If you could see Patti in one role of hers, what would you see?

Ben, I looked at this thread and didn't see where I was nominated. In any event I'm happy for Ahmelie to be today's celebrity, as I think I would have made a dreadful one. My contractual rider calls for bowls of green M&Ms (ONLY THE GREEN ONES!!!) in my dressing room, twice daily Evian water baths and cheeseburgers from "In and Out" (I don't care how far you have to fly them in and they better be hot!)
Also since I would have had my entire entourage posting here the site might have run out of bandwidth.
I see a red M&M. I'm out of here!

Well, the issue with you, is that you nominated yourself, so after that, you lost credibility, plus, you get to nominate only 1 person, and maybe people were afraid you'd nominate a 3rd screen name of yours.
Anyways, glad you had the courage to come out!

It's not an argue at all. Just a comment, not a biggie. No federal cases.

It was previosuly a qoute of (coincidentally) ahmelie's, but I had to put this in my sig before the Tonys. My old sig is in my profile though.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson
Hey! Sorry, just saw this. (Saturday mornings are not the best time to reach me)
Just wanted to let you know I'm here. I'll start answering in the next post (cuz there are a lot of them, and I don't want my title yanked from me while I'm answering)

What character from a play (musical or straight) do you most identify with? Why? Wow, hard question. I haven’t thought much about that too much… Maybe Diana from A Chorus Line? That'd make sense...
What's your favourit kind of food? Indian, or authentic Guatemalan food (I visited Guatemala for a week and I’ve never eaten so good in my life!)
In the same vein, what's your favourite flavour of ice cream? Choco-chip cookie dough.
If you could have anyone's vocal chords, who would you choose? (Very frankenstein, I know) Maria Callas or Carla Maffioletti’s.
What is a memorable thread/conversation you have participated in on BWW? Ha, the Vanessa Williams one, where we rumored that she’d be cast in various ridiculous roles, and then began to worship her as God. So sad those were deleted.
What do you like to do in the summer that you don't do during other seasons? Sit on my ass every once in a while.
Favorite drink? Diet Coke
When was the last time you did something and then thought "that was a complete waste of my life"? Not to sound like a total douche, but I don’t like to think of anything as waste, but as a learning opportunity.
But, if there was anything I had to answer with, I’d say go to church, I do it every Sunday and I’m not sure what the hell I’m getting out of it.

Take your time, ahmelie, I had no intention of letting anyone take your title.

5 least favorite musicals? Ack, this is hard because there’s not a lot of shows that I’ve actually gone and seen that I’ve just hated. I can always find the problems in a show but I can’t hate it but… In no particular order 1. Wicked 2. The Wedding Singer 3. The Phantom of the Opera 4. Cats 5. Wonderful Town (I thought to throw that one in would be interesting, I absolutely love Comden, Green, and Bernstein but that show just bores me)
5 favorite movies? 1. All About Eve 2. Sunset Boulevard 3. Jezebel 4. My Best Friend’s Wedding 5. Mommie Dearest
5 least favorite movies? 1. Date Movie 2. Jackass 3. Black Christmas 4. The Break-Up 5. Million Dollar Baby, it just bored me.
5 favorite books? In all honesty, I'm not much of a reader but...
1. Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles (I think that's the name, I haven't read it in ages though it was my favourite book as a child. And it was written by Julie Andrews, which is a plus.) 2. 1984 3. Death of a Salesman 4. Oleanna (I did a monologue from it a while ago, it was one of the hardest things I've ever done. It holds a special place in my heart...) 5. Macbeth
And, special for you:
Favorite Patti quote? This is from my favourite interveiw with her, ever. "Wait, I've got to know if that's a girl or a guy, " she says. She assesses two taut and tan women who look like tennis pros at the table behind us as transsexuals. "Holy ****ing ****!" LuPone says. "Maybe they're all transsexuals. My eyes are going like this, " she says, grabbing her glasses and zooming them in and out on the trannies. "I'm not even listening to you anymore, " she says before belting out another "Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Patti song? Right now, Anne’s Lament from To Hell and Back and Heatwave from… Heatwave
Patti show? Hm… I can’t pick one! Maybe Gypsy
