"The ’00s will likely be remembered as the era “alternative comedy” broke. After the boom and bust of stand-up in the ’80s and the distinctly Seinfeld-ian ’90s, a new generation of smartasses arrived to stretch the limits and help redefine it."

WOULD YOU LIKE MAIL FROM CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA?? Since I am writing both PEA and DERRICK back, I would gladly send you something, too... no matter where you live. DM me your address, and our POSTAL DAWGS will deliver to your door.

evet @Can, Brent ve ben, oturduğumuz yerdeki yöresel yiyecekleri postaladık birbirimize. şimdi de bu fikir çıktı ortaya :) (talking about our posting some traditional foods with Brent)

@parfe, you mean postcards or real food? can't imagine sending zeytinyağlı dolma abroad :D
- Can Mert Bozkurt
"POSTAL DAWGS will deliver to your door." + pic <--- priceless :)
- Micah Wittman
sorry Brent, regular posting is very slow :) I hope a postman doesn't eat them :D @Can, dolma is not a suitable food for posting :) but a small box turkish delight or turkish coffe is suitable :) isn't it?
- Parfe
@parfe, ah, i see your point.
- Can Mert Bozkurt
@Can, If u want sending some "zeytinyağlı dolma", don't hesitate to send it to me :D we are very close I think ^^
- Parfe
@parfe, i'm not sure i would do that, after you calling me cross-eyed :|
- Can Mert Bozkurt

- Can Mert Bozkurt
@parfe, maybe i could think of cooking something for you for a ek$i summit ^^
- Can Mert Bozkurt
@Chun, I will think on it :P u will cook a hamburger, I think.

I love getting snail mail. It's a dying art. I actually write letters to my grandma because she'd rather receive paper mail than electronic mail.
- Cassandra
If you want to get snail mail from around the world, try Postcrossing at postcrossing.com. Send a postcard out, get one back from elsewhere in the world!
- Great Scott!

Me, I'm still filling in plot holes, so I'm still taking part in word wars till my novel's finished. Then I can consider doing the sequel for NaNoFiMo...if, that is, my '07 NaNo, up for its 3rd FiMo, doesn't hijack it...
- Dennis Jernberg

At least you're not stagnating like I am, lacking inspiration at the moment, blocked at 21,100 words... or so.
- Richard A.
Richard: sorry to hear it. I was stagnating, too, until I tried one of NaNo's suggestions: write the fun bits. My novel no longer resembles a novel, but I'm back to having fun and (slowly) increasing my word count. :)
- T. Brent, technopeasant
It's a pain to have a project due at the same time as Nanowrimo, means that I can't focus as easily on the writing as I did last year.

She had more hair when we last worked together... lol

One of those things: we did Oscar Wilde together, we appeared in cabarets together, and did voice work on the same video games together... then, her career rocketed!

Much deserved, too... she is insanely brilliant.

already, it's much funnier than the film... and, though I can be brought to like Brad Pitt from time to time, he can be a pretty hollow actor.
