Top Ten Ways to Tell the Difference
Between The Crow and a Mime

 


 

#10 If it's beating someone up, it's the Crow. If someone's beating it up, it's a mime.

#9 People want to give mimes the bird. The Crow already has one.

#8 Poke it in the eye with a stick. If it says "ouch," it's the Crow.

#7 Mimes are French, and the Crow never surrenders!

#6 To become a Crow, you must experience great pain and suffering. To watch a mime, you will experience great pain and suffering.

#5 No one thinks it's cool when a mime comes back from the dead.

#4 Mimes can't stand up to multiple gunshot wounds. (We tried.)

#3 Only some people can accept the Crow's need to kill his tormentors. Everyone understands the need to kill mimes.

#2 The Crow kills bad people. All a mime kills is a good day in New York City.

#1 If Brandon Lee had played a mime, he'd be alive today and it'd be his career that'd need the reviving.

The Creation of Mimes&127;

By Tim Adams

Once upon a time there was a man from California. He lived in a little shack and was the make-up artist for a show on national television. He was happy for five years until no one watched Pee-Wee's Playhouse anymore. That meant he was out of a job. Although he was well known through out the artistry world and looked far and wide for a job, he could not find one.

Very discouraged, he was forced on the street with only his packet of make-up and some old tights. With only this he set out on the streets of the big city. He traveled and tried to sell his make-up, but he could make no money, so one day he got a cup and set out on the street. As he sat there a couple of people walked by and dropped some coins in. He was a smart man and decided to try and see what would happen if he tried to get more money.

So he put on his white make-up and danced around in front of the cup. This brought lots of money into his little cup of fame and so he decided to take it a step further. He put on his make-up that day and went out on his street corner and started singing like he had never sung before. He sung every song he had ever heard in his entire life. And he bombed out. Not one single penny fell into his cup, except for the guy who gave him a nickel to shut up.

Well, he though, if they don't want to hear me, then I can express myself in other ways. So he started to mimic people and call himself Mime, which in ancient Hindu means he who gets his lights punched out. So even today, mimes are the most annoying things in the world without saying a thing.


Moral: If you are happy and getting enough cash, keep your big mouth shut!!!

 Some things that are nearly as annoying as mimes, but not quite:

  • Circus clowns
  • Festering, pustulating blisters
  • Car alarms
  • Any song by Paula Abdul
  • Traffic along the New Jersey Turnpike, exits 12 through 15 inclusive
  • Impatient Drive-Up window clerks who somehow think their time serving you is actually their own leisure time
  • People who whistle tunelessly and at random
  • Morning DJs at any station that uses the word 'Zoo' to describe their show
  • A shotgun wound to the head
  • Hearing someone breathing (either as a whistling noise from their nose or as an open-mouthed weazing)
  • People who need everything that's happening in movies explained to them as it happens although the plot is still unfolding (Why did he do that? What's that? Who's behind the door? Is he gonna kill him?)
  • Recording artists who change their names into stupid symbols that don't mean anything
  • David Eddings books since they tell the same God damned story over and over and over
  • People who seem to use their cellular phones just to show you the fact that they have a cellular phone (Honey? I'm calling from the ball park! Yes! The Orioles just... what? I can't hear you! Honey?)
  • Backpacks with business suits or vice versa
  • People who treat their pets like children, especially if they put clothes on
