I was gonna sing a duet with you too..... :(
Modern Major General isn't really a duet. But we could do something else. Do you know the Mikado?

There is Beauty in the Bellow of the Blast?

or, if we could grab someone else, Three Little Maids From School are We.

You haven't lived until you seen Three Little Maids peformed by two male "maids" and one maid in her 50's. :lol:

Except, traditionally, the three little maids were played by men (like every other character in traditional noh theatre, I thought), as I recall. So, it's really just weird that they let a woman play one...

Although, I may be mistaking my theatrical tropes and traditions...not an entertainment method I'm overly familiar with...

Traditionally, the Mikado is an English Comedic Opera first performed in 1885. So not really noh theatre at all. ;)

Now, I couldn't say anything as the gender of the stage performers then, but (Wikipedia states women even for the original productions) it's still normally played by three young(ish) ladies in all modern productions.

No, you fixed it for you. Thus, in that post you should've been "me", so, you should've acronymized FIFM, referring to "me", being you, not you, being me.
Ah, but you see, in this case, the Y, signifying you, sometimes stated as U, much to the disgust of me, and hopefully you, is used to denote the fact that I, in the act of doing a favor for you, have fixed the statement for you, saving you the trouble of doing it yourself. Thus, the I is understood, but not stated in the sentence 'I have fixed it for you', which is then abbreviated and acronymized to FIFY.

Good to know...I've never had enough curiousity to actually find out more about that, due to a consumate lack of interest. Thus, my cat did not have to die for the knowledge of English Comedic Opera.

Well, then I guess the only thing funnier than 2 men and an old lady would be the three old lady version from Magnum, P.I., back in the day...

Except it wasn't a favor to me, it was a preference of yours, since I still think to be sanitary, you need to boil the raw vegan. Thus, since I neither wanted nor needed any fixing of my statement, the end purpose is not to fix it for me, but merely to rebut my statement with a subjective reality of your own which will eventually lead to madness and despair (and possibly E. Coli poisoning), thus, you fixed it for you, which at the time, you would've been me, which should've been acronymized to FIFM.
