Hi.
So I’ve started patient-acting. My first assignment is going to be back pain.
I’m back pain.
Some people thought I was a pain in the neck or the rear but I’m not.
Also my busking is going well.
Today I played drums on the street with a guitarist and made some decent money while having fun. It was great.
That project/experiment is evolving nicely. Big plans for that are taking shape.
I also got a lead on an outdoor market that might be good for ButterSword. We’ve tried outdoor markets before with not much success, but this one might be cool because you can split your 10 X 10 space and it costs less. Also you can get a space for the day and not just the whole darn year.
And now I’m off to get caught up on my comic reading. Your comic!



















At 1st glance I thought the 1st panel was a young Jenn then I realised it was you with long hair. The drumstick to the singer’s head woulda been a good Funniest Home Videos moment. Jimmy Fargle sounds like a hoot!!!
It was me! I had awesome hair until it fell out but I don’t care that it fell out. I wish the drumstick had been filmed. I’ll have to think of another Jimmy Fargle! Thanks Tony!
So if you are a pain in the back does that just mean that you are actually both a pain in the butt and in the neck but the other person can’t really tell where the pain is coming from?
Nope! According to the script the pain doesn’t radiate.
My wife proofreads the medical licensing exam for doctors, she’s mentioned the patient acting thing… I often wondered how someone gets that gig!
Quite by accident in my case.
I neglected to read the ad correctly. They were looking for pregnant women and I showed up.
I bet that singer didn’t laugh.
Do you have to have patience to patient act? Throw them a curve ball by pretending to have something else!
The singer was a friend so I could laugh at him later. We covered it but I think I was more embarrassed than he was, not that I was very embarrassed.
The patient-actor thing is pretty strange. I first perform next week. “Doc! My back! I need a backiotomy!”
And I could have sworn that the stuff we liked in high school was the utmost epitome of coolness. I hate being proven wrong.
I know! How could we have been fooled?! We were so smart!
Drumstick to the back of the lead singer’s head…
isn’t that how stage diving got started?!
I think it’s how the mic stand smashing the drum set got started.
I thought that was Jen too.
Funny stuff.
The big nose is the giveaway.
Wish I could have been there to see that flying drum stick! That long hair cracks me up! Good luck with all your projects!
Thanks Mark!
My comic?
Hm?
At least when you had the drumstick hit the singer in the head you had a real “show stopper!”
