Oh, man. This loud, wrongly genteel drunken fellow in a tuxedo just knocked on our door and asked Dave to help push his car into a driveway. He'd left his lights on. Much retardedness ensued*, involving Tuxedo yelling at an off-duty cop** who told him that he wouldn't be driving anywhere tonight.
*including Tuxedo telling us we have a beautiful lawn. Oh, Tuxedo. You can say many things about our lawn, like "Why don't you cut it?" or "You must love dandelions", but you can't say it's beautiful.
**He accused the cop of being a serial killer and demanded to see his license number.
But my favorite part was when Dave left him. Apparently, Tuxedo said, "I'm the star of a play, and I'm going to bring some tickets by for you and your wife!"
I love I'm the star of a play!
Next time I'm in a play, that's how I'm going to tell people about it. With verve like that.
Right now, the Tuxedo's out on the street yelling HELP! HELP! to passing cars, trying to get a jump so he can drive on ill-advisedly out into the night. I bet those cars would stop if they knew he was the star of a play!
Now he's fallen asleep in his car. Sleep well, Hamlet. Don't go anywhere.

Goodnight, sweet Prince,
And flights of slightly drunken
Tuxedo-wearing angels speed thee to thy rest.
Oh, what play! What play! I'm dying to know. People make up some funny answers.
I love Seattle!
Sincerely,
Junius Brutus Booth
Judging by the little production he starred in on your street, I'll bet his play is pretty entertaining. I always appreciate it when the neighbourhood lunatic DRESSES UP.
So funny!
In my mind I see a drunken Harvey Keitel in his costume for Pulp Fiction, when he was called from the party.
I can't believe you didn't film him and throw it on YouTube,
