Last night, that asshole playing Don Lockwood screamed at me: “Your stupid rain machine’s drowning out my song!”
So tonight, as he sang in the rain, I cranked the water pump to full blast and walked out. Let him turn it off.

Singing in the rain…love it
Wonderful, wonderfuler, wonderfulest!
Revenge is wet! Love it.
Gene Kelly’s Don Lockwood would never, but this is tremendously fun and not at ALL what I thought of when I read “Who’ll stop the rain” and all the more enjoyable for being so unexpected. Kudos.
DId you know that throughout the making of that movie Gene Kelly would openly make fun of Debbie Reynolds’s dancing. He couldn’t stand that they’d casted a non-dancer in the role.
I love this, for like 10 reasons, chief among them: SINGING IN THE RAIN.
The performance at the wealthy community theater I had in my head while writing this probably wasn’t as good as the movie. Especially with the flooding damage involved.
ha ha excellent!! I agree with Kymm, the title is fantastic, too!
Perfect. Doesn’t need another syllable.
Haha! Brilliant! I love the dramatic retribution.
Hahaha That title rocks it, Nate! Love it.
(Now I’m humming ‘Take this job and shove it’)
I’ve learned this from playing in bands: never insult the sound person. I’m sure the same applies in theater. You insult the crew, you’re asking for trouble. This scene makes me smile.
Oh, you know then, Josh: Never tick off the people responsible for making you look good!
Oh yes. Totally worth it, I think. I love this!
Nate, YES! Loved it.
What Stacie said. I’m grinning ear to ear.
Now I want to know what happens next …. And before…? Just love these fast fiction stories. Well done, Nate!
You should try it once, Maria! I bet you’d be very good at it.
