YRU-Up, One Man's View Back for Another Year 9/12/99

Lost his humor?

Well folks, I’ve been on break all summer, but I guess it’s time to get back to work on some funny stuff. I wish I could say that I came up with all kinds of great ideas for ya, but I haven’t. Creative slump you say? That’s not very nice. You try running a demanding, yet highly poplar website sometime. It’s quite difficult. What with all the fan mail to respond to, and the press hounding you all the time for interviews. Those Access Hollywood people just won’t leave me alone. I told them I just don’t do interviews without cash up front.

Why just the other day I was hanging around the YRU-Up offices, about to write an hilarious piece for the site when the phone rang. It was none other then the producers for the Tonight Show. They said they quickly needed someone to fill the illustrious third guest slot that night. The Wyoming State pig-farming champion had canceled on them at the last moment. I told them to shove it because I owed it to my fans to write another hilarious piece for them. Well, they seemed shattered and said I was banned from ever coming on the show. But I didn’t care. The fans come first in my eyes. Unfortunately the call had ruined my train of thought. I was forced to spend the rest of the day at the beach. Though my tan benefited, the public did not. So once more, I sit down to write something wonderful. This time though, I am less then inspired. Perhaps this dog eat dog world has finally got me down. Is there nothing funny left in this husk of a man? I dare not say, it is too soon to speak. Maybe if I go to the beach again tomorrow, something funny there will bring the humor back to me. Maybe a man will hurt himself surfing, and I can laugh myself stupid at his expense. Oh wouldn’t that be a sight to see? And then I can come back the office, a new man. Full of youth and/or vigor

Well, I guess we’ll all have to wait and see. Until then, don’t forget to laugh once and a while.
