Damo Wins Role Of Salieri Opposite Norm in Amadeus, The Musical
October 21st 2008 21:57
The businessman behind such interesting blogs as For the Sake of Argument and My Apologetics, Damo has, thanks to some fine work on the couch, won the role of the jealous nobody Salieri, opposite intentionally acclaimed genius Norm - set to play Mozart, himself, in Amadeus II: Norm is the better of the two.
"When they said I could poison people, I went ape-shit!" Damo, quite the balanced individualist, told his pet monkey and cousin, as they picked fleas off each other's scalp, eating their finds, and just generally grooming one another in a fine display of humanity.
"I beat out a host of other keyboarders," the musically challenging leader of the free-world told his treacherous subjects, who are all out to plant an axe in his mind, pull down his pants and expose his error, which is never the source of humour: righteousness is, naturally.
"I can't think of a single difference between intellect and knowledge. I really look forward to working with him. I really admire his ability to do stuff. He's never known himself to be wrong. I've never known myself. It's going to be awesome," Norm thought, to himself, sucking his thumb.
Salieri, the bitter and jealous and angry and pantsless and poisonous and righteous and pompous keyboarder who poisoned the talented and strong and fun-loving and brilliant and handsome keyboarder, Mozart was, on the whole, angry and without pants and clamouring for status.
"I'm really going to have to get into this character. Do a lot of research. Look deep into myself to find a jealous and angry and trouserless and irate and unfunny and righteous and pompous keyboarder who can't stand seeing others enjoy themselves," the puritanical farce of reason told his personal agent of universal creation.
"This whole thing could blow up in my face, but I don't care," Norm, pashing the boundaries of common decency and accepted codes of understanding, told his case-worker, as the supreme linguistic genius and unbelievably good creator of so much fluff it's just not funny built a pope-bomb.

You've just outdone yourself. This now ranks as my number #1 favourite of your posts. (That pretty much means it will be totally misunderstood).
As the old man said often, "It's not often I'm right, but I'm never wrong."
It seems to me that no matter how much you try to diffuse Orble wars, whatever you write on this site inflames someone. I might go back to archiving.

You're a mighty spirit, mate.
It's a bit like having an allergy but ordering the shrimp, anyway.

This is a purler of a post. It's like being gay and going for the oysters.
The real problem I see with intolerance is this. We get so blinded, we fail to see how much we can learn from each other.
I know what I believe. Okay, so I don't put it into practice. I'm resigned to my own hypocrisy.
But shoving my own hypocrisy down someone else's throat?
I've learnt a lot about writing from the way you write.
I nearly wrote a post recently on the subject of, It's what I don't know that disturbs me, not what I do know. But when it comes to posts like that? I'd rather just write a short blurb on your blog. Iv'e got serious writing to do on mine?
But it is an interesting subject.
So much talk about tolerance. So little evidence of it?
It's almost like people will tolerate anything except people disagreeing with their views?
At the end of the day, I take a very simplistic view or approach to the whole matter. If I can learn something about writing from someone? I'll acknowledge that I've learnt that, regardless of how much I thought I knew about the writing process. Writing is about the only subject in life I know anything about. I know I like oysters but I know more about writing about oysters than I do about tasting them.

Reading Normish is one of the best things I've ever done for my writing.

It is like you have known me all my life.
When can I come over to help you finish your own requiem?

As for Norm, I'd bet he's known a few gnomes in his time.

I for one am sick and tired of having exposed errors flapping around loose, hitting people in the forehead, waving in the stiff breeze, and generally making emotionally erect statements to all and sundry.
It's undecent.

Morg, I did hesitate to press POST but thought to myself, "What would Mozart do?"...
Jayne, agreeing with LHM is one of the best things you can do for your writing, he's much more like me than I am.
Lill, echos and mirrors: equal. That was just like old times. The middle brain has gone belly up, ay.
Damo, if I'm an irresistible force, you're an immovable object. You're one, anyway. This porridge tastes funny.
damian, I prefer the term 'vertically challenged garden ornament', thank-you. If I was a gambling man, I'd really have a problem.
D, I always look for girls who wear pants in the first place. Saves a lot of time.
Cheers

I take my pants of one leg at a time like everyone else. I do other impressions too. Here's my Marlon Brando in The Godfather: "Never go against the family."

"if I'm an irresistible force, you're an immovable object."
Now that just can't be true.
Everyone knows I am far more irresistible than you any day.
Have you finished your mess of pottage yet?
No wonder I have such a big ego.

I bet removalists look at you and go, "My back!"
You might need to up the dosage.

Now that we have proven nothing over nothing.
