My goodness, that has to be the most visually impacting use of eight smilies I've ever seen!

And congratulations, of course. [Smile]

I'd have to say Phanto's 8 smilies are much more powerfully stated.. but Anthro got the lead so stop trying to steal the spotlight Phanto!...

Ummm...

What are you talking about? I posted the smilies first; what do you mean, exactly?

*is confused*

So you'll change the chorus of the song to:

We all live in a yellow...boat?

Doesn't quite work, ne?

Based on a true story from the eighties. This kid has hemophilia, and he gets HIV through a transfusion. Dies by the time he's eight, I believe.

I play his father. Normally the kid would be the male lead, but he's being played by a girl. So it doesn't count. [Razz]

Ohhh... [Frown]

That's a sad story. Ryan White?

Posted by Anthro (Member # 6087) on :

No, the boy's name is Benjamin. And Ryan White lived much longer, I believe. Benjamin died very early.

Posted by Anthro (Member # 6087) on :

I found a link to a short piece about the play. And I would like to add that it is not actually sad, because it is more about his life than his death.

Link.
