My columns are basically a race between my tongue and my foot to see which one can get into position first, hence the name: “Tongue-In-Cheek…Foot-In-Mouth.”
If my tongue wins you’ll think I’m full of whimsical exaggeration. But if my foot wins you’ll think I’m an idiot. Hopefully in either case you’ll be laughing, sometimes with me and sometimes at me. But as long as you are laughing, well, then I’ve done my job.
Now, I know what you are thinking, you’re thinking with my tongue so close to my cheek, actually inside my mouth, it should always be the hands down winner. However, my feet are unbelievably quick. Bruce Lee’s feet should have been so fast.
What you may have missed over the past 4 weeks
So, there we were: my six-year-old daughter and me standing in the middle of our driveway with a deadly blood-sucking vampire bat, equipped with a fifty-foot wingspan, hovering, flapping, swooping, and dive-bombing overhead. Sara, my daughter, stood in front of me with her head stuck so firmly pressed against my chest you would have thought my [...]

Look, Lord knows I am no brain surgeon. But I do have common Glenn Beck sense. So, here is how I view socialism. And I do this by way of an example:
A nightclub with waiters and waitresses
Okays, so, we have 10 waiters and 10 waitresses. At the end of each shift, all tips will be put [...]
Obama says: “He would rather be a great one-term president than a two-term mediocre president.”
Okay, so stay with me on this. If he were a mediocre one-term president, in order for him to be a mediocre two-term president he would have to be elected twice. Now, if he is elected twice as being a mediocre [...]
Okay, so I am about to stand-up my new copyrighted © culinary concept, titled, “Food, Fun, & Fitness,” which I eventually plan to pitch to The Food Network. Check out the promo at the bottom right-hand side of this website where I am acting as the “Grill Guy” during my daughter’s 8th grade graduation, May [...]

As screenwriters and regular guys, I know what men like when it comes to movies: cool monsters, hot babes, and a reference to The Three Stooges. I have penned and copyrighted an action/adventure screenplay, titled: “Monster Men.” This script captures all three of these mandatory man-movie-going motivators. But there are also a few romantic comedy elements, enough to make the ladies happy.
Logline:
A scientific expedition, made up of a team of Crypozoologists, search the globe for a legendary monsters, but they never come back with any rock hard evidence of crypid existence. One adventure finds the team in the thick, hot, insect-biting-sucking-filled jungle of Central America. The team discovers a prehistoric beast, a true crypid, and they attempt to capture it; however, the monster breaks free, and unknown to the team, hitches a ride on their boat back to the Louisiana Bayou where it places many lives in danger.

UPDATE: DEC 2011 - Monster Man has caught the attention of a media heavyweight: Doug Hajicek. Doug is a tv producer/director and the developer of unique camera designs, one of which caught the first video of a 54-foot giant squid. Nice! Wish us luck!

As a screenwriter (I am also a humorist - hence most of this site) I have the ability to make you laugh during one scene, and scare the be-gee-zus out of you in the next. My copyrighted horror screenplay, “For All Eternity,” does just that.
LOGLINE
A man justifiably kills in vengeance but he is condemned to the hands of the devil for all eternity.
