Ferris and Riley seem to think that the best place to play (and by play I mean wrestle, with the snarling and the barking and the jumping and the flaven) is immediately underneath my desk.
Unless I walk to the kitchen to refill my coffee. In that case, the best place to play is running tight circles around my legs. I guess there are bonus points if they knock me down.
So the big news in my life is the stunning success of Dancing Barefoot. Since Thursday, when we took the Monolith Press website live, we’ve had over 10,000 unique visitors, and I’ve taken orders for over 200 books! 200 books in four days, man! Without any real advertising beyond the Internet! How cool is that?

Happy Fun Pundit weighs in with the Top Ten Things I Hate About Star Trek.
I haven’t laughed this hard in days. It’s like a Friar’s roast of Trek.

If this list makes you laugh, I know for a fact that you’ll enjoy my friend Karl’s band Warp 11.

It is my first effort.
I wish you would like it.

If you give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, they say, those monkeys will churn out something great, like Shakespeare.
If you give 50,000 monkeys at 50,000 typewriters enough time, they won’t get anything done, because they’ll be too busy reading WWdN!
But!
I have read at Fark, (and gotten about 600 e-mails about) what happens when you put 6 monkeys at one computer. (Hint: they put about as much effort into creating something great as the people behind “The Bachelor.”)
So I watched the ABC show last night. At first, when they announced, “Coming up next . . . your favorite stars from Reality TV and CHARO!” I thought that I was totally screwed.
I mean, I’m not exactly “A” list . . . or “B” list . . . or, really, on the list at all right now.
But I can claw my way back, if I want to, you know? When I saw that . . . well, let’s just say my stomach tightened and my palms began to sweat. The “has-been” voice screamed in my head, as it so often does.
When the segment came on, though, I was really pleased. I thought I photographed well (you totally have to stare to see my awesome double chin) and I thought I came off very well.
Though I wondered if “I’ve written a book,” has become the 2000 equivlent of the 1970s “I’m in a band.”
Heh.
Guess who got confirmation of his Trogdor shirt shipping today?
Oh yeah!
Have a great weekend, everybody.

This could be a hoax, but it’s great reading regardless.
Check it out if you have several hours to kill.
And don’t forget to catch me if you can, tonight on ABC’s “Our Favorite Stars, Then and Now.” I guess it’s on at 8 p.m., but you should check your local listings to be sure.
