Woot! Woot! Let the countdown begin, my brothers and sisters! Remember? A short while ago, I mentioned that I’ll be part of the “Pink Slips, You’re Fired” show at the WYSIWYG Talent Show next month, right? Well, I know that I’ve signed on for the event but I don’t know who else is going to be there. So, because I’m nosey a naturally curious person, I take a quick peek at the website to see if there’s any new information.
Yep, they’ve updated the site a bit.
Are my comrades for the evening fellow bloggers who happen to blog Words O’ Goofdom™ from time to time? Heavens, no! The group includes two professional stand-up comedians, a self-professed natural brunette (who has written humor pieces for Vanity Fair, The New York Times, Details & Spin) as well as two other guys who do, well, you know, “stuff”. I’m probably waaay out of my league. And, not to mention, I think my self-esteem took a blow when I noticed that my bio on the site says that I do [and I quote] “blah, blah, blah.” (I think it’s just dummy text used as a placeholder until the site gets updates, but it’s still kinda funny.) Anyway … Dear sweet Buddha with the big fat belly above, somebody provide me with a little bit of moral support. Tell me it’s gonna be okay. I shouldn’t fear the funny guys should I????

So of they invited you to be a part of this they must think that you are f-ing fabulous (which we already know you are) and can totally hold your own. You will be great and I can’t wait to hear all about it and maybe even hear a bit on that web site. You are gonna be great, babe!
p.s. – “blah, blah, blah” is a Seinfeld reference and therefore CANNOT be anything but good. No self-esteem blows, please.
Oh please. You’re going to blow their balls away, I have no doubt about that. :o)
You’re funnier than that first guy. His is the only other blog I skimmed, but you got him beat, hands down. And he’s a “professional” stand-up!
So there.
You. Are. Going. To. Rock. The. House.
Seriously.
Enough said!
I am positive you can hold your own up there, Stolie… you are going to be awesome!
PS – sorry about the recent lack of comments. I was enjoying internetlessness up at a lake for a week – utter relaxation! So I see congrats are in order for getting that job :) Yay!
Apologies for the “screaming,” but…YOU’RE GONNA DO GREAT! Seriously! Those folks ain’t got nuthin’ on you! I can’t wait!
Okay, let me tell you that as a “professional” comedian most other “comedians” are not comedic at all. I used to be in awe of those who have had some success, but now realize that a lot of them are “on” constantly and just not that funny due to their own indefinately fucked-up self-esteem issues.
In fact, a lot of them remind me of used car salesmen. Oy!
So as a comedian, I can tell you that you are natually and honestly funny. Something that will take you further than anyone with an ‘act’.
You, Stolie, are going to be great.
You won’t please everyone, but you will please the important ones.
(I’m totally using that as a mantra.)
Fear not my fellow funky brownie, you are going to kick some major arse. Everyone else “appear” to be kool only cause of the duck syndrome… you know.. kool and calm on the top, but paddling like crazy downunder..
P-lease. You’ll be great. You know it. I know it. All your other friends, I mean, readers, I mean, friends know it.
I’m with everyone else here. I think you’ll bring the house down. Enjoy yourself!
MamaChristy: THANKS! :)
AmyD: I hope so. And, you’re right, they all have balls. I’m the only woman on the ticket for the evening. I think I’ll wear a dress. :)
Sid: THANKS, lady!!! :)
Mitch: I hope you’re right.
kypris: Oooooh, time at the lake??? That sounds GREAT! I haven’t really left Manhattan since late January / early February. I think I need a break.
Bro the First: YOU BETTER BE THERE!!! Keep that day free on your calendar.
Howard: I ***LOVE*** your mantra. Not just for this, but for life in general.
momok: Duck syndrome. Funny!
Pegs: I hope so. This is the first time that I’ve ever done anything like this. I hope they do the video thing so that I can share it with everyone.
Nics: Awww, thanks!!
Yeah, you’re out of your mind. You killed last night. I don’t buy any of your crap about not ever performing, either. Enough lies, Stolie! America deserves the truth!!
THANKS!!! You, of course, rocked too!!! :)
And, by the way, I *swear* it was my first time ever doing any kind of public performance like that. It was a blast and I’ll probably do something of the sort again in the future.
