Brilliant. Beautiful. Funny. The sun just came out on this rainy, overcast day.

Oh, and Mr. Vanderleun, where on earth do you find these gems?

Fantastic performance, by high school kids, no less. Nice version of the Messiah, too, with a proper trumpet line. Bravo!

The best part was at 2:58...

Some people can't remember the axiom "Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

Gerard, this was wonderful. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

So Benjamin, by not keeping your mouth shut you are telling us you are a fool because you went back and looked for the 2:58 mark?

I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but these kids probably lifted the routine from the Portland Gay Men's Choir, which can also be seen on Youtube. It's prefaced with a long, catty, purple-prosey anti-religious screed that makes it understood that these self-denying monks haven't a clue about how to live in this world, where pleasures of the flesh should be paramount. (Sorry, got purple all over me.)
