Simon answered the door to his house and let Jane in. "Paul's sorry he couldn't make it. He's got some work to finish, but I thought I'd stop by." She said to Simon and Graeme in the lounge. "This is supposed to be a man's weekend, Jane..." Said Graeme. He waved his hand over the beers, chips and porno movies that were spread over the room. He was eyeing t...
Working for a furniture company I sometimes get sent out on customer call backs for defective or damaged furniture. Most of the time it’s just pain in the ass housewives who you can never satisfy, but sometimes I get lucky and get a pleasurable experience where I’m really able to satisfy our customer. Like just the other day when I was sent out to go inspect...
It wasn't New York and it wasn't L.A. but comedy is -- and always was -- a road game. I was returning to the circuit after going through a messy divorce. The call from an old friend to play a string of one-nighters across the Midwest and up into Canada came at just the right time. First gigs were several months away and I threw out my old material and starte...
Blue is for boys, pink is for girls. Boys play with Matchbox cars and G.I. Joe while girls get My Little Pony and Barbie. Boys want to grow up and be astronauts, scientists, firefighters; girls want to be ballerinas, secretaries, and teachers. There are so many stereotypes inundated in society that pertain to gender that it's ridiculous, especially since the...
I always wanted my own business but could never think of what kind of business to open, that is, until I thought about writing 750-1,000 word custom stories for people. Once people discover that I'm a writer, they always tell me that I should write their life story. Okay, I will, only it will cost you. Then, they don't mention it again. I realized a niche i...
During my initial forays into the swinging arena, the Internet wasn't even a whisper on the lips of the public. Digital cameras? The only things digital in that archaic Stone Age were alarm clocks and microwave oven displays. We're talkin' VCRs and cassette tapes. Ozzy was still perceived as some dove-devouring, Satanic psychopath, as opposed to the pablum-...
"I don't get upset if people think I'm crazy. If you go to a mental hospital and someone calls you a name, would you get upset? Of course not. Well, that's the way I think about the world. They don't know any better." ― Jacque Fresco If you're a mouse in a cage, you don't see yourself as such, because you don't see the cage. Instead, you view yourself as...
2. Once Sabrina Meadows decided to take the lead role things moved quickly; Alex handpicked the best makeup artists, the best wardrobe stylists, the best cameramen, the best editors, the best everything. He firmly believed that the cast he'd assembled were all perfect for their roles. And the addition of Sabrina would guarantee a large audience. All the pie...
My name is Ana. My husband and I recently moved into a rather posh neighborhood, in a brand new town. Jason, my husband, received a new promotion, and off we went. So like the good and dutiful wife I am, I smiled and made the best of it. I loved our new home, don't get me wrong. It was perfect, on a quiet street in an established suburb. A wonderful place...
Tom woke to the sound of the alarm clock striking his favorite tune. Rising nude but groggily from bed, he made his way to the bathroom and took care of his necessary business. Tom then did his 200 sit ups and 40 push ups while still nude and then donned a pair of lightweight nylon running shorts, some ankle-height socks, his sneakers and a t-shirt and heade...
