Words from just another pretty reporter, comic and subversive

Rescuing the “Office Space Nation”


Since I’m shy, I thought joining Meetup.com might help.  Here’s how I introduced my coy self:

Mark is “The Entertainer” . . . just another Eagle Scout pretty face recovering mortgage broker stand-up comedian, writer and screen actor. Oblivious to the fate of Socrates, he loves to seduce and free the passion within the Office Space Nation.

Yeah world, I just coined “Office Space Nation”.  And I shaved today.  My face.

My mission, and I choose to accept it, is to free the Office Space Nation.  Yeah, I’m starting a movement, nearly religious in nature.  But not to worry.  We’ll be drinking the Kool-Aid out of cups made from recycled TPS reports.  Yeah.

You may belong to the Office Space Nation if the passion in your life involves choosing a Hawaian shirt to wear to the office on Friday.  Know how to clear a printer paper jam?  Report to one or more bosses?  Think “therapy”, hypnotic or otherwise, will make your “occupation” better?  Does your retirement plan require your hospitalization after the random act of a drunk driver?  My name is Mark, and I am here to help.  No, I don’t know much about carpentry . . . and who is “Peter”?

When Tony Robbins Has Hair Red as the Tiger . . . He Gives Hope a Chance


Not too sure about that audition?  Have you been waiting a few years for the “night” in overnight success to end?  Well, as Monty Python would remind us, “Always Look on the Bright Side of . . . Death”.  Here’s some Tony Robbins for actors and writers who might be having a bad day.

The 75-25 Rule for Social Networkers


Flock is “the essential browser for the most active 25% of users”.  Perhaps I shall try it . . . I’d hate to be in the majority.

The Nieces of Robin William’s Chest Hair Should Not Even Be See


Apparently some ladies never got the memo, the evidence of which is staring me like Medusa at an East Bay Starbucks as I painful type this desperately necessary missive.  When you wear the sexy butt floss from Victoria’s Secret,  what delightful peek-a-boo north of where your jeans crest and south of where the the proud floss flies at full feminine mast should be bare flesh, not the nieces of Robin William’s chest hair.  I know I’ve just torpedoed any chance at an Ambassadorship to Kabul, but somehow the “sex” is “sexy” is lost with such wispy, furry rear cleavage, leaving one with a lonely but unavoidable “y”.  WHY?!?!?  Although I must say, such disturbing sights might provide a useful tool for us in group . . . you know, the 12 step program to remain a single guy.

Straight Will Delights Like Cheetos


Loved much of the SNL season finale the other night, and the Celebrity Jeopardy revisited was a particular delight.  I loved the physical comedy of Tom Hanks, especially the “microphone” pen and the headbutt of his lecturn.  Will Ferrell’s long-suffering straight man pitted against Darrell Hammond’s Sean Connery ranks up there with Cheetos as a guilty pleasure hard to resist.  Yeah, straight man.  For those who remember Tom Hanks in Philadelphia more than Punchline, “straight” means Alex Trebek doesn’t do drugs.  UmkayWho’s on first?
