Updated Sunday 10 May 1998. Five people, other than me, have answered my survey.

1. Okay, let's get this one out of the way. What are your feelings on theDavey-Denten thing?

• The Davey Denton thing, very probable, very news worthy
• Birdie- it is very probable, just look at Davey's face when Denten hands him his card
• I KNOW, there doing a little more than striking HERE...I mean, the whole "I want ya" thing Denton gives David all the time....It's just wrong.
• Feelings? I have no feelings for either Denton or Davey..er..oh you mean..*cough cough* THAT...well...I think Dave could do better.
• What Davey-Denten thing? (Someone help this girl. She doesn't know about the David-Denten thing!
• First of all, DENTON IS NOT GAY!!!!!!! Davey may be, and there's nothing wrong with that, but I can guarantee all you none believers that Bryan Denton is as far from gay as well.... Spot, I guess. Everyone loves Spot, so he's as gay as Spot.

2. Who's your fave newsie?

• Spot.
• Birdie- Spot, ABSOLUTLY!!!!!!!!!
  
• Kid Blink

3. Who's your least favorite newsie?

• Jack- Mr. Full- of- himself.
• Birdie- I'd have to vote for Snitch here)
• Specs
• Jake- who the heck is he?

4. What's your fave song and your fave dance part?

• I rather like Spot in KONY when he appears to be in a drunken stupor up on the table.
• Birdie- Wait a minute. When's Spot in a drunken stupor on the table in KONY? Personally, I like the Seize the Day Chorale
• I love King of NY
• The thrusting scenes. Gotta love the thrusting scenes.

5. What's your story about the Delancys? Like why do they hate thenewsies so much and all that good stuff.

• Because they're gay and they know that they have no chance whatsoeverwith the newsies.
• Birdie- they're just annoying and they envy them.
• See, Morris and Oscar were once the head of the Newsies. But then there Uncle Weasel decided that that wasn't good enough. So he put them to work in the Circulation Office. Then Jack shows up, taking there old jobs, and they get really jealous and lonely for their old lives. So they hate Jack, which means that all the other newsies hate them. It's a vicious Circle.
• Morris is just ugly. I'd be mad at anyone if I was that ugly. Oscar is actually good looking. Come on, admit it! Anyway, Oscar is pissed cause he actually does have the looks to be a newsie but they wont let him. Dont ask me how the hell they let Pie Eater in....*shudder*

6. What's with Race and Sinpeshooter and the cigars?

• Nicotine fiends, pure and simple.
• Birdie- yup, they're addicts.
• Race and Snipeshooter were really brothers, but they don't know it. It's only because of there love of cigars that brought them together..
• I dunno. Its kinda like a guy thing I think. Dont ask me to explain guy things. I'll be in therapy for years.
• Well, nicotine is addictive.

7. Don't you think it's so funny when a) Mush is falling in Seize theDay and b) three guys in King of New York do noose mimeing when they sing "...Pulitzer's cryin, Weasel, he's dying..."?

• What do you want here? Yes.
• Birdie- I don't know about you, but I tend to laugh hysterically at those parts.

8. What would your "beat" be? (where would you sell papers in NY)

• Brooklyn, or maybe Harlem.
• Birdie- I'd sell in Queens.
• I'd sell on the dicks- maybe I'd get a glimpse of Spot.

9. Make up a headline that you think would sell easily. Make up the oneprinted in the paper and then improve the truth a little.

• Tennis Team Whacks Off To Victory - this one appeared in our school paper courtesy of our stupid advisor.
• Birdie- I particularly love this one. It's hilarious.
• Spot Conlon seen nude with a corpse... (Birdie-I'd just like you guys ta know, I didn't make this one up)
• What is this torture? Make me think I'm a newsie.....*muttering* *cough cough* ANYWAY...umm..how bout:Original Headline: Roosevelt's pet cat found badly beaten in alley.MY headline *smirk*: Roosevelt's daughter seen hung in back alley by his mistress. *bowing*
• Real: Seagull population growing. Mine: Killer Birds on the Loose!
• original: Yankees lose to a bunh of thrusting kids. improved: Nude Corpse on Playing Field has Nothing To Do with the Yankees Lose to a Bunch of Hot, Horney Boys. (sorry, I get sick like this sometimes)

10. Which bourough of New York would you live in? Why?

• Where ever, I'm not picky.
• Birdie- Queens again.
• Wherever Blink goes, I'm there!!
• In Brooklyn of course, I think you know why.

11. What's your favorite spoken line?

• Jacky just got laid (Birdie- who else remembers this line? I certainly don't)
• I say... that what you say... is what I say.
• Are ya outta yer mind? (Spoken by Race)
• All of Spot's lines. i.e. "I say that what you say is what I say." and "Never fear, Brooklyn is here."

12. What's your favorite sung line?

• "a porcelin tub with boilin water."
• Birdie- I like this one too.
• "Dey almost all knows how ta read." (Blink's version!)
• um..it would hafta be, "On da grounds of Brooklyn yer honah." *smile* My Spot's such a smart ass...

13. If you were a newsie, describe the clothes you'd wear.

• Gee, I would wear some faboo Versace originals (of course, that might bea bit improbable), Hugo Boss, and some fashionable- yet- affordablerags- complete with a really cool derby.
• Birdie- I'd do a skirt and shirt, and have the suspenders and such. Gotta go with the century clothes though, just gotta.

