all work and no play
Lower floor swept. Laundry done. AdminLaw reading done, Constit halfway done.
Taking a break.
Here's a Frantics (?) skit that I've always loved, and which I won't be showing the kids any time soon ;)
Announcer: It's "Architecture Today," with Vance Morley.
Vince: (hyper-chipper interviewing voice) Hello! and welcome to "Architecture Today". Today on "Architecture Today" we'll be looking at some great architecture of yesterday, forecasting some fabulous architecture of tomorrow, and of course, examining the monumental architecture today!
My first guest today, on "Architecture Today", is Wallace Munroe, one of a team of architects who worked together to design and create that monolith of communications, the world's largest free standing structure, and the incredible, and by incredible, I mean fabulous, and by fabulous, I'm really overstating my whole case, the incredibly! fabulous CN Tower in Toronto, Wallace!
Wallace: Vince.
Vince: Wallace!
Wallace: Vince.
Vince: Wallace! Now, the CN Tower is truly one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and yet by Seven Wonders of the World, we mean any one of an unlimited quantity of things in place that happen to impress me at any given moment, and! I'm wondering as I'm speaking to you, and on my question sheet here I'm wondering, what was your inspiration to erect the fabulous, and I'm not just saying fabulous, I'm actually salivating ::slurp!:: at the same time! what was your inspiration to build the fabulous CN Tower?
Wallace: A big dick.
Vince: Fabulous! Fabulous, now, and when we're talking about popular success in terms of attendan – a what?
Wallace: You know, a wang so big that even Rochester would get off on it?
Vince: I see. Um, what did the people at CN think of this?
Wallace: Oh they loved it! They're into symbolism.
Vince: Uh, s-s-s-symbolism?
Wallace: Well, you know, CN, Canadian National Railways? Trains into tunnels?
Vince: Uh, uh, trains.
Wallace: Trains. Big. Long. Hard, steaming locomotives, going into tight, wet, dark, [Vince: oh] mossy tunnels [uh], with the pistons banging [uh, uh] and the engines groaning [uh, uh] and the rails ssqueeealing [ooooh, Lor-], CHUgga chugga chugga chugga [oh oh], CHUgga chugga chugga chugga- [oh, oh-]
Vince: Oh! yes, yes, yes, uh, but, Wallace! Wallace! Yoo-hoo, Wallace! (a little desperately) But, in terms of multiplicity of uses, we just have to admire the fabulous revolving restaurant high atop the Tower-
Wallace: They eat at the top!
Vince: Oh god-
Wallace: Hundreds of hungry jaws [oh!] working away [mmm], they eat right around the edge for an hour [oooh]! Oh! It's excruciating!
Vince: Oh, um, um, hey hey hey - hey, hey! (very desperately) How about all those people who jumped off the Tower wearing a parachute, I thought they'd get-
Wallace: Sperm!
Vince: Oh god!!
Wallace: Millions of sperms [oh!], like the radio [oh!] beacon [beacon!] sending out wave upon wave [waves!] of energy, pulsing, [puls-] throbbing [oh!], waves of need, yes, yes, spreading out around the Tower [oh!], getting into [oh!] women's hair [Oh!]! Into women's clothing [OH!]! All over! Oh, oh, I wanted to call it the Se-MEN Tower [uh!!], but they! [uh!] wouldn't! [uh!] let! m-m-m-meeeee! [both: AAAaaaaoooohh….]
::pause::
::pant, pant, pant::
Vince: Thank you, Wallace.
Wallace: Smoke, Vince?
Vince: Love one.
