Off Into the Night
by Greg Mitchell

[LIGHTS UP on Greg standing centerstage with his right foot resting on the seat of a chair, looking manly. Absolutely deadpan delivery.]

"It's been a long time since I've sodomized a Ukrainian musk ox."

[pause for the laughter to die down.]

"....and I'm not going to wait even one more minute."

[Greg walks up the center aisle and out of the theatre. BLACKOUT.]

AUTHOR'S NOTES (from ISCA):

Okay okay okay.  And while I'm at it...the guilt is tearing at me.
I got REALLY lucky!  The original script was modified at the last moment.
The original piece involved me stating that "It's been a long time since I've sodomized AN
INFLATABLE DOLL"....
But thanks to Bob's piece at #5 including such subject matter, a last minute modification was
made.  And ultimately, an extremely lucky one that changed my piece from mediocre/weird to
good.
And I also thank my lucky stars indeed that the two pieces prior to mine were both fairly lengthy
and not exceeding bizarre.  I feared that I would wind up following one of Brad Smith's stage
crosses, and that would've killed my piece.
But hey, ya win some.  

"Off Into the Night" debuted November 13, 1998, performed by Greg Mitchell.

Performed again at Best of No Shame on December 11, 1998.
