Well now, It gives me great pleasure to add this to the collection: - If I shove the moose antlers over here......and haul the bear rug over there....I think there's room enough. I found this one down on the corner - it was easy to spot, I just had to follow the crowd noise...down the side alley and through the backstage door....up the stairs, and this is what I encountered:
The second recipient of the 49 Laughs Award Perhaps it helps to be either Irish, Catholic, or both.... but if neither, I don't think it will matter. This is just plain funny. You may need to lie down a bit after reading, because the plot thread has a tendency to cause dizzyness. (or is that the brandy?) You might need to set up an excel spreadsheet to keep track of who does what with whom, who's related and who isn't, (and the number of bottles dear old Mary consumes) but be warned: may cause cracked ribs from over-laughing! The style is brilliant. I only wish it was on a stage somewhere - I'd go see it in a minute! (I'm tempted to say this is not for the faint-hearted or prudish - but that's just the point! ) ....easily tipped the 49-laugh meter. and healthy as a pint of Guinness. (hopefully, this travels over the water better.) - and I expect a goodish bit of clamoring for the rest of it ....rumor has it the author made a valiant attempt to complete the work, but contracted a severe case of shaky writing hand from giggle-fits (an occupational hazard, so I'm told.) Best of luck on finishing it! Bravo - Captain Midnight Just let me laugh when it's funny and when it's sad, let me cry |
