Alfred Hitchcock once said, "Drama is life with the dull bits cut out," which explains his penchant for casting crust-less sandwiches in every leading role. Chew on exciting art with today's GrouponLive deal: for $20, you get one ticket to the Pittsburgh CLO’s performance of A Musical Christmas Carol at Byham Theater (up to a $46.75 value). Pittsburgh CLO offers half-price tickets for children aged 3–14. Groupon holders will receive the best available seats in the mezzanine or orchestra sections. Choose from one of the following performances:
- Friday, December 9, at 7:30 p.m.
- Saturday, December 10, at 8 p.m.
- Sunday, December 11, at 6 p.m.
A Musical Christmas Carol encapsulates the jovial spirit and yuletide magic of the holiday season in a production that infuses the classic Dickens tale with seasonal melodies. The Pittsburgh CLO's immensely talented cast recreates old England with a host of love-to-hate characters, including the cantankerous Ebenezer Scrooge, played by Pittsburgh's own Tom Atkins. First-rate set design and spectacular special effects thrill audiences, from the appearance of the Ghost of Christmas Future to a dance-off between Scrooge and Bob Cratchit taken from Dickens's controversial alternative ending. Opened in 1904, the Byham Theater is a spectacle in itself, as theatergoers will note from the landmark's original mosaic-tile floor and restored cherub lobby. Dedicated to celebrating the ghosts of musical theater past and present, the Pittsburgh CLO proudly remains a nonprofit cultural institution that lauds distinguished musical-theater folk while launching the careers of another generation of skilled performers.

The Groupon Guide to: Safeguarding Your Computer
It's a world wild web out there, full of viruses, trojan horses, and cyber mummies. Consult this guide to keeping your computer squeaky clean:
A thumbprint on your monitor might be on the inside of the screen—use a screwdriver to get it out.
There are only three safe websites: robinwilliams.net, robinwilliams.org, and will.i.am.
Keep your computer "clean" by removing all the swears from your Excel documents and deleting any pictures of people kissing.
Look out for Trons!
Draw a picture of a scarecrow in MS Paint and set it as your background. It won't stop viruses, but it will kill filthy birds near your computer.
Crumbs between keys can become sustenance for viruses to breed. Replace your keyboard every three hours.
Cell phones are tiny computers that will fit in your dishwasher. You're welcome.
