Althought I think we might have been able to work around 
some of the problems with the new boards, I have not 
figured out a way around the profanity filters, and as you 
probably know, adult language is frequently relevant and 
appropriate to discussions of No Shame.  So for the time 
being the new boards are being abandoned, and we will 
resort to the old boards until such time as a suitable 
replacement can be set up.

Rest assured we are, in fact, working feverishly on such a 
replacement even as we speak, and hopefully it will be up 
soon.

In the meantime, please note the following temporary 
change in message board policy:

Any posts to these boards which are abusive, fraudulent, 
libelous, spamulous or otherwise harmful, will be deleted 
without comment.

In addition, any posts which do not contain a *valid email 
address* and appear to be frivolous, misleading, irrelevant 
or otherwise uninformative, will also be arbitrarily edited.

As always, No Shamers who *do* provide a correct email 
address in their posts should feel free to be as frivolous and 
irrelevant as they please.  But not abusive and fraudulent.

If you feel that someone has falsely posted to this board 
using your identity.  (Or if YOU have posted and would like to 
have your message removed for whatever reason)  Simply 
write to NOSHTH@AOL.COM *from your correct email 
account*, stating that the message in question should be 
deleted, and it will be removed at the first possible 
opportunity.

My apologies for any inconvenience these recent changes 
have caused you, and I hope to have the new boards up as 
soon as possible.

wow, thank god for the old boards. i thought the ezboard was 
going to be cool but after being assaulted by thousands of popup 
ads i became angry. after the anger wore off, i became sad. i 
then wept, as i went to some pornography, but even porn didnt 
cheer me up. but now, we have our old boards back, and golly, 
that sure is good news to me!

I actually slit my wrists and bled all over the popup ads.  It 
also seemed like there was a much more infrequent use of "the 
board" when it was under ezsnatch's Nazi regime.

Folks,
I have recently purchased a copy of Michael Moore's newsest 
book "Stupid White Men".  Every liberal thinking person needs to 
own this book.  NOt only are his facts and thoughts shocking, 
they are stated in an absolutely hilarious manner.  For example, 
did you know that W's wife Laura (in high school) killed one of 
her friends in a car accident that may or may not have been 
alcohol related.  This fact is pretty much an irrelevant example 
of most of the book's content, but the research that he's done 
is pretty incredible.  So, go and support this man, and his free 
thinking mind.  Also, if anyone wants to go to Minneapolis 
friday night with me to meet him/hear him talk/get the book 
signed etc.  let me know.

I've never been, but it sounds fun... I got rid of the gd van, 
though, and I can only comfortably fit 1 other person in the 
truck, so don't count on me driving. Planning on driving back 
after the show, or finding a place to stay for the night? Either 
way - sounds cool; keep me posted!

I'm all up for a road trip to IC for no shame.  I've been trying 
to get a group together for weeks now but nothing seems to work 
out.   If you need more room I'd be more than happy to drive my 
car.  I can take 4 others in my phat ride.  Let me know whoever 
is interested.  I'll be in touch.   Hope it works out.  Bye kids

Hey all... I've been reading about going to IC no shame... it 
looks like I'll be a semi regular performer there next year, as 
I've decided that's where I'm going to law school. Yay for me.

Anyway, would anyone be interested in dishing out assignments for 
next time? Kind of like what Luke and Elysia did a while ago... 
give someone else a topic and they have to write a skit about it. 
Just like improv, except instead of having 3 minutes to prepare, 
you have days and days.

If that sounds cool, let the assignments begin!

Howard--
I would be interested in doing an assingment.  I currently have 
no ideas but since I haven't performed anything in a while b/c of 
writers block this would be good for me.  I'll think of some 
ideas and let me know if you'd want to.  That would be great.  
Talk to you soon.

i am in sunny tucson arizona right now, where the natives 
complain about the cold weather right now, which is about 73-74 
degrees. i weep for them.

what was my point?

oh wait, to make you envious of me! if this were an ezboard i 
would attack you with a bunch of emoticons at this point to 
emphasize my mischievious intent. instead, i will merely laugh 
to my self. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!

Hey Luke how's your lady friend!

Well, I read that people are going to be going to IC No Shame on the 29th.  Well, I'm going to be in Iowa City anyway so I'll make sure I get together with everyone.  

I was recently in Chicago and went to the improv olympic.  Pretty cool, they do long form improv in 2 acts and they don't suck, right Amanda?

Hey,
         I'd love to get in on this assignment thing, because I

ANYONE has ANY assignment for me, I'd be more than 
happy to hear it!

