Break a Leg

i thought we already made one of these topics, but i couldn't find it. i'll start.

i was on facebook and there was an ad for a "Cool Groomsmen Gift Idea." i totally read it as "Groomates."

I just heard people in the kitchen at work talking about either groommates, or broommates.... Although, now that I think about it, they may have just been talking about roommates.

Maybe I should go in there and educate them.

so everyone on my hall here at school was at a meeting, and this one girl was raising her hand (she didn't have to, she could have just said something) and i said, "stop raising your hand!" she didn't get it, though. \

maybe i should go in there and educate her.

I still ask people if they are having a very berry day.

I also give them a creepy smile - and tell them they smell good.

That tends to not translate well in today's social language. Guess I'll have to wait more until tomorrow's "cool".

BaL needs to get me some hip phrases, man!

last night Colbert said that he was glad that the writers were back, but now the "coffee getters union" is on strike, and he doesn't want to be a scab by getting his own coffee.

is this a reference to the "coffee fetcher's guild" on BaL? probably not. weird coincidence? yes.

Colbert is stealing our material! That's it, we're gonna F&*@ him up. Who's ready for a brawl?

(ok, now I'm just stealing material, that conan vs. stewart vs. colbert fight was fun stuff though)

My friends and I regularly greet each other with "tazel mov, aye!"

there's an organization at my school called "CAB" (Campus Activities Board), and i went to one of their events last night. they had a section of seats reserved for themselves, and when someone tried to sit there they said, "these seats are reserved for CAB," but i could have sworn they said "CAG." for a split second i got a little scared.

Heh, oh no! Child Actors!

They ARE scary.

I often say "Is that a personal jab at me? Are you jabbing personally at me? What does that even mean?"
...People often think I'm crazy.

I went to Disneyland yesterday, and there was this guy who looked EXACTLY like Drew [Jimmy Scotch.]
We were on boats passing each other, and they were both going REALLY slowly.
So I was staring at him trying to figure out who he looked like.
And he caught my eyes after a few minutes and started staring back at me.
After literally five minutes of just staring at each other, he narrowed his eyes and started glaring at me.
So I looked away and started talking to my friends, but ten minutes later the really slow boats were still going, and the other boat was really far away, but still visible.
He was still glaring at me.
It was insane.
The end.

That actually was Drew, he was on vacation. Also Drew, like most actors, was raised by a pack of Gorillas as a child and if looked directly in the eye he will take it as an act of aggression and attack. You're lucky you were on a boat, Gorillas are terrified of water.

On a sidenote getting Drew to act for us has been surprisingly easy, as long as we have a ready supply of bananas and something for him to swing on, he gets along famously.

-D

Did you just say "gets along famously?" Since when did you become an Englishman in the 1920s?

Whenever one of my friends and I hang out, every so often we just say, "Daaaaaamn, Mom, them some bada** motherf****in' berries!"

For no reason whatsoever.

One time I was watching some movie (I forget what it was) and one of them said, "Uncock your gun" and I just cracked up.It's terrible; I can't hear seemingly normal phrases anymore without thinking of this show.

Did you just say "gets along famously?" Since when did you become an Englishman in the 1920s?

I have never laughed so hard at a post on one of these threads.

Congrats, Yuri, you're funny

I was staying at a friend's house and his roommate (not groommate, alas) fed me GRAPPLES!

I know that's more a "BAL Board-thing in real life" but still. It'll be on the show soon enough.

And they don't taste like grape at all. They taste more like grape pop. (Soda, for you americans.) You can practically taste the fake.

BUT THEN I went into the grocery store... and guess what they were selling?

Mint!

No kidding! You're famous, buddy--they named a herb after you!!!

So it's kind of late, but oh my goodness did you make my early morning Yuri.... Wait, that kind of sounds weird. But I LOVE when people check others for using certain phrases. Too funny.

And not as much finding BaL in real life as much the other way around, but the latest conversation made me laugh especially, because lately I've been listening to "The Bad Touch" (chorus: "So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel) and when David says, "Just make sure you clean up afterwards," I totally thought about the line from that song that goes, "Love, the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket."

Ok, so that was long and kind of round about, but still, it made me laugh. So kudos to BaL for knowing and referencing my day-to-day life from a completely different post. You guys rock!

I went to Washington for a week, and I met not one, but TWO guys who looked exactly like Yuri.
Except one was super tall and the other one had really short hair.

