At the very least we'll likely become dopplegangers.

Okay, so adding to list of odd coincedences a more than casual interest in Batman and this is getting strange.

I am going to list a few other things I've obsessed about over the years and see if we can break the strand:

-Atlanta Braves
-Buffy the Vampire Slayer
-Los Angeles Lakers
- (guilty pleasure) professional wrestling, but just for the absurd soap opera story lines.
-Aaron McGruder's Boondocks comic
-U2, REM and DMB?

You list some...

Yay no LA Lakers for me, of course I moved to NYC and we have the Knicks.

for about 10 years there I could tell you every player on the Braves, their stats, and everything about their careers.
I'm insanely into Buffy now, wasn't when it was on now.

have to add a tendency to obsess over the things we enjoy to the list!

ooh I think I have one we won't share
Robert Allen Zimmerman, I own every studio album (countless others *cough*) and had a period in which I listened to nothing else. Now hopefully you don't even know who that is. Straight men for Norbert's Butz!

I had a feeling that the Knicks/Lakers thing would come up. Even Dopplegangers have their slight difference.

Of course I know that Robert Allen Zimmerman is Bob Dylan. I have to admit, I am not a huge fan. I don't dislike him, just never got into him.

Finally, we have enough differences that we can save our money on that DNA test. Straight men for Norbert's Butz!

We've been chatting in private messages as well and we've discovered we grew up relatively close to each other and even attended to the same very difficult to get into Honors Program in 1996.

Although, *I* was there for theatre and SP78 was there for an academic subject. ::he said in a very dramatic way:: (I learned that at the Hornor program - lol)

I also loved Buffy from Day 1. Was very bummed when it went off the air. Had the pleasure of sitting near Sarah Michelle Gellar at a performance of Rent in LA and she was very nice and friendly.

I wonder if Freddie Prinze would like Norbert's Butz?

There was this girl in college who was a little off and obsessed with me, she moved out west, figured she may have developed a way to clone the penguin, you know.

Yep I figured you'd know who he was, but I was hoping for total disconect.
I used to feel that way Pinguin, but as I get older its not having enough people around who share my quirks that is more unsettling. Straight men for Norbert's Butz!

Well guys and gals - it's WAY past my usual bedtime. I just get caught up talking to two gen-u-wine Broadway legends.

Did you see me flutter my eye lashes O'Hara style in your heads when you read that?

See - it's so late I am becoming delirious.
#2288

Straight men for Norbert's Butz!

I outlast the pats and pins, excellent.

oh and thanks pin, a little Hirsch/sp colaboration.

I'm still Here!

Hey Norb thread, I guess its back to Norb talk for you!

I just noticed the new subject title. lol

You guys should hang out when Stephen comes to NYC. Bruce Glikas should be there to document it for broadway.com! Straight men from all over the city will follow you guys and not be ashamed that they too have man crushes on Norbert. It'll be great!

Awesome! We can be the Pied Piper leading heterosexual men to acknowledge their love for Norbootay.

I feel like being chatty and talking about my obsessions too!

Did Patronus mention Batman? LOL I'm not a regular reader of the comic b/c it's kinda hard to keep up but I do love Batman. Also loved the animated series of the 1990s. :) My brother got me reading comics. I love the art form but need to read more comics. Right now I'm more into Spider-Man and some of the independent titles.

I watched Buffy in its beginning seasons, then lost track. But I did see Buffy: the Musical, which was weird. I loved the X-Files when it was on. I'm not watching much tv anymore, except Gilmore Girls, Everwood and Rescue Me. Plus my guilty pleasure reality tv shows. Oh and Lost, mainly b/c I am obsessed with Dominic Monaghan, thanks intially to LOTR.

As far as sports go, I used to watch baseball but now I can't seem to sit through a game. My mind wanders. Maybe Norbert isn't the only one with ADD. I watch hockey, figure skating and college basketball instead. :)

I'm a baseball girl, too! The Yankees! But I haven't been watching them that much lately b/c it's hard to be a complete Bway fan and a sports nut at the same time but I'll be back in my obsessive baseball state if the Yankees make the playoffs. You should see me when I'm at a game or watching one, lol. I basically turn into a middle-aged man with anger issues.

