You can't get a man with a gun.

But give me an Ak-47 and I'll have a damn good try. *tee hee*

This week I have been mostly fucking knackered doing my day job and working in the evenings on a production of Annie Get Your Gun. Tiring and boring seeing the same musical again and again (8 times in total) but we found fun where we could, making rude jokes and finding innuendo in the script wherever possible. So we've discovered a new euphemism for masturbation, "Tossing an expensive wing-ding." talked at length about that "Swollen-headed stiff." and cheered when Annie blew the head off a cock. I never knew musicals were so naughty.

I've always got AGYG confused with Calamity Jane, thinking they were pretty much the same. Not so. Annie is based on the true story of Annie Oakley who toured with Frank Butler and Buffalo Bill with a wild west show round the US and Europe. Whoever wrote the musical took some artistic licence though. In the show Annie is discovered, meets Frank, gets roped in to Buffalo Bill's show, vies with Frank for top billing but everything ends with them equal. In reality Annie and Frank were already married before they met BB and Frank ended up as Annie's assistant and manager.

Calamity Jane is a whole different kettle of fish. CJ basically journeys from one side of the US to the other to pick up a famous actress & take her back home only to pick up the wrong woman who then steals Annie's man from her. In a nutshell anyway. So now you know.

I'm going to be singing the songs for weeks. By far my favourite song was the title of this post. A catchy ditty which I can see myself singing in karaoke eventually. Or at least attempting to.

I've just about recovered now, catching up on sleep and spending my spare time catching up on various programmes I've Sky+ed recently. I'm still enjoying Ugly Betty immensely and there's plenty of totty for me to admire. The actress who plays the bitchy Amanda, Rebecca Romjin (or whatever her name is), Lucy Liu, Salma Hayek and Gina Gershon is fab as Fabia. I'm even thinking Ashley Jensen is quite cute. But then I've been watching Primeval and enjoying the sight of Hannah Spearit in her pants. Is that wrong?

I'm still upset I totally missed Primeval and therefore the sight of Hannah in her pants.

The question is, is it worth selling out for the box-set just for that?

PS. Of course I'm more evil than you. I can do a much betterer evil laugh. Bwa-ha-ha-etc.

I completely missed Primeval too.
Was it any good? I heard SUCH mixed reports.

Not sure that Hannah Spearitt ever really did that much for me actually. Now, Freema Agyeman in her pants... ;-)

Well I quite enjoyed it but then I find it very easy to suspend my disbelief at things and just enjoy them. I'm not one for going through an ep saying, "Well that was wrong, that was inaccurate, that didn't work etc.."
