DaveScot saves me from fools

Yes, there it is; DaveScot, former blog czar at Uncommon Descent, has taught me something. And, strangely enough, if he had a lesson in mind it was probably the one I learned: Leave the IDiots alone. I have mixed feelings about letting them be, but I also know that I’ll be happier [...]

Blipey’s fillin’ in!

The Kansas City Fringe Festival opens tomorrow and someone pulled out. The show is advertised, the venue open and people will probably be coming…to see no show.
What to do? What to do?
Well, the organizer of the venue, in what surely will go down in history as an epic blunder, asked me if I [...]

Blipey doesn’t get to go to class :(

I was looking forward to a week-long clown / physical theatre seminar this week. Unfortunately, there were not enough registrants to go ahead with the class. I am very disappointed; an opportunity to work in a general sense has gone by the wayside.
Doing shows and teaching can work your performance muscles and pay [...]

If Only My Fantasy World were True!

Many centuries ago, learned men strove to turn lead into gold. Today, learned men strive to turn embryonic stem cells into miracle cures. Obviously, very little has changed in all that time.

Do you really need a toothbrush after the Rapture?

Or during, for that matter?  Well you can now put your second coming fears to rest, the good Reverend Jim Bakker will supply you with all you need…for only $150.00!  That’s right, as I read in The Pitch Weekly this week, you can get your own Revelation Generation Packpack!
For those of you who haven’t been [...]

Blipey’s Theory of Auto Problems

A: one has a car
B: one has a block of freetime
C: car problems exist
The Theory:
(A and B) = ~C
~B = having 2 auditions, rehearsal, and a lunch appointment
(A and ~B) therefore C

My Mom Would’ve Killed Me

There was a group at the show this evening that really got on my nerves.  Well, two of them anyway–a father and son.  I guess my first gripe is “why would you bring a 10 year old to a murder mystery show?”  A close second would be, “Why do you allow him to act like [...]

Mystery Train

A four course steak dinner, cocktails, and a little murder thrown in for good measure–what could be finer?
The answer, of course, is nothing (at least after the third cocktail). So, if you’re in Kansas City or planning to be here, come and check out the The Mystery Train show.
The current show, Hold-up on Deadman’s Creek, [...]

On the Road Again

Well, it looks like I’ll be hitting the road again.  This time I’ll be touring The Boston Tea Party, teaching the history of the American Revolutionary War to grade schoolers.  September 11th through May 11th, I’m sure I’ll be very tired of the show by then, but it still beats the hell out of a [...]

Sometimes you just have to shake your head…

So, I came across this, uh…interesting blog.  The very first thing I notice is his banner scripture from Ecclesiastes.
The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. –Ecc. 10:2
So I tried to ask him if he thought that this quote proved that God preferred Republicans; surprisingly, [...]
