You'll have to Pardon Me.

My Uncle Wade is a man very much beloved in my family. When his father, my Grandpa, died a couple years back it left Wade as the patriarch of the family and never has anyone been better suited to be the hub and focal point of a family. A successful and well-to-do Oral Surgeon, he had a gigantic home... [More]

Sheh eh eh,eh,eh,ehree Bayaybee!

I'm thinking about taking our little game and upping the ante. See what you think. I'll go ahead and submit Night of the Wombat just to see what dreams may come to a story that literally came right off the top of my head. But since I started up this whole sting-y thingy, I've since learned that ther... [More]

Pour the Bubbly - Night of the Wombat is on it's way!

Night of the Wombat - Impresses the brass at The Screenplay Agency. If you're confused check the previous blog entry. I've got to at least finish up the first act before I send it, but I don't suppose it will hurt to keep them waiting. I'll work on it tonight. I think the gals should come face to fa... [More]

Night of the Wombat - Let's Do This

Night of the Wombat - Let's Do This

It's time to see if this spruce goose will fly. As you may know we're attempting an investigative cyber-sting by submitting a screenplay that I wrote on-line over the past several days entitled Night of the Wombat. (Read below). The outfit we're punking is called the Screenplay Agency! Chosen becaus... [More]

Inner-mission

You might remember I used to write a lot more for this site and I feel bad that I haven't been as active as I used to be. So I figure I owe this one to the Boneman. It's a 4,000 word tale of my fucked-up experience in the Laramie, Wyoming hospital for eight days. I don't know what Adam was talking a... [More]

The Plot Thickens - Mate!

The Plot Thickens - Mate!

I've been a bit shameless lately, in the role of huckster for my own screenplay – it's just that y'all are the only connections I've got, but by way of apology I think I've figured out a way for all of us to become struggling screenwriters and have a good old bit of fun in the process. During the c... [More]

Clint Eastwood blasts Mormons in drunken late-night tirade.

This starts just the same old funny crap, but read down to the ugly truth - I'm pretty sure I've got this shit sorted out. If it weren't true, you'd think I made this up in order to illustrate the absurdity of turning one mans political opinions into front page, top-story news for over a week. I... [More]

Tyson Cantrell vs. Mel Gibson

Tyson Cantrell vs. Mel Gibson

Readers of the site are already very well familiar with our resident smart ass (and music guru) Tyson Cantrell. You may have noticed that he hasn't exactly been writing a ton lately. No, we haven't sent this legendary genius packing. Actually, Mr. Cantrell has been caught up in this whole Mel Gibson... [More]

Rosario Dawson has my Script!

As you may have guessed if you follow the site at all, I've just returned from San Diego and the spectacular Comic – Con and I have to say that of all the film festivals that I've been fortunate enough to attend this one is far and away the funnest. Sure Sundance has it's charms, but it doesn't hav... [More]

The Boneman and I (along with our faithful photographers Tyler and Thomas) are back from four glorious days in a whale's vagina. We're speaking, of course, of movie geek heaven – the exhilarating Comic-Con convent... [More]

The Dirty Yurts of Utah

The Dirty Yurts of Utah

Today I leave Park City – home, as you know, of the Sundance Film festival, and head south, where I'll spend one night in my southern Utah home and then first thing tomorrow head out for San Diego and Comic-con 2006. Aside from the numerous film premieres and sneaks that we'll be treated to, I'm rea... [More]

Al Qaeda vs. Hezbollah

Al Qaeda vs. Hezbollah

I kinda feeling sorry for myself right now, from this computer I can hear the gleeful shouts of my children and their cousins engaged in an all-out water fight with each other and their aunts and uncles. We're up in the mountains near Park City and it's still 95 degrees, and I really should be out t... [More]

Hot and Spicky

Gotta make with the funny fast today, getting ready to leave home yet again – this time for a yearly family reunion (Lady Bone's father's people). Plenty of funny stuff on this front, but today I need to discuss more topical matters. You know how most people watch the news from the comfort of their... [More]

If You Were a Rich Man . . .

If You Were a Rich Man . . .

Who wishes they were Johnny Depp? Who wishes they were Keira Knightley? Who wishes they would just donate 5 million to your favorite charity - your checking account. I wonder if anybody has ever just walked up to a rich person and just said, "Look, you've got more money than you know what to do with... [More]

Smelly, Rude Winos Who Love Jerry Lewis

About half the time when I sit down to knock these puppies out I really have no idea where I'm going – hopefully it's not completely obvious. In the past the most frequently I had to write this crap was once every two weeks which usually afforded me the opportunity to plan out a topic and figure o... [More]
