i was on stage last night, i lifted my cap, jauntily, i might add.

and said into mic:

"i shaved my head... doooo you like?"

of course, i got the perfunctory applause and woo's.

because people are basically kind, E.

but then i said,

"really? i think i look a little like yul brenner"

and then i delivered the only yul line that i know:

"WHO IS THIS MOSES WITH HIS ONE GOD???!!"

nobody laughed.

i mean, some did.

but it was an E. moment.

brynner.

11:07am E

that's beautiful. truly. and gay. and how is that an E. moment?

11:07amJohn

oh you know...

any time i make an obscure reference in some lame attempt at humor that nobody really gets, i think "E. would laugh at this"

E

ha!

that's truly flattering

you know what the first yul brynner line was that i thought of?

11:13amJohn

E

"I'm Yul Brynner, and I'm dead now."

11:13amJohn

What movie was that from?

11:14am E

from the anti-smoking commercial that came out right after he died

he filmed it before his death, with the express purpose of having the ad run after he died
