          1. @pinhooves Well OK, how to explain... You go to a theatre, and on stage they're putting on a performance of some fairy tale. There's no fourth wall, loads of double entendre, both men and women in drag, and the audience is expected to shout things like "heeeeee's behiiiiind yoooooou!" and "oh no he isn't / oh yes he is!" at opportune moments.

            1. @thelastgherkin Eeyup, I'm not familiar with that. It does sound neat though!

              1. @pinhooves Tell you what, next time you visit - is it Scotland that your... relative of some description lives? - next time you visit Scotland (in the Christmas period), make sure you see a good old fashioned British panto.

                1. @thelastgherkin My sister's there. She may be coming back next summer. Hopefully we'll go back to Scotland again! :3

    2. @rotation I saw # in Robin Hood. He corpsed so badly during the scene where he was teaching the Merry Men how to quarterstaff. He was like "Throw your wood over your shoulder! *childish laughter* If you can do that, I'll be REALLY impressed!"
