Chris Mills@babyalligator oh, and #PDQBach - there’s nothing like satire and comedy to provide a unique twist on things,
C.Note: slight "#mature" theme here. I'm not applying a CW - when I was a kid, this would have caused a 12-year-old to titter, but kids these days have read and seen far more explicit stuff a thousand times.
So I wanted to post something that wasn't politics, that isn't news or topical. Something amusing, maybe, and something I've not posted before. I happened to be reminded of the novel Singularity Sky by Charles Stross yesterday, which has as #inspiration for part of it the #Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
That reminded me of a Fringe experience of mine. So here it is. It won't make you rich, or smarter, or wiser, but maybe will give you a laugh.
My partner and I went to a tiny Fringe festival in a small town some years ago. It was basically a whistle stop between two cities in western Canada; I have no idea why the touring Fringe would even stop there, but it did, at least some of it.
One of the performances we saw was a version of MacBeth. It was highly #abbreviated, sort of a cross between a Reader's Digest condensed version, and what you would get if P.D.Q. Bach had an English cousin who did Shakespeare.

Algernon D'AmmassaAn excellent find, buried in the back room off Readers' Cove Used Books & Gallery in Deming, N.M. I did not even know this book existed: a 1976 hardcover publication of a “definitive biography of PDQ Bach” by Peter Schickele. It includes illustrations, sheet music, and a combination of satirical musical scholarship with lots of puns and dad jokes.
