i've been away . . .

[peter johnson]

well, it's nice that many of you took some time to note my return to the board.  too many things/reasons to go into here, but it is good to know that my absence was noted.  a good reason i've been away is that i've been getting lots of acting stuff, most pertinently to this page would be my part in a denver-produced bizzaro indie called "punk world", playing the part of the fool.  i actually expect to see this thing get distribution, despite its zero budget, because the director is a driven pitbull.
the broken hand stems from a dispute involving the lack of publicity given to one of the half-dozen stage shows i've been doing out herein the denver area i hit a wall instead of a producer.  i am thus not in prison.
those of you in the atlanta, georgia, area please watch for me in 5 brand new tv commercials for montlick & associates law firm.  i play the same amoral prick insurance adjuster in each one --- any of these spots should qualify for inclusion here.
andrew, that was a great story re. crabball(new olympic sport?).  i promise to forward a punkworld tape to you if we ever wrap -- no, WHEN we wrap -- on it.
again, how very nice of you all to note my absence.  wonderful to be missed.
now, more pertinently, i recently acquired a georgeous copy of  william castle's "house on haunted hill" -- it reeks!!  it is absolutely wnderfully joyously awful -- see it see it see it!!!
much love to all --

Yeah, but the wall is in therepy dealing with victimization trauma and may never play the piano again

Welcome back, PJ! I agree on HoHH-- Not quite as awesomely insane as The Tingler, but still a great little spookshow from the Budget Hitchcock himself.

Oh, yeah, and I thought you might like to know that the Demons of Stupidity's third album, "The Demons of Stupidity Radio Hour," is out. We think it might be our best yet; The sketches are tighter, and we paid more attention to the mixing (and, to keep this post somewhat on-topic to the board, it's got a four-minute rock opera about Tor Johnson!). If you're interested, send me an e-mail; The CD's $10, like the last one.

Glad to have you back!

Peter, I have some good pointers here, because putting a hole in a wall is impressive to onlookers.

Yell and scream before throwing the punch.
Pivot on your feet and throw your hip behind it.
Use the strong rear hand.
Make sure the wall is sheetrock and try not to hit a stud.
Do not punch cinderblock walls (see above).

>Make sure the wall is sheetrock and try not to hit a stud.

 My father put a hole in a thick plaster wall once. Messed up his hand, but the hole was fairly impressive.

Glad to hear from ya, future star! Also, Vermin boy, how do we get the demons of stupidity? Inquireing minds want to know!

[peter johnson]

yes -- i must have the new demons cd!  don't forget i was to do a blurb or something -- a liner note?-- for an upcoming demons thing -- maybe if i rave about the tor musical, you can use that.
andrew:  your wall  points are well-taken.  i did it all wrong.  have you heard vermin's tor musical yet?
