Today, or so they keep telling me, is Talk Like a Pirate Day. Arr! In celebration, I (or rather, Dirty Tom Bonney) would like to present a little comedy sketch I wrote and performed last year with the Penn State Monty Python Society:
Day: September 19, 2002
Courtesy of Caitlin R. Kiernan, some very interesting (some outright disturbing) photomanipulations by artist J.K. Potter. I think my personal favorites are his cover for Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes and this one, titled simply “Elder God”.
This morning, I received twenty-two e-mail messages. Of those, fourteen were spam with subject headers like “secrets about your credit” and “meet singles in your area” and, strangely enough, “garden ornaments”. Of the eight remaining, three were University-wide or departmental mailings that did not pertain to me, three were links to this Italian coffin maker (of which I was already well aware thanks to Neil Gaiman and the folks at Invisible City), one contained the results of a poll on whether or not a fellow capper should attend a Janeane Garofalo show (90% said yes), and one was a mass e-mail from Warren Ellis’ mailing list Bad Signal, which gets sent out two or three times a day.
Man, real e-mail would be nice.
What I said here, only more so.
