Why my porn actor name cannot be "Fred Morgan."

Several comments to yesterday's blog post suggested that the "porn name generator game" be used in my pursuit of an appropriate moniker for my future in adult films. This game (take the name of your first pet, and the name of the street you grew up on and voila!) fails for me in two ways.

First, my brother and I would have the same porn name which would sow confusion, especially if we, as we both hope, were to appear in the same film.

Second, my name would be Fred Morgan, and I cannot do...

Porn parody.

I have decided that if (when) I begin to pursue a career in porn I shall have to use the name a Twitter fiend, I mean friend, coined for me: Seamus Virile.

While considering when might be an appropriate time to move into porn (I think I'll give this fiction thing a little time to see if it clicks) I realized that I would also need a porn title, preferably a parody title, and what better to parody than my own book title? So, if my book should disappear a little too quickly from the book...

Today I would like to talk a bit about the importance of clipped nails when typing. When I... what's that noise? Is that an armed woman on a grass-fed steer charging through my front door? Hey, that's MY keyboard...

Stick 'em up. This is a hijacking. My name is Kari and I'm taking charge of this blog for the day. Don't anybody make any funny moves, and don't be trying to sneak out the back door. A Montana girl knows what to do with this here rifle.

I've commandeered Sean's blog for the day...

This is pretty much how Janet gets all her clients.

Suzie, Joanna, you are both brilliant.

Janet, did you get that mouse I sent you wrapped in my latest manuscript?

Wagel was never meant to be.

My bagel hunger needed to be satisfied, but with rain and a bad case of "I really don't want to get dressed right now" I was having trouble leaving the house. Normally in this situation I would turn to good old reliable bacon. Bacon knows what I like. Bacon gets the job done.

But I discovered we have no bacon. In fact, we have very little of anything. I pulled things out of the fridge hoping that maybe some old rolls or a hardened mass of mashed potatoes could stand in for the bagel I...

A cry for help worth watching. Books worth reading.

"The My Eyes, the Goggles Do Nothing" contest winner is..."

Me. I don't think I've laughed so hard in a while. The entries were fantastic, and it was very, very difficult for me to decide who should get Evan Mandery's "First Contact." As a result, I ate the book.

No, that's not true. I burned it.

No.

The winner is: Steve Stubbs. He was brilliant in his description(s) of what I was doing in that picture, and was spot on perfect in each one. Steve, please use the "contact me" page of my site to send me your shoe size and mailing address where I can s...

Announcing the "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!" Contest.

The delightful and possibly deranged Harley May has so brilliantly and accurately described the afternoon I had my author's photo taken that there is no need for me to retell it here. If you want to see the hunnies filled details, check out Harley's post.

Unbeknownst to Harley, there was an alternative photo: the one presented here. Inspired by Harley's dramatic retelling of the first photo, I invite people to reveal the all-too-true story behind the alternative photo. What was I doing and...
