Shill: Redux
Posted on | August 7, 2008 | 2 Comments
Yes, I know it’s all slightly distasteful, this shameless self-promotion, but since I last mentioned my request for votes in the Movie Mogul Fund, I have received an email from them that expressly tells me to canvass. They even suggested friends, family and Facebook. I have exactly six friends, my family is dysfunctional in the extreme and, as I neither am, nor am I pretending to be, a thirteen-year old girl, I have no presence on any social networking sites. I’m not even sure how they work.
Therefore, I can now, legitimately and above-board, request that you go and vote for me. Even if you don’t like it (and let’s face it, it is a bit pants).
Off you go then. Rock the vote.
Mine’s towards the bottom of the first page – Gerry Hayes. I know, I know – I should have used a pseudonym. Perhaps Guy de Grand-Valise or maybe Ulrich VonLagerberger. I’ll know better next time.
No pressure, but as I now have no other source of income, if you don’t vote, it’ll be your fault when I’m living in a box, when I’m living in a cardboard box.

I mostly sit around all day and drink tea. Occasionally, I write stuff and send it to strangers so they can humiliate me and debase my efforts. Other than the self-harm to dull the shame of failure, it's not a bad life. Like I say, there's tea.

Ok Mr. Trousers cause I enjoy your blog, I went and registered…somewhat confusing process and cast you a vote.
If you don’t win I will send you a roll or two of duct tape to stabilize your cardboard box and build an addition if needed for baby Trousers
Now will you answer my damn email I sent you a month or so ago.

Velvett: My apologies, I didn’t receive any email from you.
If you would care to resend it to trousers (at) jimmypagestrousers (dot) com, I would be more than happy to respond. Damn this technology – it can’t be trusted.
Thank you very much for voting (and for your kind offer of duct tape).
