The picture that was in the Clarkson Integrator
And the prize for gayest costume goes to...
As shown, the father-son relationship developed in the play was a bitter feud, often ending in bloodshed.
The scene in which Prince Dauntless sat on the Queen's lap came not from an artistic vision the director had, but from weeks of petitioning and lobbying on Niki's part.

You can tell by the expression on my face that I have severed all mental contact from my body and "in my happy place."
(That, and Manny told me this was the last time I'de have to touch her. Just kidding Amy!!!)

Here's the orchestra that tried to keep time with my god awful counting.
