Well, I could think of worse things to be associated with I guess. Les Misérables for example.

Jim said...

Fiddler? Really? Mind unpacking that a little? I mean, am I a happy Jew on a roof with a violin singing and dancing or am I one of the other characters?

And THANKS for not likening me to "No Exit".... Whew....

James Crossley said...

Oh, I like that one Mike! Good choice.

Cynthia R. Nielsen said...

Let me show my ignorance--what is "Funny Girl"? A musical or a play and in what way do I remind you of this? Was it the "philosophy of kissing" post? ;)

Cheers,
Cynthia

Mike,

I laughed so hard when I read this that I spilled my coffee. This is great.

Responses:

Jim West - connection between you and Fiddler on the Roof is that you're into OT studies and Fiddler on the roof is about a Jewish family, and also you look like the tailer that one of the girls marries.

James Crossley - your dress sense has the forbooding darkness of an Ibsen play.

Cynthia - Funny Girl is a musical. You are the Streissand of female bibliobloggers as you are clever and witty.

PS Before I decided to join the Army and train to kill people I never met, I wanted to be a lyricist writing musicals that would appear on the Westend and Broadway.

HAHAH!!!! Thanks! The taller one.... well that's good!

Sean said...

The Lion King? Extrapolate your narrative?

Great post, Mike! But you haven't yet told us the most important thing: which musical character are you? (I'm trying to think of a humorous, cheeky, red-headed character from a musical....)

Ben,

Orphan Annie?

Hi Michael,

O.K. then I take it as a compliment :) However, I have never been compared to a blonde--since you added "clever" and "witty"--I'll take it с удовольствием!

p.s. Thank you for linking me--the blog name, however, is "per" caritatem, not "peri" -- perhaps your Greek is confusing your Latin:)

p.s.s. I love your statement about "really, really, really" believing in the resurrection--witty as well.
