When you win give a "clever" speech, a "bitter" speech, or a standard speech.<br /><br />("I'm going back to my seat now. Really. Not going backstage.")<br /><br />2) Pull a Woody Allen - with or without explanation<br /><br />3) Send a Proxy<br /><br />In any case, write a therapy sketch and put it with your notes for the next book, and maybe publish it (maybe not).

The S.O.B. owes me a months worth of pay from teaching little old ladies how to foxtrot and Charleston and waltz back in the early 80s in between radio gigs. Always an excuse; we had a glitch in the system and your stuff didn't get entered. End of the month and next payday later....."oh we lost your info" so you'll have to wait. I said "Adios, Mother F*****rs, see you in court" and split. I remember seeing a news article a few decades ago about them being sued for not paying employees and ripping off old ladies but to this day I have never seen a dime.YEKIMIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01921751875397071034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-15309814279577102422016-09-18T23:00:59.083-07:002016-09-18T23:00:59.083-07:00Is there a clip of you accepting the Emmy?Is there a clip of you accepting the Emmy?Mike Barerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447874605833321732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-21277491012494474292016-09-18T20:52:50.462-07:002016-09-18T20:52:50.462-07:00Unrelated to Emmys: WP Kinsella, the author of th...Unrelated to Emmys: WP Kinsella, the author of the novella "Shoeless Joe" which was made into the movie "FIeld of Dreams", died at age 81.<br /><br />http://news.nationalpost.com/arts/books/author-w-p-kinsella-best-known-for-1982-book-shoeless-joe-dead-at-81-of-assisted-suicideDavid Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-66747541726537574852016-09-18T20:40:49.643-07:002016-09-18T20:40:49.643-07:00I saw the last two awards.

It wasn't a gift. And most people would give anything for that kind of recognition by their peers. You indicated that going through that last door put winning in perspective, but it didn't. You still had an Emmy in your hand---you still knew that many writers had voted for you and your partner above all others. You shouldn't make light of it. I'm glad we got to read this story this year, instead of snark. It was a charming, funny story.

Of course: stopped at security. In his account, he could watch the TSO's mind split in half. One half (my paraphrasing): "These sharp points on the back there...those could hurt someone on the plane." The other half: "Oh, my god, that's an Emmy. Can I hold it?"<br /><br />wgWendy M.
