i was stunned into blessed silence honored to discover that renal failure – the man who makes Trent Lott funnier than he is in real life – made me the newest inductee in the Renal Failure Trent Lott Posse.
If you don’t get your daily dialysis, i highly recommend a visit. RF’s got something very different going on. i was hooked after just a couple of visits to Mr. Failure’s neighborhood – where he chronicles the exploits of Avonia the Wiccan Pimp, Bernie the Half-Cyborg Cat, Mercury Shadow & Crimson Paraplegic (superheroes, of course…) as well as my homey T Lott.
Awhile back, he also tagged invited me to share nuggets of wisdom regarding how to write funny shit on a blog. Not a meme – but a writing challenge – launched by Brent as a means to increase traffic on his sitepush the envelope of the laughable arts. But i’m kinda lazy, and have no idea how to write funny shit… i write about my family, my colleagues, my poorly-reared children… right… oh, yeah… i got nothin’…
Ok. I’ll wait for you to close all those link windows that you dutifully opened in order to fully comprehend just what the fuck this post is going to be about. [taps foot. looks at watch. sighs in annoyance.]
If i were going to share a wisdom nugget regarding writing funny shit? Don’t spend an hour crafting an opening paragraph full of links to people who are funnier than you can ever hope to be thereby setting your readers expectations far too high…
Um… yeah… What was i doing?
T Lott Posse. Right! i have not yet pasted my posse bumper sticker on my trailer, but will do so once i figure out how to hang it on the widget bar. In the meantime, i’m bustin’ out a forty and going back to cleanin’ the crib. Gonna need to get myself moved to the new party palace – so i can throw down proper in honor of my man, T Lott…
