Here is to Kirk! Yay Kirk!

Kirk came over, rotated a futon 90 degrees, and then returned to other pressing matters.

The "hiding bodies" bit is over-rated. Friends move furniture, even when their own lives are pretty busy.

Thanks Kirk!

Oh, Sunday Morning already. Weekends where I have a lot of office work to catch up on make me long for a few months off more than ever.

Advice of the Moment
"How, for example, could I make a fat lady, walking down Fifth Avenue, slip on a banana peel and still get a laugh. It's been done a million times. What's the best way to get the laugh? Do I show first the banana peel, than the fat lady approaching: then she slips? Or do I show the fat lady first, then the banana peel, and then she slips?"
"Neither. You show the fat lady approaching; then you show the fat lady approaching; then you show the banana peel; then you show the fat lady and the banana peel together; then she steps over the banana peel and disappears down a manhole."
Playwright Charles MacArthur seeking advice from Charlie Chaplin.
Video of the Moment

--"Model to Billboard" is a longer road than you might have thought. It's odd that this kind of manipulation doesn't set off our "fake" detectors; sometimes I think we're not much different than that one kind of fish I read about, where researchers were easily able to make a fake fish that was "sexier" to the guy fishes than any real femal fish, even though it was just kind of a parody of color and fins.
