During these long marathon drives between towns, Cydney has been entertaining us with poetic and heartfelt readings from UrbanDictionary.com… her enthusiastic and super-charged interpretations make it dangerous to drive while we’re both crying and sobbing tears of gut-wrenching happiness…

I decided we had to make a game out of it… we pick a new word every day out of the Urban Dictionary and then we each have to stealthily insert it somewhere during the show. It could be in the middle of a story between songs, it could be sung as a lyric in a song… anywhere, so long as it is spoken or sung or used during each of our sets. Sometimes it’s nasty ghetto slang, or something completely vile and utterly disgusting.

The rule is, nobody in the audience can know about it. It has to be delivered with a straight face, without calling any attention to it. The only tip off to innocent bystanders, really, is when either of us are sitting in the audience listening, and break out in hysterical laughter (seemingly for no reason), as the sneaky treasure gets released into the air… like a stealth-bomber dropping the perfect ninja bomb.

It has become quite hilarious and ridiculous and a high point of each night… After the show, we congratulate each other with a high five and bow… like two sparring, kung-fu Jedi knights… recalling each other’s artful skill with genuine admiration and mutual awe and respect of how the word was slipped in.
