"On a break" is community theater for "spend more time with my family" which is politics for "unemployed." (Leta)
"If you want to help the American theater, don't be a performer -- be an audience." (Tallulah Bankhead)

The survey's methodology is flawed, to say the least. "Bubbler" is not offered as a synonym for "water fountain," else I would have scored higher on the "Upper Midwest" component. Not so sure about lumping New York and Boston together, either. What would we do without LiveJournal to sneer at?
