Tom, Will I be banned if...
« on: September 23, 2010, 03:30:48 PM »
Tom,

Will I be banned if I am one of the 60 guests on SSD next week?  I signed up but then realized the price I might pay...

My allegiance to The Best Show far outweighs my craving for one minute of being ridiculed on stage by Andy, so let me know.

Thanks,
JfM

I think you should, and you should somehow work in a reference to The Best Show. Hell, I think every guest should.

Not a bad idea at all.  Gotta think about how to do that...in a surprise "James James James" kind of way or matter-of-factly while introducing myself.

I'd go for the "Can I say hello to my wife, Sheila Larson?"

I enjoyed it, despite all the boo's you earned.

I knew the boo's would come. It was totally, 100% expected.  That's what happens when you introduce yourself as having the most reviled job in the world!

Pictures up already.  I am guest #24.

As someone else who makes really annoying things for a living (expanding banner internet ads), I actually thought you handled that very well (and was quite funny to boot!)

On an unrelated note, I've been wondering if any other Best Show fans go to those live SSD's.  My job is 2 blocks from there, so I've been at every one for the last year.

I humbly request that the next time I'm on hold with Continental I get "press 7 for Kern Pharmaceuticals, Inc."

MAKE IT SO.

I've never thought about planting a Best Show easter egg in one of my applications!  Genius. I am on that.  There are so many rarely hit prompts in one of our apps, I could probably put the whole list of "things that suck" in there somewhere and no one would know.
