SARTORIAL-LESS

They've sent me away again. For the last few days, I've been shacking up with Sarah (but not in the Biblical way, though I'm pretty sure she wants a piece of this chicken.) She's Opera Cleveland's grant writer and my personal seamstress, apparently. I'm getting fitted for my tux, which I will need in a couple weeks for operas I see when I head out to the OPERA America conference.

Because Sarah has been sewing me a formal ensemble, I was puzzled why she posted this question to me on my last blog entry:

"So what's your take on the habit of animals and partial nudity - Donald Duck wears a shirt but no pants - Mickey pants but no shirt - Daffy obviously aligns with nudists... and it appears you do as well... curious about your stance on this important issue."

I don't think I have made this clear enough: I do NOT like animals affected with human characteristics. Just because a mouse can talk in the voice of a castrato and emote as well as, uh, Keanu Reeves doesn't make him funny.

So I do not really appreciate the comparison to these cartoon hacks.

That said, Sarah is correct that I'm more often than not unclothed. When I say I'm free-range, I mean all that sweet word implies. But I certainly don't mind forgoing my natural state to look fierce in some cool duds. I will surely be modeling them on this blog.

    This is my first viewing of Carl's blog. I am very impressed! I've only seen a chicken that played the piano before, but I guess the cool 21st-century chickens write blogs!

    Hey Carl! While you are working on your wardrobe, tell Sarah you need a Hawaiian Shirt! Why? 'Cause they look good when you are drinking a Corona!!
