...gray sheriff from some late-period Clint Eastwood western, riding out of retirement to drive off the rascals who'd plundered his town. With a soft voice and a rusty delivery to make his attack lines go down easy, the man from Wyoming stole Al Gore's best bullet from 1992 and shot it back at him: "It is time for them...

Despite the minor inconvenience, we have reaped almost excessive benefits in our travels with the Dins.

...three bullet-headed blue men with the deadpan insouciance of Buster Keaton have changed hardly at all. They still do the trademark bits from their quirky, eight-year-old off-Broadway show: tubes of paint are poured onto a drum, and the resulting splashes form instant abstract art; an audience member is dragged onstage to join the Blue Men in a Twinkie banquet, which gets icky when the cream filling bursts out of their stomachs. But the stage at the Luxor Hotel, where Blue Man Group has been playing since March, is four times the size of the troupe...
