll give them away to fill seats, or recruit people off of Craigslist and pay them. Your tax dollars at work. The BIGGEST crowd the Kennedy Center has EVER had, no one has filled the seats in all of history like Trump.
This Show Business
Is doing no business
Pro tip:
Retire.
Get the KC Friday morning specials for half price.
Sit up in the nosebleeds.
Enjoy the best acoustical quality.
Get home in time for a nap.
This the RF Kennedy Jr. Center we're talkin' about?
Sondheim. Too fa--I mean too sophisticated for this crowd.
Roger Stone - Jordan Peterson fashion show
Aunty, Maimed. And she'll be a better (ie more subservient) person for it.
She sounds old, not hot.
When it comes to the maiming, I'd say he's more pro than anti.
I've been working on a Halloween costume of Auntie Maim for a few years now — someday I'll get it worked out and we'll use it.
Git 'er done!
We've been procrastinating due to the lack of going to Halloween events for the last 5 years. Someday!

Did you ever look at your pustules, I mean, really look at them?
Nooooo...but YOUR's are...disturbing...
Whatever did Jerry Herman do to you to deserve this??
Amazing. Eleventy jillion stars (out of four).
Whoa, whoa –
"The Aristocrats!"
Nah, they’re far too classy for that lot.
Boffo, no notes (except it's *Stephen Miller).
The guy who doesn’t know his favorite dance tune is a gay anthem will probably let them put on a musical version of “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” if he’s told it’s about a hungry caterpillar.
He won’t like the implication that on his head there’s a wig. But Stephen Miller performing a tender version of Wicked Little Town intrigues me.
what's that on your head
A WIG
Inchsquirm, inchsquirm, etc.

But Voight with standards? Wow. His videos for Trump were masterpieces of pretension and MAGA cult nonsense. But okay!
Well, he IS a professional. And a STAR!
Fun fact I learned today (having dropped a couple lines of yer opus on my pal the Perfesser):
Jon Voight was in the Perfesser's college fraternity. He had nought else to say on the matter.
!
Yeah, me too. We were sitting in the Hirshhorn* waiting for our friends to show up and when he said that I was slightly shook loose from my sense of reality for a moment.
*the Osgemeos: 2 marks. They took over the whole 3rd floor and installed a dazzler of a show. DC should commission them to do a city-wide makeover.
Well, "Mame" the musical is a flaming dumpster and an affront to the original, so this all scans.
(EDIT: "Mame" is the one with Lucille Ball, right? God, I can't remember.)
(Yes, it is.)
Never seen it, despite my well-known love of American musical comedy. Somehow I just knew to stay away.
Misbegotten movie casting was a big tipoff. Perhaps some leading ladies up to the job made it work on Bwy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mame_(musical)
I saw the original first, and loved it (celebration of weirdos? Count me in!) and then saw the musical which if I remember correctly muted a lot of the "fuck 'em If they can't take a joke" message.
Sounds very Curse of the Remake (or adaptation).
Yeah, I consider Lucille Ball a deadweight in the role, but then again neither Spouse nor I can stand her in *anything*.
The Wiki is ON it!
"Rosalind Russell didn’t want the role, Mary Martin backed out after her initial acceptance, and Ethel Merman declined. The producers “heard from—or considered…Eve Arden, Lauren Bacall, Lucille Ball, Kaye Ballard, Constance Bennett, Georgia Brown, Kitty Carlisle, Barbara Cook, Bette Davis, Doris Day, Olivia de Havilland, Phyllis Diller, Irene Dunne, Nanette Fabray, Arlene Francis, Judy Garland, Greer Garson, Mitzi Gaynor, Dolores Gray, Tammy Grimes, Julie Harris, Susan Hayward, Katharine Hepburn, Lena Horne, Lisa Kirk, Margaret Leighton, Beatrice Lillie, Gisele MacKenzie, Jane Morgan, Patrice Munsel, Geraldine Page, Ginger Rogers, Dinah Shore, Simone Signoret, Maggie Smith, Elaine Stritch—and…Angela Lansbury," who was eventually cast.”[3]

TAMMY GRIMES!!!!
You know, just one of those roles that can be played by either Katharine Hepburn or Lena Horne.
or Beatrice Lillie...!!!
Five-finger shoes? Omg. I'll never unsee those. If I'd magically been able to block one of Trump's abhorrent nominees it would have been RFKjr. He will cause untold harm. Words fail in the face of that looming catastrophe.

RFK Jr. as Norma Desmond in the Kennedy Center production of Sunset Boulevard:
"I am big [flexes biceps), it's the pox that got small!"
Soon to be renamed Pox Americana. Google, take note.
Let me be the first to oof this.
My work here is done.
2 (pock) marks!
Good one today Roy.
Easy there bo – don't overdo it...
Got some strong PTSD these days - definitely don't need to be overdoing anything. Thank you brother.
Carry on, carry on...
