Does Anybody Remember Laughter?
To be honest, there’s a part of me that’s actually looking forward to April Fool’s Day on Favrd. I think it just might be the tipping point, the moment where all comedy is finally sucked into a black hole of its own making and we have to start all over again from scratch, drawing a penis in the dirt with a stick and gesturing at it with a desperate grunt.

Uncut Twitter No. 999
Here is the unexpurgated version of today’s Twitter post:
Your baby did not appreciate my Pacino impression. I don’t know, he crawled outside somewhere. Yeah well maybe my FEELINGS got run over! Hoo-ah!
P.S. I think you will hear my dead-on Pacino impression in tomorrow’s shocking finale of The Fireland Podcast. Well, assuming a) I actually bother to put it together tonight...
I'm Old, Part XXVIII
I’d almost forgotten until I saw a picture just now, but I attended SXSW once, exactly ten years ago. I wrote a thing about it for my website which I just re-read and I have to say, as per usual, the writing had me wincing pretty regularly.
“Thus a massive black hole of unhappy and noisome young men,” “that peculiarly Californian brand of desperate malaise,”...

The Reviews Are In!
We’re only four episodes deep into The Fireland Podcast and already the Twitter buzz is deafening!
It keeps on getting worse and worse.
Wife asked why I listen to [it] and I said because it’s bad, but it’s only 2 minutes of bad.
Kinda wanting a better “opening” to understand or frame purpose more like a traditional podcast would.
I liked your first one but...
Statham! Yell It While You're Fucking!
“Statham’s imdb.com profile, collectively, is a promise to you, the weary filmgoer. It’s a promise that says, ‘I promise that you will not FOR ONE SECOND be bored during one of my movies. You won’t learn shit about the human condition, or feel a collective connection with the brotherhood of man. But if you give me $10, I will fuck an explosion while a Slayer song...

The Location Scout
Here is some info on Kevin Fanning’s The Location Scout. Look how he quotes me saying “don’t quote me on this.” The cheek on this guy. But listen: I really do think it’s the best thing he’s written. I didn’t want to come right out and say it because then he’d get all braggy about it, and also I still need to refer to some other stories of his to make...

The Celebrity Chronicle
Thanks to the vigilant Archive.org, the first project I ever made for the web lives on.
I’m working on a longer post about my modest, mid-90s labor of love (get ready for some hilarious FileMaker Pro anecdotes), but for now I’ll just leave you with a few of my favorite “brushes with celebrity.”

Please understand, this is a kid’s show. A fucking awesome kid’s show.
