DERP One million years ago, during Attorney General Jeff Sessions's confirmation hearings, Senator Al Franken (D-Hero) asked the slow-talkin' Alabammy redneck what he would do if, FOR HYPOTHETICAL, he found out Trumpers had secretly met with Russian officials. In response, Sessions answered a question Franken DID NOT ASK, saying, "I do declare, I, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, have never done a nookie down by the old creek with the Russian ambassador!" OK fine, this was the real quote:
I chatted once with a woman, an actress who had the previous weekend delivered a two-hour, one-woman play about Gertrude Stein at a local theater, impressing me greatly, and I asked her, "How did you do that?" She said that she took a few weeks, maybe two, and played a tape of the play over and over, every day, no matter what she was doing at the time, always working on getting it, and eventually she kept up with it. And then delivered it, on stage.
That is a wonderful story, and of course, Elaine got to tell her friends that not only did she kill, she killed with both her new act, and her old one as a curtain call. That is called comedian street cred.
that sounds right (i often memorize with physical activity). the closest i got to your friend was a 2 person play where i talked the first 35 pages. took me maybe 3 months to memorize?
but my point is: memorizing is a pain in the ass, but being a comedian is really complicated and much much harder. your brain is working on like 5 different levels - being onstage is more like 3.
We're getting an Ikea. Opens next Wednesday. The cops are expecting 12,000 each day for the first four days and are instituting road closings to deal with the traffic.
I would totally post a campy but appropriate and timely Lynda Carter Wonder Woman gif here, if my stupid browser worked like it should. So you'll just have to try to imagine it.
I'm in theatre (not comedy/not LA) and everyone I meet is really really smart. And we don't come close to comedians.
I think the orc army has the world's worst dental plan.
I think he's a better Senator than comedian. The right wing gasbags threaten to run for office but they just don't have the guts.
A number of years ago Elayne Boosler came up from LA to try out a new act at San Francisco's Punchline. She was hilarious.
She was so funny after it was over the audience began to chant "encore - Encore!"
She said "I'm a comedian, not a musician. I don't have an encore."
We kept chanting "ENCORE!"
She said "Well - I could do my old act."
The audience went nuts. She said "OK" and then she did another 45 minutes - her entire old act.
Is this the smoking gun, or just another raging fire?
"Lies are like a box of chocolates."
To be specific, the "Whizzo Quality Assortment."

Ooh! My state has step sister. At least it isn't any of that weird shit.
I feel like it's my fault. The strange man with glasses from the DVD Easter egg _did_ say 'Don't blink'.
Neither did I. Oh, was that him with the pre-teen pee hookers? I stand corrected.

Don't need no polygraph, which isn't admissible in evidence. Hint: because it is junk science.
He is already on record for perjury. Things he said directly contradict things that are objectively proven to be true.
Sessions couldn't find his honor and ethics with both hands and a map.
