Why is it that on every visit to the health food grocery store, you, the health conscious consumer, are confronted by a staff resembling creatures who live in caves. You’d like to think that by purchasing tons of organic spaghetti, you will be eating...
More Chinese-manufactured toys will be recalled on Thursday when Mattel discovers a defect in one of their toys that will cause them to emit a vaporous gas that brainwashes children into attempting to assassinate the President. Also, the gas may contain...
Most of my old spec scripts are now out-of-date. The TV shows for which I wrote the scripts are canceled, or the shows have moved too far on in the past year or two for my scripts to be relevant. As a result, I’ve decided to make this my Summer of Spec...
There are those who say you can never be truly prepared for a hurricane. They say this not because it’s true, but because they’d like to interest you in insurance. All you really need to have to be prepared for a hurricane is a checklist. Preferably,...
After getting laid off, last summer, I allowed my Godaddy hosting to lapse, and with it went the last year of my blog. It was just one of the things I did to tighten the ol' belt during my unemployment. You didn't miss much. The last year's updates consisted...
During the Wedding Emily, all business, marched up to me and told me that we were ready to start. Outside the building confusion reigned. There was not an even number of my council members (rather than groomsmen) and bridesmaids! A quick survey of the...
I've been spending the weekend at deadCENTER Film Festival in Oklahoma City. Man with a Moustache is playing here, and I came to support the movie and see old friends. The reception that Man with a Moustache has gotten has been beyond belief for me. It...
Matt and I have finally finished That's Not Funny. The script has come a million miles since our first draft so many months and revisions ago. I think Matt and I have decided to wait until we're in Los Angeles to shoot it. Hopefully being there will give...
You’re a mayor or city councilor of a small city, township, or village that has seen an influx of potential residents due to the colossal destruction Hurricane Katrina visited upon New Orleans. You’d love to entice these displaced to make homes within...
If only it were as easy as Donald Trump makes it seem to be fired. On The Apprentice, contestants walk into a dimly lit room, sit before a triumvirate headed by Donald Trump, who cuts them down and fires them with rapidity, guillotining your career ambitions....
The New York Times feels Pluto should be downgraded from planet to rock (rock? rock? planet? rock?), a feeling so intense it deserves the full weight of placement on the paper’s esteemed editorial page. The Times thinks that 1) nearing a handful, there...
The Fresh Prince begins by expounding on the universal inability of parents to understand their children, suggesting that neither time nor location would make a difference in parents recognizing their kids’ potential to err. He suggests, however, that...
When I lived in California, a technologically progressive state, I learned that you could check traffic conditions by logging onto the state’s website. Area maps were had overlays that informed you of the traffic on the street by displaying green in low...
To my family, I’ll be the first to acknowledge that this year’s family reunion did not go as well as we’d hoped, and since I was responsible for procuring the commemorative T-shirts, all of which had our name misspelled, I am willing to bear my fair share...
Doesn't this look funny? No? I feared it from the very first promo I ever saw for Accidentally on Purpose. I feared that the show about a fertile older woman, hooking up with a younger guy, would be the most sterile half-hour on television this fall....
Today, I tried to call Last Call with Carson Daly and sell him some jokes for his non-WGA monologue. I had no luck; I even tried to get the receptionist to be a front for me. If anyone knows Carson Daly, let him know that I am non-Union and willing to...
Wendy's has made a liar of me. A gluttonous, grease-soaked liar. I've been an unhealthful eater for a while now, and I'd always blamed it on the choices available to me: Big Mac, Whopper, fries, etc.... I was happy to blame those guys for calorie-bombing...
A couple weeks ago, Hotjobs went from being a somewhat useful job search tool to being one of my favorite job search tools with one little tweak: It started scouring the web for job listings and publishing them below the job openings listed in its database....
I'm a thoroughly modern writer. I don't believe I've ever written anything of substance on a typewriter. I was a Wordperfect user for as long as it was plausible, finally giving up in 2001 when no one in the world could access my documents with my formatting...
Its been interesting working for Blockbuster during this deathmatch with Netflix. Five years ago, at my old Blockbuster in LA, customers would threaten to close their accounts and join Netflix, and no one would care. When I rejoined Blockbuster a year...
Two quickies. I went shopping at Alberston’s today and again noticed the odd coincidence that as the number of cell phones has been increasing, the number of clerks available to help customers seems to have been decreasing. That’s just a coincidence,...
Ross Lincoln is running for President of Birthday. I'm not sure who the other nominees are, whether the position has even a semblance of prestige, or whether the Presidency grants you any powers otherwise unavailable to mortals. As far as I can tell,...
As Greg has delicately and gracefully pointed out at The Talent Show (1,2), we have a space shuttle problem. In a nutshell, we are rolling through the stars in twenty year old wheels! I remember being embarrassed to drive my first car, an eighteen-year-old...
Yesterday, the Russian computers on the International Space Station failed. That meant the possibility of the Russians abandoning the space station, especially after having to spend a couple hours with the guy in the back saying "Dude, you should've gotten...
