Every ninth full moon, the Reptilian Vaudevillians put on a spectacular show that for one audience member is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Genre: Fable Excerpt: No one will know of my crime. Tomorrow, I will die. And so will every one of my cohorts. The ones who came before are already dead. So none will know of my crime. Today, I should be searching for a mate. But instead, I am hiding in the shadows of leaves, having broken from tradition, from fate, from my duty. What's the Writing Prompt that inspired the story?There is no official writing prompt, but I was prompted to think of this idea when I started drafting my first email newsletter and realized that all the stories I'd written in January 2020 thus far featured an animal. First birds, then a dragon, then a tiger. None of these animals were what they seemed. None of them were ordinary animals. So I figured I'd round out the month with another story centered around an animal. MY FIRST BOOK IS OUT!Ever wonder how I've gotten all these hundreds of stories written? I have a method. And I talk all about it in my book called Fictioneer's Field Guide: A Game Plan for Writing Short Stories. It's now available as an eBook, paperback, and hardcover. The book title takes you straight to the book on Amazon. Or you can visit my Store page: STORYFEATHER STORE (Hint: The Store page has a sign-up form for my email newsletter, where you can get tales of my fictioneering mischief and writing tips from me for free.)

An alligator, standing upright and seen from left, stepping forward with tail raised, and holding out a top hat in the outstretched right forelimb. Behind the alligator is a hazy curtain of moss drawn apart to either side. Strands of sparkling lights are set in the curtains. Behind the parted curtains is only shadow. At bottom edge are the silhouettes of the heads of various animals. Watermark of “Storyfeather” along the alligator's back.

You would be hard-pressed to find someone in Arizona who couldn't share a vivid memory of Pat McMahon – either as a talk show host interviewing the likes of Muhammad Ali and Barack Obama to Mother Teresa and Mick Jagger, or maybe as the host of his internet program “The God Show.” They might have attended an event he was emceeing, where he has helped worthy organizations raise millions of dollars. Chances are though, they know him from his 30 years on the longest-running live children's show, “Wallace and Ladmo,” where he played Gerald and a host of other memorable characters. Pat was literally born into the entertainment business to parents who were lifelong Vaudevillians. He went on the road with them at 5, and he's been touching lives ever since, bringing joy through entertainment, raising funds, causing people to think about the things that matter, and making the world a better place with his gracious heart and sharp wit.

We've had plenty of milestones on this show. The women's championship tournament. The two-out-of-three falls match. Arrival. Takeover. But we're not sure any of those compare to the episode of NXT that originally aired on June 19th, 2014, which features the in-ring debut of the Vaudevillains. If you like it when both Miles and MeganBob are charmed and delighted and just super happy about everything, this is the episode for you! And yes, upon reflection, there are a few non-Vaudevillains things to talk about, which include: The ongoing drama of the BFFs Sami Zayn sells the Fall of Man like a goddamn champ Is Tyson Kidd finally actually a heel now? The surprisingly bright future of Travis Tyler The debut of the Bo-wrence Olivier Award (the Lawrence Bo-livier Award?) Gimmick infringement, explained Did we mention the Vaudevillains?

"It's not luck, it's fate. You, me - a couple of old showbiz pros. At the same place, at the same time..." When a slick comedian (Ed Asner) and leading lady (Elizabeth Ashley), now both in their seventies, meet by chance in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge, the retired performers catch a glimmer of the magic they've been missing in their daily lives. Also featuring Daphne Rubin-Vega and Peter Jacobson and directed by Michael Wilson, "The Simpsons" writer Mike Reiss's NEW YORK STORY is a wryly funny answer to the question, "Whatever happened to that guy?" After the play, the cast joins host Claudia Catania to chat about Vaudevillians and the tenacity showbiz requires. NEW YORK STORY was supported by Don and Linda Silpe.

Episode #86 Sitting down with David Warrack was a real treat for me. David strikes me as someone who has, over time, become even more passionate about the arts and living a creative lifestyle. He has not become jaded or bitter about certain projects not going the way he wanted or maybe not even being produced at all. He has figured out a way to adapt and go with the flow of change in the industry through his career as an artist. David is a real champion of the artist. Your success is his success and he strives to create that kind of supportive environment wherever he goes by creating and producing new work, cheering on his colleagues, and most of all listening to the thoughts and feelings of others until they feel understood. The last thing he said to me before we parted was, “I am only an email away” and after spending time with him, I knew he meant it. Sometimes it’s what people say that impacts me the most and sometimes it's the impact of who they are that leaves the biggest impression. With David, it was both. In this episode, we discuss what changes he would like to see happen in the entertainment industry, why he believes every artist should explore writing on some level, what was the biggest takeaway from his lunch with Leonard Bernstein and so much more! About David: Conductor, Pianist, Organist, Composer, Lyricist, Book-Writer, Musical Director, Orchestrator, Arranger, Singer, Vocal Coach, Music Producer, Producer (theatre, television, recordings), Guest Lecturer, Teacher Toured for fifteen years with Maureen Forrester, starting with the Vancouver Symphony at EXPO 86 (CD), 5 years with Jeff Hyslop (CD), and 8 years with Michael Burgess, in each case as Musical Director/Accompanist/Conductor.

