So I got hired to tape and edit a play last week, a brand new awful "play for teens" which I shon't name. It's unpublished and being performed as some kind of educational thing, so apparently copyright laws and laws of decency don't apply.

It was a huge cast of around 30, everyone between 11 and 17 years old, and over the course of one hour play there was:

- a reference to truck nutz
- a lot of frighteningly realistic stage combat
- about 500 reasons for the playwright to get sued by the authors of A Greater Tuna
- the Carlos Mencia "retarded" noise
- Unauthorized songs by Alabama, Pat Benetar, and Elvis.
- a LOT of questionable costume choices by the girls.
- a ventriloquist act
- the phrase "Git 'R Done"

God help me it's all true.  Being an editor sucks when the material is this depressing. 
I need the money. (don't judge)

I heard these guys had fallen off, but I didn't think it was that bad.

Oh yeah, and a nod to the Monty Python dead parrot sketch.

Cuz kids today LOVE Monty Python.

Nicely done, Omar!

Just tell them, Dorvid: I wrote that hunk of junk.  Don't judge, everybody, I really needed that money for Erika's cat.

Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

I don't know if this counts, but I've been doing some freelance work for an interviewer friend, and thought I would throw it out here.

If any of you ever need an interview or podcast (or whatever) transcribed, my rates are desperately reasonable. PM me.

Not a very big deal, I know, but I am lending voice talent to a play in the Fringe Festival next month, marking my half-assed return to the theatre world.

That Comedians poster totally rocks.  It looks EXACTLY like Brian Posehn.

But 'last show'?  Really?

I am frustrated that they are not doing it here in Knoxville. Guess I will have to settle for the one-night-only broadcast-to-movie-theaters Glenn Beck Comedycast.
