Stop Me or I'll Sing Again

Gosh! November 22nd? Has it been that long?

Honestly. I was taking a little time off. A break to reinvigorate the fertile writing juices flowing through the Vas deferens tubes of my creative humor. Plus I'd been spending some time working closely with the Obama Administration on the Stimulus package until it came to my attention that they didn't really need another humorist.

So. Yesterday I was doing some important research on inflation over at the Betty's Big'uns web page when I received a notice that a 'Brent Diggs' had posted a commentary on my Myspace page.

Since I couldn't recall knowing a Brent Diggs, I initially assumed it was some kind of multi-level marketing scam. I mean, Brent Diggs ha ha! Obviously one of those randomly generated names like Sanjay Gupda that infest my email inbox with headings like "You Plenty Satisfy-Big Kielbasa!"

Well imagine my surprise to find out that Brent Diggs is a fairly consistent 'nom de plume' for the Author of the Ominous Comma! (Personally, I would have thought of a more realistic name, but Brent Diggs does at least have the benefit of being faintly ridiculous.)

Not only did Brent waste a great deal of magnetic ink writing about my absence from the bloggo-sphere, but he even composed a ditty* about me and placed it on Youtube.

*dit'ty (dit'i) n,; A short, often criminally actionable fragment of doggerel with less socially redeeming significance then "We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun." See: Copy right infringement; Peter, Paul and Mary.




Thus proving my contention that a failing economy can best be recognized and tracked by the amount of free time available to humor writers.

Brent. I'm touched. And I'm also pretty sure that THAT is covered under the restraining order.

Nevertheless, in the interest of public safety, I will yield your terrorist extortion and begin to reignite the humor-reading world with swamp-gas-like explosions of written mirth.

This kind of video-musical madness must be stopped. Or we will soon be seeing LOBO doing free-style Rap.

And nobody wants that.
