Your self-promotion is devoid of shams?

Anyway, congrats.

Not to derail the topic here because you found someone to pay you to write for them... A feat I am sure as hell I could not do without paying someone to pay me to write for them... But I was looking at this and thought to myself "Self...What is this "Shepherd Express" Religious in nature? Are sheep involved? Perhaps both at one time? Could life get better than religion and sheep together again at last??" So I clicked on the bitmapped logo in the upper left to go to the front page of this site and was greeted with:

this!

I literally laughed out loud at the picture of the cover. It looks like skanky crackwhores on ice who are faster lounder AND stronger than the last crackwhores on ice. Somehow I am thinking some degree of Irishness is supposed to be conveyed on this also because these happy crackheads are supposedly the Trinity Irish Dancers and the font is green...But I did not think there were so many dancers in Ireland who liked to shake what their momma gave them in clothes normally reserved for hookers and strippers... I am not sure but aren't those itty bitty plaid skirts??? Nothing like catering to the pedophile population to boost ticket sales. I know my next vacation desintation is going to be now let me tell ya! I was shocked until I saw the venue this show was being performed in, the majestic confines that is the Pabst Theatre. PBR and theatre go together with scantily clad whorish irish dancers like PB&J. I wish this was in Chicago, I would so go.

well, i was originally going to ask all of you to donate a few hundred dollars to keep the operation going, but thought against it.


fyi: i think the shepherd express is named after a milwaukee street that's been historically arty and/or housed the original offices 30 or so years ago. they're run and/or affiliated by the village voice or alternative newspapers, inc.

Like I said its awesome someone is publishing what you write. I am not knocking your wirting or even the publication really. That front page just made me laugh when I saw it and the deeper I looked into it the funnier it got.

Now as far as 100 bones to keep it going... Will the trinity irish dancers come to my house for a private show if I make a donation?

my childhood best friend was one of the star trinity dancers about 10 years ago. i have no idea where she is now, but i might be able to arrange a meeting of that. she's ridiculously hot and awesome.

You can use that money to pay for all those exclamation points.

Yea! Is it something online where I can access it? Actually, it would just be easier if you could forward all the copy you write directly to my email address. I need to be amused.

The opposite of writing comedy for someone in LA is spending nearly four hours commuting to a copyediting job for a pharma company.

I hope your writing efforts are as helpful to Adult Movie Clips as this site has been.

it's actually a job writing pap and topical jokes for morning djs -- but i get to work from home and in my pajamas, which is really my dream. i can let you know the good one liners as they get published, but otherwise the only way to hear my jokes is to listen to mancow (or some other jackass in some other state) in the morning, which i would never, ever ask anyone to do...
