The power of saying “whoopsie”.

Steven and I had a recent restaurant experience that really bugged me. Actually, it wasn’t all that recent – it was last spring – but it still bugs me.

New! Conan teaser spots for TBS

Here are a few of the spots I wrote for the launch of Conan’s new show on TBS. They’re part of the “Missing You” campaign, by Stun Creative. Stun had the concept – people missing Conan, with the John Waite song – and asked me to come up with several scenarios. What do you think?

Don’t take candy from perverts in tennis skirts.

I’m probably the last person to discover this DIY movie website, but I just came across it today and had to try it. Made this movie in 10 minutes, but I hope it will make an impact on millions of lives. My next movie will have better camera moves. UPDATE: Just changed the title of…

Gifts for the dad who feels everything

Today is my dad’s 78th birthday. Buying presents for him is always hard.  Not because he’s “the man who has everything,” but because he’s “the man who wants nothing normal.”

Free trip to Europe!*

(*Via sensory memory only. Certain terms and conditions may apply.) In Europe, they like to pick one song and play it over and over and over. That song, and only that song.

I didn’t got the look.

I started 5th grade in 1979. That’s when designer jeans were “all the rage.”  An expression your grandmother would use, but really – they were the rage. All the sexy girls in my class wore them. (Yes, to ten year olds, other ten year olds are sexy.)

“C” is for Child Star

What would you think of someone who, for your birthday, gave you a picture of herself? You’d LOVE it, right? That’s what I thought. Well, as a belated 40th birthday gift, I’m giving Sesame Street something even better than a photo of me: a video of me. On Sesame Street. I was in the show…

It’s like coming to Broad-WAY!

Action Park was a water park in New Jersey that deservedly earned the nickname “Accident Park” or, alternately, “Class Action Park.” Having gone there once a summer to slide head-first down their uninspected concrete water slides, with some fat kid crashing into us from behind every time, it’s a miracle my sister and I are…

Sorry I’m tardy for the party.

Oh, man. Can you believe this got on Ellen? She sounds like me (bad enough) doing karaoke while being waterboarded. For those of you not familiar with Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kim Zolziak is the one with the wig business and the married boyfriend she calls “Big Poppa.” Big Poppa, if you couldn’t guess from…

Little Dope Fiend On The Prairie

Do they still make Very Special Episodes and After School Specials? I hope so. They were the cornerstone of my education in Things Not To Do, like drugs, drinking, drinking and driving, bingeing and puking, killing yourself, and getting molested by the nice man who owns the bicycle shop. (Poor Dudley.*) Those TV shows served…