14. Which newsie(s) would wear an earring(s) if he lived today?

• Spot, he seems like the type- naval ring, definitly.
• Birdie- Gabe really does have one by the way. Very sexy. :o)
• Definatly Blink, just because of the whole Pirate thing going on...I mean, the patch and the earring just go hand in hand.
• You sure are original kiddo...um...well I'd hafta say Les. He'll do anything to be anyone but himself.
• Spot (since Gabe does today) and maybe Blink and Jack.
• Spot!!!!!

15. If the newsies were alive today and the strike happened, what recentsong would be their theme song? (any modern song- pop, rap, christian, country, etc.)

• I could see them doing a medley of songs wherein they must prance aboutlike pixies (oh, yeah, wait...)
• Birdie- Brooklyn Bounce by that one group who does it. Just because- it's arbitrary. It's a cool song, and it's got a cool beat and all that. It'd be cool to protest to.
• All My Life (Kc and Jo-jo)

16. Can you see any of the newsies with a mowhawk? Perhaps a Delancey?

• Blink- green.
• Birdie- I don't think really I can, but perhaps a Delancey. Or maybe Pie Eater.
• Maybe it's just me, but I can see Pulitzer with a red mohawk. Scary...
• I have a vivid imagination. I can see SARAH with a mohawk.

17. If you're school (or theatre near you) was putting on a production of NEWSIES, the musical play, which part would you audition for and why?

• I wouldn't, I'd trip and fall and die and that would be the end of me.
• Birdie- I'd be Jack, mainly- cool lines and such.
• I'd try out of Sarah, because it would be the only part I could get...
• Sarah's part...... unless they decided Spot needs a goyl.

18. Which newsie(s) could you see as gay or bi? (humor me here)

• Jack and Mush (as a couple, definitly).
• Birdie- I think I agree, but I vote for Dave, he just kinda fits with it.
• I wanna say Les.

19. Which newsie could you see as a millionaire in his near future?

• Spot, he has very interesting people skills
• Birdie- I think this works, but maybe Race- he won a horse race with really big odds and won tons of money.
• Race! He finally wins some money on a horse!
• Davey, if you count him as a newsie.
• Jack- maybe as a lawyer or something.

20. Which newsie could you see dressed in drag?

• Skittery.
• Birdie- yup, definitally. And, of course, the Delanceys.
• Denton could I'm sure.
• I feel like we're doing the same questions over and over again here. Well, obviously Swifty..but...then again I'd hafta say Mush. I dont have a theory here..do I need one?

21. What would be Jack's favorite modern fast-food restaurant? How aboutSpot's? Or David's?

• Who knows, any food would suit them, I'm sure.
• Birdie- I don't know either, I just thought it was an interesting question.
• I'd hafta guess Jack's would be Burger King. He looks like a Burger King kinda guy. Spot is definitely McDonalds. And Dave doesnt eat grease.

22. What color ARE Spot's eyes?

• blue.
• Birdie- I personally think they're blueish grayish clearish. I couldn't decide so I'm taking a poll.
• There a sorta blue color with green that looks different every time.
• *snort* Like I dont know what color my Spot's eyes are...they are a beautiful stormy grey...*sigh*
• I think they're a blueish-gray color.
• Multicolor. They change depending on his mood. It's true. My friend has eyes like that.

25. What brand of cigarettes do you think the newsies smoke? (pick amodern company please)

• Marlboro.
• Birdie- I'd have to vote for Camel here.
• Camels, of course!!
• they look like Marlboro men.

26. What's your opinion on Sarah (or Ele Keets)? If you don't like her,why- and it has to be a good reason, no "because she got to kiss Jack" answers. I mean, come on, she's a nice person.

• She seems very submissive, and kind of prissy, but who's keeping track?
• Birdie- I like them both. Sarah was a little prissy I agree, but Ele is very nice. Never met her, but I can tell about people.
• I think she's just fine. Not really a perfect match for Jack. I see her more along the lines of Skittery or Dutchy. (Birdie- I think I agree)
• She's a nice person? Uh huh...okay. Personally, I dont mind Sarah. But I'd like to ask her, "Why Jack?" Yick...she coulda done better.

27. Who do you think is cuter- Specs or Skittery?

• I think Specs.
• Birdie- Specs all the way. He's just cute.
• Skittery- don't like Specs.
• This is honestly a tough one...I'd hafta say Specs. Skittery is a goof.

28. Where do you think the movie was filmed? On a sound stage? A produced outside set? On location somewhere?

• It was made in a studio in California
• Birdie- Just askinf people. I know where it was filmed. I just want to know what all you think. (in a soundstage (or whatever) in sunny CA) And I've see the soundstage too, so it's all good.
• Somewhere over the rainbow....
• Hate to boist anyones bubble. It was filmed in Hollywood, CA. come on guys..the cheesy backdrop?
• A soundstage- another piece of uselessinformation in my brain.

29. At the Rally, why is David the first to notice that Snyder's there? If you ask me, David's observing Denten a little too much over there.

• Because he is watching Denton, so obviously he will notice when Snyderstarts moving in on his man.
• Birdie- I answered this one already. But I think Dave was checking out Denten and just "noticed" Snyder moving in on his man.
• I agree. Or maybe he was checking out SNYDER!! Did anyone think of that? (Birdie- thihs is the total BEST answer for this question!!!)
• I agree with you. But he is also the only one with any kind of perception of anything.
• Because he's watching Denten. Also, it's in the script!
• Maybe he's watchinf Bryan. Just remember, DENTEN IS NOT GAY!!!!!! m'kay.
