Groovy, Baby
People often ask me if my dad was Bob Crane, famed star of Hogan's Heroes.
The answer is no.
My dad was Les Crane, the original "shock jock" turned TV talk show host.
But Bob Crane had a kid too and us Crane kids stick together. Bob's son, Robert, just sent me a link to a story he found today online that mentions my dad and also has the grooviest 70s picture ever of both of my parents:
I mean, check out that 'stache. And the clothes? And the headscarf that could possibly cover your entire house ...

Curse you and your voodoo ways! Somehow I found myself reading Max's responses to this week's inquiries. Excuse me while I now interview my turtle for his views on the upcoming mid-term elections. BRB.
What do you mean, "somehow you found yourself reading" Max's column? I think what you meant to say is you were COUNTING DOWN THE MOMENTS until he'd post this week's brilliant advice. That's okay, Davio, I get confused sometimes too.
Seriously, people. My dog knows what's up. You guys should all send in your questions. He wants to help you. Help him help you…

Congratulate Her Anus, Won't You?
My dear friend Abby (also the star of the first short film I ever wrote and directed) got a very thoughtful fan post on her Facebook page.
Now, I'm not one to make fun of those at a disadvantage due to language barriers (ACTUALLY, I TOTALLY AM), but this one really needs to be seen and appreciated.
Please note the post from Toshi Xjapan:
Because, seriously, doesn't everyone's anus need a little congratulating from time to time?
And Toshi, her anus expressly asked me to say "Thank you."
Hi,
I've followed you on Twitter for a little while and added you here - but I know absolutely nothing about you (gathered you have written a couple of books). Who is your mother that someone would recognize (and remember recognizing) in 198
Her name is Oprah. Winfrey? Maybe you've heard of her.
I'm just kidding. It's not Oprah. Do you remember the "Where's the beef" commercials?
I do too. Those were funny. Remember the lady in those commercials? That's not my mom either.
