CAESAR’S TAHOE – IMPROV ALL-STARS

Saturday, August 23

Players – Laura Hall, Linda Taylor, Julie Larson, Sean Masterson, Chip Esten, Jeff Davis, Brad Sherwood, Kathy Kinney, and Colin Mochrie.


Full house. I had the same seat as the night before. Front row, slightly House Left.

There was seated at my table a man and his 9-year-old son. The man, Cory, was pretty excited to see the show even though they had been misled into believing by the ticket agent that Ryan and Wayne would be there. When he bought his tickets he was assured emphatically that Ryan and Wayne would be performing that evening. He asked a number of times because his son, Michael, was a fan of Wayne’s. I told them to not worry, that they would still have an amazing time, that the show is great without them. Even with no Ryan and no Wayne, they were still pretty jazzed, especially at how good their seats were. I warned Cory that the language at these casino shows could get kind of racy and he was fine with it. Cory said that it was “probably the same stuff Michael hears at the school.” They were both VERY excited to know that Colin was performing, who Cory was a big fan of and also Kathy who Michael was a fan of from The Drew Carey Show. Neither of them knew that Kathy did much improv and I told them that she was good and traveled often with the troupe. I told Michael that when the curtain went up that from our vantage point we could see the cast backstage and to make sure to look for them. (He did while Colin did the intros he kept pointing the players out to his dad. *G*) When the show was in progress, I stole glances at them and they were having a blast. Afterwards, Michael said it was the most fun he had ever had. *G*

So . . . the music began . . . curtain went up and as usual, Laura and Linda were in place playing. Again, we could see Colin in the wings doing his introductions. The intros were pretty much the same as the first night. He did the “Hello Caesar’s Tahoe – are you ready for some Improv???” bit again. He also said, “Welcome to the Improv All-Stars!! Which has absolutely, positively nothing to do with Whose Line Is It Anyway?” And then he managed to work into ALL his intros the phrase “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” Cute.

The cast was pumped, jumping up and down as Colin did the intros. By the way, Jeff Davis, who was joining them for the second night, can bounce pretty high. *G* Colin did his usual “pacing around and patting folks on the back” thing that he did the previous night.

The wardrobes:
Laura and Linda --- again, I have no idea.
Julie - ????
Sean – black pants and a blue shirt, I think
Jeff – black jeans, black tshirt with red design, black jean jacket
Brad – same outfit as night before, yellow shirt, blue jeans
Chip - ????
Kathy - ????
Colin – same black slacks as night before, long sleeve button down navy shirt

When they came onstage, the guys started passing out the paper and pens for the game of SENTENCES later on. For some reason, Chip refused to give me a pen. He gave me paper . . . but no pen. Pretty funny. He was teasing . . . Paper only. No pen. Silly Chip.

QUESTIONS ONLY:
The scene was a Wedding. Early on in the game, Chip asked a question the audience buzzed him out. He stopped, looked at the audience, repeated it slowly, and then emphasized the question by drawing a question mark in the air. Colin then asked, “Don’t you think the educational system should focus more on getting people to recognize questions?” Colin followed up with, “Isn’t it sad when an audience doesn’t know the difference between a question and a statement?”

When Brad came forward for a round, he indicated that he was both the bride AND the groom, that he was a hermaphrodite. Jeff, who had earlier been designated as the groom, was surprised to find this out and wished he knew that before he had popped the question. I do remember at one point that Brad said a statement and the audience missed it. He followed up with “Can you believe I just said a statement and no one said “ehhhh? (buzzer sound).” Jeff and Brad had a good long run of questions, and actually managed to build on the scene. Jeff finally got stumped and the game ended with Brad winning.

SONG STYLES:
Colin pulled MaryAnne from the audience and she was quite nervous. She kept hanging onto Colin’s hand throughout the entire beginning of the game. He asked her what she did for a living and she was embarrassed and said, “I’m only a bookkeeper.” Colin said, “Don’t be embarrassed. Nothing to be ashamed of, its an important, noble profession.” MaryAnne held his hand and quietly said, “You are so sweet.” (Awwwww. . . )

She said that she worked as a Bookkeeper for her husband Steve who was a Contractor. She said that she had three kids. Colin said, “Oh, one of each?” And MaryAnne laughed. Colin said, “Oh, please . . .that’s an old joke.”

It was so cute . . . all through this, MaryAnne would not let go of Colin’s hand. She just kept hanging on tight. Colin acknowledged it at one point, but kept going on interviewing her. Her hobby was sailing and she said that she loved sailing in the San Francisco Bay. Colin reacted favorably, nodding that it was indeed nice.

