A new tack


OK, CV fans, Wayne, our resident valedictorian, has set us a new topic. What is the stupidest thing you have ever done in your life? Or, make a list of stupid things. Put your thinking caps on and start those confessions coming in. One thing is almost certain--your blunders will provide entertainment to the rest of us, because we all seem to take pleasure in the foibles of our fellow human beings.

I'll be thinking, and I'm sure I can come up with some good ones. I'm reminded of our fabled Mikado production at CVHS. The Mikado sings: "My object all sublime, I shall achieve in time, To let the punishment fit the crime, the punishment fit the crime. And make each prisoner 'pent, and willingly represent, a source of innocent merriment, of innocent merriment." (Sorry, the picture is Nanki Poo, not the Mikado. I can still hear that long drink of water, Homer Morris, [or was it Bob Hays?] singing those lines!)

Get going CV fans!

Bob was the Great Mikado, but I don't remember Homer's part in the play.

Whon were the three (or was it six ) little maids??

Gary White said...

There were three: Yum-Yum and her sisters, Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo. As to who played them, I leave it to other bloggers to fill in the names.

Thanks, Dick, for the complete names rundown. Yes, now that I remember, it was double cast,except for PooBah. I played that part in both casts.
