My neighborhood is the best because there is a shop here that will custom-make a throne for me. Does your neighborhood have one of those? We also have a skate park. astoriapretty: Should you need a throne, there’s a place in Astoria that will hand carve you one. Of course! Now what isn’t pretty about that?

This is really helpful if you’re an improv nerd.

improvnonsense:

Have you ever heard anyone discuss an “improv order of operations”? In high school math we have the acronym PEMDAS to help us remember that the rules must be followed in a certain order. I think it might be useful if we came up with one for improv students. I’ve found that when I’m teaching or coaching and I note someone on disagreement, they’ll say, “Well, I was playing top of my intelligence.” I think agreement should be first. I’m not sure what the rest would be or what order. Thoughts?

I love stuff like this! It’s also kinda like Asimov’s Laws of Robotics, in which each rule is only followed if you don’t break the previous one. Ok, here’s my pitch:

(presented like I’m describing a pyramid)

BOTTOM LEVEL: giving and accepting gifts (yes anding, accepting responsibility for accusations, agreement)

NEXT: truthfulness (top of your intelligence, reality, what would one really say)

NEXT: active choices (making this about the people in the scene, deciding you are invested, making things matter)

NEXT: justifying (philosophy, POV)

TOP: game (irony, juxtaposition)

I think seasoned improvisers do four out of those five every time they make a move.

EDIT: It’s come to my attention that not a lot of people know who Carl Sagan is. He doesn’t like it when people don’t recognize him, so to ease the show along, why don’t you become acquainted with him?

This is why I never played Super Mario as a kid. I always got to this part, did exactly this, then threw my friend’s controller at the wall and refused to go back to his house for six months.
