Bobbing for apples dates back to ancient Celtic harvest festivals, particularly Samhain, where apples were symbols of fertility and abundance. The game gained popularity in Britain and later colonial America, often as a form of fortune-telling in love. Young people would try to bite into floating apples, each one representing a potential romantic partner, with the first successful attempt thought to predict future marriage. The practice blended with Halloween traditions over time, becoming a lighthearted party game.

According to folklore, silver is the only metal capable of killing a werewolf. This belief dates back to European legends, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries, when silver bullets were thought to harm supernatural creatures, including vampires and werewolves. The legend gained popularity with the 1941 film *The Wolf Man*, where silver became central to the werewolf mythos. Historically, silver has symbolized purity and was thought to ward off evil..

22 years ago today, I returned the favor and stood up for Bob at his marriage to Stephanie and I closed my toast with a Shakespeare quote: "Lack nothing; be merry."

And that all lead to tonight - where we find ourselves at Shakespeare Theatre of NJ hosting a fundraiser... and TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE! :-)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BOB!

10/25/2024

We all got together to celebrate BOB today; the 20-or-30-somgthingth anniversary of his 21st birthday!

Also, our friends from The Growing Stage came by and swung a third-place finish, in advance of their closing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this weekend. (Growing Stage is one of the oldest children's theatres in the state and our favorite by a mile. If you have kids, you could do so much worse than taking a ride out to Netcong and introducing them to the joys of live theatre.)

"Jagged Little Pill," the musical, was inspired by Alanis Morissette's iconic 1995 album of the same name. The album, known for its raw, emotional lyrics, tackled themes of anger, pain, and personal empowerment. The musical expands on these themes, telling the story of a suburban family grappling with complex issues such as addiction, identity, and trauma. Morissette worked closely with the creative team to weave her songs into a narrative that highlights the emotional intensity of her music.

The ring, created by the Guardians of the Universe, allows him to create solid constructs, fly, and perform various other feats. Its abilities are limited only by the user's imagination and mental strength.

Adam Sandler named his production company "Happy Madison" as a tribute to two of his most iconic early films: Happy Gilmore (1996) and Billy Madison (1995). Both movies helped establish Sandler as a major comedic actor in Hollywood, and their success played a significant role in shaping his career.

The phrase "stop on a dime" originated in early 20th-century America and refers to something or someone’s ability to stop quickly and precisely, in a small amount of space, as if stopping within the size of a dime. The term became popular with the rise of automobiles, highlighting the need for efficient brakes. A dime, being the smallest U.S. coin, symbolizes a tight, controlled stop. The expression has since broadened to describe anything that can halt or change direction suddenly.
