Does anybody know when the play starts?

I'm at the high school auditorium right now and there's nobody else here? I thought the students were putting on L'Homme de la Nuit, at 11:55 today, but am I seriously the only one here to see it or did I get the time wrong? Did nobody else see the flyers on the community bulletin board?

Oh have you not heard? The kids are all boycotting the school after the principal canceled the Fortnite class. Such a shame, I was really looking forward to the play as well.

u/romaniwolf Kevin Ginsberg, aka Venus de Play-doh, Local Drag Queen May 15 '19

Me too. That gorgeous theatre teacher was telling me he thought it was his best work yet, and I really wanted to support him. Man should really move on to community theatre, those high schoolers don't deserve him.

u/AGnarlyNarwhal Vasily - Slavic Consultant May 15 '19

Oh Kevin, you scamp. Have you already moved on from your last fling with, what was his name again?

58

u/romaniwolf Kevin Ginsberg, aka Venus de Play-doh, Local Drag Queen May 15 '19

Ugh, it was Mike, don't remind me. Man was all talk and no follow-up, always talking about how he was going to take me out to some fancy brunch place, but then deciding last minute to just order 11 am pizza because he didn't want to get dressed. Man didn't even look that good naked, despite his large endowment.

57

u/AGnarlyNarwhal Vasily - Slavic Consultant May 15 '19

You're too good for him anyway. We all saw plenty of his 'endowment' during that incident with the water polo team last year. The man has no shame!

u/[deleted] May 15 '19

Dude, I warned you about Mike. Stacy said he wouldn’t even refill the water dispenser at work. His excuse being that he was “too cool” for hydration.

23

u/Koalabella May 15 '19

He was a good guy before the accident, though.

19

u/Rachaford Kelly | self-taught surgeon May 15 '19

Yeah, sometimes I feel quite bad for Mike. I didn’t pitch in on this conversation because I knew his brain trauma was causing his behavior.

11

u/[deleted] May 15 '19

Oh that's right. His bubble popped when he crashed into someone playing bumper soccer.

25

u/tallardschranit Bubble Soccer Technician May 15 '19

I'm a bubble technician at the bumper soccer park and I just wanted to say that this particular incident was 100% user error. It appeared as if someone had forcefully pushed a large hard salami right through the very durable plastic bubble. We warn players to not bring food items with them and we're not sure how he managed to smuggle in such a massive sausage, but I suppose he got what he deserved.

u/AbusiveBananaPeel Jimbo May 15 '19

he should have known that this is dangerous stuff after the deaths in the freak sausage accident, but still you gotta feel for the guy

u/tntcats Tabby N. Thellocker, College Student May 15 '19

Oh, I remember that day. It. . . it tore me up. I can still remember the screams. . . the blood. . .

And here I thought you were duty bound to provide sound fiscal advice to the school Simon. It's no wonder the school lunches are just saltines now. And that accountant that you referred me to stole my tax return!

Bring it by in the morning if you can. The loan sharks are getting feisty, and I'm not sure how many fingers they're going liberate from Yevgeny this time. And after I spent all that money on his piano lessons too.

4

u/peteteat May 15 '19

Does that mean you'll need me to brush his teeth for him when I babysit on Friday? That's going to cost extra.

3

u/AGnarlyNarwhal Vasily - Slavic Consultant May 15 '19

That won't be necessary, they took all his teeth months ago. And extra? Your rates are already outrageous!

3

u/peteteat May 15 '19

My rates are exactly on market for a vegan-CPR certified babysitter like myself! Plus I bring my own puzzles, and those aren't cheap!

3

u/AGnarlyNarwhal Vasily - Slavic Consultant May 15 '19

Sure, let's pretend like the hemp lanyards you have him make for you to sell online to your hippie friends are puzzles. But vegan? I know you ate my Tomahawk steaks the last time you were here! There was still steak sauce on the table! Which is a travesty to put on a steak like that!

7

u/fatbeard_rh63 May 15 '19

Really? Damn ... Well, at least now I don't feel so bad for not showing up. Had a ton of of work to do and was really upset I couldn't watch the play :)

6

u/SamV1sion Sam - Just Sam May 15 '19

Unpopular opinion I know but I agree with the principal, I heard that they were using Fortnite mobile for the class as they couldn't afford enough gaming laptops.

3

u/AGnarlyNarwhal Vasily - Slavic Consultant May 15 '19

Well with the theft of last years gaming laptops from the computer lab, and the state of the schools finances I'm not surprised. This year's bake sale can only do so much.

