Topic 18: Bone Squirreling

“Imaginary home remedies to cure imaginary ailments”

This cure has been passed down to me through the ages. From your grandfather and his grandfather before him. You know when the bone squirreling and abdominal cross-pollinating start coming on real heavy. Here’s what you do. First you need to get three separate pails of ice cold water, a jar of cured meat, three to four medium sized hens, and a whole mess of horses. They must be placed three inches apart from one another with the handles pointed due west. After that strip down to nothing but your grundlewares, but don’t forget to cover the bits. You are not trying to impress anyone now. Take the cured meats and eat them right quick. If you take longer than a minute to eat all those you have to wait another ten days before attempting this cure again. After you are chocked full of meats place as many hens as you can under your right arm pit. Three works, but four will speed up the whole process. Take the cold water and have a trusted person dump it on you and the hens. It is important that the hens get WET. They will get more pissed than a hive of bees in a river, but you need to hold on tight to those hens. You can’t let them go! Finally, and this is the most important part of the whole event, you need to ride a pack of no less than one-hundred horses around the Florida everglades. With it being a swamp down there, you should make sure all the horses are wearing life vests. Follow these steps and your days of chiseled woman syndrome and overactive face quaking will be a thing of the past.

Topic 17: Impov for Hire

“If Hobbies Could Make You Rich”

Hmm. If hobbies could make me rich. I hope my hobbies do eventually make me some cash, but lets assume it won’t be directly my hobby as I’m sure it will share a tangential relationship. If we are talking making money at something that most likely won’t make me any money it would have to be doing improv. It’s super fun, but if I could make money at it to without being a corporate shill that would be amazing. Being on stage and performing is one of the most fun and exciting things I do and to be able to do it and sustain my living would be pretty awesome. I would say I could see it becoming tedious and boring if I am forced to do it, but if I could just do it when I wanted and that generated all the cashes. Well, giddy up.

Topic 16: A Little Braggin’

“Brag a little”

This is a little awkward. I mean you are supposed to be humble. I am going to treat this kind of like the “what is your greatest strength?” question they ask you in job interviews.

This is something I do pride myself on a little if only because it’s something I see so rarely. We all make mistakes, it’s part of being human, but it’s about what you do after the mistakes have been made. Do you learn from them and move forward or are you constantly attacked by your failures? I exercise the former and it has guided me pretty well. If you accept that failure is an inevitability that everyone experiences in one way or another you can accept it, reassess the situation, and replot the course. This is really what I think my bragging is about. Resilience. If you want to accomplish something, anything bad enough it will happen. There will be setbacks, for that I am sure. If you can deal with them and keep moving forward than you can accomplish pretty much anything (within the physical laws of the universe). That’s what I do and that’s what I’m strutting all around about.
