Every year at the local haunted maze the same jerk dressed as Freddy Krueger likes to single me out and scare me over and over and humiliate me in front of my kids but this year is going to be different as I lost custody of my kids

Just got out of a screening of Oldboy. As I was walking to the parking garage the couple behind me, who were silent for most of the walk, finally spoke. WOMAN: That wasn’t the greatest choice for a first date movie. GUY: Yeah, I realize that now.

I never give writing advice but there are many clues here as to why this person is a failed screenwriter, if it helps.

In 1993, while studying abroad in Holland, two girls tried to have a three-way with me in my room, but because I’ve never had any self esteem I didn’t realize it until 2 weeks ago and when I did, I stopped folding laundry and said, FUCK. Almost 30 years later.

When I started staffing on tv shows the first big surprise was how writers were treated. The directors/actors were always put on pedestals while the people providing the material were the dogs. Still makes no sense. This strike is a very good public display of all that.
