Wow, impressive. But when the arms stop waving frantically--which will be in just a minute or two--I think the effect will be more dei>pressing. And then there's the frozen corpse on your front lawn to consider... Seriously, you should be having second thoughts about this.

"All I want to know is, where's the rest of the poor guy whose arms those were?"
Posted by: Vance | January 14, 2008 10:59 AM
If he lives, this will certainly teach him not to get so drunk that you can encase him in a snowman without his coming to. And if he doesn't live... well, let's just say this is looking like a win-win situation.

The Theatre
Openings and Previews
"Let Them Eat Snow" is the tale of an anguished love triangle between Marie Antoinette, her maid Pilar, and a snowman named Francois. With uninspired acting and poorly directed musical numbers, the bland story drags along for nearly two and a half hours. The final scene, in which Marie and Pilar awkwardly sing a duet (Serge Gainsbourg's "Je T'aime") with a guillotine looming overhead was so implausible as to draw muffled bursts of laughter from the small audience.

Teri: Well, it might hurt afterward. But isn't that really what we both wanted, from that very first time we had him on the show?

Wait a minute...doesn't the song about Frosty specify "a stovepipe hat, and a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal"? That's a carrot nose, not a button nose! Remember that visit from "Adolph the Amber-Nosed Reindeer" on Christmas Eve? We thought he was "close enough" to a beloved holiday icon, but the next day, our valuables were missing, our cat was pregnant, and there was anti-Semitic graffiti scrawled on our garage door. Tell you what, you boil a big kettleful of water and we'll put the kibosh on "Fraudy the Snowman" faster than you can say "old silk hat". The reincats (or whatever you want to call them) can have the human arms for supper.

Roger, be a dear. Lizzie and I are trying to figure out how to hyphenate "house-fucking snowman fetish." We're quite certain that "house-fucking" is hyphenated, but should that be joined by hyphen to "snowman"? Oh dear. This is all so confusing.

You put your whole self in,
You put your whole self out,
You put your whole self in and you shake it all about.
You do the Snowkey Pokey and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!

Harrold loved Belgium so much - he calls this the Snowman Piss. Once in a while he'll get a stream going about mid-way up the lower bout, but usually he just winds up revealing his feet.

Just for the record, I was right about Charles Addams having done a variation of this cartoon. It's on page 167 of the collection "The World Of Chas. Addams."

For further reference, the Charles Addams version of this cartoon was first published in the December 15, 1956 issue of The New Yorker.
