The Thrillianaires: A Local Improv Comedy Sextet

Ambry, a fun girl in the Carriage Cove ward, works at a box office in Provo and procured over 20 free tickets to a brand new comedy show here in P-Town called, Thrillianaires! Friends in our ward took up an entire row.





We all carpooled down to Center Street and enjoyed a barrel of laughs together as the six stand-up comedians improved their way through a old-time radio mystery, a family-hour program and a full, 8-song musical called "The Fortunate Mr. Wrong in the South Pacific". What a gas!

After the show, we ate gelato at this new Italian shop on Center. The price was outrageous so I settled for 8 samples (Equivalent to $3.50). Mike and I stood their at the counter so thoughtful looking, ponder the different flavors we had just been handed that they kept on giving us more on their own accord; we didn't even ask! After about six free samples we started describing colors that we were feeling in our mouths. (Some of the girls in our group were jealous because they thought the ice cream girls were just trying to flirt with us.)



After ordering, we completely ruined the suave, trendy atmosphere by belting out Disney songs at the table:



Once we were all finished we played a fun cup-racing game. We lined up all of the cups at one end of our slanted table and lightly pounded down on the sides causing the cups to tremble all the way to the opposite end of the table.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
