Congratulations!!! LOL!! I also found it asinine, repugnant, slow witted, derivative, egotistical and anti-semetic. Agian, this is not to say I didn't like it?<BR/><BR/>My advice would be to write a smiliar scene except between a cow and a gang of cats instead of Cheney and Bush.<BR/><BR/>Do you know Animal House or Animal Farm? Like that. Also like Happy Days (the show, not the Beckettt play) and Maverick. and Different Strokes.<BR/><BR/>Keep going but maybe do it in verse!!! Best of Luck!! You'll need it ! HA!

(low-hanging fruit as it were.)<BR/><BR/>best of luck with it though. seriously. my advice would be to hold nothing back and go further than you may think necessary. be as dangerous and raw as you possibly can. push the envelope of taste and absurdity. (I mean fuck, hasn't this baboon-like administration done that already?) because the simple fact is that while what you're attempting is important, how you execute it is obviously even more so, and can negate the entire endeavor if not careful. please refer to aristophanes, shaw, jarry, ionesco, dr. strangelove, network, south park, the chappelle show and arrested development as successful examples of this (pointed political satire.) NOT the wack-ass plays of mac wellman and/or american dreamz.<BR/><BR/>so that's my two cents, and lest this comment be misinterpreted, is not meant disrespectfully at all. (sorry if I sound harsh/like a dick.) keep fighting the good fight, adam. and remember, no one likes to be preached to -- not by christians, not by playwrights (and certainly not by aaron sorkin.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11673928.post-1160680556029739642006-10-12T15:15:00.000-04:002006-10-12T15:15:00.000-04:00Thanks, anonymous. you say the nicest things.Thanks, anonymous. you say the nicest things.Adam Szymkowiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10195622524268234675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11673928.post-1160582982100401922006-10-11T12:09:00.000-04:002006-10-11T12:09:00.000-04:00Better than Stuff Happens.Better than Stuff Happens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
