mimes are strange people/things to me. i don't understand the painted faces and the medieval movements. they appear almost satanic. in the 1979 cult classic movie "the warriors" some gang members were dressed like mimes with suspenders and top hats with striped shirts.and who could ever forget the mute "baseball furies?" i am at a loss here. i suppose i should crack open a book and learn about these weird practices. any comments would help, thanks.
A hollandaise sauce with a french mime? How gauche! At the very least, you could serve it rare with a good Bordeaux. And maybe a Marceaux sauce. Now, THAT's class, Monsieur. Mime Marceaux is reputed worldwide, oui. Still, good choice with the potatoes. "French" fries are actually Belgian in origin. You've nicely avoided a major faux-pas there. "As fore you, Major Faux-Pas, you're demoted to le Corporal!"
Terry, Have you seen that episode of the cartoon Dexter's Lab, where the Boy Genius gets his funny bone infected by the accidental bite of a clown's false teeth, turns into a were-clown at night, and his sister undergoes mime training in order to have the abilities/powers to stop his bad joke sprees? Should give you adequate inspiration. (But don't forget to exhale!) I reckon the level of parody in Dexter's Lab is best appreciated by adults. Or maybe I'm just drawn to... geek humour? ;-)
You'll know you're getting the hang of it, once you're able to crack open a book and learn in it, when there isn't actually any book there. Then, try to lean on the invisible wall for a breather. The day you're able to fend off a black belt ninja with an imaginary broomstick, you'll know you've become a master mime-sweeper, little dragonfly. But beware of the Dark Side of the Straight Face, young pupil of mime. White always must your make-up be. Wakarimashta ka?
