Guten tag, Sneakers! This week on Sneaky Dragon, Ian and Dave get down to basics – I mean they’re naked – to discuss time loops; sneaky wolves; smoking pits; self-elected cool kids; where the cool kids REALLY were – afternoon choir; how kind the high school years are to teen faces; the art of the sketch; precious body parts; smoking, cancer; and, finally, funerals. Pretty grim there at the end…no wait! We end with a wedding announcement.
Thanks for listening.

FYI: regarding Rolf’s age. In the song “Sixteen Going On Seventeen,” Rolf tells Liesl:
You need someone older and wiser/telling you what to do.
I am seventeen going on eighteen/I’ll take care of you.”
See what they did there? He’s only one year older! Oh, the hilarious humour of 1950s musical theatre (set in the 1930s)! I think they had an amusing line in the movie version that got cut where he tells her:
In Act Two, I’m joining the Nazis/ I’ll betray all of you.
I guess that would have telegraphed a major plot twist — although he was a telegram delivery messenger so that was his job.
BTW, I assumed the chairman was a man, not because I’m sexist, but because I kept hearing David say, “He” when he was reading the story.
