I think I smell a new improv format...

The Harry Ransom Center at UT is one of the world's great literary archives. They just bought David Mamet's personal papers, adding to a collection that includes, just off the top of my head, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, Tom Stoppard, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Woodward and Bernstein's Watergate papers ...

Nu Age Cafe (www.nuagecafe.com) - Tasty and slightly upscale vegan place in Tarrytown (24th & Exposition).

I've heard good things about the veggie dogs and veggie chili at Dog Almighty (www.dogalmightyhotdog.com), though I've personally never been able to resist the siren call of their meat-based ...

what was wrong with kiking?

When I thought of the word, I pronounced the first I in kiking with the same sound as the first I in biking.

Don't shortchange Cody, I think he understood that. I'm just curious to know how the word could be used as a verb... It's better someone doesn't attempt to ...

bi yaking. But it probably didn't test well with conservatives. They don't like bi yaksuals.

I thought liberals shopped at REI and conservatives shopped at Cabela's...

I cast my vote for "bi-yaking" as funnier and more elegant. But maybe they thought, "words with 'k' sounds are funny; if one is ...

The end of an era.

I like engineers, motherfucker.

Hey, so do I. My wife and most of my friends are engineers of one sort or another. In fact, I have an engineering background myself. I'm a full-fledged, card-carrying, equation-solving member of the tribe. Which is why I feel entitled to make fun of engineers- it's ...

It would almost be worth going just to see what an "engineers-only" party thrown by IEEE is like.
On second thought, no it wouldn't.

Wow. Now THAT is going to be a blowout to remember.

I like the Hotel Wolcott. It's a little old and run down, and it has the slowest elevators this side of Slowelevatorland, but it's got a lot of character, the location is great (31st St., between 5th Avenue and Broadway, a few blocks from Penn Station), and for Midtown it's extremely cheap (~$100 ...

I think the issue at hand is settled, but, for those of you who are curious, here is the translation-

Dave: Unfortunately, I don't know how to do lights or sound.

Mo: I'm sorry, but I break hearts. For the lights, it's simple. Ask me for the instructions before the warmups. If someone else doesn't ...

Heureusement, il n'est pas aussi facile casser mon coeur. Mais je ne veux pas casser les couers de tous ce qui veulent la lumiere sur l'etape. Mais, si vous dites que vous pouvez m'enseigner avant le "Maestro," tout c'est bien.

Malheureusement, je ne sais pas faire ni les lumieres ni le son.

We're hardly through evolving, we're just going to start controlling the way we do it through medical advances, like robotic limbs, artificial organs, and genetic modifications.

You thought tattoos were hardcore? Wait until you cn graft genes for giant bat wings right on to your DNA.
