12 Drink Minimum is an Improv Troupe that
rose from the fire of the Ad Libs workshops. The group originated as a Russian,
an Indian, a Trauma Surgeon, a Real Estate Broker, just Some Other Guy and a
5th Beatle. (There is no known sighting of the 5th Beatle). Later a Nurse was
added to the group and a bond was formed. They had that certain chemistry
that made them think this thing would never end... Well, they say all good things
must come to an end, so the group must have been a good thing because one sunny day it came to
an end.
Randy, the surgeon, and Susan,
the nurse, had a dual wedding with Angelina and Brad Pitt and then the four
of them headed off to Cambodia to care for needy kids and give them a
thorough inspection, so Angelina can decide which one is best fit for adopting.
Unfortunately, because of the Patriot Act some members of Airport Security
raided the home of Alex, the Russian, and Raj, the Indian, and they were deported back to their homeland. Greg Self, Dallas' leading realtor ( www.nhlrealty.com), has finally
been tracked down by the IRS and he went away for 2-4 years. The other
guy, well who cares - he is just some other guy.
So on October 27 2006, 12 Drink Minimum performed what was then their final
performance.
Well now fast forward several months
later:
Apparently Randy and Susan have parted ways
with Brad and Angelina. They finally came to realization that it is pointless
to care for the kids of Cambodia because it is true that you can take the kid out of Cambodia, but you can't take the Cambodia out of the kid. Given that fact, they felt they
didn't need to bring the kids here and let them infect America's youth with Cambodi (plural), so they have returned
to the States to try and pick up where they left off. Alex and Raj have both
come up with a new social security number and falsified all pertinent documents
to allow their return to the States as well. Oddly enough they all arrived at DFW Airport at the same time and while waiting in line for a taxi
they noticed a very Chuck Nolandesque* (sans Wilson) limo driver holding a sign reading "Cory Lidle".
They discovered, through all the facial hair, the limo driver was actually just
Some Other Guy. Once they found out how long he had been waiting there and
explained to him how much longer he would have to wait he decided to wait no
more and had them all load up in the limo so they could go have a few drinks
and catch up on what has happened since the last show.
They did find out that
Greg Self's ( Dallas'
leading realtor) appeal is not going well and the
security guards found the file in the cake that Some Other Guy baked
for him, so he
won't be reuniting with them at this time. While catching up and
reminiscing
they also discussed who could possibly replace the irreplaceable Greg
(the
show, as you know, must go on). Then, as if it was destiny, they
noticed
"Her." Right there in their presence was the Chosen One, the missing
piece to the puzzle. She was working as a waitress in the cocktail bar
when
they met her - and in a wink of an eye she became a part of 12
Drink Minimum! Shortly thereafter, the Waitress became a Teacher
(aren't you concerned about the poor kids?). So now you can see the
Russian, the Indian, the Trauma Surgeon, the Nurse, Some Other Guy and
the
newly found Teacher performing once again!
