Claymates Not Familiar With The Air Speed Velocity Of An Unladen Swallow Or Why That Is Funny

Clayspam Remember when it appeared that old "American Idol" stars wouldn't die, they'd just go to Broadway? The producers of "Spamalot" are having a far different experience than "The Color Purple" people. Claymates are not grabbing their coconuts and clomping their way to Camelot in droves. Perhaps the knights who say "nee" have prevented their crossing into Manhattan. It shouldn't matter, should it? Who would have thought Diana DeGarmo, Josh Strickland, Frenchie Davis and Tamyra Gray would be bigger draws on the Rialto? There is no truth that Aiken ventured to a Times Square penthouse, looked out over Broadway, was told someday this will all be yours and responded "What? The curtains?" Pure rumor, you silly English bed-wetting types.
