I had a dream this morning where Cody was teaching me strange warm-ups that he had learned. The only one I remember involved four people standing in a roving rectangle with a fifth person in the middle. Randomly anyone could call out a name, whether it was made up, a celebrity, or someone we knew. After saying the name, you would then say how they died. Then someone else would randomly go. There was also switching spots and lots of slow movement as people shifted the rectangle and left the middle or went to the middle. it was fun. i did a couple and other people went. then i pointed at Cody at stopped walking and said, "Cody Dearing, inside out." then i woke up.
It had some ridiculous name that didn't fit it, but I can't remember what it was. Cody, would you like to name it now, in the corporeal world, please?

If you disrespect your character, or play it just for laughs, it will sell some gags, but it's all technique.

That sounds a little like the game we played in the van that one time that we can't remember now. Something about naming a celebrity, and someone else says something about them, and someone else says how they die, and something about guessing... i can't remember. I wish I could cuz we laughed a lot. But I guess the time for laughing is over... Ah well. Those were the days.
They call me Dollar Bill 'cause I always make sense.
