Hasty Pudding

Friday night we went with friends to the Hasty Pudding Theatrical show in Harvard Square. A welcome change from the serious, technology oriented, politically correct world we live in. The Pudding was formed in 1795 and has been producing shows with an all-male cast since 1844. Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, JP Morgan, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jack Lemmon and many others have been members of Hasty Pudding. It's totally silly and corny and refreshing. How many institutions have endured through Civil War, World War, Depressions, and social change so successfully? My view- to endure, it helps to be silly. Long live Monty Python, Dumb and Dumber, and the Pudding!
