...and doesn't David Yazbeck give great triple rhymes, internal rhymes...

Yes, he does - but (David) Yazbek writes the shows, (Tony) Yazbeck is the singer/actor. ;-) I also think that Yazbeck might make a good Jerry if they were to revive Yazbek's Full Monty sometime soon. (If only so he could get to sing "Breeze Off The River." I'd pay to hear that.)

That said, there was another, more head-scratching bleep in "Great Big Stuff" on the Tony telecast:

"A life of taste and class
With culture and sophisitication
pouring out my ***."

The reason I call it head-scratching is because later on the telecast, Spelling Bee got this "use of a word in a sentence" through with no bleeps:

"Dengue - When the pediatrician asked Billy to describe the symptoms of his dengue, He said 'It was like a race out of my tushy and everybody won.'"

Now, I ask you, what is more graphic - Freddy's metaphorical description of something "pouring out [his] ass," or Panch's LITERAL description of the same? Doesn't it seem a little backwards that "ass" is a no-no, yet a rather disgusting (if funny) play-by-play of severe diarrhea is allowable?

That's just screwed up, lol.
