It's not a style, IMO, that works well in feature-length form, a point that might also apply to fiction. Short stories can get away with extreme or experimental styles and tones that would grate on a reader's nerves after 10K words.Jerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986567025249948237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291165.post-1144812339850007952006-04-11T22:25:00.000-05:002006-04-11T22:25:00.000-05:00Jeri:You're married too?Darn it.Aren't there any s...Jeri:<BR/><BR/>You're married too?<BR/><BR/>Darn it.<BR/><BR/>Aren't there any single gals out there who would appreciate a guy with a wry sense of humor (if you think PULP FICTION is the funniest thing you ever saw, then you're the one).<BR/><BR/>I'm better-looking than any of the Stooges (don't get any ideas, Joe), yet not unapproachable-good-looking like Barry.<BR/><BR/>And I was only kidding about that Homer Simpson stuff.<BR/><BR/>Really.<BR/><BR/>I try hard to limit my sodium intake.Jude Hardinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09994813046526310594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291165.post-1144809028020327382006-04-11T21:30:00.000-05:002006-04-11T21:30:00.000-05:00Anon:Don't you know that Homer Simpson is everyman...Anon:<BR/><BR/>Don't you know that Homer Simpson is everyman?
