That's what I thought, so it's a pity if the audience is unbearable.

Bouncers? To protect them from what? Is there a legal age for going to the opera, or are the opera houses full of crack-heads who come there to rob the Beluga-dog food people in the audience?

No, the "worst failure competition" isn't on, unless your failure isn't your own fault. People in LA never fail, and if they do it's always someone else's fault. It would probably become a "who's your best friend who helps you the most" -competition. *She had a problem, but I gave her the number to my shrink... Well I put her in contact with my real estate broker AND loaned her the money...* and so on... As for the broccoli, you can't eat just any broccoli!

Good, then I'll go with that. I can pretend to be a complete failure due to my own limitations. What is viewed as the worst possible failure? Being poor? Out of work? Stupid? Crazy? (Hi, I moved here just by chance because I couldn't get a job in Sweden, I'm mentally disabled, you see)?

The coconut crab is quite delicious, but sadly can't be found around LA. You can get crabs quite easily in LA, though....

Well, I wasn't planning to do the porn star stuff there, anyway.
