If I only had a brain...

Shoot well and happy. (Or tragic and bloody, more likely.)

Have lost adverbs. Must shop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Laurence Olivier was in it, although dead. (Way, way dead.)

Friends of mine did a radio skit over ten years ago about Laurence Olivier shilling for Coca Cola,

The audio is very choppy, to sound obviously put together from samples. "Coca Cola" is stitched together syllable by syllable. However, the last two words soar way more eloquently than the pitch deserves.

"Hello. I'm Laurence Olivier. I've been dead for over two years now. But though the marvellous technology of tape editing I'm able to speak to you from beyond the grave. What you are listening to right now was made by cutting together things I said in my many films and interviews. Although I never would have endorsed a product like this when I was alive, my estate has determined that if I was alive I would really want to tell you how much I enjoy the taste of Diet Coca Cola. I think Diet Coca Cola is really excellent dude. It's awesome. I wish I could have some now, but I can't because I'm dead. But take it from me, Laurence Olivier, maketh thy mouth alive with Diet Coca Cola. It's everything you want it to be."

Needless to say, funnier when The Vestibules do it. A fair amount is.

None of this means you'll see a series, but that's the goal.

Well appreciated. What tone are we looking at? Sexy? Funny? Sad? Macabre? All of the preceding?

Whose moon, though? Full or partail?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

A pilot. What's that, like 60 pages?

My BOOK got picked up.

Tim! awesome... very exciting.

I had an email composed in my head to you because I'm halfway through a book on Genghis Khan that you might enjoy.
