[Ravi Chivukula]

Oh dear Bob,

What is this about "Raja Ravi's standards are very high"? I can't be as
creative as you or that woman Obba, now Emily's got me thinking - should I
try writing a song. Gosh I love singing, playing harmonium/keyboard,
learning the goddamn guitar now but I have never written a song - should I?
May be for that little girl fantasizing on Amma?

I totally enjoyed your first line for Bubbles Barry's autobiography - the
judges think you are the most creative here on FFL so really there's not
much thought needed for that decision. Are you going to spoil me with posts
like this? Is that what your intention is :-). I'm already too wild and
untamed - you and Robin are the only two people who should be admonishing
and disciplining me periodically :-)

Anyway - love your posts, good to have you back here.

Ravi.

***I understand, and that's probably my cue to take a powder.

For your listening pleasure during your confinement:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-w9OclUnns



And for your viewing pleasure, if you haven't already watched this lady.
I'm interested in our Stone Age (as you know, it helps for those
commercially inclined), more specifically the period 70,000 years ago
when a small group of us may have made it out of Africa; along the
Indian Ocean edge of the Arabian Peninsula (The Yemen and Oman) and
eventually to India; after years of believing the Aryan invasion
hypothesis I'm presently leaning more toward OIT; I enjoyed this series
and was impressed with the presenter, an MD and anthropologist (not
Simon Schama or Micheal Wood but worth the time---if you're interested).

Not sure we could get anyone looking as good as Ann, but I've asked the
wife to earmark a full set of samples for you for when we reach Seattle;
this might be awhile as we're presently in Manhattan and like Sherman
before her she has decided to head South before we go West. It's likely
just as well as we're still working out some bugs on the latest offer,
one causes the subject to grow antenna like---"My Favorite
Martian"---whenever they encounter a male who is bullshitting them (I
may not have mentioned, its a product for females); but I'm sure we'll
have it ironed (there's that word again) out by the time we get to the
Pacific Northwest.

Bob, yes, this is rough, but I think ready for the judge and thus I am
initialing this (ER) with my blessing.  I did find "The 11 Steps on how
to write a Love Song" - maybe Raja Ravi would consider this as an
appendix for Barry's reincarnation as Share's one and only, given his
practice run in this life with brotherly affection.
http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Love-Song  
  He should be able to come up with something at least as good as this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgT_us6AsDg 

Now, upper level management has determined a few days of solitary
confinement will do me good, now that the kid is finally back at
college, so off I go.
Do you think the wife would save me a sample?  I want to look as good as
Ann does.  Emily.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Jerry Seinfeld on Why He May Never Go Back to TV

[bobpriced]

Emily,




Since it looks like Barry is currently in the middle of another Robin
eruption, I thought it might be helpful to follow up on an invitation
that Raja Ravi extended to us---to come up with a title for Barry's
autobiography. I hope my submission is not too late; I've been
preoccupied writing a press release for a revolutionary new product, the
wife invented---that reverses the aging process.




At the time of Raja Ravi's gracious invitation, Barry was tailgating
Stephen King (not as badly as he tailgated Elmore Leonard, whose 10
writing rules he posted---before he seems to have read them---and then
posted an 11th rule he made up himself to give himself cover after he
realized that Leonard's 10 made him look like a "hack") and some of his
thoughts on first sentences; with that in mind, I thought I might offer
a title, soundtrack and first sentence; they're rough as I haven't
finished the press release yet, but---with your exceptional writing
skills, that never disappoint---I trust you implicitly to edit and
improve my humble offering before its submitted to the judges (Ravi).





Title:  *She was always on my mind*.




Sound track: "Always on my Mind"


  

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7f189Z0v0Y






Suggested first sentence of Barry's autobiography:




Gravity became a kingly host, as my breathing fled my body for the last
time---and Judy's life began flashing before my eyes---slowly, truly,
like watching FIREFLY, for the tenth time---constantly rewinding my
favorite scenes, saying: 'to hell with plot development, I need a hat
like that', as I noticed---to my horror---and thought: 'no, this can't
be true, it just can't be, I'm sure its not---God wouldn't do this to
me; I know I behaved badly---like I was an eight year old, when I was
pushing 70---and, like Bubbles DeVere, pretended crowds of people had
complimented the first sentence of my *FREE* online book: "Road Trip
Mind", when it was only Maya, just before she hit me up for 10
Euros---to buy some bitter liquorice; OMG, what did I do to deserve
this; that's definitely not Judy, it's, its---no it can't be---it's
Robin, and he's saying something: "That's not.", but I can't quite
make it out: "That's not how.", OMG, if I'd only listened to him
more carefully when I had the chance---what can he possibly be saying:
"That's not how you write...", what was that, I need to relax more':
"That's not how you write a 200 word sentence".

Bob, just to clarify - that would be the fantasy of you as a "comedian" - not 
really a fantasy as I find you one of the funniest people ever to grace the

the one of Jerry Seinfeld and Alec Baldwin.  I remembered because I do *love* 
coffee and I got a real contact high out of this one (smile).  Here is the link

"How to out-charm even Barry.."  Ah ha ha ha.  I cannot tell you how funny
