I couldn't be more proud.

Last year I spent a few giddy months writing with a crack team of funny people for The Onion News Network. I left them to pursue my literary ambitions and also because I'm not 25 anymore and couldn't spend all day every day coming up with sketch ideas. Did I rue this decision? A little, yes. There was some drinking. There were some tears.

I have since cleaned myself up and moved on, but look! The Onion News Network is now live, and oh my god, the one bit I wrote for them (okay, co-wrote,sheesh) that will probably ever make it online is actually online today. Oh, I had some others that were brilliant, my friends, BRILLIANT. My favorite was cut because Mad Magazine scooped me. Scooped by Mad! I'm still not over it.

Go see!

Foul Arabia! Man, that's the stuff.

But what WAS the sketch that was scooped by Mad...?

[alice]

That would be The Iraq War Chess Set, Mr. I Know Perfectly Well What That Sketch Was...

"Singer Bjork diagnosed with bird flu" *snort*

Heeelarious! Sorry you were scooped by Mad.

But did you ever play softball with Team Onion?

(I tried, last time I visited Madison unpregnant and babyless. I aspire to such proud mediocrity. Alas, Stephen had a full roster that day, so all I could do was cheer.)

Ah, I've always wondered who writes for The Onion. Things have fallen into place now like you wouldn't believe .

[SparklieSunShine]

That's great! I'm heading over there now to read it.

[SparklieSunShine]

...or watch it. ;)

You've just won my Onion-loving husband's heart. (You won mine long ago.)

[Vid Digger]

Congrats!

Now if only I could get a job with mad. You read my old blog, so you know I'm more than qualified, but I'm not saying. Have to keep the mystery intact. ;)

"The strange, yellow-faced people . . ." OH MY GOD. What's so funny about that video is what also makes it so sad: because it's true, that's the way our gub'mint seems to view the rest of the world. But that combover was priceless.

So cool! So funny! So jealous!

[ozma]

Sea monsters on the map were a good touch.

[Jerri Ann]

That's pretty cool!

[Suebob]

Dying of jealousy. Kill me now.

Have always loved The Onion...glad to know you were a part of that great snark team. Why oh why does one part from such great company? Ditto the above comment, I'm paralyzed with envy.

Hysterical. You funny lady.
