Reader Participation Part II

Reader Participation Part II

You were all so responsive and supportive in the NCJ “Best of Humboldt” contest, that I thought we could try it again. This time it will be much simpler and more fun. I promise! I set up an extension of this blog at the humor website “Funny or Die”. There, you will find three humorous pieces that have not appeared in this blog. All you have to do is vote “Funny” or “Die” at the bottom of each piece.

So please, click the link and decide for yourself. Is “50 Reasons Why Your Vibrator is Better than a Boyfriend” funny, or does it deserve to die?

We often imbibe a little more than usual around the holidays, so reading “Warning Signs that You Might Be Drunk” might help you remember the tell tale signs of inebriation before it’s too late, and you might think it funny, or wish it died in an auto accident on the way home from a New Year’s Eve party.

Finally, at http://www.funnyordie.com/lygsbtd , “Why Beer is Better Than a Girlfriend”, a piece I wrote for all of my single male friends who are lucky enough to have beer this holiday season. Does it make you laugh, or do you want to punch me in the eye?

 

I hope to post more pieces to funny or die in the near future, so check the link to “lygsbtd at funny or die in the links section of this blog from time to time.

Artist bio: The writer in me says: “Don’t tell them who you are, show them what you do.” The artist in me says: “It must be strong, simple, bold, yet rich with detail, but above all, original.” The filmmaker in me says: “We need to contextualize your work by weaving the roots of the Psychedelic Revolution, the Environmental Movement, Gaia Theory, Future Primitivism and musical influences from Iannis Xenakis to Bart Hopkin into a narrative that portrays an iconoclast's struggle for cultural relevance from the forested hinterlands of rural Northern California within the greater post-industrial, post-post-modern, post-reality mind-fuck of the 21st Century.” The critic in me says: “Will that guy ever shut up?” The comedian in me says: “It has to make me laugh at least once.” The engineer in me says: “Don’t forget to tell them that you do it all off-grid, with solar power, using recycled materials.” And the improvisational musician in me says: “Cut! Great job everybody!”
