WARNING:  THE FOLLOWING PIECE HAS BEEN RATED "A DANGER TO ALL AMERICANS" =
BY BILL KRISTOL.  HE SHOULD KNOW

MIKE:(English accent) Greetings and salutations friends, fans, Fred, =
former lovers, and folks who wished we'd die at the hands of an angry =
Roy Berko.  Well, fall has officially shot it's multi-colored, chilly =
load over us all, and we know what that means.

IKE:(Southern accent) The tv networks are premiering a whole new buncha =
shows we can ignore.

M:  Christmas decorations are going up.

I:  And movies are gettin' I.Q.'s again.

M:  So it's time for us to head back to the theatre.

I:  Now, unfortunately, unlike last year, this has not been a play free =
summer.  Can't lie, The Hulk was painful.  Summer movies are supposed to =
be loud, colorful, and pointless, not greek tragedies starring people =
with thyroid problems!  Actually had to see a couple of plays to remind =
me why I love crap  and restore my faith in the summer entertainment =
industry.

M:  And so, ladies and gentlemen, we now present "The Mike and Ike =
Report:  What We Did on Our Summer Vacation."

I:  And to make things a little more interestin,' we have decided to =
present these reviews in the ancient art of Haiku.  Enjoy.

Cain't Park's "Bat Boy"

A feral monster
Turns British, gay, and then dies
Best show of the year

The Lion King

Lots of money spent
Advertising does it's job
Crap that looks brilliant

Near West Theatre's "Jesus Christ Superstar"

Torn clothes and make up
Teens with big Mardi Gras hats
Pilate was a chick

Kent Stage Player's "As You Like It"

Shakespeare had this thing
Men, playing women, cross dress
The man had issues

Near West Theatre's "Hercules vs. Godzilla"

Kids, pop songs, and myths
Death belts out "I Will Survive"
We say "What the hell?"

The Mike and Ike Cavalcade of Whimsy and Enchantment

We gave it a shot
Lack of public interest
We died a bad death
