The best mime performance I've ever seen . . .

[Heidi]

I know, I know . . . the Lounge is a place for fun and mimes don't normally personify "fun." But check out this guy miming to the Natalie Imbruglia song, "Torn."

And to help you out, here are the lyrics to "Torn."

I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn’t be that man I adored
You don’t seem to know, don’t seem to care what your heart is for
But I don’t know him anymore
There’s nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That’s what’s going on, nothing’s fine I’m torn

I’m all out of faith, this is how I feel
I’m cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I’m wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You’re a little late, I’m already torn

So I guess the fortune teller’s right
Should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
To crawl beneath my veins and now
I don’t care, I have no luck, I don’t miss it all that much
There’s just so many things that I can’t touch, I’m torn

I’m all out of faith, this is how I feel
I’m cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I’m wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You’re a little late, I’m already torn. torn.

There’s nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That’s what’s going on, nothings right, I’m torn

I’m all out of faith, this is how I feel
I’m cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I’m wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
I’m all out of faith, this is how I feel
I’m cold and I’m ashamed bound and broken on the floor
You’re a little late, I’m already torn

1. A Mime....

Is a terrible thing to waste.

It was amusing.

[Heidi]

2. Is "The Pup" yours?

What's the breed? I love his wrinkly skin!

[Ekirh]

4. That Pup

Isn't mine, but looks pretty close to the one I have.

It's a Shar Pei. Yes, the wrinkles are great.

3. Yeah, that's pretty funny.

Though I thought the whole thing peaked early with "he came around like he was dignified." Damn, that was good!
