Vet kumen di nakht un vet zingen lyu-lyu

I just found out Theodore Bikel has died.

I am going to listen to a lot of Yiddish folksongs and then set about finding a copy of The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming (1966) stat.

I got tears, but I'd rather spare them

LJ crashed earlier this evening, making it impossible for me to record my quote of the day at the time:

schreibergasse, breaking off halfway through an attempt to describe Excalibur (1981): "God, I did some weird shit at Oxford!"

(Background: he has never seen I, Claudius (1976). I feel we should remedy this situation as soon as logistically possible. The conversation continued naturally through Patrick Stewart from there. For additional reference, I have never seen Excalibur.)
