Arlen's piece from last night. Can't remember the title. You know how it went. "It is 1983. I will always die in the desert."
I believe "Quick" was the title. My vote would be for either that one or "Revenge."
I'M waiting until this week's order is posted to do my BONS NOMS, so that I can look at it and take everything into account.

Michael's piece from last night
Pretty much ANYTHING from the February 16th show.
I'll post more if I think of more awesome good ones.
Can we get the order from last week, Patrick?
Here, in what I believe is chronological order:
• Pine (Matt Benyo as Xmas tree) by Jananim [from dead week]
• The Ashcrafts: An American Dream by Whacko Benyo and Papa Ashcraft [also from dead week]
• They Don't Even Exist by Evan Schenck (retail store, man looking for a wax cylinder of rap music)
• Ave Maria by Mirri
• Racism Soup by Eric Landuyt
• Revenge by Arlen
• Here Is an Old Thing I Wrote Because I Didn't Write Anything New This Week by Katy Baggs (this was the piece about the performance artist)
• An Unorthodox Assassin by Shelton (assuming this is the one about the windmill)
• The Orange Sketch by me (Greg M.)
• S is for Seppuku by "Chicken & Dumplins & Apple Gravy"
• Jesse's apology (last night) by Jesse
yes for Seppuku
yes for Seppuku
yes for Seppuku
I got my Truck back! Yay! Dead week show outside!
Oh yes! I second the nomination for the Katy Baggs piece about the performance artist. That was great.
For reals, dudes? Where's the order?
Quote Boy by Patrick Ashcraft - what asshole's NOT going to put Quote Boy in BONS? We all know it's gotta be in there.
The Desert Shone Blue by Arlen Lawson (lovers' quarrel, mountain driving) - the best Arlen piece of the semester. When the lights went down, that was awesome.
Professor Teeth: A Song by The C. Everett Poops - the best SONG of the semester. Period. So awesome.
Arlen Quits Smoking by Mirri (carrot poor tobacco replacement)
A Dinosaur Is My Friend by King Sophie (Sophie sings a song about Dinosaurs and how maybe they're not dead, they're just playing a trick on us.)
Liz's Talking Purse by Liz Byram - I think that Liz's debut semester was a blazing success and that she deserves to get into BONS
They Don't Even Exist by Evan Schenk - I really really really want to see this again.
A guy with a deep, grumbly voice reads The Far Side aloud
by Tah-Com - Hilarious! IT was hilarious.
Untitled Monologue by Timm Sitzman - from the official No Shame show that took place on 12.29 in Theater B.There were a lot of great pieces, but a lot of the people that performed were only in town for the holidays and won't be available to be at BONS. But I'm pretty sure that Timm will be available AND this monologue was GREAT.
"S Is for Seppuku" by Chicken and Dumplings and Cold Apple Cider - funny and with a cool sword. where do you get such a cool sword? Is it just me or does Shelton seem to have a whole arsenal of bladed weapons? What's the deal with that?
Is that it for nominations? Come on people. More more. You have until like 9 pm on thursday night.
More:
First, that should be "Janani," not "jananim" in my previous post.
Second, that should be "cold apple cider," not "gravy," in my previous post.
• I second the nomination in which Timm solves a Rubik's cube.
• Either "Suzy, Pt. 2," or "Six by Ten," by Adam Hahn; or the list of holidays, which I did not get to see.
I second the nomination in which Timm solves a Rubik's cube.
I swear to God, I'll flip out if that gets in best of.

I believe this is Evan's noir piece, "Does it Even Matter?" which was also very good.
Oh, I had another nomination:

I can't believe I forgot this one. I liked it a lot and everybody in the audience liked it too.
A reminder. Nominations cease later tonight so don't forget to nominate your favorite pieces of the spring! ASAP!
