Pap Smears, The American Musical and Gummy Bears these are a few of my favorite things....

• A little bit more about myself. I find that many people look at me in stunned wonder. Admittedly these persons have little knowledge of the world as a whole but that would require reading, keeping up on current events and understanding the political system that makes the U.S.A so amazingly great.
  
  This all started with my love of South Park. Yes, I adore South Park. It is a show that is always in very bad taste and rude beyond belief BUT the irony is not lost on me. AIDS, race, age, religion, celebrity they really do not care but the show is honest in its ideas and response to any difficult issue. No one is safe from the four foul mouth children of this oddly animated show! I love it.
  
  Now you would think why would people look at BCarol in stunned wonder? Easy I also adore classical music, Nordstroms, Scooby Doo, opera, jazz, tiaras, good wine, Little Debbie Swiss Rolls, expensive handbags, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Big Lots, The Marx Brothers, Warner Brothers Cartoons, world history, politics and self absorbed trips to the salon.
  
  It occurred to me that I may be slightly off! I am the only person I know who would carry a vintage Louis Vuitton and push a cart at Big Lots at the same time. I really enjoy Big Lots. My own personal challenge to find things I really need and will use at Big Lots. Could this be a possible replacement for a current reality TV show? Louis is rolling no spinning in his grave.
  
  Now humor is another issue I can laugh at almost anything that is witty. I will openly admit that The Tasmanian Devil is not the height of culture but he is a great nemesis for Bugs Bunny. Taz’s best line “Why for you bury me in the cold, cold ground” is without equal. Daffy Duck after finding the pearl in an oyster “I am socially secure” and “I am a wealthy miser”. Talk about brilliant.
  
  Then add a little Groucho “Go, and never darken my towels again”, “I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception” and "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit files like a banana. Simplicity in humor is not easy it is an art and a skill. Mind you the Marx Brothers were physical and immoral but again accomplished. If you have ever tried to be funny on cue you know and understand the skill shown in these movies. A Night at the Opera “everyone knows there is not such thing as a sanity clause”. Ain’t that the truth!
  
  Now add my love of theatre. I am not talking about Oklahoma! and Music Man. I know that many love these productions but honestly I rank them between a pap smear and a root canal. Give me Rent, Bring in 'Da Noise, Bring in 'Da Funk or Sweeny Todd for a musical. A strait play A Man for all Seasons, A Lion in Winter, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, The Iceman Cometh. I know a little heavy but I like my theatre full of angst and mind numbing pain. I am a director and I love anything that requires deep soul searching by an actor. Most of these will cause good actors teeth to hurt.
  
  Instead of running on and on I thought why not make BCarols’ list of what makes her happy! It may also explain the worlds perception of my rather odd tendencies There is no order to this just the ranting of a precariously balanced mind. Anyone who knows me you are ready for Birthday and Christmas!
