Not coming to Broadway this season…

When you've got friends like mine...

Last Tuesday, we speculated about creating a new musical called The Little Merman, about a brassy Broadway belter who makes a bargain with a wicked queen to give up her big, big voice, in the hope of winning the love of a handsome prince named Ernest. (Hey, it couldn't be worse than what's on stage at the Lunt-Fontaine just now.)

Earlier today—and entirely sober, mind—we envisioned a musical set in a dystopian world where an evil monopolist named Cladwell sends a robotic Officer Lockstock back in time to kill a young boy named Bobby before he can grow up to foment a revolution against pay toilets. We call this one Urinator: The Josephine Strong Chronicles.

Of course, that's assuming the protocol Skynet uses is IP.

• This is about eight different kinds of wrong, but it's at least a couple of kinds of funny: United 300 or What happens when the Spartans play air marshalls? (Everybody loves a muscle boy!)
  
• A remarkably comprehensive site dedicated to the British police box, otherwise known as the most famous TARDIS disguise in all of time.
