Yes, you are repeating what I said, mahyem is a loss of control. If that describes your show then so be it. As I said, do as you desire with your little show. If you want to continue arguing that mayhem is loss of control with someone who said it means loss of control then argue with yourself.

Skip Way, for what it's worth, I agree that MagicSanta's reply to your observation was brusque and rude.
Mayhem may not have been part of the titles of the Stooges or Laurel and Hardy's great shows, but we all know it is the perfect word to describe their lunacy.

The word "mayhem" is often used figuratively. But, then again, some people are incapable of understanding figurative speech. It blew my mind when I first encountered a person who took everything literally. Such a waste of gray matter!

Tony, you forgot Scooby Doo. Too bad he didn't say the word was descriptive but said that it was part of the titles themselves. I never considered Laurel and Hardy to be mayhem, they were rather calm. Three stooges yes, Keystone Cops yes, L and H, nope. Don't blame me he recalls titles that never existed. I, being the kind hearted soul I am, can admit when I am wrong.

Wes' initial description actually defines this thread.
"Drama and ego are great for the stage, but when I'm off the stage, I drop all that crap..and don't put up with any!"

Yeah....lots of confusion, running amok...all that.

...and it is "my kind of town" btw, thanks for noticing, Magic Santa.
Check out my link to my site, Magic Santa, and scroll down...and let the "mayhem" begin! BTW: I get complimented all the time on audience control. Google "mayhem laurel and hardy" and watch all the links come up with descriptions of their antics using the word 'mayhem'. It's like Christmas in Vermont! Here's my axe to grind...how can some use 'mayhem' when it's obvious from their videos and personalities that they're about as exciting as a trip to a sod farm? Wes, about "finding a different word". I hope to Holy God you're kidding...

Ever notice magic shows don't have the word massacre in the title? I mean, I don't title kids shows, seems rather egotystical to do that. I'm considering "Santa's Magical Massacre...join the mayhem and insanity, be part of the slaughter". Hows it sound? If anyone says anything I'll just say that it means having fun.

Mr. McBrien, that is a very professional web site. It has everything I suggest, where you are, where you work, how to contact you, comments from customers, an impressive list of companies you've worked for. It also had none of that baloney such as 'how to throw a good party', as if the parents cared what others thought, that phony "why I'm better than everyone else" stuff....great. Oh, I also liked that you comment about you being on time and reliable. You do seem at a higher tier than most here so I'm sure your input will be barely tolerated until you are driven out in frustration. I like you though.

I usually don't ask this from other guys but do you have any videos of you doing the vent thing? I vent my dog talking to the wife but I'm a one voice wonder.

Has anyone ever heard of metaphor? Or artistic license? I used to describe my show as 'A riot of fun and laughter', yet somehow it did get bookings and no one expected public disorder.
This thread seems to be taking pedantry to a whole new level.
