Gall bladder. For tiny haggis.

Is this a case of "Physician, conceal thyself"...?

POP is different. Quite. Gilbert and Sullivan are lyrical geniuses. And
the show's a hoot, too. Kevin Kline, Linda Ronstadt, and Angela Landsbury
delivered stellar vocal performances in the 1983 Broadway production; it's
available on video. Highly recommended.

Oh, I liked that part of it. It's the almost religious following that "To
Dream the Impossible Dream" brings, that makes the play icky for such a
cynical goob as I.

This is new to me. Within the past couple'a weeks, I've heard references to
Al Gore "inventing" the Internet. What gives? Did he actually lay claim to
that dubious title? Did Tipper put him up to it as part of some dark,
fascist ploy?