Jeff said that he had a question for her husband Steve and asked him if he had a special nickname for MaryAnne. Steve said, yeah that he called her “Mare” at times. Which just set Jeff off on a series of snorts and whinnies and pounding his foot on the floor like he was a horse. I think Chip teased Steve along the lines of “You call your wife a mare? How romantic is that??” Colin then told the nervous MaryAnne that Chip and Jeff, “both of whom are harmless,” were going to sing to her in the style of an R & B ballad. (And she finally let go of his hand.) Chip and Jeff did a GREAT song, with both of them trying to win her affection. At the end of the song, both Chip and Jeff ended up trying to crawl into her lap. Chip in fact, managed to straddle her lap and Jeff grabbed her from behind. She gave them both a big hug and was laughing throughout it all. Jeff and Colin helped her back to her seat. Very cute lady.

SENTENCES:
The guys went out to collect the sentences and at one point, Brad stood waiting on the edge of the stage while someone frantically filled out a slip at the very last moment. He tapped his foot impatiently and looked at his watch, like “come on already, I haven’t got all night . . .” Then, as he got the final sentence, he said, “Hey, it’s a phone number!” And shoved it into his pocket.

Julie asked for a made up holiday and someone enthusiastically shouted “Tuna Day!” from the audience. Julie loved it (well, the delivery of it, at least . . .) and she turned the game over to Sean and Kathy.

Sean and Kathy played . . . not sure how it came about but not only was it Tuna Day but it was also the day that Kathy was scheduled to have her spleen out. They also lived in a lovely little small but homey trailerpark.

Various sentences:
“I have a snake in my boot.”
“I love Drew Carey.” (To which Kathy said wryly and with a hint of disgust, “Yeah, you and everyone else.” The gang on the stools upstage loved this . . . and laughed hard.)
“Canadians can’t get drunk.” (Colin kind of cocked his head like, “Huh?” and Julie laughed at him.)
“I left Canada cuz the Mounties liked me in the wrong way.” (The cast loved this and pointed and laughed at Colin, who just laughed and shook his head.)

After the game, Kathy pulled the “Mounties” sentence and took it up to Colin and put it in his shirt pocket. He patted it and laughed. Also . . . for some reason, at the end of the game, Chip grabbed the bowl of unused sentences and threw them into the audience where they came fluttering down like confetti.

NEW CHOICE:
Chip called and Brad and Julie played.

Chip asked for a type of a relationship, a non-sexual situation. Someone shouted “Pregnancy!” And Chip, said, “No, nothing involving this (pointed to his groin) or that (pointed to his ass).” After a while, he came up with a scene involving a Brother and Sister.

Brad was the Snotty Little Brother of Julie, a married woman, who was upset that her brother still lived at home with her and her husband. She came up and knocked loudly on his bedroom door. Brad answered the door, and Chip had him recreate the door opening a number of times. The door was:
A regular door.
New Choice.
A trap door in which Julie plummeted to the bottom of.
New Choice.
A Steel door with a ton of locks and bolts.
New Choice.
A drawbridge.
New Choice.
A door that was made of cotton candy and it was opened by setting fire to the cotton candy.

Brad started the scene in a funny “little annoying brother” kind of voice. And Chip took Brad through a number of different voices and accents. Chip kept saying New Choice over and over again and Brad kept having to come up with new accents. Julie got the giggles at this point and kind of had them throughout the rest of the game.

At one point, Brad told Sister Julie, “You messed up my mojo.” And the voice he used was very funny. So, Chip said “new choice, but do it exactly the same, cuz it was so funny.” And Brad did.

Julie tried to prompt Brad into dancing by putting on some music. Brad could see where this was going and said that he couldn’t dance cuz his record player was broken. Julie said, yeah, but that his 8-track tape player worked. And then Brad, in an effort to get out of dancing, went through a number of New Choices in the way that he busted the 8-track tape player.

CELEBRITY IMPROV JEOPARDY:
Brad was the host, Alex Trebek.

Kathy was Margaret Mead, an anthropologist who studied the gambling habits of Nevada and California residents. Brad/Alex: “And what have you learned?”
Kathy/Margaret: “That men have penises.”
Brad/Alex stared at her for a moment . . . and moved on.

