Los Angeles Times:- THEATER REVIEW
South Bay's 'Oliver!' marshals its forces
By Daryl H. Miller, Times Staff Writer
Enrollment is booming at Fagin's school for pint-size pickpockets. A whopping 31 boys and girls scramble about the premises as Civic Light Opera of South Bay Cities stages "Oliver!" They're part of a cast of 55, accompanied by an orchestra of 17. Big, big, big - that's the hallmark of this production, which impresses through sheer force of will even if its artistry is scattershot.
Straight away, director-choreographer Jon Engstrom deploys the kids well by using their number to emphasize the conditions chronicled by Charles Dickens in his late-1830s serialized story "Oliver Twist," the basis for Lionel Bart's 1960 musical. The line seems never to end as orphans, dirt-smeared, clothes in tatters, trudge to their seats in a workhouse dining hall.
See? See? That's my dirt-smeared, tattered orphan in the endless line that he's talkin' about. It's all up from here, baybee.

Cool. It's time to start absconding with his earnings, so that he can emancipate at a young age and start working on his criminal record, like any true child star.  |

There is a new curling facility being built not far from the Manor. I'm going to the introductory clinics and am leaning toward signing up for a novice league to give it a try. There will also be two sheets of hockey ice so maybe I'll do Chicks With Sticks instead.
I don't expect the snack bar to sell tapir testicles. |

The best bang is a double Chopin on the rocks. Given a weekend and endless supplies, Hemingway couldn't craft a more effective and tasty drink.

Good times.

Why not just drink it straight out of the frozen bottle then?

curling is the spin class of Canada. You should see the shoes the guys wear.

I keep a bottle frozen at all times at home, and occasionally hit it that way. Sadly, there are no "swigging" bars near me which allow the public such comforts. I can't say I'm not glad of that.

not to be a timmy, but I believe you mean you keep it at a temperature which would freeze water. The vodka isn't frozen I bet.

Solution? join the Hell's Angels MC. Although they may kick you ass if you only drink Chopin and pass on VO.

maybe this is a tribute to PPNYC's posting style, but it seems a bit contradictory to your last sentence.