I'm feeling like Alejandra & I and SP & Patronus have had a freaky friday switch or something b/c the we love the sports and you guys can't stop talking about Norbert's @$$. LOL

broadway betty: I know what you mean about balancing your obsessions. :) Although I always made an effort to see shows (on tour), I haven't been a diehard fan of current Broadway all that long...about a year? So this has been so much fun. And Norbert was/is my first and most favorite.

During the hockey and basketball seasons, everything else seems to be secondary. I try to go to games as much as possible. If I'm watching sports and someone calls, I won't answer. LOL. Oh and I can be very superstitious. I watched games on the same tv and ate the same pre-game meals, like I was part of a team. *sigh* , the crazy things fans do. Straight men for Norbert's Butz!

My interest in Broadway is a constant but other things obsessions go in waves. I was really into Star Wars (again) in May, for example, b/c of the new movie. I had to watch ALL of them again.

#2295

Straight men for Norbert's Butz!

I'm not that superstitious but I do wear my Yankee jersey or t-shirt and my cap when I watch the playoffs or games against the Red Sux. And I wear my rally cap(cap turned inside out for all you non-sports fans) when we(the Yankees, lol) need it.

It's really funny when the worlds cross. I have actually watched baseball games while singing The Light in the Piazza then I stop to grunt or curse when someone strikes out or drops the ball then I go back to trying to sing like Kelli O'Hara. lol It's quite a sight!

Straight men for Norbert's Butz!

Hey broadway betty: speaking of Piazza and baseball, isn't Matt Morrison a Mets fan? Maybe I'm imagining it.

This does remind me, however, that when I was very young (mid-late 80s) we used to be Mets and Braves fans. *ducks* The Braves mostly b/c they're here down South. LOL. Then in the early 90s, for a season or two I got interested in the Toronto Blue Jays b/c Paul Molitor (whom I thought was hot, in addition to being classy) was on the team.

#2298

Straight men for Norbert's Butz!

Yeah, I am just going to let that Betty is a Yankees fan slide. No body is perfect. lol

I actually have a Yankee Hater baseball cap. It has the NY logo made into a HY and it has little horns and a tail. Straight men for Norbert's Butz!

Straight men for Norbert's Butz!

I forgot to show my GG love! Been watching it since day 1, it's my favorite show for sure. Marty is my fave guy. I loved him even b/f I knew he was a theatre guy and could sing. I don't see Trailer Park until Saturday but I've read a couple BWW reviews and they say that Wayne's character is like a crazy angry boyfriend trying to get his girl back. I can't imagine my sweet Marty being angry at all. lol I also heard he sings a duet with Shuler Hensley.

Let's play 6 degrees of Norbert. Norbert was the original Jamie in L5Y. Wayne Wilcox played Jamie in Philly. Wayne co-stars with Shuler Hensley(whose character is named Norbert) in Trailer Park. Shuler beat Norbert for the Tony with his performance in Oklahoma! Not exactly 6 but it's still interesting.

Alejandra: Yes, Matt is a Mets fan. He was wearing a Mets cap after I saw Piazza for the first time(the pic is in fanphotos). He was also at the Mets game that Victoria sang the national anthem for wearing his jersey and cap.

Patronus: I'm a NY girl and I love the Yankees, so :p!! My grandpa was getting ready to watch game 1 of the subway world series and nothing else was on TV that night no I decided to watch it with him. Andy Pettite started that game and I fell in love with him in a NY second. I was hooked instantly. Watched every pitch of that series and actually wanted them to lose so there could be more games. I went into such a deep depression after the series ended eventhough they won.

Funny thing. First time I saw DRS, I was at the stage door and I was like "Yay Norbert! You're a Yankee fan!" Because he was wearing a Yankee cap and he was like "Actually, I'm a Cardinals fan." That makes sense. lol

That makes sense, he did go to Webster University in St. Louis.

In fact, when I was doing my tour of colleges for theatre I visited Webster and one of my guides with Jim Butz. Norbert's little brother. I had no idea at the time, but remembered a couple of years later.
