You Belong in the Silent Generation



You fit in best with people born between 1925 and 1942.

You are a person of high values and character.

Family, your country, loyalty, and hard work all important to you.

You are willing to do what's right, even when it's difficult.



Uhm. Yeah. Good thing I like the 20's?

I'm going out now and seeing a play. I'm tired and exuasted and sad, and I figure some comedy will cheer me up. Or kill me. I'm hoping for the former.

Tragedy Tommorow, it's Comedy To-night!

I came back from "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." Which succeeds very well as a parody of Plautus and the rest of New Comedy's plays. The main couple was beautiful but dumb as a box of rocks.

Which was par for the course for the girl in question, in New Comedy. "Bimbo" is the kind term.

The slaves were the smartest people in the entire play, the son and father falling for the same girl, there was cross dressing, and five mistaken identities, and the problem was solved by the slave girl being the long lost daughter of a rich neighbor.

And Sondhim and Co. cut out the really horrendous bits of New Comedy. Which, seriously, yay!
