Out with the Old

Out with the Old
I thought there might have been a theft of an 11-year-old song I wrote about Jim Cuddy's abuse called It Makes Me Wonder (I left the music out this time to help their deceived fans read my words better.) But I just checked on YouTube and the only It Makes Me Wonder was Maroon 5's. I laughed out loud, here in the library. If I'd have done that in January 2017, it would have been Blue Rodeo well on top of that search. And I didn't have to write it a second time because I wrote it twice when I first shared it. It has two different sets of lyrics. The second is meant to supplant the first.

While I did a good job of putting together that set of daytime cafe rock back in '07, which I thought complimented my poetry at the time, and which was largely stolen by Blue Rodeo, I really want to stay in the present with new songs like Simper. Outside of music, I have other callings, such as drawing cartoons. I may be close to producing a new cartoon to go with my new song on YouTube. These personal victories mean a lot to me.

Trying to create a good cartoon to express an idea you feel strongly about is a cheerful task. It's much better than reporting assaults on your brain by criminals with your music or liars on the TV and radio - even if such assaults persist after you report them over and over again. So I'm going to look for some images now and I hope you find someone else to distract you in the meantime than some mighty star who skulks around at night on the internet and violates my posts.

Don't Shoot Me

Don't Shoot Me Another one I pulled off that documentary. Classic hyperbole. Probably repeating the same stages of development, if you're saving it over intervals. Looks like the boring blogger was the life of their party - again. Please erase all outside posts that show too many similarities with my posts and enforce my copyright protection. It was terrible. They gathered us into a barn and lined us up to be shot. I was at the back, and when it got to be my turn, I said, 'Don't shoot me.' And he said, 'Why not?' And I said, 'Because I asked you not to.' And he shot me! Shot me in the hair. And I went down and played dead. But he came over and poked me in the abdomen with his rifle and made me twitch. And my eyes opened and there he was. I just looked up at him helplessly and said, 'Don't shoot me.' And he shot me again! Shot me in the appendix. I lay there for a minute until he was satisfied he'd killed me, and

The Netherwork: Flush with Enthusiasm

The Netherwork: Flush with Enthusiasm Their true evil must be a lot less funny to people now that everyone knows who wrote these scripts about them. I don't mind re-experiencing the laughs that first gave rise to these works, but consumers of my comedy would have had a lot more laughs by now if I didn't have to spend so much time recovering it. (In a rustic cottage, a network executive concludes an intimate interview with a journalist.) Journalist: I know that you broadcasters have been accused of being a bunch of elitist snobs, but now that you've invited me here and let me watch you split your own wood for the fireplace, I can see that those accusations were way out of line. Executive: Well, I hope that your readers will soon share your revelation. Journalist: Don't worry, they will. Mind if I use the bathroom before I go? Executive: No, not at all. (Pointing) It's down the hall, first door on your left. Journalist: Thank you. (He

Girl Logic

Girl Logic (A tea room. A matronly woman sits with a ten-year-old girl.) Instructor: Hello, girls! I hope you're ready for another lesson in Girl Logic . I'm Gail, your instructor, and this is my niece, Jennifer. (Applause.) Thank you for sending us some more examples of your beautiful handwriting, proving the superiority of your language centers . See here how elaborately Jennifer made her 'J'? (She holds up what might pass for a page from the manuscript of the King James Bible. Applause.) Keep up the good work, ladies. One day you may be called upon to write a menu on a chalkboard. Recent studies have shown that you possess an innate gift for shorthand, as well, with prefabricated contractions all ready to go in your brains. Some of you can string as many as twenty-five syllables along one distinctive hump. However, before you write things down, it's important to check your spelling. Do you girls know how to activate your subtitles? You
