Tim, thank you? I was reading your post about the Carl Weathers piece where you said you didn’t know if it was weird-good or weird-weird, and I thought, “Which one is LOLZIES!!1@!?” Then I enjoyed a few moments of anxiety. I’m glad it’s insane-good in your book.
Derek, we Gingers do have range. I They don’t call us the Super-Race for nothing. Our only known weakness is direct sunlight. Other than that, we are unstoppable.
Craig, you get that feeling because it’s true. Seriously, my process is to begin a conversation, play both sides and see how ridiculous it will get. I don’t spend a lot of time revising the dialog, I try to keep it as close as I can to the way I improvise it when I first write the “joke.”
Thanks for commenting, guys, and thanks for reading.

Charlie Trotter. You are insane. Oh so insane. This is a good thing.

Seeing you looking ghetto is…well, it’s fitting. Man, Gingers can do anything.

Why do I get the feeling you actually have conversations like this with yourself all the time?
