drinking sea white
My friends drink everywhere. They even drink at the laundromat. I tried drinking at the laundromat, and I thought I was in a submarine, navigating the Sea of White Panties with my Spanish-speaking crew. I was like, "Mrs. Sanchez, set the coordinates to Permanent Press! Give me some quarters and another drink! This place is starting to look like a laundromat."
art socialism art-is
Art is socialism but life is capitalism.
whole-family reception ploy
I love pizza so much, I would marry pizza, but it would just be an elaborate ploy to eat her whole family at the reception.
funny writing way
I shouldn't say bad things about the illiterate, though..I should write it. That way they won't find out.
girlfriend perfect dating
...And so we go and I meet his parents. And it's a very strange thing meeting your girlfriend's boyfriend's parents for the first time. Part of you is angry for obvious reasons and part of you still wants to make a good impression. On a side note, they seemed in perfect health.
metaphor unfair
Life is unfair and improv is a great metaphor of that.

Does anyone know a word that rhymes with shark?

Backup dancers are completely respectable. They're the studio musicians of dance.
real writing acting
You've got to remember that improvisers are writers and actors and directors all simultaneously. That's what's happening in real time because you're writing on your feet, and you are acting out the words and you are directing what the staging is. You're deciding what staging is.
dream sleep brain
Dopamine is a chemical released in your brain and your body when you sleep that paralyzes your body so you don't act out your dreams.
funny selfish humor
When you're in a relationship with someone who's selfish, what keeps you in it is the fact that when they shine on you, it's this souped-up shine. And you feel like you're in the club. And you don't even know what club it is. You just know you want to stay in it.
want sometimes
Sometimes, when you want to be in a place so badly, you'll do anything.
Success is fleeting. It may not have to do with you but how your work is received.
funny humor thinking
It had that kind of open-ended fear to it - like that feeling you get when you're driving and you see a cop. And you're not speeding. You don't have drugs. But you're just thinking, I hope he doesn't notice I'm driving.
