MOG

I picture him saying this with a very red face...and the veins in his neck all bulging.

lots of spit too!

I'm digging this. Odd yes, but in a good way.

Picture this as Dick Cheney saying grace before a meal.

Never heard this type of musical poetry before, and I like it. “Music rots when it gets too far from the dance.  Poetry atrophies when it gets too far from music.” ---Ezra Pound, A B C of Reading, 1934, p.61.

There is no need for MOG to ever have a poetry slam - we already have a winner....

first time I heard anything with that many zzzz's that did not put me to sleep. cool

And just think -- this is just an excerpt, according to the introduction.  There's a whole opera of this.  The mind reels...

Reminds me of Worf's love of Klingon opera.

Has this guy ever heard of the Dadaists? Just asking.

WTFWT -> I particularly liked KonKrypton's comment ->

Z-Har -> I had a friend in high school with torettes syndrome, we'd always get him to drive us around on bake rides -> I think the inspiration for this opera came from his outbursts -> Imagine being stoned, riding with a guy who has uncontrollable outburts, who talks like that, and keeps jerking the steering wheel left and right because he has a need to call his pinky finger a mutha-fuka and chase it with his mouth to bite it -> the rest of us screamed the whole ride...

I picture the guy reciting it sort of like this guy:

CONTRA -> that was fookin brilliant! I had no idea the guy who played Alex so was friggin wierd -> he really didn't have to stretch to fit that role, eh? Was C.O. based on this guy's life? I would believe it...

It's definitely a classic.  I'm really not sure why he delivered it in a Tenessee Williams meets Porgy and Bess fashion, but it's embarassing to say the least.  I never thought Ralph Macchio was a good actor until I watched this guy.
