Have you not heard of Sweeny Todd ? I supposed the X rating has to do with “blood” though I have never seen the play.
I learned of it years ago from the great movie Jersey Girl, starring a young Ben Affleck as a young single father. While other young girls were singing songs from Cats at the elementary school talent show, Affleck’s daughter insisted on performing a scene from Sweeny Todd with her father, hisgirlfriend Liv Tyler, grandfather George Carlin, and his pals. The teacher fainted. 
SCvsLSU: winning ain’t easy. How much does a player (and team’s) character come into play? Some athletes play with great confidence, even when losing. Others get flustrated and down on themselves when they miss a shot or fall behind. Gotta remember that most of these athletes have been playing basketball for ten years before they reach college, playing hundreds of games and tournaments for schools and travel teams. Still at their young age (18-22) their brains are still maturing - though few at that age would be so humble to admit as much.
Last weekend we puppy-sat Anna’s dog Goose. This weekend we are caring for Okie, W&MC’s dog, while they take the girls to Boone NC.
DENISON: Saturday is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, designated by the UN General Assembly to coincide with the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazis’ largest extermination and concentration camp, by Soviet soldiers in 1945. This remembrance focuses on the six million Jews murdered by the German Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945. One-fourth of them, 1.5 million, were children. We remember the horror of antisemitic hatred so it will not rise again in our day. But it is.
Antisemitism is surging on college campuses, part of a growing tide of animosity against Jews in America, Europe, and around the world. The Anti-Defamation League is reporting an unprecedented 337% increase in antisemitic incidents after Hamas invaded Israel on October 7, massacring more than 1,200 Jews.
