Shakedown’s “TYTE” Operating System Incurs Insurmountable 1st Quarter Losses

Investors in the improv group Shakedown hung their heads low this morning, as their first software release “TYTE” failed to sell 3 copies.

  ”This is a tough economy, and Snow Leopard and Windows 7 aren’t helping,” says software engineer/comedian Joel Jensen. 

  Others disagreed. 

  ”It’s a Word document. These jokers don’t know what they’re doing,” reports industry specialist Tuck Mansgrove. “They took investors for a ride.”

  STOP

  GO

  ”We are pushing ahead!” shrieked Shakedown spokesman Rene Gube. “We can do anything! Our coach said so.”

  ”I never said that to them about improv or anything,” responded coach Joel Church-Cooper. “They’re a C+ team at best.”

  ”One thing is for sure,” says now-homeless investor Jane Wogden, “I have nothing anymore.”

“you enjoy doing work you love.”

We are receiving early reports that each member of the improv squad Shakedown received the above fortune in his or her fortune cookie, respectively, after eating a delicious meal at a Los Angeles Chinese restaurant.

Witnesses say the astonished comedy team exchanged several glances with each other, eyes wide, upon realizing that each had been dolled out the same vague insight to living fully and happily as they navigate the wiles of the world.

“I don’t know what it means, to be honest with you,” group member Rene Gube said. “But Matt [Sheelen] asked a guy a couple tables away from us if he had the same fortune as we all had, and he didn’t.”

Added team mate Hector Santa Cruz, “His fortune was bullshit, though. Like something about living on the moon some day or something.”

Team member Nicholas Mandernach reportedly fainted as the fleeting thought that, perhaps, in some grand stroke of panoramic orchestral brilliance, the Universe conspired with Fate to draw the 6 members of the team together, each individual with their own set of unique skills, and had made and attempt at communicating some fundamental truth to them.

Mandernach was unavailable for comment and is now resting comfortably at a nearby hospital for overnight observation.

“The most important thing to take away from tonight is probably how the concept of Destiny was proven true,” member Toni Ramos muttered to herself as she unconsciously scrawled, over and over, an infinity sign on a paper placemat prominently displaying illustrations of Chinese Zodiac animals.

The group is now considering residing in a cave in the Nevada desert and awaiting instruction from the Divine Force That Runs Through All Things.

“We all sort of munched on the cookies normally for the first half, but then, I don’t know why, we all sort of looked at each other and all of us ate the second bite of that cookie completely in sync, like, in unison,” said member Joel Jensen. “Rene and Toni each actually took a third bite because theirs broke into three pieces at first. But they took that third bite completely in sync too.”

“It was pretty cool,” Sheelen said. “It makes me stop and think about my role in the boundless drama of Existence. It’s nice to get a glimpse into the Core of Everything and see some warmth there.”

Shakedown can next be seen performing at Room 101, on September 30.
