Wow! Knocked me out. The economy of word and crispness of prose was awesome. What I particularly liked is how your diction emphasized the theme of the piece. It took me back to that old song, “I got plenty of nothin’ and nothin’s plenty for me.” This is–and will remain– a classic storyteller’s piece.

Dear Frank and Brian –
And the moral of the story is…
EMPTY JOKE = MODERN ART!!!
Or, at least, that was my “dream effect”.
I was really bummed when Blogger didn’t give me the full page of blank space I wanted for this “essay”. Essentially, that ruined my whole shitty joke.
But the real truth is: I honestly dipped into the well, and there was NUTHIN’ THERE.
So rather than just go blah blah blah, I gave you this literary nouvelle cuisine: VAPOR A LA SKIPP!
Again: SORRY, EVERYBODY!
Yer pal,
Skipp

Is this a clever commentary on the emptiness and futility of modern day publishing?
Very deep!
