Go the Fuck to Sleep
This morning, Boingboing.com alerted me to an interesting development: a tongue-in-cheek parody of a children’s book called Go the Fuck To Sleep has reached #1 on Amazon.com, before it’s even been published. Apparently pirated PDFs are circulating, and people are preordering it like it’s crack. The publisher has been smart enough to max out the [...]

Thursday, October 21, 2010
[Originally posted at Hey Dullblog] I owe commenter Tony (aka Pismotality) a pint, a kidney or something even more important for bringing this into my life. From the British sketch show “Harry and Paul”: I particularly enjoyed the banter on the bus–somewhere Alun Owen is smiling. And the bit with Lennon and the Germans…”Harry and [...]

…and here’s a nice appreciation by blogger Edward Copeland. Copeland says he’s always shocked at how loose the film feels—how the dramatic elements (Danny and Maggie) seem to be at odds with the comedy; and of course they are. The movie is, to use my wife’s phrase, “a hot mess,” but it’s fantastically watchable. It’s [...]

Sunday, June 27, 2010
This very funny video from UCB.com wrings laughs out of the Gulf oil spill by portraying BP as a bunch of gibbering subnormals. Is it funny? Unquestionably. But they should've taken that next step.

Friday, June 11, 2010
Here’s a pretty good parody of the Doobie Brothers’ “Black Water” by Steve Goodie. The topic? Take a guess. By the way, I looked at several “Downfall” parodies related to the BP oil spill in the Gulf, but none of them seemed quite up to snuff. As well-crafted as Steve’s parody song is, it makes [...]

Jim Emerson in The Chicago Sun-Times has written a column about how disorienting it was to realize that the 17-year-olds at a recent high school graduation did not recognize a reference to the Beatles tune “Drive My Car.” As a result, Emerson wonders whether The Beatles’ days are numbered as a relevant item of our [...]

Tuesday, May 4, 2010
Inspired by an insane Wall Streeter’s whingeing, I was moved to write a Mad-Lib like sayonara to rationality, suitable for any occupation. You can check it out here. As an example, I filled it in for “comedy writers,” the only profession in America less essential than Wall Street.

Monday, May 3, 2010
The Devastator, a new quarterly book of comics and satire, has reached its Kickstarter goal of $4,500! What this means is that the editors, Geoffrey Golden and Amanda Meadows, will receive the pledges and can produce 2,000 copies of their first issue. I met with Geoffrey and Amanda last Monday, and can’t wait to see [...]

For 30 years, Ravin fans wondered: What if Tom Larkin had survived? Now, the story can be told.
Mixing alternative history, hardboiled noir, parody and satire, Life After Death for Beginners is a must-read for every Beatles fan. "A cross between The Rutles and Three Days of the Condor. I loved it."—Jonathan Schwarz