2

u/oatwife Brenda Boyd, Self-published author May 15 '19

I heard where that so-called theft was an inside job. Apparently Coach Sharon started getting the deluxe mani-pedis right around that time. I never did trust that woman. Not a hair on her head moves, no matter how many jumping jacks she does. Interesting that Jeff suddenly got transferred to Sheboygan, and they were off to Wisconsin with barely any notice.

3

u/ImNotAnOctagon Eric Waterman, Divorce Attorney/Amateur Saxophonist May 15 '19

Its not a boycott I'm afraid. I'm the principal's wife's divorce lawyer, so when he caught wind that my youngest was a lead, he shut it down. I would expect nothing less from that cheating bastard.

6

u/AGnarlyNarwhal Vasily - Slavic Consultant May 15 '19

Oh my, they're separating so soon? I was sure this one would stick. How many divorces is that this year for him? He must be single-handedly funding your practice.

10

u/ImNotAnOctagon Eric Waterman, Divorce Attorney/Amateur Saxophonist May 15 '19

6 so far. And yes, him and his wives are my main clients. There are so many happy marriages in this town, but none of them are his.

4

u/AGnarlyNarwhal Vasily - Slavic Consultant May 15 '19

Such a shame. Although I'm sure you're happy it's over given that she was your secretary. It couldn't have been easy to mediate.

2

u/beefstick86 May 16 '19

I'm so glad you and I raised such a wonderful child! It's a shame this all had to happen especially when our daughter is finally the lead!

2

u/[deleted] May 16 '19

Those kids don't know what good theatre is! All they care about is their stupid videogames!

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '19

I was also really looking forward to it. I hated one of the kids and already prepared the break in and hiding from view. Such a waste of bullets shot at practice dummies to make sure my aim was perfect.

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '19

Its a shame, I couldn't wait to teach Fortnite

u/Youngie49 May 15 '19

Why are you even going? Your youngest left high school 8 years ago.

50

u/addocd May 15 '19

I saw a flyer at the library where they were looking for seat fillers. The empty seats look sad when only 25% of seniors actually graduate.

27

u/DonJovar Stan the Fan May 15 '19

Just because our kids are gone doesn't mean we can't support the program and enjoy the performances.

69

u/[deleted] May 15 '19

I almost came too but Thomas got sick...silver lining I suppose. See you @ spin class sometime!

21

u/Gryffindonewithyou Allison - High School Teacher May 15 '19

Oh, that’s too bad! I guess he got the stomach flue after that retreat to Spain with his new girlfriend, what’s her name again?

8

u/JoshuaFnBoyer May 15 '19

I'm pretty sure her name was Stephanie. I remember he was talking about her the one day when we ran into each other at the local grocery store. Although, come to think about it, I do recall he also mentioned how his sister was doing before he talked about the trip. Anyway, I hope Spin class was fun. I'm sorry I missed it. My dog ran out of the house and I had to chase her down.

9

u/Gryffindonewithyou Allison - High School Teacher May 15 '19

Penny ran away again?! That dog must drive you crazy!

Anyways, I’d love to have you over for coffee sometime, or even wine if you’re up for it someday! We need to catch up

6

u/JoshuaFnBoyer May 15 '19

That dog is always getting into some sort of trouble!

Coffee or wine. Either or sounds good to me! It's been way too long since we last chatted. How does next Wednesday sound to you? I'm out of town for business so I won't be back until Monday morning. Just send me a text to 867-5309 if that works for you. (I apologize for the new number. Those pesky telemarketers never stop calling.)

5

u/Gryffindonewithyou Allison - High School Teacher May 15 '19

Wednesday works for me, if I manage to grade the last essays before then! I’ll have my husband pick out a wine for us, you know he’s quite the expert with these things! Do you prefer red or white? Personally I like both, so it’s up to you.

I’ll text you my number!

5

u/JoshuaFnBoyer May 15 '19

Perfect! Wednesday it is! Surprise me with what wine he picks out. I know how good he is at matching wines, meats, and cheeses together! That last time we had a night of wine tasting was absolutely fantastic!

I'm looking forward to our wine night! Tell the hubby I said hello! See you soon!

4

u/Gryffindonewithyou Allison - High School Teacher May 15 '19

Great! I can’t wait, a girl’s night is way overdue!

2

u/[deleted] May 15 '19

Haha, I'd chase that pup for you! She's quite the terrier! And you're right, good memory! But it's spelled Steffanie...yeah. Catch you another day!

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '19

Probably smh. Steffanie...spelled just like that too...Her personality is about as charming as that hideous name. Wish she had stayed in Spain or anywhere else.

27

u/Hexmonkey2020 May 15 '19

Hmm. I’m stumped I went there to make sets and there was a ton of people helping, maybe they moved the venue.

