SoF Timeline
From Scratchpad
NOTE: This timeline, for the time being will be overly detailed until such time as articles can be created that these details are relevant to. Some of these events will undoubtedly not be remarkable looking at the overall history of Purdue Improv Club, but should be noted somewhere. This will be here for now.
This is a timeline of general events in the history of the Ship of Fools and Purdue Improv Club. The Events that should possibly be included:
- Improv Shows
- Fools first and last shows
- Origination of certain inside jokes and practices (e.g. Paul's Dead Mom, Practice of Toasting Paul's Dead Mom)
- Major events in the history of Purdue Improv Club.
