perichoresis Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 The following dialogue was selected from a book.Here goes.... Frank "Yo! What's shaking? Tony "Not much buddy-boy.repaired another 72 cubic Freez-O-Matic today.ain't they the worst? Frank "Fuggedaboutit.Faulty freon tubes left and right.Gimme that side by side Kenmore any day I always say. Tony "Didja get a look at that prima ballerina tonight? Whoa, what a dancer. Frank "You got that right.Never seen such a line.She musta practised with a tape measure. Tony "Yeah, how about that pas de deux-did you catch that amazing pointe work.Quick but delicate, like a Rapid R-53 staple gun. Frank "And those 32 fouettes in the coda. It was like she was drillin' a hole in the floor at 900 rpm with an 18 volt Black&Decker cordless. Tony "Yeah but what's with her partner? No turnout at all during his variation.Sheesh! Frank "Yeah, what does he think he is, a Ramelson 11/64 straight handle skew chisel? Tony "And he totally messed up his menage.turned it into a diagonL halfway through. He coudda used a plumb bob level.Whadda louse. Frank "Yeah... got something stuck in his dance belt. Tony "See you at Beethoven's 9th tonight? Frank "count on it. Go figure! Ciao Tony Link to comment
bart Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Thanks, perichoresis. I love the insights these particular balletomanes bring to ballet. The image of a dancer's turnout resembling a Ramelson straight-handle skew chisel will stay with me for a l-o-n-g time! Tony "See you at Beethoven's 9th tonight?Frank "count on it. Is that Bejart's version of the 9th that he's talking about? Link to comment
