You Will Have Swamp-Ass
So today is going to be a Swamp-Ass Labor Day. Glad I am sitting in a nice air-conditioned room with a desk and a computer.
Since I’ve been working 10-hour days, it’s been nice but difficult. Three-day weekends are nice. But by the end of day three, you feel like a lump. So last night I said FERGET IT. I did not make a breakfast shake. I did not pack additional breakfast nums. I took some screen time. I listened to the Lovesexy album. I ate an Aaron Burrito from the freezer.
Then I woke up this morning and realized the cafe here would not be open today. Oh, well. Nothing like a quick rip through the McDucky’s drive-through. Had to run a stupid red light not to be late.
Oh, well.
Hey. Here’s a nicely written piece of media criticism. Seriously, you should read it:

The Corpsing Masters
I didn’t know it was a thing until I read about it on The Blue: Corpsing.
That would be what happens when you are a cast member and one of your fellow players forces you to break character and laugh. As defined: “Corpsing is a British theatrical slang word for when an actor unintentionally breaks character during a scene by laughing or by causing another cast member to laugh.”
A compilation of these instances on Saturday Night Live has recently been circulated.
However, I say that an earlier generation of sketch actors makes these guys look like pikers when it comes to corpsing. Here’s an example.
Apparently this incident was pretty legendary. Vicki Lawrence tells the story:
