How does one end up the Red Zone Channel dude?





The Men's Warehouse three-button suits, the generally looking like the guy that sees the monster behind Winkie's in Mulholland Drive who goes on to be the surly comedian guy on Mad Men...how did this guy end up here?

My first instinct says "Contest!" but maybe it was like working at UPS, where he was a cable installer and worked his way up to management and then he got a call telling him he had to be Red Zone Channel Dude.

Also, going to Lions/Vikings in Detroit next week! No, really.

So, if we did not have the baby,




I could do stuff like: write a musical ABOUT the people to whom Bowie just refused permission to use songs from Heroes for a musical. At. No, no, syntax problems. Trying again. Someone wanted to make a musical using the songs from Heroes (that second act of instrumentals like "Neukoln" woulda been a barnburner!). Bowie said no! Now, Bowie, as you know, was refused permission by Orwell's widow to make a stage doodad of 1984 and so took the intended songs from that to make Diamond Dogs.


So, what I need to do is write a musical about the people who wanted to make the Heroes musical. Songs can include: "I Got Your Cassette from the Library," "RCA Days," "What Was With (Those Tommy Hilfiger Ads)?" and, for when, at close of Act II, Orwell appears like the Angel from Angels in America above DB's bed, "David? S'me, Eric."



As I say, this has to get done, but I've got this baby.





And don't you dare say it's laziness on my part! Just look at that post-count!

Did NOT expect to wake up to this!
