We Broke Many Legs

So theater last night rocked the house. We had our night of skits, music and theater games at the EECS department. Only bad thing was Chair of department didn't show (maybe he met up with a stool and they formed a dinette set ;-) ) But seriously folks. He was suppose to do a skit with my boss, Dan Garcia. But regardless, Once the ball started to roll, it took off. I think when I first came downstairs and saw David dressed in a suit to play "PC" I knew it would be fine somehow. Craziness did prevail, we didn't really have things set up until literally 5 minutes before it started. Dress rehearsals were fun too, we did a quick run through Wed night. I think a highlight was when my boss Dan who you could tell was a bit stressed out, during a "Family Dinner" sketch, said "this dinner smells like F*&#" He swears up and down he said FUNK but no one believed him. I think he snapped. Doing a dress rehearsal with Professors was interesting. I sort of learned that while certain social groups, economic groups don't "co mingle" maybe they shouldn't.... You can read anything into that you would like. But I am fine just as I am.

So now I am relieved. I am working the theater tonight and Sunday. BUT Saturday is MINE!!! I am glad it's over but of course want to do it all again.

My Mac/PC ad parodies-

Well I just finished up some skits for the show Thurs. And we have a conservative looking guy playing the PC and the more scruffy looking guy playing Mac.



First Skit:

MAC: I'm a MAC

PC says nothing

MAC: I'm a MAC

PC says nothing

MAC: I'm a MAC

PC: Hey buddy I am just waiting for the bus…(pause)

MAC: But..I'm a Mac…

PC: Yes and…..

MAC: but that's your cue

PC: What Cue, for what? I am just waiting for the damned bus.

What is wrong with you?

MAC: Nothing that a little commercial banter wouldn't help.

PC: Please….contain yourself… ;-)

MAC: I can't, I have too much too offer

PC: Well go offer it some place else…ok?

MAC: But…I'm a Mac

PC: well that explains it





Second Skit:

MAC: I'm a MAC

PC: I'm a PC

MAC: Nice to meet you, you new around here?

PC: Yes, the last MAC guy moved.

MAC: Oh really too bad.

PC: Yeah, he got a better job pretending to be an Audi

MAC: Ah well you can't hold the good ones down

Second: Yes, seems like the times are always changing

MAC: Well not for you

PC: That's what you think, you narrow minded Pop culture icon

MAC: But you are so…not hip like me

PC: Oh go mow the lawn

MAC: I don't have a lawn, I have a patio

PC: Yeah and you call yourself Green



Third Skit

MAC: I'm a MAC

PC: I'm a PC (pause) I missed you!

MAC: Well it's about time you admitted it, I mean just LOOK at Vista,

Was that a cry for help or what?

PC: I missed you so much it made me feel closer to you

MAC: Well now we are so close we over lap

PC: Oh that's so special

MAC: I particularly enjoy the fake grass screen saver, nice touch

PC: We have so much in common now

MAC: It's so touching

PC: Everything you want in life is there…

MAC: Thanks for opening my eyes

PC: All you needed was a little willingness….

MAC: yes I can be a stubborn bastard

PC: Aren't we all, just a little bit?

MAC: What an enlightened view

PC: It's the User Account Controls

MAC: They are a great addition



Fourth Skit (with Linux)

MAC: I'm a Mac

PC: I am a PC

(enter Linux person-long pause)

MAC: Um…excuse me…this is our bit here

Linux: Oh can't I participate.

PC: Who are you?

Linux: I am Linux

First and PC laugh uproariously

Linux: Hey, that's not nice.

MAC: Sorry, I just can't help it

PC: (to MAC) Wait what were we saying?

MAC: Oh I was telling you about my trip to Bermuda, here are some photos

(pulls out fake photos)

PC: Oh nice, your wife is lovely too.

MAC: Yeah she's a macBook pro

PC: Lucky guy

Linux: Can I see

(they ignore Linux)

MAC: This is us at the big waterfall

Second: Oh wow, look at the shine your wife's monitor!

Linux: Can't I see too…

MAC: Yes she is really quite lovely all in white.

PC: I am sorry we wasted all that air time fighting

MAC: me too.

PC: I hope I can make up for it somehow

Linux: Hey …guys…can't I join in?

MAC (still ignoring Linux) Oh you make up for it just by being you.

PC: You have a way with word, get it word?

MAC: You have the best sense of humor

(they start to walk off looking into each others eyes…ignoring Linux, Linux follows after them)

Linux: Wait up guys…wait up…
