Funny Day
Goof’n’ on Broadway
The Great White Way’s epic Spidey fail

Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Snarky Street?

It’s no Demon Sheep, but the Brazil/Pelosi mashup toward the end is pretty classic.

T/J: yesterday I was in a labor/enviro meeting; one of the attendees was Tarryl Clark , the person whom Michelle Bachmann beat in Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District. Tarryl is smart, articulate, funny, energetic and sympathetic to the working class. At a break, I asked her whether Bachmann is really crazy. She said that Bachmann is smart, calculating, ruthless, and completely in it for herself and not for party or country. Tarryl believes she lost the election due to being massively outspent by Bachmann.

@Dodgerblue:
Sounds about right, but I would also add Michelle’s not as smart as she (Michelle) thinks she is.

TJ/More layoffs today. My appointment is at 12:30.

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That:
Yikes.

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: Uh oh. I will burn a small effigy of Walt and pray to it.

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: I hope it’s to inform you of the additional responsibilities you’ll be taking on due to the staff reductions.

@redmanlaw: As though it were humanly possible for me to do any more work than I have at present…

@redmanlaw: Plus the huge salary and benefits increase.

@Dodgerblue: Haha, you guys think I work for Goldman-Sachs!!!!

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: Well, I figure that, when you get the limo and driver, we can go pick up Cassandra, go up Highway 1 and get Lefty, then head up to Oregon to drink wine with Cynica, all on the Mouse’s nickel. Right?

@Dodgerblue: Absolutely. That or Vegas.

OMFG count me in!! It could be just like It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!

@Dodgerblue: Might be worth flying in the for that one.

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: I could do Vegas. The limo would have to loop up North to get Cynica and Ian, and East for RML.

@Dodgerblue: Well, we’ll have to put it off, because I am safe. My boss got the axe, but they kept me.

ADD: We should totally have a massive Stinque up in Vegas, though. How fun would that be?

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: Lots. This summer?

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: Catt! Fucking Catt! Nine lives, y’all. Catt will outlive cockroaches after WW3! Whoooo!!!!

@Dodgerblue: Mrs RML: “I’ll go.”

@Dodgerblue: Maybe fall, at least from my house. We are booked through…but, like, November? Or October?

@redmanlaw: Right? This is the second round since I’ve been here.

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: What a relief. Do you get to do your boss’s job, too, for the same salary? That’s happened to me.
@Dodgerblue: Don’t forget Andrew! I just might be able to do Vegas. Mr Cyn so owes me.

@Mistress Cynica: No, but I have a feeling that might be coming. We’ll see. The company doesn’t cut off heads on the same day they move people up usually.

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: Are sales down?

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: Layoffs coming at Mrs RML’s newspaper, probably by the end of the month. She’s in a revenue generating operation (specialty publications, i.e., magazines for special events and entities such as art markets), so she’s been safe so far. Eventually, however, the newspaper will pare down to the point where it’s just an ad salesman and a clerk cutting and pasting articles from the wire.

It’s all my fault for pirating Hannah Montana.

@redmanlaw: I tell my folks the same thing: Most of my hackwork comes from departments that need to raise money, and they need to raise money now more than ever. Which is how I survive doing freelance during a recession.

@Dodgerblue: 15% in the last year. Flat market throughout the industry-at-large, declining across some Brands. The only thing buoying it up is an increase in MOD and instant access product. And at Disney our two tent-poles- Feature and Classic animation.

Everybody buys that shit.

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: Damn those starlets and their tabloid fodder lives!

@nojo: Sicko. The Mouse Police are on their way as we speak.

@redmanlaw: Tell her I’m thinking of her. I know how this stuff stresses one out.

I don’t understand a word of this posty-thingum. I can only say that Daniel Harry Potter can really dance and is Catt taking over Disney? Because I wonder what would happen if Aladdin got together with John Smith in Gaston’s weight room.

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: Congrats, Tommy. I’ll hope you’ll include a Joe Manganiello-lookalike rent-boy on our limo tour. Or how about just Joe Manganiello?

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That:
Congrats on your survival. I’ve endured that…ten/eleven/fourteen times. But watch out out for number 15.

@¡Andrew!: Oh dear God!

Can he sing?

@Benedick HRH KFC: Click to enlarge. He’s 6′ 5″.

What can I say?

I like ‘um BIG!

@¡Andrew!: OOh, too butch for me. I likes ’em a little gentle….

@Benedick HRH KFC: If I had taken over Disney that would have already happened.

@Benedick HRH KFC: I’ll have him singin’ in no time.

@¡Andrew!: Can he dance? He’s too young but 2 days with me will put 15 years on him. Oh and plus, can he act? Or does he just strip and sweat? Not that we don’t appreciate that. Changes could be made.

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That:
Bless you. So long a you’re there I know Disney will stay a big camp mess. When I read about ‘gay’ days at Mauswitch I wonder what days are ‘straight’. I mean, has no one ever been there? Are these the same people who find Dolly Parton wholesome?

@¡Andrew!: Bah. I’m 6-4. Abs and muscles don’t put the ball through the hoop — just ask LeBron what he thinks about tall, skinny Dirk.

@Dodgerblue: Ooh, Daddy, talk dirty some more…

@Benedick HRH KFC: Have you been to Gay Days at Disneyland? Mostly bears and their admirers.

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That:I haven’t been to gay day at the local A&P. They don’t let me out much.