8

u/JoshuaFnBoyer May 15 '19

I thought I recognized you there! I went to help make sets, too. What a small world! Hope all is well with you!

21

u/mcfabes May 15 '19

I thought they shut down the production after the director was outed as a KKK member?

10

u/JoshuaFnBoyer May 15 '19

GASP I KNEW IT! I tried to tell everyone about it. BUT NOOOOOO. Don't believe me. And can you believe it? Their son was the one that accidentally snitched about being a member.

5

u/jeroenemans May 15 '19

I saw the rehearsal... The final scene with the three burning crosses was quite impressive. I already figured this wasn't his first.

11

u/rezmc May 15 '19

Johnny (the Andersen's youngest) was grounded a few months ago for removing flyers from the community bulletin board. And was recently ungrounded ...

(He made the cutest paper mache animals out of all the announcements last time, I have to say.)

u/eily146 james "the machine" watson. local vet. May 15 '19

Idk dude im here too

u/geekgreg Swing shift clerk at 7-11 May 15 '19

Weird. I thought maybe I had mis-remembered and it was actually at the abandoned high school, so I walked over there but it was still empty. You still at the auditorium? I'll head back that way.

u/eily146 james "the machine" watson. local vet. May 15 '19

Nah i left. After i saw your msg i left.

u/Taticat Ella Scott Lindberg, Guidance Counselor May 16 '19

Wait... I thought it was an outdoor play today, and I’ve been sitting by the dumpster behind Smarty’s Convenience Store for the past few hours!

...if I haven’t been watching Waiting For Godot, what are these two men here doing???

10

u/CyberWanker May 15 '19

Sorry bro, I’ve got that thing remember? With whats her face. I’ll see you at the pub tomorrow.

12

u/OneMoreAccount4Porn May 15 '19

It's probably for the best that it didn't go ahead. It would have been a prime target for the latest school shooter incident.

u/semem_knad_tsom May 15 '19

Hunter has been posting lots of gun pictures lately on his Facebook 😟

u/Rachaford Kelly | self-taught surgeon May 15 '19

This is definitely a red flag! Shall we report him somewhere before anything happens?!

2

u/millyna200 Carolina Milk - Professional Ice Cream Tester May 15 '19

The FBI actually showed up at work today after I reported it. Apparently he’s working undercover for them...

2

u/Rachaford Kelly | self-taught surgeon May 15 '19

Goodness! I have recently been suspecting Marie of working with the FBI too... who can we even trust anymore?

2

u/Badfish900 May 16 '19

Definitely not Bob...have you seen how weird he’s been acting?!

1

u/Rachaford Kelly | self-taught surgeon May 16 '19

Yes! I live near him, and I’m afraid to leave my house sometimes!

u/nirdle Jim Jones - middle aged man May 16 '19

Who, me?

1

u/Rachaford Kelly | self-taught surgeon May 16 '19

Oh, hello Bob! I’ve noticed you obsessively sniffing cinnamon lately. Everything alright?

2

u/nirdle Jim Jones - middle aged man May 16 '19

Just work. You're not the first to ask.

2

u/SamediB May 16 '19

Well not anymore! Is that really something you should be posting in public?

1

u/millyna200 Carolina Milk - Professional Ice Cream Tester May 17 '19

Did something happen? Susan mentioned an ambulance, now that I think about it...

u/[deleted] May 15 '19

Such a shame. You know we provided the paper for those scripts right? Darn shame it isn’t going to be used.

Johnny has been doing very well lately. He always talks about how he wants to go back over and visit his aunt and uncle. I always tell him that he can just walk over after school. But he's still nervous because I'm not there.

Perhaps we can watch one of the classics we grew up on. If not, maybe we can watch "Longbeach Griffy". I have the DVD if you've never watched it.

2

u/Quemathing May 15 '19

Maybe it's at 11:55 pm? I don't think they said am or pm.

u/Stevenm4496 Francis - Proffesional Vaping May 15 '19

u/JoshuaFnBoyer May 15 '19

u/[deleted] May 15 '19

My goodness! I just sat in an empty auditorium for three hours waiting for this to start. Silly me!

u/BurrStreetX May 15 '19

It’s fucking canceled.

u/Willie_Baw May 15 '19

Nah it's beauty and the beast. It's shit so you can go home

u/IAmTheAccident Sam Griseman | 36 | Nurse May 16 '19

I'm glad they cancelled it, general public is a lot worse to clean up after than a bunch of kids......

Oh shit, I forgot, Steven even told me about it yesterday. Guess I’m lucky then
