Audience behavior at Evita. ( especially with the Latin community)

[henrikegerman]

^Si, lo mejor!

On a balmy afternoon in Colonia Roma, having just taken a long stroll down from the Bellas Artes to see the Orozcos and the Tamayos, there's nothing better.

Micheladas, that is.

I can live with or without the mafongo.

[DAME]

Then you haven't had the right Mofongo.

[henrikegerman]

^Could be! Let's all meet for dinner at Dame's house. I'll bring the rum - if it's ok, Santa Teresa or Pompero instead of Bacardi, I prefer my ron Venezelano to Boriqueno (then again, Bacardi's made in Mexico now isn't it?).

It will be a theme night. The assignment is to exhibit the annoying and disruptive behaviors most casually associated with your ethnic group.

In fact, I realize that my "shoehorn" comment might be offensive to POLF (people of large feet). My apologies if I have offended those who are large of feet.

But I'm not alone in this bias.

[Calvin]

All right! As one of a mixed English/Irish background, that means I get to put very little effort into the dish I bring and then drink heavily once I get there.

[FindingNamo]

But who doesn't love scones and clotted cream? Except the sizeist people, I mean.

[DAME]

You are all welcome here. I won't make the Mofongo. I will order it and have it Fed X. This papi is not a good cook.

[Gaveston2]

Loved the song parody, henrik.

[henrikegerman]

^Gracias, Companero! Don't forget to bring the haggis to Dame's!

[SonofRobbieJ]

Of course, as a white guy who's a little heavy and is sliding into middle age, I'm not really being a reverse racist or ageist. And as you, henrik, haven't actually been lecturing anyone about how and when to be offended, I wasn't really talking to you, was I? And I'm guessing the later reference to Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru didn't clue you in to the fact that my tongue was planted firmly in cheek, well, then...I don't know what to tell you.

[henrikegerman]

Sorry, SonofRobbie, as I tried to make clear in my post, my tongue as well was, at least loosely, planted, if not in my cheek, in a big bowl of Dame's mafongo.

Either there or in my father's wife's - you must meet her, she's his happiest mistake; the ache of his life! - lutefisk.

[SonofRobbieJ]

Your name really freaks me out now that I know you're middle aged. I keep thinking of you as some Nordic 20-something with a perpetual (anticpation?) hard-on and a cello between your legs.

Couldn't you have gone with Mrs. Segstrom?

[Gaveston2]

Enough with the Scandinavian quisine, henrik! My husband's of Swedish descent and though he's never tried to serve it, the stories of lutefisk give me nightmares.

Haggis is delicious, however, as I recall. Help me get started. I need sheep's bladder or something, right?

[henrikegerman]

ha! Alter egos can be so much fun, no?

[Reginald Tresilian]

Would you believe I don't even own a top hat?

[henrikegerman]

^Now I'm freaked out, Reginald!

Gaveston, I will try to restrain myself. And I've actually never had haggis. Although if I helped get you started we'd probably end up with something like sheep bladder borscht.

Yum!

[SonofRobbieJ]

You bitches needed to marry some Italians.

And I can believe Reg doesn't own a top hat? But a pillbox? Absolutely.

[TheatreDiva90016]

"Do I have to be a "fat ***** *********" to suck your "****", Diva, or will a merely plump one do? :)"


I only ask that your shoulders be wider than your waist...

[Gaveston2]

And I've actually never had haggis.

As I recall from from a trip to Scotland 30 years ago, haggis is basically meat-flavored oatmeal that has been allowed to marinate in a sheep's bladder. Surprisingly tasty and almost certainly nothing my doctor would allow me to eat.

But back on topic: I think Scots are the worst audiences of all! Because we're too cheap to buy tickets, we don't go to the theater in the first place.

[Reginald Tresilian]

"But a pillbox?"

Well, yes. But not a hat.

[DAME]

That a girl.

[My Oh My]

Wow, that was easy.

A fake bone and ghostlightXXXL totally goes for it. Didn't think the bitch would fetch the bit about me supposedly being fat and turning around in his hypocrisy and doing the very thing the bitchy queenifa attempted to school me on.

Pork loins!

[FindingNamo]

All this "tongue in cheek" business is extremely offensive to the Ellen Jamesians.

[ghostlight2]

Diva, I definitely fit that description, and DAME, I'm an excellent cook. Shall we have high tea at 420?

eta: who knew you were a Garp fan, Namo? I love that book.

[DAME]

High tea at 420 is a given! And I have always known it as MOFONGO .

[FindingNamo]

That book made me what I am today, ghostlight. Extremely sensitive to the feelings of the disenfranchised, aka the real victims of this thread.
