WatchThis is the pilot for Freddi Scheib’s great webseries, Missed Connections. I’m in Episode 3 and I punched up a joke here and there as well, so I’m heavily invested in this project. It’s sooooo good.

Emily Altman is a genius. This is the sketch that was awesome to perform. I hope I get to do it again. But, if you live in Buenos Aires, and have no plans on visiting New York City to see me in a live performance, you can certainly watch the above sketch!
Best 6 minutes spent on the internet. Emily, Ben, Onassis, love em.

Walk-Ons Vs. Tag-Outs
improvnonsense:
Walk-Ons and Tag-Outs are two ways to support a scene from the backline. As coaches, we often group them together when making adjustments “let’s not have any walk-ons or tag-outs for the first beats.” Or “Hey our second beats need more group support — let’s practice doing more tag-outs and walk-ons.” But they have very different effects. In general, I think you should do walk-ons...

Here is a video I keep forgetting that I took last August.
One day on the L Train I was telling Johnny McNulty that I always forget if Boston is above us or below us (even now I had to look it up again - it’s above us). So he took it upon himself to draw a map of the entire United States before I got off the train at Bedford.
It’s 10:30 mins condensed into 0:31, and the song clip is...

Hit the link for the full thing. This part stood out to me.
NG. I find myself peculiarly reminded of these strange stories that it seems everybody who’s written comics extensively has. Was it you that told me of the mysterious Superman pauper?

yet ANOTHER UCBT missed connection
HEY PEOPLE! The reason you like UCB folks so much is because they look cool and interesting, and the reason they look cool and interesting is because they have developed those traits to compensate for being shy and lonely. So guess what? All those cool interesting people you’re lusting for are literally desperate for someone to walk up and tell them how fucking cool and interesting they...

NO MORE COMMENTS
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Comments sections are the worst idea in the history of the internet.
Why does CNN have a comments section? Or the NYTimes? WHY? If people want to write a letter to the editor, then great. Let them write it to the editors, and let the editors read it, and if it’s awesome, let the editors print it.
But the way it’s set up is...

Liberal Tea Party
I figured it out, guys:
We’re not gonna pay for Medicare.
As a mental exercise, draw a Venn Diagram of Angry Old White People and the Tea Party. It’s a circle.
So, health care is pretty much dead right? Right, because we’re not going to start funding socialized health care in 2010. This is America.
So get a job you old bastards, because your next hip replacement is on you....

best science ever - Lower Working-Class Women’s...
Expletives of Lower Working-Class Women, published in 1992 in the journal Language in Society, is a rare sociolinguistic study of this inherently provocative topic. “This article,” wrote author Susan Hughes of the University of Salford, “sets out to look at the reality of the swearing used by a group of women from a deprived inner-city area.” Hughes surveyed six women in Ordsall, a part of Salford...

Many people assume that by the time the future arrives, they’ll be ready to deal with it. After all, time has sort of just slogged around for umpteen billion years, waiting until the last minute to even produce a sentient race. But the problem, as...
