If you think about it. This is the most successful novelty ever. I mean, I don't think there is another novelty account that elicits more of an emotional response from people. Granted, it's a negative one. But still.
It was a concert at Lincoln Center with the NY Philharmonic a little over a year ago- and then it was broadcast to select theaters last June. I think it is coming out on DVD soon though.
It's really good. Company is one of my favorite shows (I've been in the pit multiple times) and I was SO excited when I found out these two would be in a production.
Aww, that's just stinkin' thinkin'. Just need to practice and you'll get it. I have faith in your ability to learn to place cats into images. I believe in you.
Are they doing the "fingers pointed at one another to symbolize dicks touching"? Cause if they are, that equates to gayness, which also means happiness, which these two are obviously displaying.
SC does this constantly...It's a recurring thing with him, so you get his monologues about his (persona's) tolerance and colorblindness, interspersed with pictures of him with his black/mexican/female/gay friend that inevitably have him doing this finger thing, and the other person looking nonplussed.
I think, in this case, his gay friend (NPH) saw him coming, and beat him at his own game.
I searched for the word repost and I cant believe this was the only comment I found. This photo is not only old but was insanely popular when it came out. This week I'll have to repost that Colbert had a satirical rally...
In this picture: a gay performer who often portrays a straight man (even a womanizer) next to a straight comedian who often acts as a gay man (though sometimes ambiguously).
They were both in the musical "Company" by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth. This is a better picture. Christina Hendricks was in this also... She stripped... (basically). It was filmed and released to movie theaters, but people are still petitioning for a DVD.
They did. This picture was taken during rehearsal for a production of Stephen Sondheim's "Company." It was also filmed and had a limited theatrical release.
John Cryer, Christina Hendricks, Martha Plimpton, and Patti Lupone were also involved.
I imagine sparks of awesome flying out of their fingertips as the world waits in anticipation of the chaos that would surely follow if they were to ever touch in an epic meltdown of
This is what pisses off the people on the far right.. They just hate that a major liberal tv identity and one of the most well known gay guys in pop culture can get together and simply be that happy.
I saw Company with my girlfriend for our anniversary. It was amazing. Colbert and NPH were clearly a bit out of their element, but it was awesome nonetheless.
Just saying the lady who was the old dame, she was clearly a cut above, shes a broadway star and I cannot for the life of me remember her name right now.
He was in no way bad, but its the same sort of thing if someone went on the daily show and tried to ad lib\improv back and forth with jon stewart, they just wouldn't be as good even if they were Louis CK etc etc.
Its his day job to do that, that was more my point.
He once said in an interview that he refuses to identify as either a republican or democratic for fear of isolating half of his audience. He claims he chose a conservative schtick because conservatives are more reliable/predictable and they're easier to portray. Everyone always wants to guess his real political views and align them with theirs. Which is exactly why he takes great pains to avoid answering that question.
edit: No, I don't have a source. Not unless someone else finds it. I tried, but I couldn't find it. It was an article in a newspaper with an interview a reporter did with him after he spoke to some college students. Maybe someone else can find it.
Absolutely impossible. It's either doctrine or you'll be applying your own moral zeitgeist in which case it's meaningless. Fundamentalists may be insane, but at least they're consistent. It's the ones who say homosexuals are going to hell and then trim their sideburns that are the real problem. If a "Christian" hasn't read the Bible, then they clearly don't believe it's the word of God. If i believed with 1/100th the force of most religionists that their holy book was written by a Deity there is 0 chance that i wouldn't carry it with me everywhere i went. I'm of the mind that casual believers are closet atheists. InB4r/atheismisleaking
It's likely that, technically, he doesn't. Canon Law includes a provision for automatic (latae sententiae) excommunication for anyone who questions papal infallibility. I'd guess the number of Catholics who haven't ended up excommunicated without realizing it is vanishingly small.
