Slashdot Mirror


Broadway Awards Spam

norfolkboy writes "Spamalot the musical that is! The BBC is reporting that Spamalot has topped the nominations for Broadway's main awards, the Tonys. It is nominated for 14 awards. Of course, this has nothing to do with SPAM, but since the Musical was previously announced on Slashdot, I thought readers would be interested in this followup."

    Strange critics, lying about in flats, distributing nominations, is no basis for a system of awardship.

    If I were to claim an Oscar because some moistened bent lobbed a nomination at me, they'd put me away.

  12. Geekiest Broadway Show Ever by galo_2099 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Not only it's called Spam_A_Lot, the headline in BBC is "Python show tops stage shortlist". I started to wonder why the spammers use Python instead of Perl.

    They're going to tour in Hawai'i?

    I shudder to think if they took this show on the road, what might happen (Cue dream sequence)

    • Players strike because audience insists upon singing along with every tune, often in better key.
    • A major traffic jam in the lobby and considerable seating problems because everyone is wearing a suit of armor.
    • All grocers do a booming business in coconuts.
    • Don't even think of it playing in San Juan Capistrano!
    • Another major traffic jam when this play is over as everyone in the audience tries to "Run away! Run away!"

    Again, we apologize for the fault in the above post. The poster above, who was hired to point out that the moderator who was assigned to moderate the grand-parent post to -1 had been sacked, has also been sacked. This post has been thouroughly spell-checked at great expense and at the last minute.
