There's nothing on TV
One of the reasons I love New York
A week ago I went to a see a friend of a friend in a sketch comedy show at The People's Improv Theater (P.I.T.). My friend said something about the sketch troupe being a part of a larger evening of comedy that may include some nudity. Turns out that the first Friday of the month, The PIT hosts a show called the "Naked Stand Up Comedy Showcase."
True to its title, we sat through an evening of naked stand up and naked sketch comedy. It was well worth my $8 ticket- not because the naked men and women were nice to look at (they weren't, necessarily) but because seeing other people naked can help you feel better about yourself (and I do.)
Oh, and we saw a very large man with a case of elephantitis of the testicles (and inchwormitis of the penis...) You don't see that every day.
Seriously...

And the winner is...
News from the cubicle marshmallow fights:
Tom first emails and says, "I AM VICTORIOUS IN BATTLE!"
He then rescinds the comment, forwarding a challenge from a co-worker: "How could this be when the preliminaries said “Frank (last name deleted) came out with guns blazing”? And to quote one Tom (last name deleted), one of the members of the opposing team, “Frank, I wish I were on your side!” as he went off to nurse his wounds. I think the results have been rigged. We demand a recount. But in the meantime we await the video review."
But, in the end, Tom's team was awarded victory.
See the video review here: http://tomtillotson.com/marshmallow.html
While watching the clip, take a look for friendly fire and enemies crossing the lines. Please also note that my boyfriend, Tom, was the one who eventually fights with a box on his head.
