...show in London, and again in the (virtually identical) New York version. Alan Bennett's comedy-drama about a class of public school boys and their lovably old-fashioned teacher, struck me as a sentimental, highfalutin' version of Welcome Back, Kotter. Only in this case, the teacher (the dismayingly rotund Richard Griffiths) also likes to diddle the boys' privates when he gives them rides home on his motorcycle, and the classroom cut-ups reenact entire scenes from Dark Victory and know all the words to Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. Oh, please. The play's central conflict, and claim to seriousness...
...were far more successful in hyping up the crowd than Fatlip. Their stage presence was strong in a clichéd way, that kept the crowd happy and could definitely lead to pop-hop success. Having never seen Blackalicious in person, I was surprised to see only a sweetly rotund man (Gift of Gab) with 2 back-up singers and a DJ. It was an energetic performance that demonstrated Gift of Gab’s many, many vocal ranges, from Twista-esque fast-paced funk to Chuck D’s harder, self-satisfied flow to Rahzel?...

We left before they finished their set, but I’m fairly confident that it continued to be sweet. Also, we ran into the “boatmaster” of Harvard—whose...
Forrest King, a rotund man who does not surrender very easily, was told by the American Red Cross and FEMA that they would not help him find Hurricane Katrina victims who needed a place to stay. If he wanted to help, he should give cash, he was told. Otherwise, who knows whom he might let into his home? They might be murderers. They might smoke. In any case, there would be great strain on everyone...
...newer models. One clever strip has an entire conversation in car-related numbers: "34 x 4 1/2?" "95 x 5" "Do 70?" "Do 80!" "3,000!" "Offer 2250!" But the real heart of the strip began beating on February 14, 1921 when the central character, Walt Wallet, a rotund confirmed bachelor with a sharp cowlick of hair sticking out the top of his oval head, opened his door to discover a baby left on his doorstep...
