30 Days and 30 Blogs: Day 23

For those of you who don’t know, I’m a regular contributor to Kougarmagazine.com It’s a site by and for sexy, sophisticated, self-reliant women and the men who love them. I really like the idea of championing the notion that age is just a number and if you’re motivated, you can do whatever you want. SO in addition to my comedy bits, there are all sorts of helpful articles on fashion, health, business, etc.

Well for the fall issue, I was asked to come up with the top 10 worst ideas for a Halloween costume. I decided to do it in de-motivational poster form. Most of them turned out pretty well except for one…

You see, I put this list together in mid August. So there was one joke that stopped being funny by the time the issue went on-line. In fact if you view the list now, you will notice that #8 is a fairly recent reference compared to the others. That’s because I had to create an emergency replacement for the original #8 which was this:

Now you can see how that was funny a few years ago when there was a possibility that Swayze might pull though and come out on top. Sadly, as we have mentioned in previous blogs and on the show, Mr Swayze passed away. So the answer to the picture’s question is, “yes.”

I’m not sure why I felt it was okay to make jokes about him on stage after he died but I felt this photo was over the line…but that’s how I see it. I guess that post death, this picture feels more like an insult, whereas my jokes on stage feel like jokes. I dunno where my “line” is. It moves all the time. But I just thought I’d share a bit of the behind the scenes process with you folks.
