For over four years, I have been writing a variety of things for this website. Today, during our KCOW 4th of July music marathon, one of the sponsors was Wentyworld.com! I created two “commercials” for my humble little blog and they sound like this:
Kudos to Herr Kroheim von Plugheim for helping me with these spots. And on the off chance that somebody heard the commercials and is curious enough to check in, I thought I might spotlight some of my favorite posts.
Talking To A Righteous Brother. My interview with Bill Medley.
The French Fry Manifesto. It’s about french fries, you see.
Walter Matthau In A Pimp Hat: My Weekend With “Earthquake”. The original theatrical film just wasn’t enough for NBC, so they paid to film a bunch of extra footage with a frequent “Match Game” panelist.
Think Positive! (I’m Positive 84% of Facebook Comments Are Awful) Once in a while I get my hackles up when I see people behaving poorly.
Cheer Up Sleepy Jean: My Phone Call With Davy Jones One of my favorite interviews. “It’s not that we’re short, Jason, it’s that everybody else is so bloody tall!”
Hot Dog and Wenty Ride The Choo-Choo. Yes, I really did take Bob S. Bestos’ pet pig Hot Dog with me on a trip to Chicago in 2017 or so. Not everybody likes Hot Dog. I think he’s the bees knees.
A Warm Happy Place. This has to do with something my mother wrote to me in a card before she left for cancer treatments in Buffalo, NY.
Necco Wafers Are Back! Finally, Something Stupid To Write About I can’t believe people eat these things voluntarily.
Dick Van Dyke In The Most Depressing Film Ever Made. It’s about a comedian, naturally.
Henry Box Brown and his Savior, Huckleberry Hound A lot of what I write here is about radio. I’m a fan of radio in equal or greater measure than I am a creator of it.
“Bubble Does Vegas: A Short Story By A Short Author”. My fantasy of getting out of my apartment during the peak of COVID.
Sears Radio Theatre Presents “Eleven Oxen For Brother Kalin” Another COVID-era thing, I wrote this as a radio script and Dangerous Dave and I ended up recording it as an episode of our web radio series “Tales From The Inner Sanctum.”
BOOK REVIEW: “The Total FIlmmaker” as told to Jerry Lewis’ ego by Jerry Lewis.
Alan And Henry (Or, The Two Faces Of Fred) Flintstone that is.
Krohe, Wenty and the Butler Bear: A Short (But Sweet) Story. I have this tendency to take stupid jokes and stretch them to their limit. If that isn’t what a blog is for, then I don’t know what is!
Donkey-Maggedon They’re miserable, large, violent creatures. “Shrek” lied to us all.
So there’s a fairly decent sample of what I write about. But wait! There’s more! Like my long-running series “Happy Days Epics”, and my reviews of Hitchcock films, Jack Benny television specials and the like.
To all who come to this nerdy place…Welcome! Wentyworld is your world!
