Hey, Ruby Keeler, I’m Tryin’ To Eat A Corndog Here!

You know how people are always breaking into fully orchestrated song-and-dance numbers in movie musicals, even when they’re in a public place and perfectly positioned to annoy bystanders? Well, the folks at Improv Everywhere, (they’re the pranksters who stopped time in Grand Central Terminal — click here for the video) decided to see what happens when a song cue comes along, and our ingenue is in the middle of her shift at Hotdog on a Stick.

“Wing’s N Stuff”??? I mean really. Who thinks up these names? It’s fun to imagine that some of the participants in this number might not have been in on the original planning, and joined up, you know, improvisationally.

This is the sort of thing I prefer to enjoy from a safe distance. Frankly, if these people had interrupted my lunch with this display, it would probably only have succeeded in annoying me.

Maybe it’s me in my advanced years, but I’m terribly underwhelmed and annoyed by your “reality” thing and find stuff like this Waaaaaay Cool.

Thanks for the first fun spot in my day!

Yeah, I dunno. I’m sure it makes me a spoilsport, but as a bona fide crazy person, it’s pretty important to me that you sane people stop dicking around with what you’ve generally agreed upon as reality. That way, when I spot zombies placing cauliflower in the display at the grocery store, or catch newspapers turning into owls, or hear pies trying to talk to me, I know it’s not real and can therefore ignore it. It kinda doesn’t work any other way, and believe me, the rest of you don’t want me listening to the pies, okay?
