I just found out that a co-worker who sits kitty corner from me has co-written a play that's being put on by the Factory Theater in Chicago (and is being directed by Nick Digilio, the WGN radio host who has done some fun interviews with Tim Minear and other Wonderfalls/Firefly related people). I popped my head up to verify the info, and Mr. Shy here was all "I don't like to self-promote, but yeah, that's me."

It'd be funny with a line of smaller text underneath saying "Member #793,021", or some such.
Actually, I can easily see Carrell as something of a comedic heir to Don Adams.

Heh. Should've guessed.
I want to get one of those "card-carrying member of a reality based community" t-shirts!
Oh god. I"m not one of Those People who puts t-shirts on their dog, but that one would almost make me do it. (Quote: "We cannot let terriers and rogue nations hold this nation hostile or hold our allies hostile." Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 21, 2000 ")
I might have to get one of the "Secret Plans for the Vast Liberal Conspiracy" notebooks, though.
