My Gagrifice
Hey All!
I just thought I'd let you know that I did NOT take the exciting new job offered to me today because it might have meant leaving Gag Reflex. That's right. I made the ultimate sacrifice and put sketch comedy before career opportunity.
I just hope I made the right decision. I've heard rumors of pending layoffs under that old "publish or perish" clause in our contracts. And although I technically have more seniority than the other newbies around here, I think my approval rating might be slipping since I only managed to bring in 4 audience members for the last round of Gag gigs. So I've secretly promised a tax break to everyone who tells the box office attendant that they came to see ME on-stage this weekend. I mean, there are still 43% of surveyed Americans who approve of the job "W" is doing according to this week's poll results. And I'm WAY funnier than that guy.
Wish me luck gaining audience leverage!
P.S. Yes, that means you're all stuck with me for at least a while longer. Unless you're willing to sweeten the deal they offered me at the competitor to get rid of me.

I'm confused. Were you offered a new position by a rival sketch group? Has "The Caucasian Comedy Explosion" been recruiting again?? Those bastards.
The Caucasian Comedy Explosion... sounds like something that happened in the 80's and early 90's when everyone thought stand-up comedians were the best thing ever and opened hoardes of comedy clubs and sitcoms that showcased "funny" non-actors. Or amusing white people forced to eat too many gas-inducing foods and then locked in a room with hidden camera to capture the ensuing hilarity.
No, the CCE did not recruit me. Although I did see some comedy group calling themseleves "The Feisty Pirates" is holding auditions soon. And what the hell is so funny about pirates? Feisty ones, at that?
But I digress. I meant my day job's competitor. Oh, never mind. The point was, you can't get rid of me. So there.
