Once again....

I could never be a nurse. You have my admiration.

[Corin Stormhands]

Corin.... "must" the show, indeed, go on?

Well, we didn't have any barfing angels or anything. Our troubles were mostly injury related. Lessee...

Mrs. broke her foot.

One of the principle dancers sprained her ankle and was to the ER and back in the next performance on crutches (it worked with her character in that scene).

Another principle dancer had a "reindeer wrangler" step on her ankle with his cowboy boots.

One of our kid actors got a nasty gash on his ankle during a scene the first Saturday.

Jr. had a table dropped on his foot.

And Santa hit the corner of a set piece during one of the first performances. He went on, but it was lookin' pretty nasty by yesterday. He was going to the doctor today.

So...~our~ show went on.

But I spent a lot of time singing that song from Moulin Rouge when Nicole Kidman is dying...

Outside the dawn is breaking
On the stage that holds
Our final destiny
The show must go on
The show must go on

And then she dies...

Okay, 2J. You win.

Worst I had was projectile baby spitup in the mouth...

[RMDupree]

Yick!

And *laughing*!

[ExGeeEye]

Might have done the same, but I might have...ahem...sung "branches"* first.

*Can we add this to the FReeper lexicon as a euphemism:
to sing "branches"=to bazooka-barf
eh?

[RMDupree]

Becky sprayed baby poop in my face (and mouth) when she was a newborn.

Nasty. :P

[2Jedismom]

Thing is...that's not even my worst experience.

[RMDupree]

HA!

As in, I think I had a bit too much to drink. I'm gonna go sing "branches". ?

[RMDupree]

A frightening thought.

[HairOfTheDog]

I've had some pretty disgusting experiences with 'that which is foul' coming out of an animal, but at the moment, I can't top 2J's story.

[Corin Stormhands]

Not listening! Not listening.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Heh, yes, that *is* gross! ;)

[2Jedismom]

Heh...I'm not sayin'.

[Overtaxed]

Fercryinoutloud! Does your show have insurance?

[ExGeeEye]

Or "why did you make me ride something called the 'Rainbow Chunderful Express Whirligig'? Did you want me to sing 'branches' on your khakis?"

[RMDupree]

It could catch on, yes.

[JenB]

Can we move threads again? Because I think this one is going to be condemned as unsanitary any minute now.

[2Jedismom]

Well, I'll tell ya...in every case where something like this happened to me, it usually embarrassed the patient terribly and it usually made me feel terrible for them. It taught me to be very careful with how I reacted, to react professionally.

Steve just called...he's on his way home. I gotta log off and try to get the living room spiffed up!

Night all!

[Corin Stormhands]

Well, we've all got a pretty good ~life~ insurance policy. ;-)

This year was worse for injuries for some reason. Some years it's the flu. But this year they literally bought cases of hand sanitizer and had bottles located all over the place.
