Bad Boys, 7/19/12

Byron: What do you want to do with your life?

Danny: I wanna be a robot with a movie screen and show Ferris Beuller's Day Off on a crappy spaceship!

ALSO LATER

Danny (as the previously mentioned robot): Now you will watch the movie 'Ferris Beuller's Day Off'. (realizes that he has to act out a movie he's never seen) Oh-ho-ho, shit.

From the Cubbies show, Improv Fest Oklahoma, 7/21/12:

First guy: Have you seen 12 Monkeys?
Second guy: You mean... like, all at once? Or ever?

(any help identifying these guys would be great)

8/01/12

While teaching 9-13 year olds in the Youth Program. We were working on story spine.

Kid #1 - Once upon a time there was a pig with no name
Kid #2 - And everyday he searched for someone who loved him and could tell him his name
Kid #3 - Until one day he found someone who loved him
Kid #4 - And because of that, he ran away from the farm and went to his new owner's house
Kid #5 - But because of that, he got mud all over the new owner and the new owner fainted.
Quinn (Gloria's kid) - So the pig ran out and got some oink-ment to rub on his new owner.
Kid #7 - Until finally he rubbed the oink-ment on his owner and saved him.
Kid #8 - And ever since that day the pig and his new owner lived happily together in their new home.


so. perfectly. awesome.

I'm dying to know if this pig ever got a name and what was that name?

His name should be oink-ment.
