BLURB: Christmas In Linken Park Chicago

A very soulful and satirical version of the classic: “A Christmas Carol.” Narrated by a pair of jive-talking “Dozens” Players named Madd and Dog2020 aka Maddog2020. Even if you don’t like Christmas, you will love these characters. They introduce Ebenezer Jenkins the miser who owns Glad Wrappings Funeral Home and Barbecue joint where it’s likely you’ll enjoy your uncle’s ribs after he kicks the bucket.

Jenkins, of course, hates Christmas and giving to charity. He schemes with a midget who goes around attempting to clunk men upside the head and cause their demise. But being a midget he can only reach so far which earns him a dubious name and causes his victims much pain.

Oh, please, tell me more about the midget.

Yaggle Yoogle Yankeedoodle Part I Abridged
Screenplay

aka YYYPartIA

Released to mark 10 years since Lehman Brothers became the world’s biggest bankruptcy, on befalling the 08 financial crisis which this screenplay explores among much else.

This unillustrated version of the screenplay invites the reader to visualize words thru mind’s eye alone, impelling imagination maybe more vivid than pictorially prescribed via author, ultimately an added visual afterthought less important than what surely writ.

Nonetheless, most readers would no doubt prefer an illustrated version against this pure driven writer’s writers version.

More info about this screenplay can be found at YYYPartIA PicSetA product page.

I really have nothing to add.

BLURB: Christianity: A Successful Failure: Finding Faith in an Age of Fear and Falsehood

A fantastic book that is perhaps the best exposé ever written on the world’s largest and most popular religion (approximately 2.5 billion adherents) from an ‘insider’ who participated in Christianity for many years. You can search far and wide and you will not find a better book on what Christianity is, why it is a successful failure, and why it’s being a successful failure should be of urgent interest to you and those you care about.

Apparently, being an “insider” for many years didn’t teach him humility.