Sean was a man who refused to give his real name but his online name was “Viagra Testosterone”. He claimed to be “a Man’s man . . . I’m a full man! A full man! A full goddamn MAN!” Brad/Alex asked if he could just call him “Viagra” and Sean/Viagra shouted, “Hell, yes!” During the entire playing of Jeopardy, Sean/Viagra kept getting an erection. And occasionally, he would look down at his crotch and proclaim, “It’s a false alarm!” and move on with the game.

Jeff was Osama Bin Laden.
Brad/Alex: “Ya know, I just wanna shove a red hot poker up your ass.”
Jeff/Osama: “That’s okay. I get that all the time.”

Colin was Ron Sequitur. Hysterical. Just out of the blue, Colin/Ron would say the stupidest things. Stuff that came out of nowhere.

Types of Headwear – Helmets:
Colin/Ron: “What kind of glove does the devil make you wear?” Brad/Alex had to sound it out . . . “a hell mitt.”

Types of French Food – Escargot:
Kathy/Margaret: “What do you say to an S car?”

Types of Trees – Maple:
Kathy/Margaret (or maybe Colin/Ron): “What kind of lubricant is used for sex in the Canadian outback?”

Types of Fabric – Silk:
Sean/Viagra: “What is KLIS backwards?” To which Brad/Alex said, “True . . .but it’s not funny.”

Things A Cat Can’t Swallow – Fur balls:
Colin/Ron: “What do you have when you castrate a panda?”
Brad/Alex said, “Yes, and we would have also accepted “Ling ling ding a lings.”

Famous Lakes – Titicaca:
Jeff/Osama: “What do you say when you have poop on your boobs?” (Note: The same joke was used by Brad in Atlantic City . . . wonder who said it first??)

Sean/Viagra: “What costs an extra $50 in Philly?”

Jeff/Osama: “What is the original name of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?” Brad/Alex agreed . . .and acknowledged that Disney changed the name to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when it was discovered that Titicaca also meant “poop on your boobs.”

Odd Names of Cocktails – Sex On The Beach:
Colin/Ron – “What’s an easy way to get crabs?”

Final Jeopardy: Native American Tribes
For Kathy/Margaret: “Warshaw” (sp???). Brad had a hard time hearing the answer and apparently pronounced it wrong a couple of times and the audience kept correcting him. He finally said, ”WARSHAW . . . the correct pronunciation for our Warshaw friends in the audience tonight.” He repeated it a couple of times and turned to Kathy/Margaret who said, “What does a woman do to her vagina after sex?” And Brad, Jeff and Sean all lost it, turning upstage laughing. Colin just covered his face in his hands and shook his head. Everyone was cute . . . very cute. Kathy just stared straight ahead, oblivious to the mayhem she had just caused.

For Sean/Viagra: “Illina” (sp???)
Sean/Viagra: “What do you ask for when someone puts out come coke?”

For Jeff/Osama: “Iroquois” (sp???)
Jeff/Osama had wagered a copy of his favorite movie on DVD.

Brad/Alex: “Yes? And the title is?”
Jeff/Osama: “The Muppets Take Manhattan.”

The audience groaned and gasped . . . and it was obvious that Jeff didn’t realize what he just said. It suddenly clicked for him (September 11 and the “Taking of Manhattan”) and he said, “Oh, God, I didn’t even think of that. I’m sorry . . .” He looked horrified. Trying to salvage the moment, he insisted that he only loved that movie cuz it had Charles Grodin in it. Brad/Alex followed up with, “And that’s another reason for me to hate you.”

I can’t remember what his answer was to the topic “Iroquois” but it was very funny and the crowd cheered him. Jeff/Osama smiled, “Aha! I got them back!” (meaning back on his side and all was forgiven for the earlier tasteless Manhattan joke). Brad/Alex said, “Yeah, but there is still no fucking way I’m gonna let you win this game.”

For Colin/Ron: “Navaho”
Out of the blue, Colin/Ron announced, “This is a nice floor.”
Colin/Ron wagered his pants.
Brad/Alex: “Oh, a $2 value.”
Colin/Ron: “No, not these pants.”
Brad/Alex asked him for his answer to Navaho. And Colin was stuck. Big time. Cute . . . but he had nothing and it was obvious. He kind of swayed and rocked back and forth . . . and the audience even cheered him on but he was still stuck. He came up with (somehow it managed to get mangled as it came out of his mouth) a very lame: “What does a ho say when she sneezes?” Brad/Alex said no, that wasn’t funny enough and that Kathy/Margaret was declared the winner.

