"[The play starts in the dark.]
Scene: … CAVALE has kidnapped SLIM off the streets with an old .45. (She wants to make him into a rock-and-roll star, but they fall in love. We find them after one too many mornings. They’re both mean as snakes. SLIM is charging around screaming words; CAVALE is rummaging through junk, yelling with a cracked throat. The lights come up on them in this state.)" — Nov 23, 2014 08:26AM

The Texan asked, “Why in the world are the stock‐market guru brains so much more expensive or valuable than those of doctors or lawyers?” And the doctor replied, “Do you have any idea how many gurus it takes to get an ounce of brain?”" — Dec 07, 2014 07:31PM
