Fantasy World

lines at the Cougareat, long lines to get into Randy Bott's classes,
long lines of cars trying to get one of the nine good on-campus
parking spaces, long lines around the eyes of sleep-deprived grad
students...you get the idea.
A new school year also means a new year of fantastic and affordable
Laugh Out Loud shows, the first of which is this Saturday at 8:00 PM
in 151 Tanner Building!
And of course, with the first show of the semester just days away,
that means you're running out of time to have your Fantasy LOL Drafts!
Ok, there probably aren't any fantasy improv leagues out there, but
maybe there should be--playing fantasy football makes the NFL even
more exciting than it already is, and a fantasy LOL league could do
the same for our shows!
We'd need a scoring system first. A good one-liner in a jump-up game
could be worth 1 point, singing in key on Bouncy Ball Sing-a-Long
could be 2 points, successfully pulling off a Russian accent 3 points,
etc. Imagine going to an LOL show and rolling on the floor laughing at
some of Kristina's great jokes: good time, right? Now, imagine how
much more you'd enjoy the show if you had Kristina on your fantasy
team, and you could rub her funniness in the face of your friends who
had Brendan or Allan on their teams! If anyone wants to devise a
realistic scoring system for an improv fantasy league, let us know. I
think it would be fun.
Until then, we'll just be fulfilling the fantasies of those who love
good comedy. Get your tickets now for our show this Saturday for just
$2 at the Wilk info desk, $3 at the door if we have any left (we've
moved to a bigger room for this year, so we might not sell out, but
it's best not to risk it). And don't worry, ladies, you can still go
to the Relief Society Broadcast and make it in time for the start of
the show.
See you Saturday!
Likely the object of no one's fantasies,
Jeff
