Do Not Enter The Tea Room

Around Christmas 1995 a friend came to visit me in my newly married, presumably happy, life in Michigan. We went to a museum where we saw an exhibit of a Japanese tea room. Outside the display was an attempt to describe this exhibit. It started with something like: “Within the tea room, one feels loneliness which penetrates into the marrow of one’s bones...” and ended with the caution “Please do not enter the tea room”. I laughed out loud. If you don’t get it, you probably should leave.

PFG said...: One of my most favorite movies ever. BTW, did you know there is a polka version of the song "Saturday Night"? It's friggin great (e.g., imagine an accordion playing the bass line) and it always makes me think of Axe Murderer.

I gotta find me a copy of that song. I came in to do my show one morning and the polka DJ on before me was playing it. Unfortunately, he's an older fellow and when I've asked him to play it since, he's had a hard time remembering which song I'm talking about. Oh the ravages of age...; December 19, 2007 2:09 PM
