Saaaay, what about impressionists? First comedian to suggest Cezanne gets smacked Or prop comedians? Or acrobats? Or someone to do a dramatic recitation? There have got to be more talented folks among Dopedom.
Sequinned elephants and tongues-in-noses do not an extravaganza make!
I dunno, FCM, if we use the sequinned elephants in the tongues in noses act, we’d, we’d…
…we’d have PETA on our asses, that’s for damn sure.
Okay – can anyone do Paul Lynde?
With or without my tongue in my nose? And does the elephant have to be very involved?
I used to do a bang-up Paul Lynde, actually. Carol Channing, too. Oh, and my Annie version of The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow is to die for.
Matter of fact, people have threatened to kill me as soon as I start. Damn critics, they’re everywhere.
FCM, I believe you’ve mistaken me for the MonkeyMule whose penchant for feces flinging is well documented.
I do a class act and will not fling feces for anything less than scale.
MonkeyMensch, there was no confusion. I was just being proactive (Oh how I hate that word!!!)
Oh yeah, and what is this “scale” you reference? Surely you’re not expecting monetary compensation?? This is all about the love of performing. twicks and I could never insult artistes with the offer of mere money.
But you can have all the donuts you can eat. And free tissues for removing your makeup. And the aforementioned cast party. How can money compare to that??
And sequins – don’t forget sequins! Here – fill your pockets with them! Amaze your friends! Confound your enemies!
Sorry, FCM. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble, really. Just having a diva moment - my lover’s ex-girlfriend’s cousin’s roommate’s sister’s brother-in-law’s former babysitter was giving an interview to the Enquirer saying I was a has-been, that’s all. And of course we all know that I am a star, a big star, just like flamingbananas. I’m fine now, really. Just hand me some more sequins …
You are more than welcome to use the sequinned elephant that I will produce in your act, twickster. And don’t worry about PETA. If they make a fuss, I’ll just sick the elephant on them. 
Hah! As if the pig story wasn’t dramatic!
I suppose I could do “The boy stood on the burning deck…” if your taste runs that way. Smoke pots around the stage, and flash charges full of sequins!
Or Shakespeare would be good: “To be or not to be!” Although it’s hard to work many sequins into a speech about suicide.
Sequins don’t have to be flamboyant, you know. We could do a simple black jumpsuit, with a subtle sequined pattern on the back – a black on black skull, perhaps? I can hear the murmurs of awe from the audience now, when you dramatically turn your back, somehwere around “…that dread of something after death…”, and the grinning skull is discerned.
I could serve beer whilst wearing a spangly sequinned top…
Oh, yes! That would be good! Though I think a tunic and tights would be best - stay in period, you know. “… what dreams may come…”
Does anybody know if crazy glue™ will hold sequins on velvet?
Don’t worry, Angua – everyone who wants sequins will get them!
Would the good managers like a martial arts routine?
My routine consists of: A bo stave form (with a sequin-covered stave, of course); an unarmed form; then a series of board breaks (only on the Dope).
I’ll even put sequins on the boards!
Cool! Do you think you could make up some boxes – out of veneers or something – that look like boards, but they’re filled with sequins? That way, when you broke the “boards,” there would be a dramatic “shower o’ sequins” effect that would be very dramatic.
BTW, we’re planning a microdope for the 19th – go sign up!
I’m glad to see everyone getting into the spirit of the sequins.
You know, Ed Sullivan always had a rock-and-roll band. I think that might be a good idea for us, too. So, who’s got a band?
Well my brother has a band…but him and 2 other band memebers are grounded for terrible grades. (Fs, if you must know). So my brother’s band is out. And he isn’t a big fan of sequins.
Oh, and rockle, I’m cool if you’re cool.
We’re cool, then. In fact, I had a wonderful dream last night about a possible encore that the two of us could do together. Feel like learning how to spin (sequined) plates? What if the plates were also festooned with sparklers?
Spinning sequined plates with sparklers? Rockin idea! And the sticks that hold the plates, could have sequins too! I am thinking some hot pink. What are your ideas?
gets excited
The only odd talent I have is being able to list the prepositions in under 10 seconds. I’m sure you can figure out just how critical a skill that’s proven itself to be.
