OT: about musicals

[Daniel]

Some years ago, in my early twenties, I was dating a professional
ballerina from the local ballet company. There were occasions when
special shows would come into town and the ballet company would get a
load of complimentary tickets from the production. And on one of these
occasions, it was a broadway series.

I'd never seen a musical in my life and agreed to go with her. Sounded
like fun. These dancers were notorious partiers and I knew there would be
a gathering at one of the dancers' houses after the show. These parties
were epic, I tell you. I figured it would be a great night.

The show was 'Chicago.' And so it started and I'm sitting through the
first song thinking, "okay cool the story will start now." No, they sang
and danced the whole effing time. Within ten minutes I was ready to
go out of sheer boredom. This is NOT my thing. And so three hours pass
and it finally ends - my ass AND back hurts from I don't know
what. About thirty of us are together at this point, and we walk into
the premenade to exit the theater. I turn my head to say 'Thank god
that's over,' with the naive thought that the dudes would say the same
thing. But no, they all start going "OM MY GOD THAT WAS SOOOO GOOD."
And I instantly knew to shut my mouth. And I was that schmuck who led
his girlfriend into believing that I liked musicals. In my mind I was
thinking, if all musicals are like this, holy hell. I instantly felt
sorry for all the other schmucks, like me, who pretend to like musicals
to make their women happy when under the surface they'd rather be at a
bar or something... anything." No I'm sure there are some males out
there who like musicals. Fair enough - no judgement here.

Some years later, when I met my wife, one of the things I made clear on
our first dates was my disdain for musicals. She laughed and said,
'yeah, typical guy.' I sighed in relief.

We just had our nineteenth annivesary last week and she spent Saturday
night with her girlfriends to watch a musical as an anniversary gift. I
stayed home with some bourbon and a few stogies on the front porch. A
few of my neighbors noticed and joined. It was a pleasant, peaceful
night.

That's all.

Smart move on your part. It's always good for a gal to know if their
boyfriend likes musicals or not. Then she won't have to waste her time
trying to figure out if you're gay or not.

My husband doesn't like musicals, but he's fond of the occasional

two of his favorites.

upside down a lot causes brain damage and makes men like romcoms?

Not upside-down. Like this:

Of course, if anything goes wrong, the "door gunner" dies.

The connection is, a guy with that kind of courage can't be
reproached for his movie choices. Not that he'd care, anyway.

In my case it was modern ballet, and I didn't fall asleep! Probably that

"When Harry Met Sally" is a favorite of mine. But it's not fitting as a
rom-com really, not a modern one at least. I hated the movie on first
viewing, when I was eighteen. Saw it again about a decade later and
liked it okay. Then I watched it with the family another decade later
and thought it a masterpiece. I guess I had to grow into it.

Communication skills are very important in a relationship! My wife loves
ballet. Fortunately she goes with her sister and mother, and let's me rest
peacefully at home.

If you are forced, a pro-tip is to sleep! I've done it once or twice.
Actually, I can't help it. ;)

This strategy seems to be used by a broad spectrum of males. I heard that
apparently, my wifes father independently of me discovered the same trick
when he went with his wife. The problem in his case was that he was
snoring, so he experienced multiple sharp elbows in his side, and had to
endure the ballet somewhat conscious. =/

She was attractive enough - and also a new hire - fresh out of high

Heh, it's a modern house with a covered patio - laundry room above the
patio. Perfect for enjoying being outside without the constant breeze. I
had an iron gate installed under one arch and decorative iron treatment
on the other. Got ivy growing on the treatment and provides good privacy
when I'm out there.

I wouldn't want to do anything with my weapons outside - living in
California and all. While all my immediate neighbors are heavily armed,
the state's full of anti-gun nazis.

I can't wait to move out of here.

patio. Perfect for enjoying being outside without the constant breeze. I
had an iron gate installed under one arch and decorative iron treatment
on the other. Got ivy growing on the treatment and provides good privacy
when I'm out there.
I wouldn't want to do anything with my weapons outside - living in
California and all. While all my immediate neighbors are heavily armed,
the state's full of anti-gun nazis.
I can't wait to move out of here.

I feel your pain. It must be very tough to live in the democrats own
paradise on earth. =( What was once a nice play, I've heard has now been
destroyed by some crazy democrat.

But fear not! In a few hours Trump will be king and clean up California as
well, and then all will be well!
