this is either a photo of my friend barry's emmy award,
OR an elaborately set up shot (which involved the hiring of lighting technicians, set designers, make-up specialists, and a pit orchestra) designed to
look like a photo of the emmy award i talked about
here. whatever you
think this is, it is
NOT the
actual emmy award out my kitchen window, i did
NOT turn off all the lights in our apartment late last night in order to get a good shot of it, and i did
NOT lie sideways on the kitchen counter and knock over the coffee maker in order to take the photo. (i'm not going to the clink.)
An Emmy? hmmm...could just be a very little person with a large ball of twine? ...Or a very ornate bowling trophy?
ReplyDeleteHey, caught part of Today this morning where Schneider (Pat Harrington) shared that his "One Day at a Time" emmy (yes, say that again) was destroyed as part of an elaborate tennis racket repair project (no less believable than "Schneider got an Emmy")
Perhaps you and Ircink could do a photo essay on the actual famous awards (Oscars, Emmys, Tonys) of our past - "where are they now?". I could see that as a somewhat obscure coffee table book. And with a little more cooperation from Pat Harrington, you've got two in the bag already - good luck!

PS. A bit modest on the stature of your youth (Beefaroni? really?). Seems the Theater Dweebs may have lost their King, rather than their Treasurer. Agree with the post - but it's nice to see that Ralph is still alive and kicking.
