It’s cliché to reinterpret a show like that to make the main character gay, and 9 times out of 10 it’s stupid. But in MFL, I think it’s an improvement.

"Confirmed bachelors" should always set off an alarm.

Not to mention, “why can’t a woman be more like a man?”

(Or for that matter, “Pickering and I are at it from morning till night.”)

I’ll give the movie credit on this one. The movie provided several hints. I’m pretty sure it was not intended by Lerner and Loewe.

True.....but in the end it seems as if she has captivated him and he wants her to be with him.

although their relationship is not clearly romantic. He’s a misogynistic jerk who is transformed by a guttersnipe. I think of “Why can’t a woman” to be more about sexist attitudes about women in an era when they were societally inferior to men. The transformative power of love and all that.

I don't actually think the gay thing totally works.

The intent of the script really is that he’s straight. There’s just an awful lot of interesting suggestions in there.

But for me the script as written doesn’t really work either, so you know, it’s a puzzle with several imperfect answers.

I like it pretty well

When I signed up there was a deal for $150 cash back. But apparently I didn’t read the fine print, and I didn’t think to confirm I was getting it, so instead I got a coupon for $75 back that had to be activated online…..it didn’t work with my browser and by the time I remembered to bring the coupon to my office and try a different one, it had expired. So that sucked. But the service has been fine, the installation is free. I have internet and phone and it’s all pretty good although there’s a bit of a hum on the phone line sometimes. I was surprised to find that all the Comcast sports channels are available on it, which would have been the main reason to stay with Comcast.

As an A’s/Sharks fan, all I can say is…

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

The Phillies are in trouble in the playoffs if they can’t rely on their bullpen….Playoff games are usually close and you really need to have a bullpen that can close it out. Tyler Walker looked terrible on Monday night and they can’t depend on Lidge at this point. I was just a casual observer at the game with no real interest in the winer or loser so it was cool to be a part of the celebration though…