I think it was last summer that I saw a lady who looked almost exactly like Daniela at the Borders book store by my house.

I totally forgot until now.

Hannah, that's SO coincidental, because my future baby looks like Yuri, too!

Will wonders never cease?

The cast and I often tail you guys to see how much you really like the show. I'm surprised none of you have noticed any of us hovering by your window, whispering quietly into the wind.

Dustin (Mint) and I are very good friends, we went to college together and everyone joked around about us being inseparable. One of our friends worked at a cafe, and one day, two guys walked in -- one who was half Japanese. Their names were Dustin and Yuri and they were friends since they were kids. Weird, right?

What's even weirder, Femke, is that my future baby is black and looks a lot like Denzel Washington. I have no idea why.

for so long i hav been going on youtube looking for episode 10!

its not on this site either

WHERE IS IT ???????????

plz make it soon!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, Lydsy!

The problem with having no budget is we can't make episodes regularly, every week. So, what we do instead is make a long episode arc (like Ep. 4-9) over the course of a couple of months (less or more, depending on how difficult the episode is) while giving you guys other content, like the Conversations that we release every Monday.

Hope that clears it up! Thanks and sorry!

a jewish friend of mine was eating Matzah (or however you want to spell it) the other night, and on the box it said "L'Chaim!" the first thing i thought was "to zombies!" for the record, i'm not really a big fan of Matzah...

Tavelmaz!

So just recently, my step sister's away message on AIM was about Grapples. Ah Grapples, I think that should become the spokesman of BaL

There's a talent show at my school and the posters say "Break a Leg". I'm hopeful, but a little skeptical.

Whenever anyone I know hears me say, "Break a leg" -- seriously, in like a, "good luck" sort of way, they go, OH HAHAHA THAT'S FUNNY.

It's awful.

I was shopping at an organic place the other day and there was a box of granola bars called "Very Berry". The funnier part came when I looked at the picture of the bars themselves (mostly grains) and thought, that's not very berry at all!

Genius!

We intend to have one of our words slip into the English lexicon really soon. You guys need to help us. We should all vote on one Break a Leg term and commit fully to saying it a lot. A whole, whole lot.

Just sayin'.

My myspace name is Liz!The Swambler and my friend posted a picture taken at a Colin Meloy show and captioned it on myspace this way (yay for screencaps!)

I think this should be on t-shirts.

Liz...that's creepy.

Yeah, I know.

I know this probably isn't the place to put it, but I don't know where else to go.

I just ordered my Swamblers shirt hooray!

About time, woman.

Seriously.

Ok so my friends and I were just watching C**kablanca. And when we got to the part where Mint just goes "And I would ride youuuah," my friend didn't fall. Nay, TUMBLED off the bench, over her guitar, and into the lamp.

Yes! We injured someone! Victory is ours!

Holy shit, victory violence, that's my favorite kind of violence. Wait... is it still considered violence if it's an accident? Accidental victory violence?

I'm not really sure what I'm talking about here anymore, someone help me out.

so now that the lamp is knocked over and possibly broken, is your name "lightupmyroom" is actually a request?

Bah-duh-ching, Kevin, bah-duh-ching.

Someone used the abbreviation CAG for another organization in a movie I watched in History

Wouldn't you know that I can't remember what it stood for

History Channel?

Perhaps the Curious Ancient Geezers? No I can do better then that... it's redundant.

Hm

Cavalry And Guns

Charging Active Giraffes

Clinging Annoying Gumby (the short lived line of the popular toy)

Anyone else?

there's a billboard near me that's a white background, with a hole ripped in the middle (like paper) with words written on a black background behind the hole. it's hard to describe, but it looks just like the BaL logo, but with black instead of red. it really bothers me when i drive by.

Break a Leg is once again part of my everyday life.

It wasn't a history video!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was Battlestar Galactica!

I just started watching it and got the second disk from netflix and it's like Commanding A-something General.

And they say CAG.

EPIC

Oh yeaaaaah, CAG in Battlestar, yeah, that show is great, his name is Adama! Come on!

Fraaaackiiiiiin Cylooooons.

My friend's away with family for vacation. But she took enough time out to send me a picture of a day spa.

Made my morning.

I know his name is Adama!!! Don't count me out, Dash.

I was saying C.A.G. stands for Commanding A-(I don't know) General.

Give me a little credit.

And hey, speaking of BaL in real life, I experienced BaL IN REAL LIFE.

Writing the blog as we speak.
