Hookie?

[jamesq]

I'm taking an extra-long lunch break this Thursday to watch Lunchbox Theatre's production of A Life in the Theatre by David Mamet.

A theatre joke I heard from wackynephews:

A posh fellow is walking through the West End theatre district of London when he encounters a beggar.

"Could you spare some change", asks the beggar.
"Neither a borrower, nor a lender be - Shakespeare wrote that", said the fellow.
"Oh yeah? Fuck you - David Mamet wrote that."

Possibly you need to be familiar with Mamet to really get that joke.

Afterward there'll be lunch, probably at Booker's Crab Shack.

I'm putting this out there on the off chance others will want to play hookie, or are handy for some/all of the festivities during their normal lunch break. The self-employed should come too, because we all know that self-employment is all about sitting around waiting for lunch opportunities.

Anyway, the show is 12:10 Thursday and lunch will be 1:30-ish (depending on how long it takes us to drag the burlap sack with othelianna in it the distance from the theatre to the restaurant).

Then you should come for lunch - I don't get off til 1:15/1:30, and can meet everyone (if I'm invited???) at about 1:45 depending on traffic.

Sure. You've been to Booker's before right?

I think so - we went there after archery once, right??

1:30 ish sound possible. Pending I don't go a little crazy between now and then.

I like that this is shaping up to be me and a big group of women!

Unless they all start to talk about what jerks men are, then I'm doomed.

Heh if they start complaining about men being jerks I think there is sufficient evidence to point out that many women are fucking fruit loops. That should balance things out.
