Sorry about the weird resize issues, folks. We’re trying to straighten them out.

Brava - this piece cracks me up…and makes me want to ask Matthew lots & lots of questions…hmm, what do you have buried in your deep dark past Balthrop? ;) Kari, your expressions were great. When can we hang out? I miss you!

Zut Alore what a great piece! Never lie about ovaries.

Nice outing, all. Its nice to hand over a script and then see it crafted so well.
Say, that Kari was swell. I wish we could see more of her… perhaps in something dramatic and ongoing. If only there was such a project out there.
Stay tuned.

Damnit! I was told by certain people who shall remain nameless (*Kelli and Matthew* *ahem*) that it was Ginsberg. Sorry ’bout that.

it’s ok. happens all the time. i forgive you jeff. but only you.
March 12th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Thank you for your forgiveness. I will bask in it’s warm glow. And I’ll correct your name on future endeavours.
March 12th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
I don’t particularly care if you forgive me or not Kari. The piece shows that you are obviously a liar, which indicates to me that you were simply lying to Jeff to make him feel bad.

I don’t know, Matthew. Kari may not be lying to make Jeff feel bad. She is obviously a liar - no one can dispute that - but perhaps her purpose for lying is somehow… more noble. Maybe she’s in someway saving Jeff from future pain with her blatant fibbery? Or, maybe she is telling falsehoods for some financial gain?
I think the one thing we can agree on is Kari=Liar. That’s math. But she clearly has knowledge of the future and we need to know how. Is she from the future or some kind of witch?
The debate starts… NOW!

well i care *sniffle* sorry :(

Good job all. I think what amuses me most about this piece is that Matthew’s go-to accent is Scottish. Awesome.
March 12th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Good job guys. I’ve got to say that “I thought you said you had ovaries” cracked me up.

And this video teaches us that relationships can be fun and profitable! It was great! I really like Madame Danger- eye patches are so underrated.
And David, if it helps- anytime a woman offers that kind fibbery that makes a man ‘bask in its warm glow’, it is to better crush his soul in the future. Whether she does so by telling him that he’s “just like talking to a close girlfriend”; the laugh out loud 3rd date denial; or crushing him after 35 years of marriage with the revelation that she never loved him and have been sleeping with all his direct reports at the firm which is why he doesn’t share any features with his son. Yes, sometimes there is financial gain as well. But really it is for the kill. Each kind glowing word patiently leads to the inevitable take down. She will crush Jeff one day- tearing all joy and hope from his big blue eyes. It’s already been set in motion. I’m sorry.

Asher, my go to accent is actually American Broadcast Standard. I hide my Scottish accent very well when I’m around other people.

Are you ashamed of the Scottish accent? Why hide it?
March 13th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Okay… I take it back. I’m pretty sure Lisa is the witch, cause… DAMN! That is some cold juice!
How good does juice sound right now?!
Yum!
March 13th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
I am cold juice? I have juice? What kind of juice?
I’m confused.
And the juice is damned yet now YOU want juice.
This is some D.C. lingo I am unfamiliar with.
As for the witchiness, mebe I am. Mebe I’m not. My roommate did claim that I made the Bruins win on Saturday. I don’t think I’ve blighted any crops but I’ve mostly lived in cities… I can tell you one thing- You won’t catch me declaiming that “double, double toil and trouble” crap.
Even tho, sometimes fair is foul and foul is fair.

First and foremost, Lisa - dynamite Shakespeare drop.
Cold juice is not a DC term, rather a term from my childhood. It means your coldblooded. I think your ‘women will crush you’ diatribe qualifies you as being the cold juiciest person around.
I believe, as you are witch, that you frequently bathe in the blood of babies to keep you young. It is the, literally, the only thing that makes sense.
By the by, thanks for the Bruins win.
March 13th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Heh, thanks. Thought you’d enjoy that.
Hmm, okay, I can go with the descriptive. I am cold and juicy! And I embrace it. Saturday was my first time at any hockey game and I loved it. I think the violence of it appeals to my scrappy Irish side.
Also- it’s “fresh-born” babies. Just like when shopping organic, it’s important to be specific if you want quality. Otherwise you find you’re just sitting in a vat of water-added toddler.

‘Water-added toddler’!!
Looks like there’s a new Scriptatron 3000 in town.
Seriously, bottle that lightening in script form and send it to us post-haste!

You know- I was actually thinking about that. Can I really?
Jeff- remember that back and forth about snorting babies we had on Facebook? Think it could be good for this idea?
I mean, who really knows the many facets of the Baby Black Market?
Okay, I’m going to write some stuff down.
March 13th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
My favorite part of this exchange is Lisa’s use of “tho.” This should prove that I am a nerd, as if there were any doubt.
