Ya know, I’ve always loved the show Fiddler on the Roof.  I’m actually pretty bummed that I couldn’t audition for GLT’s summer production of it this year.  But I’m sure the show will be great.  Especially with this article as character research.  This guy was so drunk that he did not notice the 6 inch blade stuck between his shoulder blades.  Not only is that seriously hard core… that is testimony to the power of vodka, eh?  Keeps you warm, gives you super powers!  I love it!

I guess I know what I’m doing the next time it looks like I’m gonna get in a knife fight! 

La Chaim! 

I grew up Catholic.  So the fact that the fake Pope is here (I am unable and unwilling to recognize any Pope who is not John Paul II) is mildly interesting.  Of course, even more mildly interesting is the deep and meaningful exchange of words President Bush shared with this historic religious leader at the close of his landmark speech (the first on US soil): "Thank you your holiness.  Awesome speech."

"Awesome speech." 

Brings a tear to the eye.
