Hey there, and welcome to the blog for the B.Y.O.I. blog, brought to you by the letter ‘B’ for Belly Dancing. Tonight we had a very special intermission act. Ms. Jamie Lee Fury’s Belly Dancing. Our Cast tonight included Ben, Beth, Adam, Jimmy, Jon, and Daniel.
Tonight started with a bang coming from Daniel. His great R.E.S.P.E.C.T. speech reached out to all those present in the room, and then some. Great job Daniel.
Jon and Ben taught us all about ‘Punking to Help, Not to Hurt’. Meaning giving traits or gifts that help add to a scene, rather than just randomizing, and leaving your scene partners stranded. Cranberry’s was the topic of choice. When someone says something, the other partner should listen and help add to the scene. And thats what we call Yes and That’s how it’s Done.
Ben warmed us up by splitting the audience into 3 groups. Group 1 was The Incredible Hulk. Group 2 was Spider-Man. And group 3 was Superman. After many times aiming back and forth, group 1 was victorious.
Our F.A.M. tonight was Tana. She is a singer, and she met one of her best friends working at the front desk of her job. She is also a nurse in training because she really likes to help people. ‘Hold on’ are her favorite words to say strictly due to how she says it. She also takes a poll to try and find out why guys ‘like to screw virgins’.
Revolver - Adam and Jimmy - learning about virgins, Ben and Adam - ahahaha , Beth and Ben - sings and talks, Beth and Jimmy - Amsterdam.
Sport Commentator - Daniel and Beth Commentated about the sport of Brushing Your Teeth. Jimmy and an audience member helped to mime this sport out for all to see. Shooting each other with tooth-paste, water hoses, and stealing the other competitors fake teeth was just some of the great competition happening in this game tonight.
2nd round - Adam and an audience member commentated this great sports event, riding the bus. Jon and Jimmy are professional riding busers, with expert skillz.
Excuses, Excuses, Excuses - poor Beth, she had a hangover, got stuck in traffic, and her pet alligator got loose and now she is late for work at the agency for choosing high schools. Great job goes to Jimmy and the audience member that helped mime why she was late to her boss Daniel.
2nd round - Ben was late for work because the walk of shame, kid is sick, and lost his pants. Jon and Beth helped him out mime-ing out those actions so Ben could tell his boss, Adam.
Irish Drinking Song - Jimmy, Daniel, Adam, and Ben rocked this song out all about ‘The Front Desk”, “Having a Best Friend”
***INTERMISSION***
What Are You Doing? - Tickling speedos, teaching sympathy, beating mother. LOL!
Short Cutz - Slrobin Hood, aka Slum Robin Hood. He steals from the middle class and gives to the upper class just for kicks and giggles. ‘I passed 6th grade.’ ‘That means you are in the middle!’ ‘No it doesn’t, it means that I have done all that i was suppose to pass so that I could get to where I am now.’
Famous Last Words - Of; Rudolph, ‘i just realized how bad it is to be horny in the Red Light District.’ Dick Cheney, ‘Boom, Alright, you got me!’ Keyboard, ‘Ctrl+Alt+F*ck You!’ Kate Gosselin, ‘I was wondering if i could go on that show, The Bachelor?
Remake - Beth and an audience member make a great scene all about forgetting to buy some munchies. Jimmy and another audience member remade the exact same scene only using mime and subtitles. Jon and yet another audience member onces again re-created the same scene, only this time they had to do it as a biography.
With time to spare, and time to kill. the cast decides that to do another Irish drinking Song about college. Ben, Jimmy, Jon and Adam rocked this out and had the entire audience crying of laugher.
Great show tonight, and a very helpful audience tonight. Thanks once again to Ms. Jamie Lee Fury for a great intermission show.
