THAT WAS EXACTLY OUR REACTION TO AMERICAN IDOL
"The first time I saw it I thought it was the stupidest thing I'd ever seen in my entire life."
-- Clay Aiken, who is -- in yet another sign of the apocalypse --joining the cast of Spamalot.

Um..I'll pass, thanks! I'm glad I saw it with most of the original cast.

Somebody slap him with a herring.

That toilet comment really does not help his image in any way.

Nice of you to visit us again here on planet Earth, Clay. How long were you gone?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 18, 2008 at 02:50 PM
Not long enough, Mean one...not lone enough.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 18, 2008 at 02:54 PM
No need to get personal, Sioux. Sheesh.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 18, 2008 at 02:56 PM
*snork*
um...that did not come out quite right.
It's long, not lone. ;-)

Somehow, the Robin part might just fit thid dweeb...
BRIDGEKEEPER: Stop! Who approacheth the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.
ROBIN: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I'm not afraid.
BRIDGEKEEPER: What... is your name?
ROBIN: 'Sir Robin of Camelot'.
BRIDGEKEEPER: What... is your quest?
ROBIN: To seek the Holy Grail.
BRIDGEKEEPER: What... is the capital of Assyria?
ROBIN: I don't know that! Auuuuuuuugh!

Because nothing says "great comedic performance" like the actor asking "Why is this funny?".
Posted by: SpecialNobodie | January 18, 2008 at 03:02 PM
Siouxie - don't get Meanie going again. It's Friday and he just got paid....
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | January 18, 2008 at 03:04 PM
I agree with everything Aiken said 100%. Probably because I'm an 80s baby.

You know what sign of the apocalypse is?
Dave Barry, who used to be funny, repeating other people's tired jokes.
Posted by: Bob | January 18, 2008 at 03:41 PM
HEY BOB!!!! don't you be dissin' Dave!!
question? do you come with batteries?
Posted by: Siouxie | January 18, 2008 at 03:57 PM
Hey, Bob - You what a sign of the apocalypse is? Someone who can't write a complete sentence dissing a Pulitzer Prize winner in the company of his fans.
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 18, 2008 at 04:07 PM
phew...thank goodness i got to see it last weekend, before he joined the cast. who is monty python indeed...good god, man! They were before my time, but thank goodness i've been watching the holy grail and flying circus since i was knee-high to a killer rabbit :)

If rehearsals are making his rear sore, Guinivere's out of luck.
Posted by: CJrun | January 18, 2008 at 04:34 PM
Hey DeskDiva - be thankful that they don't award Pulitzers for originality, because Dave would've been laughed out of the building. He's long past his prime.

I think you forgot an "O" letter in your name, Boob.

Okay, who gave the monkey a keyboard?

*waves buh bye to booby*

If you don't want me here, then don't be dissing my favorite singer before he takes the stage.
Posted by: Bob | January 18, 2008 at 05:22 PM
Oh I get it, I get it! Its like that time Brit was a twit on stage, everone laughed and then the hysterical teenager sobbed on You Tube "Leave Britney Alone!" Okay, all making sense to me now.
Clay Aiken has a fan. How adorable!
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | January 18, 2008 at 05:29 PM
Awwww...a Claymaniac. That 'splains a lot.
Say no more, Bobby...say no more. Let me just add that he's got the right role.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 18, 2008 at 05:33 PM
LOL, Cheryl! And Bob - lemme just say that we've already seen him take the stage...hence the amusement.
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 18, 2008 at 05:35 PM
He told the magazine he was so sore from rehearsals he "couldn't even get off the toilet the other day."
Maybe he should have taken a wider stance...
Posted by: Siouxie | January 18, 2008 at 05:38 PM
DeskDiva, do tell. Where have you seen him on stage?
Posted by: Bob | January 18, 2008 at 05:39 PM
Bob - TV. You don't have to see someone live to get the flavor of their performances.
Posted by: DeskDiva | January 18, 2008 at 07:46 PM
Whatever. Clay Aiken makes his Broadway debut in 5 minutes.
Posted by: Bob | January 18, 2008 at 07:56 PM
People! Please be quiet. I am trying to channel my inner Barry Manilow here.
Posted by: Clay Aiken | January 18, 2008 at 07:58 PM
He's not quite dead yet...
Posted by: monsoon | January 18, 2008 at 10:32 PM
The show is over, and it was a SMASHING SUCCESS. Eat your hearts out, naysayers.
Posted by: Bob | January 18, 2008 at 11:01 PM
Bob, again I say...I am glad to have seen David Hyde Pierce in the role. No heart need to be eaten here. No one can replace HIM.

Is this some sort of early April Fool's joke?
Posted by: This Won't Hurt A Bit | January 19, 2008 at 06:36 PM
Looks like we've got a troll named Bob. Would it be best to insult his looks, his spelling and grammar, his ancestry, his taste in music, and what BOB stands for, or should we just ignore him?
