Help needed for TAM Talent Show skit

[kittynh]

seriously, the amublance ride was better than any of those wussy rollercoaster rides...

Loon and I still laugh (it's one of those laughs that expresses extreme and total fear) about the crazed nut that was escaping from his restraints in the next bed. At one point I picked up a chair and assured Loon I'd help take this dude out. Then the guy began to sort of growl and drool and we ended up in a fetal position trying to "find a happy place".

The least weird thing about the entire experience was when the guy who picked us up from the hospital showed up in the ER with a nail driven in his nose. No, he didn't need treatment. (well I mean medical treatment, it wasn't a psychiatic hospital)

 

[hcmom]

... hhmmm... wait, I can see the ER doctor now "so how did this injury occur..."

"Oh, I asked a friend to hit me with a sledge hammer, and he did"

 

[Wowbagger]

And then she would have to drag it to the hotel.

So, complain to Kittynh. It was her idea!

How do you think the JREF materials - books, t-shirts, banners, etc - get there?

Oh.... I assumed James Randi just pulled them out of his magic hat.

 

[arthwollipot]

Deal. Should the worst occur and grave bodily injury result, I hereby publicly declare Kitty to be my ambulatory wing-woman

Hey - I'd be at least partially responsible, right?

 

[MattusMaximus]

Hey - I'd be at least partially responsible, right?

Yes, and as such you would also get to ride in the ambulance with me

 

[kittynh]

hey I'm trying to figure out how to get the rabbit on the plane with me....


seems the magicians rabbits in Vegas are all Union. This could be trouble...

I've never done it myself but aren't pets just kept in carriers in the luggage compartment?

Yay! I get to ride in an ambulance!

Hang on, wait...

 

[Dr Adequate]

Say, MattusMaximus --- suppose you win but die in the attempt.

Well ... can I have your prize?

No way. As the one who killed him, I have the right to claim the prize.

 

[Fitter]

You'll probably be so busy answering police questions that you won't have time to collect it.

 

[RemieV]

I do hope you have a plan to quickly clean up the stage...

 

[arthwollipot]

I'll have a sledgehammer. I'm sure I'll be able to improvise.

 

[RemieV]

Just don't leave shards for the next person to hack themselves open with, please. That would be a very unhappy time for all.

 

[KingMerv00]

Mattus, may I recommend doing your demonstration on a tarp? That way you could throw the pieces onto the tarp and drag it away.

I have a particular interest in this since I'll be barefoot on stage.

 

[MattusMaximus]

Just don't leave shards for the next person to hack themselves open with, please. That would be a very unhappy time for all.

No problem. With a large enough tarp or blanket, it should be easy enough to get off stage - I can do more fine-tuned cleanup in the shadows once I'm off to the side.

However, getting out the bloodstains is going to be a bit more tricky. Hmmm...

ETA: I can also make sure to have a broom handy, to take care of any pieces that end up off the tarp.

 

[MattusMaximus]

There can be only One!!!

 

[MattusMaximus]

That reminds me... before I submitted my skit to the Talent Show, I had purchased a ticket to see Penn & Teller on Saturday night. Seeing as how I need to be at the Talent Show, the ticket will do me no good. Anyone interested in having it?

 

[arthwollipot]

I'm seeing P&T on Sunday night.

However, getting out the bloodstains is going to be a bit more tricky. Hmmm...

Tarps are water-proof, and presumably blood won't soak through them. We just need to remember to have a roll of duct tape handy, in case we need to be able to roll up your body...
