My good friend Sullivan over at Redrighthand.net had a treatment of his performed by two actors in front of a live audience. It's a smart, funny psychological thriller that starts off well and gets stronger throughout the entire piece. Give it a shot if you've got 20 minutes:
Thanks to everyone who submitted their entries for my Mad Lib contest! An unintended result of this contest was that it became a bizarre experiment in groupthink. The 26 responses I got were highly varied, but, more interestingly, they had some surprising similarities. I thought I'd break that down for you first, before getting to the winning entry.
For color, 4 people chose "chartreuse", 2 chose "fuchsia" (neither spelled it correctly), and 2 chose "purple".
For sexual position, 8 people chose "reverse cowgirl" or some variation, 3 chose "69", and 2 thought that "The Perfumed Garden" was a sexual position. It's actually a collection of different sexual positions.
For cute name for someone or something, 3 people chose "Shnookums", 3 chose "Pumpkin", and 2 chose "Pookie".
For type of liquid, 3 people chose some type of milk, 2 chose "syrup", and 2 chose "vinegar". Only 1 chose "semen" (well, actually, they said "spooge".
For type of taste, 5 people chose "tangy", and 2 each chose "pungent", "lemony", or "minty".
For type of fruit or vegetable, 6 people chose "kumquat", 4 people chose "eggplant", and one genius chose "vegetable juice".
For orifice (this was the most interesting one), 11 people chose "ear"! 6 chose "nostril", 3 chose "navel", and I contend that the belly button is not an orifice. 2 chose some "rectum" in some form, 1 chose "colostoma", 1 chose "dickbox", 1 chose "blow hole", and 1 chose "pie hole". I'm fascinated by the fact that only one person chose mouth and so many people chose ear, all independent of each other.
When figuring out a course of action, I ask "WWIDIIWFTFAKWWH?" or "What would I do if I was from the future and knew what would happen?"05:01:51 PM March 19, 2010from Brizzly
