Whose Line is it Anyway is the first and only improvisational television programme to be successful. Originally a radio programme on BBC radio in 1988, WLiiA moved to television. The BBC didn't believe the show would last, so it moved to Channel 4. The British version, hosted by Clive Anderson, lasted ten years. It featured comedians such as John Sessions, Stephen Fry, Josie Lawrence, Tony Slattery, Mike McShane, Greg Proops, Steve Frost, Colin Mochrie, and Ryan Stiles. In 1998, the show moved to America. Stiles pitched the show to ABC, which lasted five years, though new episodes from old recordings air occassionally. The American version, hosted by Drew Carey, help start Wayne Brady's career. Brady became a regular on the programme in 1999, alongside Mochrie and Stiles. The fourth seat featured a rotating roster of performers, including Greg Proops, Chip Esten, Brad Sherwood, and Kathy Greenwood.
Though the show is over, most of the cast still perform improv. Some of the British performers are members of the Comedy Store Players, and perform every weekend in London. Most of the American performers tour across the United States and Canada.

Get the Whose Line Is It Anyway? mug.by stylies September 15, 2010
Get the tapping the sewage line mug.Something you say to blow off a dude trying to pick you up at a bar. A portmanteau of pick-up and blow-off.
OMFG! This total loser was flirting with me and I just wanted him to shut the fuck up and I said "Sorry, I like boys with tattoos" then he shows me his back and he has a huge like artwork thing on the back! Worst pick-off line ever!
I had a great pick-off line the other day. I was like "sorry, dude. I'd love to talk to you more, but I have some over-ripe fruit at home and I'm itching to bake it into a pie."

Get the pick-off line mug.It is that line that your sober (real) friends see you cross and will give friendly warning.
Sober people will pick up on the skank factor that your drunk ass is blind to.
That girl across the bar is a dog but your beer goggles and penis are saying its a fox.

Get the Dog to fox line mug.Someone who consistently makes comments that cross the line. Someone who doesn't understand witty banter, instead moving to insults. Typically a meathead, or someone who lacks the intelligence to burn someone in a humorous manor...
Person 1: Dude, that shirt is a little chochy...
P.L.C.: Shut up, my shit looks tight, why don't you go fuck yourself...and your mother..
Person 1: Real funny bro
P.L.C.: Like your fucking face bro...hahaha...
Person 1: Dude, you are such a Perpetual Line Crosser.

Get the Perpetual Line Crosser mug.1. To maintain a fragile balance between one extreme and another. i.e.: good and evil, sanity and insanity, decency and decadence, etc.
2. To behave; to abide by the the law and/or to abide by moral standards; to walk a straight path of decency by following the rules; to "walk the straight and narrow."
The latter definition is that applied in the song "Walk the Line" by Johnny Cash.

Get the Walk the line mug.Oh squiggly line in my eye fluid. I see you lurking there on the peripheral of my vision.
But when I try to look at you, you scurry away.
Are you shy, squiggly line?
Why only when I ignore you, do you return to the center of my eye?
Oh, squiggly line, it's alright, you are forgiven.
