   While he may have a very valid point, he still is a douche bag.

   Has a strong odor along the lines of “don’t you know who I am?!?”

   Screw people like that.

   I just became a heeeYUGE Brian Blessed fan.

   “I wouldn’t touch her with yours”. Epic win of Biblical proportions.

   He’s a British guy, in a musical theater production of Aladdin. I’m guessing there are a lot of girls he wouldn’t touch with yours.

   He has a very good point though. Who is Pam Anderson to get to be in a play in London?

   Hurricane, you took words out of my mouth, I absolutely agree with you.

   I don’t know, y’all. Brian Blessed is, IIRC, a fairly respected actor (probably not THE most respected actor in the UK, but wasn’t his Falstaff supposed to have been brilliant, and no, that is not a metaphor?). He has also climbed–or very nearly climbed–Mount Everest. Which, in his case, probably took great strength of will, as he’s not exactly sporting a six-pack. Well, he is, but it’s a LITERAL six-pack. Of KitKats and cheese.

   Poor Pammy. Why couldn’t she have stayed the nature girl she once seemed to be, and not gone the way of the wild skank. Even though she’s laughing all the way to the bank, I wouldn’t want to have done what she’s done in the past, to get where she is now. Or whatever that means.

   Don’t know much about Brian Blessed personally, except that he is one of those higher ranking British thespians, so how the heck they got put together in the same show is amazing.

   Something tells me they signed on Pammy after they signed on Brian Blessed. Poor guy probably thought he was going to work with Emma Thompson or something.

   How does she look like a genie in that outfit? (Unless it is a bottle from the Hefner genie collection.)

    She is probably starring as one of the wench’s on the street corner or something. Please tell me she is not Jasmine.

    Is this like “Nursing Home Aladdin”? She’s like, 250 in skank years, and I thought he was pretty aged himself.

    However, repeating that quote in the Boss Nass voice is making my evening. (Remember Star Wars: Episode I? Yeah, Brian Blessed was Boss Nass . . .) l.o.l.

    Here’s hoping Pammy disappears in a puff of smoke!

    It’s not really a musical theater production, or a play, or anything like that. It’s pantomime. I’m not sure how to describe what that is though to anyone that may not know it.

    Has a fellow Yorkshire man, 5 yrs younger than Blessed, who moved to Canada in 1980 I know Blessed as an actor and I also know pantomime, something that is difficult to describe to Yanks. As a Canadian I think he was being polite. I would have said I would not touch her with yours on the end of a 10 foot barge pole.

    so according to Wiki: An older woman (the pantomime dame – often the hero’s mother) is usually played by a man in drag.
    That explains Pam.

16. 16 Pastafarian Dec 19th, 2009 at 3:57 pm

    Pantomime huh? And here I thought there wasn’t anything gayer than musical theater.

17. 17 TheIrish Dec 20th, 2009 at 12:01 am

    Well, since Pantomine doesn’t appear to actually require any talent in either speaking lines or singing them (you know, what most acting gigs require), I can see how Pammy got the job.

18. 18 The Oversneer Dec 21st, 2009 at 3:39 am

    Hell, I wouldn’t touch Pammy with Bea Arthur’s. And s/he’s dead.

19. 19 Beige Dec 21st, 2009 at 8:04 am

    Watch it, Oversneer. Ain’t nobody available to Heimlich me at this early hour.

    “I wouldn’t touch her with yours.”
    Total, absolute, positive WIN!
