what

Dora The Explorer's Broadway show has rotted what's left of my brain.
:(

I hate Dora and all that she explores.

I hate the way she barks, "SAY ________" (whatever the word of the day is)

I never watched shit like that when I was a kid. I think it's making kids dumber.

lol

Dude, it's so much worse live.

On the bright side, I did learn a few words in spanish.
Nothing helpful though.

On the not so bright side, the girl that played the frog stomped on my hands while I was putting her feet on and bent my middle finger in a very unnatural position.
And I can't get those stupid songs out of my head.

I can't find my teddy bear, I can't find my teddy bear!
I've looked and I've looked all around everywhere!

That song is so much more entertaining when you replace "teddy bear" with "underwear".

And Baby Jaguar was in the show, and he/she (it's supposed to be a he, but it was a girl in the costume) did talk!
Baby Jaguar is adorable!!!!

:x

Here's the cast.
I dressed the iguana and the robot from this shot.

See?
Baby Jaguar is cute!

They made me take Spanish in high school because they said it was "unfair" for me to take French. So I took Spanish and Latin and Italian after school and it was all the same damn thing, same pattern, it's just Latin with different accents.

I tested out of Spanish in college and became "the one who can tell you what those people were saying because they assumed she didn't know". Or at least, that's what my mom believes I am. I understand it but I refuse to speak it myself because I think it's obnoxious when people do that in restaurants and stuff.

So I don't need Dora and her shit.

Fun fact- I was hired by my university to teach remedial French. Only one remedial French student ever actually showed up, and I ended up teaching the remedial Spanish people who came instead. Fantastic.

However, my high school spanish classes were an adventure and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Edit: Dora looks like a real go-getter there!

I never learned spanish, I stuck with german.
French was unfair because you knew French? Was that it?

Yeah Dora's butt was too big for her shorts, it was fun watching her climb up and down the ladder at the beginning of the show.

Oh, and Boots the monkey is the ONLY straight guy in the cast.
We bonded over PBR.

Poor Boots.

Yeah, because I have a French name and a French family (although you'd never know it to look at/hear them), I couldn't take French. It was a stupid rule, I knew lots of Hispanic kids who couldn't speak Spanish, who was to say I was any different?

Hahah I think you could sue for that now.
That is pretty ridiculous.
I guess I should be glad my name had been changed twice before high school, or else I may have been banned from german as well!
I had no clue that schools do that kind of thing!

Boots was a good sport, there were some games that all the men (cast and crew, homo and hetero) played backstage. All of which would be considered sexual harrassment anywhere else but the theatre. One was "Bean Dip", a guy would tell another guy that they wanted to talk and when they got close enough they'd slap each other's nipples. Someone made mention that it was sexual harrassment, and they said they didn't report sexual harrassment, they graded it.
C- for a butt slap without a cupped hand and a tushy squeeze.
Boots was a VERY good sport mainly because whenever guys wore a tail in the show (it was attached in a very uncomfortable elastic jockstrap contraption that was said to cut off circulation to a man's favorite and most sensitive body parts), someone would walk behind them and pull the tail, thus dislodging and squeezing said sensitive squishies.

I'm the map! I'm the map!
I'm the map!
I'm the map!
I'm the map!

I dressed the map too!

Was it only one show?

Nope, 3 days, 4 shows a day.

How is Nickelodeon? On a scale compared to Disney.

Theatre people are wonderful, except for the couple of guys who always try to sleep their way through a cast.

lawl @ orange cat w/ blue face

What the fuck is wrong with him

Furries :x

The Nickelodeon people are MUCH better than Disney.
And they tip.

That's a fox, Swiper the Fox to be exact.
He's the bad guy.

Swiper, no Swiping
