My gf got us tix to this without telling me, I guess it was supposed to be a surprise

http://www.theimprovorlando.com/Show...Orlando_Improv

It's Val Kilmer as Mark Twain in some one-man show. At first I thought, "Who made this ****ty Web site, some 9 year old using FrontPage 96?" Then I thought, "Val Kilmer's still alive?" Then I thought, "WTF is he playing Mark Twain?" Now I'm thinking, "How the **** do I get out of this without getting cut off?

So how do I get out of this without getting cut off?

More or less crime?
A more or less happy society?

I would guess that more people would claim to be happy. I am sure that crime rates would skyrocket.

Ok, well there would be less than 5% crime rates. Because you are 100% getting caught. People commit crimes in the hopes they can get away with it, but if it's a 100% guaranteed you are getting caught, I would surmise people just wouldn't do them.

Val Kilmer in a one man show about Twain sounds interesting.
Val Kilmer introducing a filmed version of a one man show sounds tedious.

I have no faith in your surmisement. Besides, my dog has a chip and she still does whatever she wants.

On a scale of 1-10, how bad does a root canal hurt? Anyone ever had one done?

5. Everybody says they hurt a lot but nobody passes out or craps their pants from the pain during them. Some people even go back for a second root canal! Bunch of babies, iyam.

Had one done last year and was prepared for it to be full on medieval mouth torture based on it's reputation, but either I had a ridiculously good dentist or most people are massive pussies because it barely hurt at all and i had pretty much no pain by the next day.

Yeah this is becoming commonplace. Forbes basically tells you either whitelist them or go **** yourself

This. I'm paying comedy club door and drink prices to watch a movie basically with a brief intro by Iceman. I'd be down for a live show but this ain't that

Everyone's all wrong and I'll tell ya why. Watching a VAL PLAY sounds awesome and it being filmed is only slightly disappointing. If it sux bounce and nod sadly at Val as you exit. Your girl got tix why are you paying at the door? As for the drinks a flask should help w that. Thank your grrrl but say you don't like surprises so in the future you can convince her not to when she tries to do fun things for you

I don't think that even sounds that bad, it could actually be pretty good, plus she was trying to do something cool for you and that's pretty dope.

Anyway.

Sounds weird and the price annoying but still better than those chick flicks most guys get dragged to.

These might have been posted already but this guy has a series of videos detailing the speed run world records of various games. Pretty cool imo.

Has some more as well.

SM64 zero star speedruns are the most interesting. Not sure how the **** people figured all the glitches out in the first place, but definitely an interesting thing to show off to people who have no idea that the game can be beaten like that.

SM64 is def the best speedrunning game.

No idea how people watch RPG speed runs. Just 4 hours of avoiding battles and talking about manipulating the game's RNG.

SM64 is a 100 minute straight execution fest with so many precise movements required it's incredible. Dark horse game like that is SMW2: Yoshi's Island's 100% run. Tons of crazy tricks, really impressive small window egg shots, very technical game to speed run.
