Episode 44: Too Early For A Christmas Title...

I've always been a big believer in not counting your chickens before they are hatched. It's the skeptic in me. I don't care if my team is up by fifty runs, goals, points, or whatever the unit of measurement is in Quidditch, I am not confident in a win until 20 minutes after the game is over. In the spirit of that notion, I tell you I'm sitting on a couple of items that if carried out will bring the Mike Minch franchise back to it's winning ways! But that's all I can say now...

Thanks for reading, be sure to share this with.....

I kid, I kid, I have stuff to talk about.

First off, for those of you wondering, "Blackout Wednesday" was more like "Go out on a busy bar night with friends, have some beers, laughs, and return home at a reasonable hour Wednesday." Not even a Brownout Wednesday. Maturity!!!! Alyssa over at Chocolate is my life was hoping for a wild and crazy blog recap filled with stories of me fighting a biker gang, crashing a wedding, setting a Buick on fire. Instead, there's just this photo of some handsome bastards...

"We're not that drunk! We're not that drunk!"

 A funny thing happened last week. You see, I have one of those Twitter accounts (@mrminch) It's a lot like Facebook, only not horrible. I primarily use my account for one liner jokes, and blog promotion. I generally am against using it to try to get celebrities and/or other well known folk to respond or ReTweet. Though I will admit occasionally mentioning Michael Caine in a tweet, because if you're going to whore out your Twitter account, go for the gold standard.

Last week I made a quick joke about the show 1600 Penn. NBC has been running the ads for this for awhile.

I let my inner bitterness over Community being pushed back, and NBC airing The Voice five nights a week get the best of me...

The RT above it is pretty spot on too

 A few hours and Evan Williams/Diet Cokes later I received a response...

from Mike Royce the show runner from 1600 Penn. He took the time to appeal to a smart ass from Upstate New York with a scant 200+ followers. Especially given that if my joke was taken literally, it suggested he should be put to death...(pulls at collar, gulps loudly) So as you can see from my response to him. I have given my word to give the show a shot. Maybe you can too. If more show runners would be willing to personally appeal to me, I would be more willing to watch their shows, except for Big Bang Theory, I'm not going to watch that shit...

Well I'm off to go film a thing with Maslyn, you remember him, he did this...

I'm sworn to secrecy on the nature of the project, but I will say that it may or may not be a shot for shot remake of "Stop or My Mom Will Shoot." 

Hey did you read Episode 43?  How about my Thanksgiving Pop Tart over at Eat Your Serial? Oh yeah, well what are they about? See, I knew it. Go catch up. Thanks for reading.

Oh Mr. Royce, if you actually accepted my invite to read this nonsense, then perhaps I could ask one more minor favor of you. Could you ask Bill Pullman if he actually got to meet Randy Quaid, and if so, what was he like in real life? I have a lot of people over here that want to know. Thanks, and good luck with the show!
