Jonathan…Livingston Seagull…?

You’re close to your audience, PLEASE don’t fly over and shriek!!!

Time for your curtain caw, Jonathan.

Go join The Flock of Seagulls!

You think the audience won’t realize you were too lazy to prepare?

They’re not that gullible!

Jonathon Livingston, I presume

Who will clean up after him?

If he bombs there’ll be no tern unstoned in that theater.

I have always had problems with anthropomorphic story lines. I had to do a book report in high school on JLS, it was pretty painful. A book I read “for fun” back in the day was Watership Down, about a bunch (warren) of talking rabbits. My favorite book report in High school was Marathon Man.

Flying by the seat of his….pants?

Fly, you fool! It’s a roast!

Would his full name be Johnathan Livingston Seagull?

Sigh….

Tell ‘um the one about the Dodo that was so gullible that he fell for a feather duster ……. Bada bing

As long as he don’t go out sounding like Neil Diamond…

I suspect his routine will be rife with fowl language.

Is his middle name Livingston?
