A bit I wrote a few days ago, trying to find a different take on the whole situation in a different light. It's getting very hard to submit pandemic material these days. But, write what you know... The Days of Quarantine On the first day of quarantine my true love gave to me Purell and a roll of T.P. On the second day of quarantine my true love gave to me two santi wipes… On the third day of quarantine my true love gave to me three frozen pizzas… On the fourth day of quarantine my true love gave to me four online memes…  On the fifth day of quarantine my true love gave to me Five Rubber Gloves!
On the twelfth day of quarantine my true love gave to me twelve pounds of chocolate… On the twenty-second day of quarantine my true love gave to me 24 press conferences… On the thirty-second day of quarantine my true love gave to me 32 bars of soap… On the fifty-seventh day of quarantine my true love gave to me 57 razors… On the sixty-twelfth day of quarantine my true love gave to me a haircut because I’m looking really shaggy… On the Liberty-Biberty day of quarantine my true love gave to me a plastic bag to wear on my head in lieu of a mask… And a Purell and some T.P.! Here's something I was bicycling around to the few sites I have a relationship with.... DisneyWorld Announces New Post-Virus Attractions Yes, a lot of vacation plans went awry when the Disney theme parks closed in the face of the Coronavirus. It was the right decision to make, but disappointed us. But, like everyone else, Disney is making plans for its reopening. To that end, they’ve just release a list of the new attractions that the Disney Imagineers are re-theming for their post-quarantine openings:

TMI:Hollywood, the LA comedy troupe and producers of TMI Minute are producing a live webcast featuring a monologue and various cast members and crew (and the occasional East Coast writer...me) to discuss the topics of the day. They started March 25th and I just figured out how to download FB videos and edit my jokes together! So, if you haven't see them online at Facebook, here's a sampler of my material, then tune in on their FB page at 1 pm PST. Stay well! From 1999 to 2004-ish, I was one of the contributing writers for Garrison Keillor's renowned radio show "A Prairie Companion." I learned a lot of things there, mostly how to spell 'prairie." It was a solid gig and I'm proud of my work there. But, like any other job, there were...things...  Another one of my bits that went through a number of versions. It was a prose piece. It was a stage sketch. And it was written up as a radio bit for PHC. The show had been on a break after it's European tour and I wasn't as vigal as I could have been creating new content. I was pretty much just submitting one sketch a week, alternating between new ideas when they came to me and trying to resurrect older material in the drawers. This had been on ThemeStream and Vines. I got it published again on the old Higgs/Weldon website at one point. It's a bit I always enjoyed. It started as a ridiculous guy with ridiculous ways to save money, then in later drafts it morphed into a survivalist-type with ridiculous ways to save money for the collapse of civilization that was fast approaching. PHC gave it a pass. Here's the radio version of... The Frugal FanaticOne of my odder writing gigs was a freelance job I had from 2007 to 2013, writing for the conservative news site, Newsbusters.
 Jack Keller passed away March 17, 2020. I got to meet him when I "joined" the comedy troupe "Style Without Substance" that worked out of the Whole Theater in Montclair, NJ. I've written about the group here and there. It really was a wonderful time. We were young, talented, had enthusiasm and a solid base to work from. These guys were so talented, it was a pleasure to write for them all. And Jack, he was unique. He just had this presence and cadence that just made things funnier. He was friends and roomate with the troupe's director, Tom Gilpin, and they developed an interesting interaction which I enjoyed writing for. Does anyone remember public access TV? It was like Youtube before Youtube. But you had to go to their studios and use their equipment to produce a show. I decided I was going to learn how to do it. You had to take a class. And then the plan was to tape some TV shows with the group to have a demo reel. I had to produce and direct a scene. I wrote an original bit and there were only two people I would consider to cast in it. Jack and Tom did me the biggest favor by coming to Staten Island from NJ to tape this bit. I won't say it went smoothly, but they made it work. Kill Spill Update |
