Who here believes mimes should be erradicated? I mean, I am a very liberal individual, and I am really all for freedom of the arts - but miming isn't art, it's a nuisance! The other day I came really close to punching a mime who wouldn't stop giving me imaginary flowers!
I know I'm not alone in this pursuit - some movies are with me too. Two of my favorite movie moments of all time are in "When Harry met Sally", in a scene when Billy Cristal just rips on the whole mime "thing", but most especially in "Die Hard with a Vengeance", when Bruce Willis is driving through Central Park and Samuel L. Jackson screams "Are you TRYING to hit these people?" And Willis answers "NO! Well... maybe that mime!" - Priceless!

But anyway, give me your thoughts. Let's rid the world of this plague!

All mimes should be told to learn the words or face the consequences.

The novelist Terry Pratchett also attacks mimes a few times in his books.

I agree with him... mimes should be hung up by their ankles in front of sign which says 'learn the words' (upside down of course)

LOL - I have just begun reading the Discworld books (I have only read the first two) but I can't wait for the part envolving mimes hung upside down :)

I can't remember what book(s) it is - but I know in "The amazing maurice" the pied piper is mentioned as having cleared a town of a plague of mime artists...

Nice to meet another discworld reader :)

"The Amazing Maurice" is the only book by Pratchett I"ve read, it was pretty good...Weird as hell, but cool cuz of that...

ANd we should get rid of most of the mimes, but keep the rest for interrogations. It would work so well!

"So where's the bomb Ahkmed?"
"I don't know what the hell you're talking about!"
*sigh*"Bring the mime....God those things creep the hell outta me..."
*mime starts it's thing*
"What the hell is this? All I did was sell slurpees dammit! Get that crazy thing away from me!"
"It's not working...Bring in the other mime!" *interrogator shudders*
*second mime joins act*
"Okay, okay, I'll talk! If only to keep those damned French-creations away! God they scare the hell outta me...."

AGGHHH run (mimed),

At school the acting company I was part of won an Honours grading for Group Improvised Mime (I'm being very serious) - we did lots of mime and improvised theatre so the National Institue for Allied Arts which had their HQ bassed on our campus made up the section to test us.

Clowns really do scare me, they are seriously deranged!!!

If you shoot a mime, should you use a silencer?

If a tree falls on a mime, does he make a sound?

Mimes give clowns a bad name. What's funny about a guy in living-dead makeup playing with invisible props? :confused:

I like to make mimes scream. It gives me great joy. :)

Yes, clowns are another plague - with the added annoyance of, not only being as irritating as a mime by day, but also being extremely spooky by night. That movie "It", and "The Game"... *shudders*

Although I voted for the 2nd option (and I don't even have a little brother) I'd like to see this

"Yes, preferably with a lot of pain in the process."

put into action, just because I wanna see how a mime portrays "a lot of pain" without screaming!!!

People who can't spell Retarded should never use it as an insult, it's too distracting.

Ah, crap - I hate spelling mistakes. Sorry about that.

PS: And also - "people who can't spell (...)"? I know it was probably a joke, but still... you're a jackass!

The demiming process will prove to be long and dangerous, as mimes can literally hide in the ground (as a metaphor) and then silently explode in yer face (with a lot of bold gestures).

That's right! There's nothing more dangerous than a mime-field!!!
