...oral intimacy? Not surprisingly, nothing. Nothing specific. But if one reads between the lines, the news is not good for the President. It's terrible. In Genesis 38: 8-10, God commands a man named Onan to marry his brother's widow. Reluctant to impregnate her, Onan commits coitus interruptus, spilling his seed on the ground. How does God deal with Onan's seminal wastefulness? "And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also...
...they certainly don't, as every rabid Rotisserie rooter, desperately craving his breakfast box-score fix, can attest. What makes the present condition of baseballus interruptus so galling is that the major leagues as a whole (unlike several individual teams) are prospering.

Truth be told, the main force behind the crusade is the mercenary and bloodthirsty Countess Interruptus (Zak Klobucher), who reads Soldier of Fortune and has all the men cowering. The appearance of this motley band is one of the funniest scenes in the show. Dressed like red-white-and-black chess pieces, they march down the aisles singing...
...evil Countess Interruptus (Klobucher), for example, not only mugs and sneers hilariously, but shows off the best legs in the production (and does some impressive things with them), earning the envy of any woman in her right mind...
