Hmmm.

I'm compelled to say Max Bialystock, if only for the fact that he's a rich, cranky Jew. I'm all of that now....except the rich part. Someday.

Some questions for you:

If you could reproduce one flop, which would it be?

How would you improve upon it?

Are you a traveler?

[Yankeefan007]

Posted: 6/15/07 at 10:27pm

Hmm....I'd put on a revival of High Fidelity, one of the only shows that I actually think wasn't as bad as the critics said. You'd have to rewrite Abaire's book, of course.

I travel all over. I love it.

What is a memorable thread/conversation you have participated in on BWW?
I love any thread where I can debate and defend shows I love and hate. It's too hard to remember specific threads, but a lot, of late, comes up about Spring Awakening.

What do you like to do in the summer that you don't do during other seasons?
Sit by the pool and stare into space.

Favorite drink?
Orange juice or ginger ale.

When was the last time you did something and then thought "that was a complete waste of my life"?
Easily, Monday, at the internship that was a complete waste of time (which I no longer partake in, because of that)

Something interesting you did over the weekend:
ask me again on Sunday night, 'cause last weekend wasn't very interesting.

Whoever is named CotD on Friday gets the honor for the whole weekend ljay. Yankee has the crown till Monday at 10:00am.

So keep asking questions!!

Yankee, is your screen name b/c you love the baseball team or the musical Damn Yankees, or niether?

[Yankeefan007]

Posted: 6/16/07 at 10:23pm

Neither. I'm really a fan of the Mets (though I respect the Yankees very highly). Metfan was taken when I came to the board, I believe.

[RENTingFAME]

Posted: 6/17/07 at 2:40am

I don't know if I'll be around tomorrow because I'm going downtown and then I have rehearsal. So I'll ask again now and you can answer it later...

What was the most interesting thing you did this weekend?

[Yankeefan007]

I watched the most bizarre movie ever made: Apocalypto. Watched it on Shabbos, just to get Mel upset.

Btw, I liked Appocalypto.
