Improv and Contracted Killing

I'm apparently in an improv troupe now. I'm now entering yet another strange and eccentric chapter in my life which is actually a continuation of strange and eccentric chapters that first started years ago when I worked for the U.S. government hunting down and killing boll weevils. And you think that's a joke? I was one of the best contracted killers out there. I'd hunt them down with precision showing no mercy. I was like the Boba Fett of boll weevil hunters...except I didn't fall into a sarlaac pit. You try making it out on the mean rows in the cotton fields...see how long you last.

So, it looks like I'll have to put my plans on hold for now so I can commit some time to improv'ing...or however you say that. Speaking of which, I'm wondering if improv is any place for a mighty warrior. That might disqualify me on the spot if not. We'll see.

There won't be any shows with the new troupe until September, but I'll definitely let everyone know when our first show is. But remember, if you do come out to a show, hecklers will be shot on site.

In the meantime, you should go to some of the Improv Nashville shows. There's normally one every other weekend. Check out the schedule here and add the group as your MySpace friend.

Who knows...if you go, you might meet that baby that trades walnuts for gold.

Have a nice day!

Did Central High School have a drama department? If so, were you involved in said department.

Break a leg.

The closest thing we had was a literature class I took where we had to get up and read Shakespeare in the Audio Visual room. Everyone stood up there and read their lines in a monotonic manner while just standing there. I tried to play it up a bit and speak in a proper Shakespeare way, but no one else would ever "bite" and play along.

So...you see...it's their fault I never made it in showbiz. lol

Yes, I often damn Bradshaw for their lack of a taxidermy department.
