This guy covered Alan?
John and An made him wear the proper costume and greyed his hair, but THIS is how he really sees #9.

One wint'ry day in Windsor...
Jeffrey, Mark, Megan, and Todd just wanted a cuppa Canuk cafe...
But Teddy had other things in mind...
All alone, he waited for his light...
And then the magic began...
Oh Teddy, you saucy lad...
Miss Cheetah, the dreams you can make a young bear dream...

Memorable "What the ^&($%?" moments of the week
Runners up include:
Richard's Mickey Mouse voice on Wednesday's "I thought you were all supposed to be convincing, me..."
Kevin's careful reconsideration on "Did or didn't the woman see the kid kill...at 12:10, or 10:15, or 12, 10...Didn't she? Or did she?"
Jeffrey's "Don't you think those motives were a bea-...?! Uh,...those beatings were a motive...?"
But the WINNER is Charles' pistachio-impeded, "Not......Not......Not......guilty..."
Congratulations & thank you all for playing!

And the winner is...
I know you were all eagerly awaiting the results of the submissions for our haiku contest.
"The Jury Box gives
shelter from dull downpour of
Dearborn tedium."
- Todd Cerveris
"twelve men in a room
why oh why do they yell so?
oh god, the fighting!"
- Mike DiSalvo
"An unseen bullfrog
plops into the play - Prosky
I'm angry again"
- Richard Thomas
"and I spent two days
writing a detroit haiku
but had the form wrong"
- Allen McCullough
But I think the winner, hands down, if only by dint of volume, is the submission of Amy's dad - a haiku for each and every one of us!
"Hail to Mike Boland
First in all the cast he is,
Juror number one
Who's Todd Cerveris?
Why can't you see so plain, he's
Juror number two
Julian Gamble
A consummate thespian
Juror number three
Juror number four
Needs a special guy, so call
On Jeff Heyenga
Moving on, we see
There, as juror number five,
Great Tom Gebbia
Handsome Charles Borland!
Loud applause for his role as
Juror number six
Number seven is
Lucky for some, such as our
Mark Morettini
Juror number eight
Needs quiet heroism.
It's Richard Thomas!
Then Alan Mandel
We all know is known to all:
Juror number nine
Which juror's next? Ten.
A grade that's top, A +.
Call Kevin Dobson
Eleven’s accent,
Tried and true. It needs a mensch.
Hence, David Lively
Call on Tony Ward;
Fills the bill and jury box
These silly musings
No, wait, it's not done!
We need a Mike Disilva
To get in and out
Jeff, Dave, Alan too
Relax, you're backed really well:
Stephen Bradbury
Our Benim Foster
Understudy exemplar
But are four enough?
Allen McCullough
One, three nine and ten and guard
We think that’s enough.
Old pro calling shows,
John Galo does it better
The trick? Cast and crew.
Lovely Megan Schneid,
Is now winning life's roulette
With lucky seven
Ah, now, An Trimble
Keep us in stitches, betimes,
'Though you're short an "N."
This light never fails:
Ger Sweitzer is now plugged in
See him for limelight
Eh? What's that you said?
If you're not hearing quite right
Call Timmy Schmidt fast
Gardiner Frascia,
Listen now, it's up to you -
Keep jury box full!
Who needs a mascot?
Angry men, to soothe.
Norman fills the bill
Can Reginald Rose
E're top this magnum opus?
Of course not. He's dead.
Scott Ellis is tops
At telling us what to do
At least he thinks so
'Get on the bus now!’
Exasperation showing,
Amy taps her foot.
Detroit, Michigan
One more week, then we all go
On a break. Thank God."

From Morettini
Who knew "flershin" was a word?
This way madness lies
"You people bore me"
Gardner prepares for his piercing
Jury Box carnage
Some men were meant not to dance
"Beer? Beer? What is this thing you speak of?"

Hello from Michael McEowen
Hey 12 Angriest! and Megan, the least Angry.
MMSM from Des Moines with Camelsnot! Sitting in my little office watching the lava lamp perambulating, while waiting for the backstage tour I am doing this afternoon, just before the mini-put in for a poorly cast Merlyn. Should be a fine time. Nice house for a barn, nice hotel down the street that is in the midst of renovation. Des Moines downtown is dead! The other day I counted 12 people on the "busy" intersection downtown.
Lou Diamond Phillips is our headliner. Not a great singer, but does well in the talk-sing role and provides a great deal of energy onstage. A big poker player, buys a lot of drinks and is fun to be around, what could be finer? I think, no I know that our show gets much darker than your show, even when your storm comes! The other night, the calling SM disappeared in the dry ice fog! The hose didn't get placed correctly and he got fogged! We held the curtain for a tornado in Louisville last week, very exciting!
Wish I were still with the Angry Men, but it all came down to the almighty dollar and some perks that were worth a few more Washingtons. E. Lansing next, then Buffalo, Turkey Day in Cincy,(some of the cooking provided by Lou), then Hershey before a 6 week lay off.
(I think the show may close after that, but no one is saying that outloud, yet).
MMSM, down the road.

God Bless Our Boland
Mike Boland defending the Alamo against the women and children who storm it every day in downtown San Antonio. Actually, Mike was surprised to find out that the Alamo was NOT where David Bowie recorded his albums, but where Jim Bowie defended the former mission and lost his life to General Santa Anna's army. Now it all makes sense to him.
San Antonio recap by Allen
They put their mark on San Antonio...
And then enjoyed a restful day off..
Napping on the plane...
Coming in over Pittsburgh...

Twelve Angry Hombres
Who knew there was a Mexican wrestling duo whose act so closely mirrors our own little contretemps?
Oh yeah, 'The Alamo'... Forgot the name for a second
We took a trip to the Alamo. Nice place. I can see why they fought so hard to keep it. There's this really cool gift shop next door that it must have killed them to lose.
Of course, had "Delta Force Borland" been there, the outcome might have been different...
