Well, dear readers, the weekend is here, and she of the Evil Eye will be here shortly and I shall have to vamoose or, at the very least, vamelephant. Today our Countdown to Christmas continues. Of course, here in Los Angeles, California, it feels like summer, so we have to work extra hard to feel the Christmas vibe, oh, yes, we have to work very hard to feel the Christmas vibe. Actually, today I had a wonderful thought – wouldn’t it be nice if you went out and bought your true love six geese a-laying? I don’t know why I had that thought, but I think it’s an inspired gift, don’t you? I do believe that that is a present that your true love cannot possibly already have. I mean, who has six geese a-laying? I think it’s possible someone might have six geese, but not six geese that are getting it on. I think your true love will really appreciate these X-rated geese, don’t you? In fact, to make it really perfect, send along a copy of that famous story, The Randy Vicar and the Six Sex-Starved Geese. What a Christmas your true love is going to have – what with humping geese, five count them five golden rings, four birds with a phone habit, three French hens, two doves with the head of a turtle, and a partridge in a pear tree. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too?
Speaking of exciting, it was grand fun watching our sales rank at amazon get better and better yesterday, thanks to Peter Filichia’s lovely recommendation of Writer’s Block at theatermania.com. We went from a sales rank of over 500,000 all the way to 42,000 in the course of one day. Someone was buying the book, that much is certain. Considering amazon.com lists over two million books, I’d say we were doing swell. A few more mentions like that and I think this book will outsell all three Kritzer books put together.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because she of the Evil Eye will be here very soon and I shall have to hie myself to the motor car.
Yesterday, I bid on a VHS copy of Li’l Abner. Of course, I already have Li’l Abner on VHS and have already transferred it to DVD. The reason I bought this is because the seller was offering the tape and a DVD, which he mastered off the tape using professional mastering equipment, so I’m sure it will look a lot better than what I did. After I sent payment via paypal, he contacted me and, as it turned out, was a fan of my recordings. So, he’s throwing in a DVD of Mame, letterboxed and in stereophonic sound. I cannot wait.
Now wait just a darned minute. I believe we’d all just better put on our pointy party hats and our colored tights and pantaloons, I believe we’d all better serve up some cheese slices and ham chunks, I believe we’d all better dance the Hora or the boogaloo, because not only do we have a birthday to celebrate, we’ve got two count them two birthdays to celebrate. Yes, Virginia, today is the birthday of dear readers PennyO and Dan the Man. So, first let’s give a big birthday cheer to PennyO, one of our favorite people. On the count of three: One, two, three – HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PENNYO ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PEOPLE!!! Now, let’s give a big birthday cheer to our very own Dan the Man. On the count of three: One, two, three – HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR VERY OWN DAN THE MAN!!!
Two birthdays – I think some Internet cake is in order, don’t you? Let’s all give our favorite cake descriptions so we can all vicariously eat many cakes without gaining any weight.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must hie myself to the motor car and stay away from the home environment until the early afternoon. Today’s topic of discussion: What are your favorite TV shows and moments of 2004. For me it’s easy – none. Your turn. Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we, and keep the home fries burning whilst sending the X-rated geese to your true love.
