My Kingdom for... a Fever!

Hey, kidlets. Have a seat. I've got good news and bad news.

I think this will be the last Punchline Fever for a while. I've been having more trouble lately concocting setups, interest seems to be waning (not coincidentally, I have to believe), and today's episode leaves us at a nice round number, which is what I did last time I put 'da Fever' on hiatus.

Also, I've got a new standup clip up, from Friday night. I didn't even know I would be in the show until a couple of minutes before, so you may note a distinct 'deer in headlights' look on my face throughout the clip.

There you have it. The last little bit of Fever you'll feel for a while. Thanks to all of you who've played my little game -- maybe I'll bring it back again, if I can stockpile a few good setups. In the meantime... well, shit. I guess I'll have to actually start writing real posts on Mondays. Damn. Now I know which one I think is the bad news. Eep.
