And the fact that Erika and Stephanie were playing hicks "from Appalachia" made it hilarious when Stephanie was told something about God and she said, "I'm an artist. I don't believe in God."

The Starter Kit was also super on fire that night. We were up next, so I was doing my best not to pee myself laughing. I only remember:

(two brothers, one who is always out-doing the other)
<eric> god! i keep losing all my auctions! who the hell is this brooklyn_kid guy?
<justin> hey, guess what my screen name is?
<eric> asshole?

I agree, the Starter Kit's show was on fire. Here's some more I remember from the brothers:

<Eric> I unplugged you. When you're eight years old you can kill someone and not have it on your conscience.

-------

<Justin> Where you going?

<Eric> Los Angeles. I felt if I couldn't buy crappy Dodgers stuff on EBay, then I'd buy crappy Dodgers stuff at their stadium.

Shana, playing a 1940's mother who is seeing her son, who has fallen in love with a girl, off to World War 2:
"That's what you're fighting for. You're fighting for love. You're fighting for love... and freedom... and stopping genocide."

Shana had an even better line than the "stopping genocide" one. As the tough times in the 1940s led her espionage agent character to say...

"Sometimes life gives you lemons, and you gotta make Nazi stew."

You know what I heard...I heard Shana gets all of her lines from Barak Obama's campaign co-chair. Improv you can Xerox!!!

From the PgRaph set the same night as the Nazi stew line.

VAL: Do you think I'm pretty?
BADR: Why do you think I keep getting doormats that taste like meat?

The context being that Badr was a guy pestering his pretty neighbor about the fact that her dog kept eating his doormats.

Stephen Short initiated a scene in warm up with "sir, you've been standing in the camping section at Target for a long time"

From the Starter Kit tonight, I liked "Baby fairy"

"So you're a dandelion? And I can make a wish if I blow on you? *blows on him* Shut the fuck up!" -Asaf, Knuckleball Now in Double Barrel, Feb 29, in a conversation between who was the weed son and who was the fruit son.

"I've been on a boat, and I watched Back to the Future?" - Bob McNichol, Frank Mills in Double Barrel, Feb 29, when Erika's character tries to pass off a barnacle and flux capacitor as the reason a computer isn't working.

Brad has a great eye for buttons, and that was a killer button to that scene with a well-done callback to previous scenes. It was one of my favorite lines of the night too.

I loved i the smoking arm show on friday when bob said "its 2004, are we still doing that?!"

"A crate is a just a square-shaped barrel!" - Rachel M. from Research and Development, Threefer, in regards to Dave buying barrels of clementines ("They come in a crate! That's the only way you can buy them, which is in a crate!").

Alex and Terrill from $10Bourbon doing a scene together in last Friday's Double Barrell:

Terrill: I got bad back from Iraq.
alex: I've heard that before, I've had to buy shit I don't need for the last 4 years thanks to the war.
Terrill: Oh yeah, will had to carry a 90pound pack in 110 heat in the desert, while terrorist were blowing up our Hummves with IUD's !
alex: yep, I see why you got a bad back!
