Return of Pants-a-Tawny Phil

I found this historical post on rec.arts.theatre.musicals, my old stomping grounds on the internet. Eleven years ago today, I wrote:

Subject: PANTS-A-TAWNY PHIL(tm) Brett Meets Ground Hog Face to Face

Today in Pennsylvania, that little Ground Hog is coming out to check the
length of his shadow. You know the drill. Yada yada. But did you know
that upon request, the AMAZING Brett Rickaby has provided Phil with a
Ground Hog sized pair of Leather PANTS (tm). Shameless self promotion
not withstanding, we will all be there to see the size of the shadow Phil
casts while wearing THE PANTS (tm)-Ground Hog size.

The cast of CAROUSEL has agreed to let Phil appear onstage in a cameo to
celebrate this, his special day. We all look forward to hearing his
rendition of, "This Was A Real Nice Clambake," and hope that Phil likes
seafood, even if it is only a prop.
