Yes gentlemen and ladies, theatre is a disease. Do you know the tell-tale signs?

1. You can speak in iambic pentameter without really thinking.

2. You can walk into a room full of guys who are complaining about their makup and it doesn't strike you as odd.

3. When someone says 'pantie-hose' you think 'renaissance'

4. You use the words 'intermission' and 'half-time' interchangably.

5. You think nothing of cross-dressing in public

6. You can hold a conversation with someone, while they are changing their cloths, and not notice untill you realize that they are wearing a different costume than when you began the conversation

7. when someone says 'go right' you wonder 'right-right' or 'stage-right.'

8. When conversing to people, you always try to face the light.

9. You always speak so that your voice projects over a large distance.

10. You make refernces to Waiting for Godot in everyday conversations (particularly when someone is late)

hmm. No more theatre for me, then. Wait... what's wrong with doing too much theatre?

You forgot 'Spelling it Theatre instead of Theater'

I plead guilty, your honor.

That IS the correct spelling. Along with centre, colour, cheque... Oh, and it's pronounced "on root", NOT "EN ROWT".
Bloody Americans and their Orwellian Newspeak...

Hey now, do not colour us all with the same pen. It is obscene behaviour, that.

Kimpatsu · 05-28-2003, 12:04 AM

But I thought everything in life was black and white...
