One Less Mime

Postby BladeRaptor » Mon Sep 24, 2007 3:37 am

A mighty blow has been struck against the scourge that is mime-dom.

Marcel Marceau, famed French mime, dies.
PARIS - Marcel Marceau, whose lithe gestures and pliant facial expressions revived the art of mime and brought poetry to silence, died Saturday. He was 84.
But seriously, while I am not personally familiar with his work, his influence is undeniable. I had no idea about his involvement in the French Resistance in WWII until I read the article. He will be missed.
It is a mistake to fancy that horror is associated inextricably with darkness, silence, and solitude. I found it in the glare of midafternoon, in the clangour of a metropolis...

It's not like he needs another moment of silence, though.
Furries? Are they the nutters that pretend to be animals and draw humans that look like animals? Christ, I sink my head into my paws... -Rooster

Results 1 - 10 of about 78,500 for "mort aux vaches". (0.14 seconds)
Your search - "mort aux mimes" - did not match any documents.
Mime-hate must be a purely American thing... either that or the French just really, really love mimes (and really, really hate cops).

That's why rioting is the French national pastime.
