I'm learning from them and I'm sure the theatre "newbies" are getting a little theatre history lesson as well. I find them very informative.

That's the WHOLE intent of Paradox and myself.

To be informative--but in a fun and entertaining manner.

And Jose',

I have a question for you:


Where did YOU originate???


As I have stated REPEATEDLY, you have YOUR OWN boring Broadway Puzzlers on the Main Board--to which you post five- and six-multi part questions--AND then never return to post the correct answer.


Trivial Pursuits are meant to be ENJOYED--not to be TAKEN OVER by a certain Quizmaster--who updates the "weekly" Quiz every four weeks or so.

If I may, Jose'--please stick to what you do BEST--getting in the way of other people's enjoyment and spoiling their fun.

THAT, Jose', is obbiously your true calling in life.


So, PLEASE, Jose', for the UMTEENTH time--leave Trivial Pursuits alone. Please play with YOUR OWN toys in the future.


And we, on the Off-Topic Board, heartily Thank You.

M_E I like how your question was about The Man of La Mancha, the book is celebrating its 400th anniversary of being published this year. Just read an article about this week for my Spanish Class. The Biblioteca Nacional de Espana, is haveing a huge celebration this year featuring the Biography of a book Don Quijote de La Mancha

Maria: Why must they always fight?

Anita: Well you saw how they danced like they've gotta get rid of something quick. That's how they fight.

Maria: To get rid of what?

Anita: Too much.."feeling".

Thanks for being influenced by yesterday's The Broadway Puzzler #120, and its topic, MAN OF LA MANCHA.

Here you go folks...

What is the name of the man of La Mancha?

[Mary_Ethel]

Posted: 4/15/05 at 10:49pm

***YAAAAAAWN***

Alonso Quijanna.


Happy now, Jose'?


YEAH, like I have the time to go read one of your freakin' Broadway Puzzlers--you're being awful ASSUMPTIVE there, My Friend...

Psst...M_E, I don't know if you were playing dumb, but I think that Marquise was making reference to your and Jose's bickering on here.

Posted: 4/15/05 at 10:53pm

MOI, Tiff?

Bicker?


NO, as they sing in TENDERLOIN, its just "Good Clean Fun"

What is the reason the orchestra in MOLM was divided in two?

[Mary_Ethel]

Posted: 4/15/05 at 10:56pm

Because the ANTA Washington Square Theatre Had No Orchestra Pit--so they were FORCED to put the Orchestra on stage--and decided to put 1/2 on each side--to achieve a somewhat "sterophonic effect".


BTW, what are we trying to prove here?

[Type_A_Tiff]

I think this is the gay man's equivalent to a macho fist fight.


(Or is that what we call Hugh Grant and Colin Firth's double-dose of bitch slapping in the Bridget Jones films?)

Well, Miss Tiff of the Rockies (Do They Have Rockies in Vancouver?)--this-"WHATEVER it is" is OVER.


It takes TWO to participate in such a rumpus--and I am graciously exiting--stage door left.

MahemE,

The judges have ruled that your answer is not entirely correct.

A clue to the correct answer can be found a little earlier int he thread.

Good Luck!

M_E - Don't go now, the popcorn just came out of the microwave. **munch, munch** The plot of this show has so much possibility. Now, go to your corners, take a deep breath and come out swinging!

Mr. Mary_Ethel, I knew you Texans were a...patriotic sort, but surely you know your Canadian geography better than that! Of course Vancouver has the Rockies! B.C. is the Rockies! Whistler (you know, that world-class ski resort sharing the 2010 Olympics with my lovely city?) isn't perched on the Andes!



Now where is that Mississippi River again? My money's on Ohio...
