Wednesday and Other Stuff

Still laughing at "what is the other thing she put 18 million cracks in."

Shame on you Peter. But hilarious.

I won't be at class on Monday because I found out that I'm a semi-finalist in Acme's Funniest Person Contest and perform that night. It's a safe bet that I won't be using anything from my Outtakes intro.

If there's any way you guys can make it down, that'd be awesome. If not, I understand, and know that you will all be with me in spirit...

HECA Press Junket

WOW! It's only been a little over 12 hours ago since I was awarded the prestigious HECA trophy, but it's been quite the experience! Handlers whisked me out of the Sheraton promptly so I could fly out to the east coast to do "Regis & Kelly", then quickly flew me out to LA to be on the "Ellen" show, then I made it just in time to do the ever-popular "Showcase Minnesota" on KARE-11... (Allow room here for a "sing-songy" CRRAAAAAZZZY!!!!)

If I don't pass out from the stress and attention that the HECA demands... tonight I will be at the Cabaret to award this prize to another lucky recipient. With the HECA comes great honor, but also, great responsibility.

Godspeed.

HECA of a performance!

I spent most of the past weekend constructing the High Energy and Commitment Award (HECA). I will present it after Friday's show to the team member who exhibited high energy and commitment. I am hoping that the winner will present it to another team member after Saturday's show, and then that winner present it after the September 12 show, and so on, creating a traveling trophy and hopefully a cherished SR tradition for years to come. Be the first winner!

Happy Birthday to Jason & Cristi!

In honor of your birthdays, I thought I'd throw a 12-day bash for you two! Come on down and see me at 1265 Snelling Avenue North, St. Paul, MN. Once you pay $8 at the gate, I'll make sure they give you a free button!

At the "Grand Opening" of the new "International Bazaar" I already ran into Brett! He kissed my rings and was on his way.

More from the fairgrounds as this story develops...

Two secrets and a lie

Okay, I'll start. (tell 3 things about yourself - two true and one lie; we have to guess which one is the lie)


Maureen's Three:
I've jumped off a bridge.
I've been convicted of a misdemeanor.
I've received the last rites.

Fun, huh?

Kinda quiet out there

I see our blogging has dropped recently. Maybe a sign we're all ready for a new team? Nah! Here's what I think is going on:

Cristi: too busy trying to create a shiv from a toilet paper core.
Jason: does not want to risk aggravating shoulder by typing.
Maureen: battling Murdoch's evil media empire.
Mookie: inflamed lips make it hard to see keyboard.
Peter R: forgot password again.
Tim: still recovering from Ma D's latest cuffing.
Zach: writer's block due to too much new comedic material.

¡Hasta mañana¡

What I would have done.

Since Tim is second guessing his choice and what could have been a better choice I'm going to do it for the outtakes show(because I obliviously made the best possible choices for are shows). This is what I would have done for worlds worst Burger King employee. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFQyib5ZQZY&feature=related

Terrible Twos

Great shows this weekend! Lots of FUNNY FUNNY!!! I thought everyone came out with good stuff both nights...

OK, maybe not my best "Jeopardy" response on Saturday. (CATEGORY: Toddlers. The answer is: TERRIBLE TWOS. I buzzed in with: What is an anorexic bra size?) As you can imagine, with a room full of "Red Hats" it got quite a few groans. My mother cuffed me on the back of the head the whole way home, then washed my mouth out with soap. I knew she was really mad too, because she used "LAVA" (nice flavor... but gritty).

But, I digress, as "hind-sight" is 20/20, I thought of other options:

TERRIBLE TWOS: What was the Nazi Party's pet name for Hitler & Eva Braun?

TERRIBLE TWOS: What is the name of an inner-city Asian Gang?

TERRIBLE TWOS: What do you call pissed-off Siamese Twins?

Nothing?!?!? I guess that's why Mom likes Peter Butler best!
