I just finished reading your post, "How much is that dildo in the window," and upon landing on THIS post, seeing the Russian nesting dolls, my first thought is how "conveniently shaped" those dolls are, and how one might or could use them for "otherwise connubial purposes." <i>I'm just sayin'...</i> Just as an aside…

I've got my own opinions about CAA (shark tank) but they do have an amazing client list, feh. I love how the world works like this, that you’d see that agent just when you were talking about him.

And I totally died at the image of you bug-eyed and squeamish as the CAA guy marches past your SUV and your flamboyant passenger. In return for the laugh, I give you three (lame) lines to break the ice when you contact the CAA guy: 1. "Saw you at the AIDS Walk! Sorry I couldn't join you but I had to take my cross-dressing, chain-smoking, Grandpa to a support meeting. He's trying to give up fur and cigarettes...Now wouldn't that make a great opening scene in a sitcom. Speaking of which, check out this proposal...." 2. "I saw you at the AIDS Walk! My Prius battery died, and I had to borrow my grandmother's SUV to get there. I was so bummed when I arrived too late to walk with the Sierra Club." 3. "Saw you at the AIDS Walk! Yeah, that was me in the SUV--belongs to the caterers. I had to go along with them to pick up VODKA and CIGARETTES for the after walk party. I really need to get on the food committee next year and get them all straightened out." I gotta love a woman who goes to a vegetable market and comes home with vodka and cigarettes.

Call it the BIN Walk (Bloggers in Need) Write the PR kit, design the flyers, put together the media campaign and bring together bloggers like yourself...bloggers whose onscreen writing has taken over their everyday lives. So much so, that they can't make a living. Charge bloggers to sign up and walk, have them get sponsors and you get a big chunk of the funds and share the rest with Bloggers in Need.

Each time, your voice mocks me. I don't have an agent okay? You don't have to rub it in. No, I don't want a hug. Just let me work through my envy in my own way.

I'm willing to bet those agents weren't looking at you with disdain. It was ENVY. They were thinking, damn, how did that guy end up with so much great material?
