The Dregs #52

Let's see... I reached back into my old book of ideas and pulled out this pearl. Originally, the joke was someone saying, "Are we going to do a shot before we go?" Someone else would then reply, "We'd better. You're driving." Not funny and I don't remember why I thought it was in the first place, let alone why I decided to write it down and save it for later. I was, and hopefully you agree with my use of past tense here, very good at writing confusing dialogue.Thankfully, I've been getting better at not doing that anymore. But I welcome the challenge of going back through these bad joke ideas and doing something with them after having given up on them years ago. It's fun reading the original ideas and saying to myself, "what was I thinking?" Hopefully, you're finding the effort worthwhile too.

I'm sure you've all noticed the addition of the title to the new format. I think it'll give each edition a more professional look and, once I come up with a signature font to use for it, I'll replace the one I'll be using for the time being.

Cheers.

The Dregs #51

This episode was just finished (3/16/11). A friend of mine had just gotten back from Florida and I instantly thought of those awfully funny "... and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" t-shirts people get, or used to get, and tried to make a joke about it. It just seemed to fit, but I thought it was time Peg got zinged instead of Sal and/or Onions. And there you have it.

Cheers.
