you gotta have a gimmick

last nite i went to see gypsy on broadway, and it was awesome. i've seen it before once with bernadette peters and once with tyne dayley; but with patty lupone it was wonderful. the entire cast was fantastic. there are so many great lines; but when rose says, "i was born too soon and started too late" it just makes you think of everything you've ever wanted. food and drink are alot like that. you come around at just the right time and you make the kind of mark in history that goes down in the record books. tapas, meatloaf, roasted garlic, bearnaise sauce, dates wrapped in bacon, or as rose always fancied, chow mein...anyway, you get the idea. it might just be a comfort food or just something that's unusual or new... a gimmick. just that right twist of flavors. everything that catches on has that, has IT! at least to one other website, this one has it. I'VE BEEN LINKED!!! please visit uramember.com its existentialism served in big heaping spoonfuls, blue plate specials to mull over, and over, and over; and desserts, just and otherwise: but only you can tell. wash it down with your poison of choice. and your own life? well, do something with it, be unique, find your own gimmick, serve it up and remember that the only one that has to enjoy it is you. make it a heaping helping. as auntie mame said, "life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving!" another broadway show, i know; but i am, after all, a card carrying member of the 10%. a cliche? maybe. you don't approve? fuck yourself! this is my dish, and i'm gonna eat it all up with gusto!
