Now Is the End

According to the calculations of an American Tele-evangelist the world is going to end later today. Apparently, like New Year's Eve celebrations, its going to happen time zone by time zone at 6 PM local time starting somewhere between Pago Pago, American Samoa, and Nuku'alofa, Tonga. To celebrate (if that's the word I'm looking for?) I thought I'd post this little gem from Beyond the Fringe.



Considering they did this back in 1962 its taken a bit of time for them to hit a winner!

Lunedi Lunacy

The inspired madness of Beyond The Fringe (1964) let lose on the world a foursome of talented men: Comedian-Actor-Pianist Dudley Moore, Comedian-Actor Peter Cook, Director-Writer Jonathan Miller and Playwright-Author-Actor Alan Bennett.



This has always been one of my favorites: Bennett is spot on. Though they were, god help us, often 4 times as long, I endured sermons like this during my years as a member of the Anglican Communion.
