The sketches you post here are so much better than the corporate rubbish that pases for entertainment these days.<br /><br />Best wishes.Jack G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11582354325563283998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-4497343987667064212009-07-28T14:39:25.627-07:002009-07-28T14:39:25.627-07:00Good luck anyway!Good luck anyway!Zoran Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257217002413486395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-87364528947165160602009-07-28T10:12:56.831-07:002009-07-28T10:12:56.831-07:00"I'm going to get laid-off in a week.&quo..."I'm going to get laid-off in a week."<br /><br />Yikes!

Thanks for mentioning it here. It's worth seeing!<br /><br />Matt: Thanks for the kind words! 'Hope you're doing well!<br /><br />Oscar: I merged your comment with the article. I only meant the revue clips to be one example of the humor I was talking about. It's also, in a more subtle but profound way, in the Baneneon clip that Denise recommended. <br /><br />Tango is a dance that was humorous in its infancy, so it doesn't seem out of line to think of ways to have fun with it. I do however, bow to the zeal of Argentines to keep the dance pure and vital, generation after generation.<br /><br />Jack: Hmmmm, I have to run to work, but I'll look that up when I get back.<br /><br />Craig: I love that film.