STYLES:
While Jeff explained the game, he spied an ENORMOUS souvenir cup for a beverage in the audience. It was at least 12 inches tall, gold, looked a little like a Roman pillar. Very tacky. Had a LONG straw coming out of the top of it. Jeff teased the audience member about it and then moved on with the intro to the game. Little did anyone know at that point how important that cup would later become on . . .

Brad and Chip played while Jeff called. The scene was of a Photographer. Brad started off taking pictures of kids in the park. The audience groaned, and Brad insisted, “not THOSE kinds of pictures” and continued on to chastise the audience until Chip entered. Chip was a bad tempered model who was busy and wanted Brad, the photographer to hurry up and take his picture cuz he had other gigs to get to.

Style of King Fu – there were lots of flips and dives by Chip that Brad tried desperately to get on film. He asked Chip to do a rather complicated move over again cuz he missed it the first time. At one point, Chip got stuck in a split position and he ended up grabbing his crotch in, what looked like, pain. Brad asked him if he was okay, and Chip said, “yeah, but I broke my pants.” I think he feared that he had really split his pants.

Style of Romance – done as a series of dreamy romantic asides to the audience. Brad said, “I see by the splitting of your pants that you are in love with me.” Brad also, I believe, said, “He made my lens zoom.”

Director/Sam Peckinpaugh – Done as a big time classic western, including a shoot out in the O K Corral. The scene ended with both Brad and Chip shot in the stomach.

Broadway Musical – Laura joined in on this one and provided music. Chip and finally Brad did hilarious dance steps all the while with these massive bullet wounds to their stomachs. Brad started to do a soft shoe tap dance kind of number and Jeff called Freeze. The audience was disappointed to not see more of Brad’s dance so Jeff said, “oh, okay . . .go ahead.” And Brad continued on with his dance number, all the while his guts were falling out and he was slipping and falling down on his entrails as he danced.

Style of Science Fiction – Chip and Brad both started off the scene speaking in Alien Gibberish. Chip then spied the gaudy enormous souvenir drink cup in the audience and ran and grabbed it from the audience member. He used it as a saber and began to make threatening swipes at Brad with it. Brad said, “oh, shit” and ran frantically along the front of the stage looking for another cup. He couldn’t find one, so he grabbed someone’s plastic cup that had watery ice in it . . . and meekly tried to stand up to Chip’s massive souvenir cup. Brad: “I’m fucked.” VERY cute. Jeff shouted Freeze. And while he asked the audience for another style, Chip took a long sip out of the souvenir cup.

Jeff asked the audience for their favorite movie . . . and someone shouted out something that obviously NO ONE else had heard of. Jeff, Chip and Brad all made fun of her . . . and she said, “It’s a Disney movie!” So they briefly did a Disney scene.

Jeff asked again for a favorite movie, and this time someone shouted PRETTY WOMAN. Chip discarded the drink cup on the floor and did a great Julia Roberts prancing around onstage. Brad, as Richard Gere, said, “I have to go feed my hamster.” Which I found hysterical . . . that “Richard Gere/Hamster in the ass” urban legend, ya know?

Jeff asked for a foreign country and Italy was chosen. Chip quickly returned to the souvenir cup, tipped it on its edge on the stage and said, “Ya know, I would have thought the Leaning Tower of Pisa would have been bigger than this.” Brad, as the photographer, took Tourist shots of Chip posing in front of the Tower of Pisa.

Style of Shakespeare – Chip still had the cup on the ground and he then turned it immediately and pretended that it was an offering to Brad, a King. Brad said something lewd bout the gift, saying that “me thinks this souvenir cup is . . . .” Chip in a sudden aside to the audience, “This swarthy gentleman who does make my doubloons enlarge.” He did a rather grandiose turn back to Brad and when Jeff shouted Freeze, Chip was directly in front of Brad with the cup mid waist level.

Jeff then called for Style of Porn. Brad without missing a beat, slowly walked up and “pumped” the straw in and out of the cup. He then took the cup from Chip and drank seductively from it. The crowd went nutso . . . they LOVED it.

It was a fun playing . . . all thanks to the gaudy cup they used as a prop. While the crowd cheered, Chip took another sip from the cup and passed it back to the audience member. He also shouted to the back of the house, “Can we please comp them another drink??”

MOVING BODIES:
Again, I almost got drug up onstage for a game! Kathy came over to me again but grabbed the guy next to me instead. Sheesh. One of these days its gonna happen. I hope not . . . but I think Kathy has scoped me out as a potential victim. *G*

Two people (Monty and Nina) were to provide the movements for Colin (Monty) and Julie (Nina). Kathy did the normal introductions for the game, “if you want Julie to move her arm, you do it like this . . . etc, etc.” When Kathy said, “and if you want Colin to bend over . . . ” and Monty took a scared step back like it was the LAST thing he wanted to ask Colin to do. Colin even got a mock scared look on his face. Very cute.

