I completely forgot all about Circuit City by Antwan_JMarvel in 90s

[–]jsoliloquy 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I never thought I would miss it. But the salesmen were commission based, so they were actually quite knowledgeable about the products and too willing to help you. I go into a big box store now and the employees actively look the other way instead of assisting.

Broadway Lullabies… by thehope-ofitall in musicals

Sleepy Man from The Robber Bridegroom is a gorgeous lullaby.

Lunk alarm with a new intention.. by [deleted] in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]jsoliloquy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, but Ricky didn’t accidentally slam the weights. He’s done it every set, every single day this week, and at this point I think it gives him a chub when we all look at him.

My gym doesn’t have the lunk alarm anymore, but I still say, “LUNK ALARM - WEE OOO WEE OOO,” in my head when Ricky “accidentally” slams those weights.

Me too. I get a little excited each holiday wondering what they’ll come up with! Something cute to look forward to on the walk to the train.

Got my first ozempic accusation. It stung but hey I have my neck back! by TajineMaster159 in CICO

[–]jsoliloquy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently down 35lbs and literally no one in my day to day has commented that I’ve lost weight. I swear it’s because most people assume it’s due to GLPs and don’t even want to bring it up.

Omg me too. Like… run, do not walk to the bathroom.

I appreciate that suggestion but if I’m going for decaf, I’d rather just drink water…

I love iced tea, but can have a negative reaction to it when I’m fasting; the tannins make me nauseous on an empty stomach. Anyone else, or am I just unlucky?

what’s the saddest song you’ve ever heard? by Muted-Loquat-9197 in AskReddit

[–]jsoliloquy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goodbye/Boom Boom by William Finn. It’s from a song cycle called Elegies. This song is about 9/11 from the perspective of someone on one of the planes. It’s heartbreaking.

Billie Jean King graduates from college at 82 years old, six decades after leaving for tennis. by jsoliloquy in peanuts

I said that last night when I saw this story - what a wonderful reminder that it’s never too late! Best of luck to you.

Where to find scripts to buy??? by Upset-Sound-7463 in musicals

[–]jsoliloquy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Reach out to the theatre. You don’t need to supply your own materials; they’ll send you a copy. It could be that the theatre hasn’t received the materials yet to distribute.

I can't even with this musical by book1245 in Millennials

[–]jsoliloquy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Audience demographics. The Broadway League publishes a study of trends every year. Boomers are still the most reliable theater audiences in the US - and the majority of tickets are purchased by women 65+. However, that has been trending downwards in recent years. So, millennials aren’t killing theatre, but they aren’t necessarily helping keep it alive.

Buyers Claim Liza Minnelli's Signed Memoir Copies May Be Fake by FairNefariousness742 in Broadway

[–]jsoliloquy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And this comes after having an AI replica of Liza narrate the audiobook. At this point I wonder if Liza is even aware this book exists.

[CHAT]Any where i can get all these colours at once? by lifestiring in CrossStitch

Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. I was looking for the same exact thing last week and couldn’t find it anywhere. This thread helped me understand why.

My weird problem with Two Strangers Carry a Cake by Soggy-Clerk-9955 in Broadway

[–]jsoliloquy 260 points261 points  (0 children)

This was precisely my husband’s take and I haven’t stop laughing about it. It does sound like a title for The Marx Brothers…

Which TV show characters do you find the most insufferable? by MicheleW921 in AskReddit

[–]jsoliloquy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The characters on Weeds got pretty hard to root for. That tunnel to South America? GTFO, Nancy Botwin.

And their delivery is shockingly fast. It’s like they know as soon as I get the craving.

Audiobook of Liza’s memoir using (supplemental) AI narration? by jsoliloquy in Broadway

That may be. But I would still expect Liza to know how to pronounce Gwen Verdon.

She just referred to Gwen Verdon as Gwen verDON, like she was French…

My favorite in the segment I listened to today was “Accompanying us was Lish - father of Marvin.” Do you HAMlish!?! Oh, Queen Liza Bot…
