Here you go, Charles. The beginning of a series of videos of Nunsense.

This is a prelude, obviously not done in the original Broadway show, as the 52 sisters all settle down to a nice dinner of vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia, Child of God.

Very brief. Run time, 1:32 (minutes:seconds)

Cast: Reverend Mother Sister Mary Regina: Rue McClanahan (of Golden Girls fame. After seeing her play a rampant slut on Golden Girls, it's rather fun to see her as a rigid, prudish Reverend Mother.)

Sister Mary Hubert, mistress of the novices, second in command after Reverend Mother Sister Mary Regina: Terri White

Sister Mary Robert Anne: Christine Anderson

Sister Mary Amnesia: Semina De Laurentis (As you might have guessed, Amnesia is not her name, but a name that the convent has given her, due to her affliction. She was hit on the head by a crucifix and isn't even aware of who she is, or her real name. It's never adequately explained why no one else seems to know who she is, either.)

Sister Mary Leo: Christine Toy (Novice, aspires to become a ballerina.)

It's rather interesting, considering this convent still wears habits, how they go about helping the audience distinguish the characters from one another.

Reverend Mother, as head of the convent, has more accessories.

Sister Leo, as a novice wears a white veil (and is Asian).

Sister Hubert is black.

Sisters Robert Ann and Amnesia are both white. They are distinguished by the fact that Amnesia is vertically challenged.

Enjoy!

Oh, I forgot to mention, the person who posted this video has posted the entire show piecemeal. And for your convenience, they are numbered. Simply click on the owners name for the next one. Or just do a search for "Nunsense 2," "Nunsense 3," etc. If you really want to narrow it down, you could throw in Rue McClanahan into the search. Number 17 might appear to be missing, but it's there.

It's just labeled as plain "Nunsense."

I'm not sure if I'm reading this right or not, but apparently Bradley Manning wants to make a big change, and his lawyer hopes Fort Leavenworth will accomodate him, at least a little.

a musical piggy, the Titanic, and a song no one can remember.

Well, since Manning is going to spend the next 35 years of his life being someone's girlfriend, I guess he figured he'd go all the way.

Did I mention I have no sympathy for him whatsoever? To quote Dale Wasserman's, Joe Darian's and Mitch Leigh's "Man of La Mancha," "I dislike stupidity, especially when it masquerades as virtue."

Is it really that hard to find white people on a normal dating site?

28% of Louisiana voters blame Bush for the slow response to Hurricane Katrina.

29% blame Obama!

Well, I am very disappointed in Obama for the slow response to Hurricane Katrina. Four years before he took office.

(Must be a lot of Louisiana voters on this blog.)

In case anyone has forgotten exactly what was revealed by Manning:

Frankly, I couldn't give a half a damn about what the guy does in the sack. Irrelevant and none of my business - and it smells of character assassination by a compliant media.

Hey thanks! Patrick. That link is the perfect starting point.

I just got up to the part about putting on the show "Vaseline" (really it is Grease). Like I said, I like bad puns.

They are all good; but, you're right, Rue McClanahan is fun to watch in this role. And the way they say "Sister Julia, Child of God" is hysterical.

Thanks! I so want to see this show live now.

Keep watching, Charles, there's more horrible puns in the works. For instance, Sister Mary Amnesia does a number early in the show. Note the name of the puppet she uses. It starts a little bit slow, but it definitely picks up. Rue McClanahan has a hilarious bit when she learns from Sister Robert Anne that one of the students has a very serious problem...you'll see.

By the way, despite the fact that they're using a perfect set for the musical "Grease," they manage to use every set piece and prop as the show reaches its conclusion.

The thing I find funny about the Manning trial, is he was charged with treason for confirming what many people already suspected, and a few things that already had alternative confirmation, and basically the fact that the US government was lying its fucking ass off.

Meanwhile Hassan killed solders to protect Taliban fighters in Iraq and Afghanistan, and he is specifically barred from saying in court what he said to investigators so the government can AVOID charging him with treason
