You know there are many of us that feel robbed this time of year. If you are one of those people take comfort in the fact that we all feel robbed together and can then get really drunk at the after party (or for some of us during the ceremony) and end up making out with someone we shouldn't. It's all good! Here is a message from one of our Artistic Directors on just how we at Rorschach faired in the race for the honor so great it was named after the star of Airport '70, the Helen Hayes.

You lose credibility with your snarkiness. Helen Hayes was known as the first lady of the theatre, for goodness' sake. She was before my time, but I remember my grandmother speaking of her with great admiration. Your comment is annoying because it smacks of bigotry and is just so -- bratty. You will be getting older someday, and believe me, you'll notice that ignorant and rude young people seem to come out of the woodwork. Try graciousness; that's something I believe Helen Hayes was known for. If you're upset about the awards, start your own contest!

Uhm, you really need to lighten up.
Please Don't ever come here again. You don't get it and you never will. Helen Hayes is a hero of mine and while I appreciate the long list you decided to post, this is not about her or my snarkiness or the fact that I will god forbid get old someday. It is about the fact that once again you have a free chance to anoymously share your bitterness with the world and make someone else look like an a jerk in the process. Well it don't work here because for all of your wisdom and ability to copy and paste a list you seem to have lost the ability to laugh. That is what is truly sad.
