~gulp~

Seems a while since I went "boo" on this list.

Okay firstly all technical writers are boring, and anal retentive, and so
unimaginative that in conversation they make the idea of watching algae grow
an exciting and life changing experience. Writers who are in bed and
Zzzzzzzzzzz-ing after good warm mug of milk by 9pm.

I hear your dismay, I feel your hurt. FOR YOU KNOW IT IS NOT TRUE!!!

And yet how do we show the world the mad zany side of us? When we are
chained to the chairs of industry pumping out version 15ab.1.2 of "Ergonomic
Chairs in the workplace?

How do we show the imagination from which a thousand late white rabbits, and
yellow brick roads, and Camelots can spring? How can we prove we do not fear
the dark?

Why we write something, inventive and creative. Then we force someone to
perform it for us - or if we take complete leave of our senses we perform it
ourselves.........and we put it on at such an hour that all children and
pointed headed bosses are snug in their beds dreaming of Harry Potter or
further cuts to quality support in the form of excellent documentation!!!

Thus it has come to pass..........at 10pm, for the next two weeks, on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, I shall be performing "Saruman the
Pale" at the Trades Hall Council in Carlton (the only fringe venue at which
you can bring your alcoholic beverages purchased at the bar, into the venue
area....not I am sure that such inducement will work on all you sober and
upright citizens...). A performance by the "other" wizard in the Lord of the
Rings, who was so maliciously slandered by those sneaking, treacherous
hobbits. As he exposes how all the hobbits wrote were lies.

regards and thanks if you can make it,
Sean O'Donoghue-Hayes


So if you only see One Fringe show this year in Melbourne, make it Saruman
the Pale. And hear the hobbits get it right between the eyes as the
traitorious vermin they  are.
