Whenever I read the moniker I’ve placed on this blog, my fancy takes me to Monty Python. These fellas had a department of funny walks and a routine called “walk this way.” The “way” in question might have been reminiscent of the dance that referenced an Egyptian as I recall. Or of a Groucho slither.
Speaking of Monty Python, years ago John Cleese was spotted in the lobby of the Loews Regency headed for the hotel gym. Hubby and I mentioned we loved Fawlty Towers so much we got the series on CD. He was a friendly guy: “so you’re the ones,” says he. I had intended to ask if the Regency desk met the standards of a Basil Fawlty but was too non-plussed to say anything.
Unrelated rambling but in that same lobby we also encountered Ben Vereen. He was in a cabaret show and requested we go. Sorry to have had other plans cause I know from seeing him on numerous stages to expect a superlative performance.
So looks like we had two near misses in the same hotel foyer. Alas.
