my dad was on leno!
 

kind of.

my dad wrote an article about john tesh performing at the local arts center where he lives in texas. my dad wrote "self-deprecating", and his editor changed it to "self-defecating" somehow. well, leno read it on the part of his show where he shows off bloopers in print. my dad has been freaking out all day.

that is so great.

ur dad is bad at speling.

Cool beans, schiz!

did yr dad have to GO to the john tesh show?

Sure, he blames it on his editor...

hahahaha

My dad can beat up your dad.

i wanted to rep your dad but can't.

Rep me instead. Emma did, but I think she accidentally clicked "negative" and I wound up in the red.

whats your dads email

That's funny!

Tight!

Who cares if it is the editor or the dad. It's silly.

Go schizogirl's Dad! Good story, though your Dad must be somewhat miffed at his editor make that change to the word.

Melly, where you at???
Get on AIM so we can talk about men on films shit

Crypto - I'm at work, and AIM is blocked here! (Crap!) - We can chat on MySpace if you want? Not as good as AIM, I'll admit....you all good, senor?

Yeah I'm good
Just bored
Not tired
Well, I'm getting there

Is there a Myspace chat thing or something?

In response to your myspace msg:

Yeah, I'm great
Just bored to death
Slaved on a couple of designs tonight
Had a bottle of wine

I'll show ya what I worked on later

Cool stuff, sir - look forward to seeing the designs. I'm off out to see a mate's band this evening in Hackney, then we're jumping into a cab to see the ace yet ridiculous group De Salvo at some pub in Islington. Am looking forward to it very much.

Ha ha! At least nobody knows it was your dad's copy. Until now, that is.

Good grief. Is he ready to shoot his editor?

self-defecating is really no big deal; it's when you need other's help that it becomes a problem.

tell yr dad to chin up.

nah, dad just cares that his prose was on tv. dad is shameless.

ha ha ha ha. most awesome.

I saw the installment of Headlines Monday night. If I'm up and watching and Dave is not doing Small Town News at the same time, I always flip over to Leno to watch that segment.

Wow, that was your dad.
I'm having a hard time understanding how such a error could have been made editorially though.

Hahahahaha! I almost never watch Leno, but I do like the Headlines segment. I actually happened to see that very headline, and it cracked me up. Kudos to your dad!

Honestly, I'd consider it to be an honor.

In college one of my part-time jobs was making sale signs in this department store. I did this on one of those old-fashioned letter presses where you plop in the text letter by letter, roll ink over the letters, then press and roll the paper over it. All by hand, essentially.

I had to make a sign advertising a Golf Shirt Special. Made it, sent it up to the Men's Department, men's manager hangs the sign. They don't notice until almost 9 p.m. that I missed the letter "r" in the word "Shirt".
