The Kid Who Sits Behind You Explains
Waiting for Godot

Whoa, this Beckett dude is whacked! So there's like this weird place--our sub who made us read this said it was like purge-atory, which I think is like some place where bulemic chicks go puke. Anyway, there's these two dudes, Vladimir and Estrogen, and they're like all symbolic, but dude, I suck at figuring that out sometimes. The way I see it, Vladimir is all "I'm Russian and we're going to nuke you 'cause it's the cold war" and Estrogen is like "I'm a female hormone so be afraid", and they're waiting for this Godot dude who has like "god" in his name, but they don't seem to get that they keep repeating stuff, kind of like my old uncle Jake who keeps opening the door to let the cat in but the cat died like five years ago.

Anyway, they just talk hella long about crap and "giving birth astride the grave" which I think means that like one of their wives or moms or something was in a maternity ward over top of some hospital morgue and like maybe they could see through the vents down to the dead guys which would explain why these dudes are so freaky.

Oh, and like the sub dude showed us the movie and it had Zero Mostel--who was in that "Producers" movie my dad liked and the other guy was the original Penguin on the old Batman show--that show was all "Bam" "Pow" and waay more interesting than this boring drag.


The Kid Who Sits Behind You Explains
Wuthering Heights

So there's this old guy named Earnshaw who goes to Liverpool and brings home this gypsy kid named Heathcliff so he wouldn't just grow up to be another soccer hooligan and Earnshaw's own son pummels him and Heathcliff hates him and plays with the daughter and the old guy croaks and life sucks for Heathcliff but then he goes away and comes back and owns Wuthering Heights and too bad cause Catherine's married but then everyone marries everyone else who they're sort of related to and it's hella confusing cause everybody's named either Linton, Earnshaw or Heathcliff and there's two Catherine's and at the end Heathcliff digs up the old Catherine's dead body cause he's like all necro and then he croaks and the younger Catherine marries her cousin so there's a real bright future for these two incestuous abuse victims to turn their lives around and be great parents some day.

Yeah right.
