a very long post on my favorite subject...ME!!! — Page 4

Dear Lord, has reading comprehension totally gone out the window? And I'm not talking about those for whom English is not their first language. The barbs and comments seem to be directed at those tripping and fawning over one another to post (in an attempt to suck up) to Marc Shaiman. And I don't believe any comments were directed to Eddie, who you can't help but to love, or administrators of this board. Some post are a natural extension of previous relationships.

I never read anything at any time where anyone indicated a desire for any other member to cease posting...anything!

But, Marc, not to burst anyone's bubble, 'cause God knows I'm nothing but a positive person, but I've had the occasion to open another very hot thread last night and read what papa wrote. He referenced a Tony winning composer...just a composer...not a composer/lyricist. Certainly such an omission wouldn't have gone unnoticed. Certainly he would have never failed to acknowledge ALL your accomplishments. (See guys, this is how one subtly sucks up.) Perhaps he meant someone else.

"Just the mere fact that a lowlife nobody like Eddie Varley uses his own name should be proof enough it is NOT about "who you are" but just about who you are!"

See, it's another comic gold star post! It's one of the reasons I love..uh, hey WAIT A MINUTE!

Ah, just kiddin', it's AMAZING!

Say what you will but this thread.."ROCKS", and so does Idina!

Would a glossary of terms help?

I have gotten blasted for using improper terminology even after I explained I was a neophyte.

And, I enjoy witty reparte' (danged accent mark) whether it be renowned showfolk or folks "in the know" or the rest of the world. I don't consider it vying for attention. I like the verbal ping-pong of wit.

That's okay Marc.. you are big, blonde-ISH, and beautiful!

bwaystar2b...I almost went to that class but I had to go to a college thing...w/ my portfolio...I don't really remember it but I'm sure it sucked a lot (especially in comparison to your experience). Which categories did your troupe perform in?

Who is Idina? Is that the flying hussy?

Marc,

as an aspiring Lyricist I think it is a amzing that a person who has acheived such proffesional stature as yourself is making youself available as a pontential resource to others. I am hoping in the future to use ths resource if I have any tough questions and I want to let you know how thankful it is to have that.

Thanks,
Akiva
