Hall Happenings: No-Talent Show 90

The comparitively-warm tem- peratures of late March appar- ently have an unusual effect on certain campus-dwellers. It seems that every spring, there is a large number of residents who get the idea that they possess some form of talent. For the most part, this notion of theirs seems silly (it is by no means a permanent af- fliction; like temporary insanity,

it eventually passes). As silly as this notion may seem, however, it can prove to be infinitely enter- taining. It thus came to pass that on the evening of March 28, many would-be performers came out of the closet, for it was on this night that the House Committees of Marian and Bernardine, together with Residence Life, staged the fifth annual No-Talent Show in

the Marian Hall lounge.

As in previous years, the turnout Wednesday night was ex- ceptional; fifteen acts had signed up to strut their stuff, and un- der the guidance of emcees Tony MacKenzie and Chris Livingston, the show proved to be one of the most successful and enter- taining in recent memory. It is unfortunate that great atten-

tion cannot be paid to each act; there are, however, several per- formances that, for different rea- sons, stood out from the oth- ers. The most notable of these acts consisted of Scott Gallant and Kim Wells, whose rendition of ”Puss ’n Boots” earned them first-place honours (the judges overlooked the fact that Scott had neglected to shave his legs).

Credit is also given to Illyan Vermeersch and Marla Anderso who, with their piano-xylophon act, won the ”Too Talented T Be In This Show” award. Less illustrious awards went to th girls from Fourth-floor Bernay dine, who danced off with th "Absolutely No Talent” award and the Toothbrush Act, pe formed by Chad, Goose, Ro and Bunker, which undisputed| won the boys the ”Truly Taste less” award (if there had been ”Let’s Make Some People Thro Up” award, they would have wo that, too). Honourable mer tions go to, among other acts Chuck and Slink’s preview gq Marian Hall in 2010, Chris an Tony’s "Ode to the Pumpkin’ and the Second-floor Bernardi girls, who, bless their hearts, e tered several acts in the show.
