Saturday, August 30th, 2003

I went to ComedySportz for the first time last night. I loved it.

Six players in two teams played 8 improv comedy games. In "185", an audience member suggests something that might walk into a bar, such as a penguin. Players race to come up with bar jokes involving 185 penguins:

185 penguins walk into a bar.
The bartender says "Sorry, this is a Microsoft shop."

Bush: "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." (State of the Union address)

Rice: "The statement that he made was indeed accurate. The British government did say that."

Rumsfeld: "It turns out that it's technically correct what the president said, that the U.K. does -- did say that -- and still says that."

"Randy": "I never said your wife's a whore. What I said was: Jim found out your wife's a whore." (a comment on dKos via causality)

Strong Badia's flag breaks many of the rules Josh Parsons used when he graded the world's flags. I wonder if the Brothers Chaps consulted that page before creating the flag.