Kathy asked for a physical activity for the scene and Swimming was picked.

Julie started the scene with “Nice day for a swim?” and Julie’s mover immediately started to do swimming motions with Julie’s arms. Julie said that since she was still on land, that she was just practicing swimming. Colin’s arms were also being moved in a very lame way, so he said that he was practicing drowning.

At an early point in the game, Julie’s hands and fingers kept getting placed on Colin’s face, almost like she was petting him. She said, “You are so cute.” Colin’s mover took Colin’s hand and had him tap Julie’s nose, “You. Are. Too.” Three little taps. Cute.

Colin at one point was looking Stage Left and when his body got turned downstage, he was still looking Stage Left. He kept prompting the mover to get him to turn his head, but the guy didn’t get it. Poor Colin kept looking Stage Left for the longest time. At one point, the guy FINALLY turned Colin’s head, and the crowd cheered!!

Later on, Julie was patting Colin’s tummy. He said, “Been working on my abs. Can you tell?” Julie said, “Uhh . . .keep working on em.” Colin looked at her and smirked. Very cute.

Of course, there has to be a bald joke at each of these shows, and Julie got it in here. “Must be nice to go swimming and not have to worry about your hair getting wet.” Colin said, “Watch it . . .or I’ll start talking about your breasts.”

Alright . . .it was finally time for them to get in the water. Julie’s mover had Julie jump into the lake . . . and Julie was kind of swimming in place. Colin’s mover had Colin step forward so that he was at the very edge of the stage. And I mean, the VERY edge of the stage. Colin then said, “Okay watch me, I’m gonna – “ but before he could finish talking, Colin’s mover gave Colin a very hard shove forward. Colin lost his balance and flailed trying to regain it. He couldn’t really step forward cuz there was nowhere to step. He managed to regain his balance fairly quickly but not very gracefully. The poor audience member on the front row even shot her hand up at Colin and I think Colin might have grabbed that for support.

A round of gasps followed by dead silence.

Colin pretty much kept the same position, but he did take a half step backwards on his own. He also said in a teasing (but warning) voice, “Ohhh . . . watch it. Lawsuit.” Nervous laughter from the audience. To get further away from the edge of the stage, Colin said, “Watch my backstroke!” and the mover moved him safely upstage. In doing the “backstroke” to get further upstage, Colin’s mover just did the arms movements and then tried to drag Colin upstage without moving his legs . . . so again, Colin almost toppled over. By now, the audience realized that Colin was getting safely away from the edge of the stage and started to enjoy the game again.

But the whole “Shove Colin” was a very non-funny moment . . . nervous laughter, if anything, for a couple of moments. Everyone, the cast and audience, was in shock as to what happened. Or rather, ALMOST happened. Now, I honestly don’t think the guy *really* meant to try and knock Colin off the stage. BUT, I also don’t think he realized how *close* they were to the edge. The mover just kind of stood there oblivious to it all. The cast on the stools, all of whom had been sitting watching the game, stood up. Chip and Kathy even took a step forward. And it looked like they might end the game, but they stepped back when Colin managed to get himself moved further upstage and in a safer area. It was awkward. But just for a few moments. The game moved on safely with no damage done. In fact, for the rest of the game, Colin’s mover did next to no moves for Colin. Colin was pretty stationary for the remainder of the game. The game ended shortly after that.

FREEZE TAG:
I really think Colin dislikes this game . . . he kept himself out of it completely. And he often does at these live shows. Frankly, not one of my favs either.

Beginning positions: Jeff as a baseball player at the plate. And Chip on hands and knees. Jeff took advantage of his position and tried to spank Chip and Chip went through a number of spanking jokes as the other cast members tagged in. Also, the cast ended up milking Chip as if he were a cow. Toward the end, Brad ended up in a position of a shooter with a gun . . . and a run of “I’m sorry to have to do this . . .” (i.e. shoot you) jokes started.

Again, not many notes cuz its not really one of my favorite games.

SOUND EFFECTS:
Brad pulled Herb and Diane up onstage to provide SFX for Colin and Jeff. The dangerous profession of Smoke Jumpers was chosen. Herb proved to be quite good (for Jeff) but poor Diane was AWFUL (for Colin) . . . she did nothing. She didn’t even try. In fact, Kathy Kinney finally came over and took over doing the sound effects for Colin.

