That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 23, 2024

When you’re part of the groundlings, you sometimes see more than you want.

Audience watching any production of Cats.

Audience watching the Haley / DeSantis debate

French audience watching an orange faced clown campaigning for president of the United States of America.

Swifties, fifty years from now.

A jury of peers peering.

/// Theater Audience— Watch them engage

with the actors up there on the stage.

When they’d go to a show

they’d bring something to throw,

to express disappointment or rage.

Pictured: Some of the doleful spirits lingering beneath the gravestones in the graveyard of “Spoon River Anthology” (Edgar Lee Masters)

The jury observed (in dismay !)/

While his lawyers described the array/

Of efforts they’d made/

For their work to get paid -

But they still couldn’t get him to pay..

Bored with porn hub.

…but will she float?

When the musical “Hair” opened on Broadway, the nudity really got the audience’s attention.

Waiting for the Taylor Swift sighting at the Chiefs game

’’Isn’t that Charles Nelson Reilly, first row far left?" I’ve got to quit watching re-runs of The Match Game and Hollywood Squares. I should have better things to do…..I should!

Audience watching a Junior Mint falling into an open heart surgery patient.

Which actor volunteered for that?

The audience sat through the performance of the naked actors wearing masks, while eating graham crackers and talking about the meaning of life. No one could say which group was more bizarre – the performers, or the audience!

Watching the New Hampshire Primary Returns.

When the folks at First Methodist Church realized they had made a horrible mistake inviting Judas Priest to sing at their church.

You’re aware of talent you lack/

When the dreaded produce attack/

Comes not from your foes/

(Though you’ve plenty of those-)/

But instead from your very own claque !

Folks at the DMV waiting for their number to be called.

Audience watching claw clipping scene in original Broadway production of Cats.

“That’s not how he played that guitar solo on the album.”

The jury duty system: Ensuring that you are tried by a panel of your peers too dim to get out of jury duty.

He paid extra for the pole seat, apparently.

In a rare wibbly wobbly, timey wimey instance, Dr. #1 is sitting in the audience with his arm around Queen VIctoria, while Dr. #10 is sitting next to Victoria’s daughter & the person in the upper left corner is trying very hard to not blink.

“Wow, that’s going to leave a mark! I don’t think he’ll be doing that again!”

Where is everyone finding that Hawaiian Bud?!? I’ve gotta get me some.

OUCH!

I have added a comment there pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. Only work by him used here so far.

Me…Ow!

the older set watching an orgy and trying to remember what it was like.

All this food around; and nobody has asked if I had any Gray Poupon!

Worst of all- it’s a comedy!

me-ouch!

Aw, nuts!