It's the post-Payback edition of WrestleRant Radio with Graham "GSM" Matthews being joined by Jamie Lee Mac to analyze the event and much more in the world of wrestling! But before they break down the show, they discuss the breaking news of Ryback potentially leaving WWE this summer. Can he be blamed for wanting to leave the company? Also, they share their thoughts on Eric Young shockingly debuting in NXT last week as well the growing landscape of NXT, King of the Ring, and even R-Truth!In the second half of the show, GSM and Jamie talk Payback featuring Baron Corbin suffering his first loss to Dolph Ziggler (and why it made zero sense), Kalisto and Ryback ripping it up on the Kickoff show, Enzo Amore's injury scare and The Vaudevillians becoming the new No. 1 contenders to the WWE Tag Team Championship, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens stealing the show, the Intercontinental Championship picture, Dean Ambrose and Chris Jericho's feud continuing, the Montreal Screwjob finish to the WWE Women's Championship match, the McMahons running Raw (again), and Roman Reigns vs. AJ Styles in the main event.
It's a guest-less show, that's right, one hour and twenty five minutes of me just ranting and raving. Nah, actually, I am way more level headed than my Post Wrestlemania show, so if you enjoyed all that anger and cursing, there isn't as much here...but there's still some. This episode will go over Payback, all the matches and results. I go over Baron Corbin and the buffonery of having him job on the preshow, after winning the Andre Battle Royal. I talk about Dolph Ziggler's career, and where he could possibly go, and if WWE will ever give him a top chance again. I touch on Kalisto and Ryback's match, and Ryback's uncertain future with WWE. Enzo's injury during the #1 contender tag match is up next, and I go over various ideas behind how it happened. I touch on Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, what I'd like to see for them in the future, Zayn's dangerous suplex, and Owens and how WWE likely sees him today. I ponder the future of the IC title, and how Miz and Cesaro fit in. Chris Jericho vs. Dean Ambrose is discussed, and Jericho's new reputation as a "politician," and whether I believe it is true, as well as Ambrose and his future. I talk about the blah finish to Charlotte vs. Natayla, go over my thoughts on Charlotte's ring abilities, and lament the usage of Bret Hart. I cover The McMahons' segment, and how Chicago responded. And finally, I go over the "phenomenal" main event between AJ Styles and Roman Reigns. As always, i have alot to say about Roman and how he is booked and perceived. I talk about how well I think AJ has adjusted to WWE, and how I think he will do from here on out. I talk about how I hated the finish, but how I also understand the reasoning.I talk tonight's RAW from there, including: Shane & Steph, and why I liked to see Owens and Cesaro with mic time so early, as well as their match and the IC title situation; Tyler Breeze and how terrible his 2016 has been; the Tag Team Titles and where they are headed, as well as something the Vaudevillians did that I really liked, and the future for Big Cass; Emma and Becky Lynch, and the crowded top tier of the Womens Division; The Ambrose and Steph segment, why it was disappointing, and Jericho's trolling on Twitter; The US Title Battle Royal, what happened to Zack Ryder, the underutilized Alberto Del Rio, Kalisto's disaster in the commentary chair, more Baron Corbin tomfoolery, Apollo Crews, Sheamus, and Rusev's current status, as well as Lana's misuse; "Little Naitch" and the Natayla/Charlotte/Ric Flair segment, and why Flair may have been so speechless backstage; and finally the big main event between Styles, Anderson, and Gallows vs. Reigns and the Usos; the instinctual wrong, pig headed booking of Roman Reigns and how it hurts him, how "phenomenal" AJ Styles has truly been, my disagreeing with the use of Anderson and Gallows so far, and my future predictions for all six men, especially as far as Styles, Reigns, and the World Title go.Please check out the Creative Control T Shirt store at prowrestlingtees.com/CCWithJoeFeeney which will have three new designs within the next ten days!
