Austin Improv

About half the time I go to post something, I change my mind half way through it and think to myself, "This is not pertinent, nor is it funny enough to justify other people's time." and then i don't post it.
So, I'm wondering if this happens to other people and what some of those posts would have been.

A recent one for me was in response to the ticket price discussion in AIC General. It went something like this.

"What people don't understand is that I have no respect for anyone but myself. If I could clone myself I would have everything I needed in life including someone who knew exactly what I wanted in sex."

I didn't post it because it didn't really seem to fit the thread and it made me look like an asshole.

Does this happen to anyone else?

it happens to me on a smaller scale with sentences or even words. for instance i wanted to say "fuck this" but somehoew changed my mind and wanted to say "fuck that," but i'm a retard so i said, "fuck tits." yeah, that didn't go over well. sometimes in conversations, especially late at night, i'll respond to someone's statement in my head where i'll continue the conversation until i finally respond vocally, leaving everyone around me befuddled and slowly sidestepping towards the door.

About 1/4 of the things I start to write end up on the forum. I usually decide at some point that it's redundant or ill-advised.

i almost made a dirty joke in one of the other threads. then decided not to. then remembered this thread. so i'm posting it here instead.

Wes, do you honestly think that's how I like to do it?

I was going to quote Wes and say "...and I heard they do it with family!"

And then I thought it was just pooching someone else's bit so i didn't.

I'm with Jeremy and Andy -- only a little bit i end up posting. I'll get all worked up and start a post, get 9/10th of the way done, and then realize that I really don't need to publicly say that or that I am just being redundant.

Bob, you can poach my bit anytime.

Luckily, I have no filters and so I post many verbose rambling posts. In fact, thanks to several accidental double clicks, I have a posting rate of about 106% of everything I type.

Kill your filters! Improv for life!

thank you chicago improv network and boredom. stumbled onto this little beauty and almost didn't post it just now.



posted it.

I think I love you both a little more because of this post.

That's one scary picture.

That was from the Improv Fantasy League, which IO did for two summers. There were drafts and teams and we competed (a la the Cagematch) -- it was fun. I was trying to look "menacing." Trying. I love Dave's hyperbolic stats... "quiet"... "dangerous"...

I was also unemployed, had shitty glasses, and cut my hair once every 5 or 6 months. Oh, improv.

I thought that poster was long-gone (read: destroyed).

Apparently Dave uploaded all of them...

i almost just posted in the crush thread that i want to have chris allen's child.

i actually just thought about not posting this.

i'll erase it later.

My problem (or is it?) is that my internal censor gets turned off from time to time and I don't know why or when. So I post what I am thinking regardless...sometimes to my own detriment.

Most of what I post is utter BS created only to for shits and grins but usually makes me come accross as an asshole and extemely misogynistic, which is exactly what I want. I love duality!

I love you.

Looking at that picture, the washed-out image combined with the glasses makes you a pretty good ringer for Harold Lloyd.

Or maybe it's just that both of you are funny and I love you. I can never distinguish between the two.

Couldn't decide whether to post this or not, since I don't know if it's necessary going to work. So here it goes in limbo.

I'm leery of meetings and committees, since I lack patience.

Here's an idea: it'll be useful for those of us who don't attend meetings to have a database of a list of things that needs to be done, but doesn't take an entire comittee to do it. Small and large things like giving free tickets to the hotel next to the hideout. Or write webpage content for the summer workshops. Post on craig's list event list. To large things like, own full grant writing. Maybe a table with duty, estimated labor hours, date taken for ownership, date finished. Can be a simple text document that everyone has write access to. The committees can add stuff that needs to be done, and people can look at it whenever they have an odd free time. Maybe troupes can do that one month instead of hosting (which takes 7pm to 1 ish: 6 hours).

: ) You should post that somewhere real. Maybe even start a topic for it.