There was a fire and Jeff said that he and Colin had been called in to take care of helping to put it out. He said that they best get their airplane started up . . . and he spun the propeller, and they were amazed to watch the plane take off on its own.

Jeff said that since the plane was gone that they should take his Harley motorcycle. Colin decided he would use his jet pack. At this point, it became obvious that Colin’s SFX person was not gonna say a thing . . . she was nervous, or she couldn’t see, or she didn’t know what she was supposed to be doing. Whatever the reason, she just ended up standing there doing nothing for the rest of the game. I will admit that Colin didn’t really give her much to work with . . . but she just stopped trying all together pretty early in the game. So Colin was stuck with no one to do sounds for him til Kathy finally stepped in to help out.

Colin’s jet pack was malfunctioning so he suggested that they try using a giant rubber band to shoot them into the midst of the fire. They positioned themselves and then decided that being flung into the midst of the fire with no control was not such a good idea (Colin: “Ya know, let’s think this over . . .”) and they both stepped out of the contraption.

Jeff admitted to Colin that his name wasn’t really “Stef” and that he actually was Superman. He said that he had super powers such as “Freeze Breath”. Colin admitted that the only superpower that he had was that he could eat six pizzas at one time. So, together they managed to freeze the fire and Colin even helped by using the gas he had from eating those six pizzas. The game ended. Even without a sound effects person for Colin the game was still very funny.

GREATEST HITS:
Brad asked for a letter of the alphabet and got “B”. He then asked for a profession that began with the letter “B” and someone shouted, “Doctor!” Brad said, “No . . . but we would accept “Moron!” Finally someone said Bartender.

Julie and Kathy sold Songs of the Bartender and Chip, Brad and Jeff sang.

Julie and Kathy, try as they did, just did not manage to “click” at all. I love them both but here they both struggled in this game. The banter was not working at all. They were trying to out “bitch” each other, each accusing the other of being the biggest slut. For me, it just did not flow and there was no chemistry at all. Still think they are great . . .but they were off in this game.

First song was Classic Rock – “Drinking My Way To the Bottom of the Barrel”. No notes taken on the song itself.

Julie: ”Now myself, who has had no where the same amount of men as you have had, I’m just a country gal who likes Country Romance.” Next song was a Trucker Love Song called “Billy the Bartender.” No notes taken on the song itself.

Kathy admitted that she was a simple girl too who liked romance but she preferred Rap from the ghettos of Wisconsin. The next song was a Rap called, “8 Miles of Beer.”

As with all the rap songs, the guys did great. Chip and Brad kind of had a battle rap going back and forth and Jeff chose to play the stools ala a disc jockey. Chip at one point started chanting, “2 stools and a microphone . . . 2 stools and a microphone . . . “ over and over again. And Brad used that as the back up beat to his own rap. The rap was great and as always, these guys are just AMAZING together.


MOUSETRAP:
Brad introduced while the cast laid out the traps and rope. The traps kept going off . . . and during his usual intro Brad kept ticking off the number of traps as they kept going off behind him. With each trap that went off, the intensity of the game lessened (“93 traps meant a 7% less difficulty level”) but he still insisted the game was “dangerous as shit!” A profession was asked for Optometry was chosen.

Sean and Chip played. Sean had come to see Chip who asked him immediately to “Step right over here.” Both guys got hit pretty severely but by the end of the game, it was Chip who was getting hit the most. At one point he got it VERY bad and was jumping all over the place squealing in pain. Chip told Sean to cover his eyes and read the chart which was pretty funny since they had on the goggles.

Brad was extra vicious with the trap placement (and so was Colin) but it was mostly Brad who was out to get the players. At one point, Chip was just getting snapped over and over and over by Brad and Chip flailed about onstage and managed to catch an “innocent” (well, for the moment “innocent”) Colin. Chip grabbed Colin by the shirt and Colin shouted at him, “It wasn’t me . . . it wasn’t me!!”

Brad kept going after the fingers and the toes. Colin even snuck one in to get Chip on his ass. Toward the end of the playing, Chip managed to get 2 or 3 in row on the same foot and had traps stuck on both of his feet as he tried to walk around. As the game ended, both Chip and Sean were laughing so hard, that Sean sneaked a peak out from under his goggles as if he wasn't sure if they had stopped playing. They laughed at each other . . . and the game was over.

Thunderous applause . . . lots of shouts. Great curtain call with lots of bows!
