I woke up today with a splitting headache-- I don't think I can blame it on the moustache.
But don't worry, I'll try.
I've been getting involved with my son's PTA, and today was the first meeting for the yearbook, which I somehow managed to say I would be part of. I can use InDesign, I sold ads for my high school yearbook, and I wanted to get involved.
People are generally thrilled that I'm involved, although when they found out I was a professional clown, they immediately wanted me to be Santa for the Holiday party. I've never been Santa before, and I'm trying to shed weight, not gain it. I tried a few excuses (It's against my religion, I may not be here, and I'm allergic) I think they got the idea. They are going to give me a few more days to come up with better excuses. Hopefully I can think of some.
The strongest is that the only time I ever did play Santa, I did it as a drunk and disorderly Santa Puppet for Big Nazo. It was set at a former brothel turned music club, and Santa lands in the middle of the set, wondering where the girls are. This also involved a rather brilliant bit involving the fact that Rudolph was unavailable, and in his place his cousin, Adolph, the Racially Pure Reindeer was showing the way-- but he didn't want to have a red nose, but a white one instead. He ends up frothing at the mouth and has to be put down.
Chew on that, kids! (and he's got a pretty good moustache, too!)
