Michael's Musings

May 10, 2011

All my one-person plays are now available at Amazon, and on Sunday, I finished my work on the edited manuscript of DRACULA MEETS JACK THE RIPPER And Other Revisionist Histories and sent it off to the publisher, so now I'm sort of taking it easy.

I know what my next 2 book projects are going to be and I already have a publisher for both, but I'm not in a great hurry to start work on either one.  Actually, both of those books are already written, and the only new writing I have to do for each is an Introduction.

But, they can wait a couple of weeks or more.

In the meantime, I've put a review for THE BIG BANG on the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page.  So, take a look.

You have a creative day.

The teacher  gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a  story with a moral at the end of it.  The next day, the kids came back and, one by one, began to tell their stories.

There were all the  regular types of stuff: spilled milk and pennies saved.  But then the  teacher realized, much to her dismay, that only Janie was left. 

"Janie, do you have a story to share?"

''Yes ma'am.  My daddy told me a story about my Mommy.  She was a Marine pilot in Desert Storm, and her plane got hit.  She had to bail out over enemy territory,  and all she had was a flask of whiskey, a pistol, and a survival knife. 

"She drank the whiskey on the way down so the bottle wouldn't break, and then her parachute landed her right in the middle of 20 Iraqi  troops.  She shot 15 of them with the pistol, until she ran out of bullets, killed four more with the knife, till the blade broke, and then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands."

''Good Heavens," said the horrified teacher. "What did your Daddy tell you was the moral to this  horrible story?"

"Don't f**k with Mommy when she's been  drinking."

You have a creative day.
