I enjoyed Sweeney Todd very much. My only complaint was this very loud sound they made at the change of every scene. It was ear-splitting. The orchestra did a fine job as did the actors.
A guy I knew in highschool had a job as a dockmaster. He was talking to someone on the phone and that person heard a splash. He had a sudden seizure, with no history of it, fell in the water and drowned because no one was around to pull him out.
A Catbid is compound word. A bid by a catbird to get people to gather and drink a mixture of boiled grain with flowers from a climbing vine and fermented by a microorganism that is known for producing CH3H2OH as a waste product.
Yes, you are probably right about that. There is a key snag that one needs to rap from that most likely would be buried in a big snow year. It seems that the gully is the way to go in winter.
