Hey kids! Lets put on a show! DOPE AID 2001

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

With the SDMB thinking about going pay to play, I say we put on a virtual Benefit Show, to raise funds to keep this board the way it is.

We can call it DOPE AID 2001.

Now all we need is the Teeming Millions to lend their talents to the show.

Spider Woman plays a mean oboe, and can recite some of her limericks.
chique can milk a cow, lno can molest it.:wink:
Rysdad and Cajun Man can spin yarns about Minnesota and Loosyana.
DrMatrix can show people the hadron in his pocket.
And I can count to 21.

How about the rest of you?

What talent can you contribute to the show?

:slight_smile:

2

Master of Ceremonies.

Ask around. I throw one helluva mean party.

3

As bouv, moi and that_darn_cat can verify for you, I can hold myself parallel to the ground on my hands.

And Jonathan Chance thrws one HELL of a party. Goodlord. Plus I think he saw my trick as well.

4

I can provide piano accompaniment to Spider Woman’s oboe playing.

5

I can wiggle my ears… I guess that could make me some sort of sideshow freak earwiggler type thing… er, maybe I’ll just buy a ticket.

6

Putcha pants back on, imthjckaz!

7

:smiley:

8

I think someone on the side just puts together a fund, announce (in a private way) that the SDMB needs a new server, we all cough up what we can (if we can) and ship the damn thing to the Chicago Reader as an annoymous gift. Much like you’d give a cheese log to your client, we simply pony up and send them a new server and forget about all the pay vs. struggle situations.

Of course this person will have to be as honest as you can find but it will solve a lot of problems for the time being.

9

can provide commentary for the documentary that is eventually made about the SDMB Virtual Talent Show!

In the meantime: On with the show!

I have double-jointed thumbs guaranteed to gross out the strongest stomach.

imthjckaz has the world’s loudest snore; heard on three floors simultaneously.

10

I can make myself look realisticly pregnant (I’m not). I can put my fist in my mouth. I can put both my legs behind my head.

Do I get in?

11

You betcha. Can you do all three at once?

Hm…yarn spinnin’…

Did I ever tell you about the time I launched a friend of mine into low earth orbit…in my van?

12

I can belly-dance.

That should bring some people in.

13

I can play “The Thunder Rolls” on the guitar, and I can tie my shoes, and I can make a hand-sewn blanket to raffle off for profit. And if we have a bake sale in the lobby I can make some really good coookies. I guess that’s really all my talents.

14

I can play the piano accordian and Morris Dance and …

Oww
Stop it, stop throwing things, oww…

15

While we got Jonathan Chance being the master of ceremonies we need someone to do all the glitzy tech stuff behind the scenes. Of course being geekish in all things tech related I’ll gladly give myself that duty.

16

Hmmm… well Shera and I have a real cool mind-reading act that we could do :slight_smile: Other then that, I usher better then anyone I know :smiley:

17

I am the mistress of Dance Dance Revolution. That oughtta be good for something. :smiley:

18

Dear god, man, I hope we’re not doing that at the same time! :eek:

I also know a little bit of first aid, which will help lno IMMEASURABLY when the cow gets annoyed :wink:

19

Yeah, this show’s starting to take shape.

Are there any jugglers or acrobats out there?

Anybody speak in tongues?

Or do anything else with their tongue?Silver Fire?

Anybody proficient in double speak?

20

Juggler? Nope. But my best friend from High School is a professional juggler.

Speak in tongues? Nope. But I can do some really bad accents if you want.

Do anything else with my tongue? Not anything that won’t get me arrested.

Proficient in double speak? Nope again.
But I have been told I can sing a tune or two, relatively on key, and I can recite various Monkees and Sci-Fi/Fantasy facts, if anyone is interested.

Other than that, I’m pretty much useless.