Just browsing (or "lurking", depending on how generous you're 
feeling today) the other No Shame sites, and found you're coming 
down to our little festival of sweetness and light. So! Things 
you will need to know.

1) A careful statistical analysis of the archives indicates at 
least a five-sigma variation from the comedic norm in the 
following areas: swearing, poop, sodomy, and cruelty. What does 
this mean, really? If we establish Cedar Falls as a baseline and 
call that baseline "Bill Cosby", heartwarming and funny without 
being all that threatening, then we can chart Iowa City as "Andy 
Kaufman", fifty percent cruelly hilarious and fifty percent 
pathetically lame. Of course, your judgment of which fifty 
percent is which is probably completely different than anyone 
else's. 

2) We all go out later and eat food and you're naturally 
invited, so nap on the trip down. 

3) If you want to submit pieces, you have to be there 
stupefyingly early. I'm talking in the lounge, scripts in hand, 
by 9:15 or 9:30 ON THE OUTSIDE. Down in Iowa City, the people 
like the No Shame, yessir.

4) We're performing in Mabie Theater this Friday. What does this 
mean? The space is huuuuuuuge. It seats almost 400. You will 
need to speak way up. If you have a script that involves many 
lighting cues, leave it at home. You will be nearly inaudible in 
the light booth unless you fire a starting pistol. 

5) Please don't fire a starting pistol. 

See you in a few! Love and kisses.
Erwin.

Just so you guys know, I actually do really like Bill Cosby. In 
response to a question I received, I am not not NOT trying to 
connote lameness. So yay! Fifty hours to go. 

Time: Wed, 27-Mar-2002 18:44:39 GMT     IP: 134.161.105.189

Fifty hours or so... and do we know what exactly is going on? 
Who's driving? Leaving when? Who's staying overnight, if anyone? 
Umm... yeah, that's probably about it. Not that I'm not a huge fan 
of last-minute planning, but... :-P

I'm looking for someone who used to regularly perform at No 
Shame during the early nineties.  Josh -- unfortunately I can't 
remember his last name -- studied philosophy and was originally 
from Minneapolis.  After graduation, in '94, he moved to 
Brooklyn.

I'd appreciate if anyone knows where he is.  I'm a former friend 
that would like to get in touch.

Folks,
I'd love to come with everyone down to Iowa Shitty (cause the 
river makes it smell like a pile o poo) and enjoy a night of No 
Shame on "the off week" but unfortunately Death to Smoochy and 
Panic Room open tomorrow night so my loyalties lie elsewhere.  
Have fun everyone.

Ever not have a good idea for what you want to write for a 
subject? Never happens to me. Anyway, I cannot go to the IA 
city No Shame this weekend, which really sucks, because I 
really want to go. April 12th is an off week here, and I was 
wondering if anyone would be interested in going then. 
Anyone? Let ol' Woz know, and hopefully own a car. Sweet!

hey, for those who were not in iowa city last night, goodrich 
ate an entire Panchero's burrito in one minute. these burritos 
are like the size of your head for those of you who never have 
eaten there. it was way damn funny.

...not only a burrito the size of your head, but a *cold* burrito 
the size of your head. I was both disgusted and amazed. Check out 
IC's message board - one guy said that it was his favorite piece 
of the night! Way to go, Josh.

I was glad to hear the news of Goodrich's BURRITO, as I was hope 
hope hoping to hear some IOWA CITY RESIDUE.  

I had been desparately biding my time, but, alas, some news has 
broken through, and I wanted so much to hear of the Iowa City 
scene.

That, perhaps, has assisted my inspiration for next week.  

Although, sadly, I was not able to witness the Iowa City thing.  
I always long for the great adventure.  Oh, great sadness! I'll 
admit, though reluctantly, that I am sitting here 
watching "Arthur" all alone tonight.  Hey, it's a tribute.  And 
sometimes, great sadness is fun, right?

Also, remember, it's SPRING.  Oh yeah, I forgot. On an unrelated 
subject, old people are funny.  In almost every setting.  

Whoops, my relatives are coming tomorrow for a brunch.  Brunch 
is an expensive word.  Remember when the word brunch would save 
you money---it was a combo deal---but now, it is very expensive. 

In high school, as a young Jeff, I sometimes skipped school and 
I went through the McDonald's drive-thru(their spelling) for a 
sausage McMuffin without Egg and a medium coca-cola for less 
than $2.00 and then I drove around thinking about how much I 
wished Cindy would like me and listening to the Pet Shop Boys 
first album and to Falco.  

Well, that is cheaper than an Easter brunch with relatives.  So, 
the moral is, stay in high school, if you can, or go back, if 
you can, or at least pretend you are in high school, which is 
what I do.  

The Middle,
