Oh. My. God. It’s. Just. Too. Much. It’s like watching “Community” mixed with “Schits/z Creek” mashed in with “Parks and Rec”. I cannot unsee all of the mullets that I just saw. 🫥🫥🫥🫥
These deaths are in a way all the more terrible because one is waiting for them, waiting for the last 4 years or so. Waiting, waiting.... My condolences.
When the opera ends, the public starts applauding. So far, nothing surprising. 5 minutes. 15 minutes. 47 minutes. The fat lady goes in and out several times, many reverences, gets many flowers, people keep applauding, and crying of happiness, heart-felt admiration, some men in the audience start throwing compliments, that's the only moment they are allowed to catcall like satyrs because other people are too busy with the applause routine and the religious experience. 60 minutes. The Minister of the Interior begins to summon the Roman Police in case there is a coup. 70 minutes, no Italian accepts to be the first uncouth ingrate who stops applauding. A competition is on! Probably the applause is more entertaining than the opera itself. No Italian considers the obvious contradiction of offering so much noise and chaos in payment for beautiful music and a divine experience. We approach 80 minutes. Italians begin to invent excuses. Honor is at risk, so a good lie is absolutely necessary. This has to stop. The police is getting nervous and the Minister is considering giving orders to rompere i coglioni if the applause fanatics don't dissolve by 3 am.
Yes, people need magic in their lives and the feeling of transcendence
At a concert in London some 25 yrs ago, a then young and now famous pianist got carried away and gave encore after encore of Bach, for sheer pleasure, a truly magical moment. But I saw that some in the audience were annoyed, it was disrupting their schedule, the convention of some polite applause and then off to dinner.
Brits can be shockingly cold towards their relations, with little concept of a wider family, I agree. But the generosity is there, especially to old friends: quiet, warm and unobtrusive but very genuine.
And on the whole, they are the people I'd rather be in a trench with in a last stand - or so I thought before witnessing the callous corruption and conformism of 2020 to present, and the behaviour of all the creeps involved in the censorship and cover-ups.
Before meeting my end in that trench, however, I'd like to talk and drink with the Irish - although I've found them to be somewhat fickle and treacherous.
I've hear sometimes the Irish are a lot like Spaniards in many aspects, and the most cited one is the infighting. A tendency towards fratricide, even. Here's a comedy example: Tom Leherer Irish Ballad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47bKTtIwrO4
Although all that is most likely British propaganda and envy: food is way better in Ireland and in Spain.
How amazing. I've seen performances where the audience keeps applauding in order to have someone come out and sing another song. But then after one or more encores it will die down. Some kind of communication between audience and performers says when there have been enough encores.
Remember when they had the name WWF stripped due to the World Wildlife Federation contesting the name?
You have to love the World Wrestling Federation's response. "We are now the WWE, get the F Out!" I don't even know what WWE stands for but their response was epic.
The offer of free donuts was perfectly judged for that demographic. Just perfectly. Again, I take my hat off to the Planners and their minions. Behavioural Science, a noble study!
NFL games are not rigged!

Another sudden unexpected death in my circle….62, fit, gone….just like that. I’ll need another hand to keep tallying the carnage on cardiac arrests.
I'm so sorry, Laura.

Reminds me to Opera.
Some started a stupid tradition of long applause.

Italy has a family/pride culture, and England has a clock/greed culture. The Brits in general don't love generosity or spontaneity.

Mango ceasar wwe appearance would pair nicely with this clip. Like prime rib and a nice malbec.
"WWE product" 🤣
Also, it was later found out that Mr. It's Real to Me was on the payroll. Layers upon layers.
Oh....needs link on this development! 😅
I mean, audience plants must be the worlds second oldest profession?
Ha ha!
Reminds me of those weepy Garden Gnome Headwinds clips.
😅
I'm just making shit up. But I bet it's true!
Why did the crying audience member make me break out in laughter? He was hilarious.

E = Entertainment now.
But, yes, I remember all of that crap with the WWF!
That crying fan is a metaphor for our current culture. Kayfabe culture. Kayfabe president. Kayfabe cabinet. Universal Kayfabe. Ugh!
If that’s entertainment, then its no wonder they queued up in parking lots for “shots & donuts”.
What a doomed race that lot are.
The offer of free donuts was perfectly judged for that demographic. Just perfectly. Again, I take my hat off to the Planners and their minions. Behavioural Science, a noble study!
NFL, WWE, NBA, and MLB, (is that what baseball is called?), has been rigged since the 1970s, if not before.
But 2 minutes was more than enough.
