The tip jar remains at your left

Nibbles McGee...

Though Joe's recent posts about Israel-Palestine have brought back some of our notorious crazies, other readers' comments have been thoughtful and informative. To those readers, I encourage you to consider donating to the site. It's gonna be a while yet before Joe's movie enters pre-production and he needs to eat something besides Taco Bell until then.

I left what I thought was a thoughtful, informative, and questioning comment about 3 posts down. It did not pass moderation evidently because it never showed up.

So now you money.

I am 'outta here.

Taco Bell? He can afford TACO BELL??

What an elitist... ;-)

I'm eating a lot of (homecooked) rice n beans n pasta these days myself, but I'll drop some coin in the bucket as soon as I can.

Also, Joe has a movie about to go into pre-production? Are you serious? If so, I'm waaaay impressed.

I'm broke and fundraising myself right now (unexpected financial fiasco), but I will definitely drop a tip when I get paid in a couple of weeks. Wish I could do more now.

bert, I don't recall deleting a comment by you. It might have happened by accident. That also happens in reverse -- which is why you sometimes see comments by crazy people get through.

Joe is making a movie?? :)
Way cool. Now I can name drop..."Joe and I go waaay back" or, "I was his inspiration", maybe "Oh, I always knew he had the talent and I encouraged him"....seriously though, press on. We love ya!!!

Please do not eat Taco Bell. I had a neice work there and she told me the beef says Grade D. What is Grade D beef anyhow?

I'm not making a movie. I've written quite a few scripts, and several of them went on to festoon some of the finest round files in town. On only one occasion did I contribute dialogue to a film that was actually shot. The story is unimpressive but (perhaps) amusing, and so I may tell it one day.

Joe is such a liar. His movie is going to be great.

Joe, there's a rumor going around that it's the long-anticipated musical version of "Turds in Hell":
Orgone the hunchback, pinhead, priapic sex maniac hero of this experimental epic re-enacts the classic tale of the search for a lost parent, traversing the worlds of angels, saints, devils, gamblers, gypsies, monks, nuns, and whores before being reunited with his mother, Turzahnelle, having encountered such colorful characters as Carla, the Gypsy Wildcat, Baron Bubbles in the Bathtub, Turtle Woman, Saint Frigid, and Saint Obnoxious along the way. High comedy, low comedy, classical rhetoric, and sublime poetry mix to produce an idiosyncratic and hilarious view of contemporary sexual mores. A sublime and liberating theatrical experience for the daring and demanding."

PSSST! Uh, hey Joe. I've been a dramatic artist for over...well, a long time and I once played Cousin Lyman in "Ballad of the Sad Cafe," so methinks the hunchback part would be a cakewalk. Whaddayasay Joe? Can ya' put in a word for me?
