It's Monday. We're back in the office about to have our first read-through of some of the episodes. I'm thinking about sabotaging the reading by reading my parts in a very high, nasal voice and then pretending I don't know what people are talking about when they ask me to stop.
"Stop what?" I will say, in my regular voice.
"Stop reading your part in a very high, nasal voice."
"I'm NOT!!!" I will say.
At first it will probably seem funny to everybody, but if I insist on doing it for the entire three hour read-through, it will quickly grow so irritating that at some point somebody will say something like, "If you're not going to do this seriously. then we're just wasting time."
Then I will act all petulant and say something like, "I'm really trying my best, you guys. I don't know why everybody's picking on me." If I can figure out a way to squeeze out some tears, I will do so.
So that's how I plan on spending the rest of my day. Speaking in a very high, nasal voice and crying.
Why? Just to be a dick.

i agree with violet. possibly next time you run through episodes switch it up a bit and read them all in a low voice.

I know the question that's on everyone's mind is, "Did you survive the day?" I can see this experiment of yours quickly turning to one of terror and aggression. You made it through, I know you did. Dick's always make it through. But crybabies don't. Hm. Paradox.

Please don't forget to record it and then post it here for our pleasure.

That just made my whole day 100 times better. The next time I have to read something outloud, it will be with a high nasal voice! Thanks for rocking.

I'm personally a huge fan of being as annoying as possible at all the wrong times. I think of it as an obligation, my birth-rite, as I am the youngest sibling in my family. Are you the youngest also? Or do you just enjoy being a dick?

Imagine Showalters chagrin when he realizes you have trumped his punk!
