   	Oh, well, I got a bit I wrote about not quite understanding the   
   mythology of the Chinese Zodiac printed in the Singapore tabloid free   
   paper _Today_ a couple years ago.  (They didn't ask me about it, and I   
   only learned about it by stroke of luck, so I couldn't grab several   
   dozen copies for myself.)   
      
   	And it's no Pulitzer, but I am one of the roughly 65 competitors   
   for the 2008 Robert Benchley Society Humor Prize Competition.  I don't   
   know if we're supposed to tell which essay we wrote (they're made   
   anonymous on the web site) but ... well, there's a surprising connection   
   between one of my side jokes and one of the monologue jokes for the   
   Friday show this week --   
   	http://www.robertbenchley.org/2008_competition/index.htm   
      
   	Finalists get selected by the 15th and turned over to *the*   
   Bob Newhart for ranking.  I have to admit the thought of Bob Newhart   
   reading something I wrote with the intention to be funny excites me   
   in a way ... well, it'd be like having pizza with Rob Smigel and Don   
   Novello, you know?
