Using a Drinking Fountain

Posted: 11/13/09 at 6:28pm

I think you all know what I mean. Have you ever stolen a sip of water from a drinking fountain before, during intermission, or after a show? Like one time I was at Hair and took a sip (or two) from the upstairs fountain. I used one sip to wash down my Geral Tso's Chicken from dinner. If you ever done this, please tell your story. I would love to hear them. :)

I once spilled the water all over my stolen Playbills. I stole them from the back of the house, but the cast still signed all 34 of them.

Good story.

I once waited to use the drinking fountain behind William Finn at Spelling Bee. While I waited I stole some Playbills and had him sign them. He dribbled all over them. What a messy drinker!

When I saw Billy Elliot in April, there were about 10 boxes of Playbills all stacked under the water fountain in the Balcony.

I had the entire cast of Hair sign a drinking fountain once.

Oh please! From the looks of that cast you know they haven't seen water for almost a year! You're such a liar Eris!

Well, there wasn't any water in it. It wasn't hooked up. Duh, Bobby.

So you're saying you stole it? Or did you take it from the usher's stack of water fountains? Those don't belong to anyone.

I was walking toward a fountain once, and one of the ushers got mad at me because he thought I was going to steal the water. He pulled me over and told me I can't steal the water, but I told him I wasn't. The usher referred me to where they were selling drinks so I could purchase a $3 bottle of water, but I refused to buy one. Then he got the house manager who ended up kicking me out of the show because he didn't feel like arguing with me. I don't understand because people walk towards water fountains in the theater all the time. Who do I write to so I can have them fired?

True story.

I was at The Golden. Nobody was there. And I walked downstairs to get a drink of water. The ghetto ushers (if you've been to The Golden you have to know what I'm talking about) screamed at me and tried to refuse to let me go get a drink of water. She was very serious about her job. And by job I mean the rules she made up in her crazy usher head.

One time, I went the water fountain and cupped my hands under it so I could get Alice Ripley to sign it, but by the time I got to the stage door, the water was gone and my hands were just damp. Someone stole my water and I think it was one of you!

I wonder if Ripley would have signed your water in bubble letters...

I FOUND a water fountain signed by the cast of Hair on eBay!

One not need a military man to get waterboarded.

Any hot man will do.

Must be referencing Ripley and her midnight YouTube meltdowns. That reminds me, I haven't watched "The Peppermint Twist" video in hours!
