Is this funny? It seemed funny this morning when I thought of it but now I am not so sure. You know how that is everyone (obv excluding MM, Kauf et al).

tum ti tum bum dum ti tum OUCH! OUCH! You know, you should try to concentrate more when you are shaving. I know, thanks.

Descent 2 by smamurai 1-14-05

Do you think it's weird that I am having a conversation with myself in my own mind? No, it's a thought process that most people have. I'm guessing. Yeah, It's not as if you are a separate entity with your own thoughts and feelings. Uh huh. So, did you see the game last night? No and neither did you. I hate football.

Descent 3 by smamurai 1-14-05

But if I can actually see you then I must be mad. No you're not, I'm a visual tool to help our readers stay focused. Our readers? Yeah, oh and another thing. It would also help if you called me Vido, otherwise it's all going to get a bit confusing round here. But my name is Flynn and you are me and ... wait a minute, you're Italian? On my mothers side yes.

Descent 4 by smamurai 1-14-05

So you are telling me that I am in a comic-strip? Yes and I am the star of said comic. Am I in one right now? Yes. We are in the middle of one right now as it happens. Can I give a shout out to my posse? No. We have run out of time I am afraid.

Descent 5 by smamurai 1-14-05

I know what's happened. I have had some sort of breakdown, I must be a paranoid schizophrenic with multiple personality disorder. I'm in an asylum right now. Wearing a strait-jacket and lying naked on a table .... ... being watched by doctors through one-way mirrors as they laugh at my naked body. Maybe I killed someone in real life so I created this bizarre fantasy about being in a comic-strip to escape the horrendous feelings of guilt. Okay no more monologues for you. Did you forget we are trying to work up to a punchline here?

Descent 6 by smamurai 1-14-05

Can you prove to me that I am in a comic-strip? Maybe I can... Yes, go on. ... and maybe I can't Why are you speaking so slowly? You'll find out next episode. This is what we, in the business, call a 'cliffhanger'.

Descent 7 by smamurai 1-14-05

Ah I see. It's all so simple. Vido, you're explanation was completely satisfactory. Yes and when you talk about the viewers at home it's called 'breaking the fourth wall'. That reminds me. Aren't the viewers expecting some shock revelation being that this is a post cliffhanger episode? Yes Flynn, I am sleeping with your wife!!! Are you really? No. You're not married. Which is kinda shocking for a 33 yo Republican. Unfortunately you are neither.

Descent 8 by smamurai 1-14-05

CUT!! Look, this series is an absolute shambles. It's meant to be a serious dialogue about the inner workings of the mind. And for the love of God stop breaking the fourth wall. It's been done before and it's been done funnier. Ha! You can talk. Our director, on screen and we are still filming. Talk about shattering illusions. But I yelled cut? There is only one panel left. Someone say something funny. And to think, I used to be David Schwimmer(sp?).

Descent - The Apology. by smamurai 1-14-05

Hi, I used to be David Schwimmer(sp?). I'm the actor who plays Flynn in the popular Descent comic-strips. The Producers feel that we have strayed from the original script template. Our episodes are taped 'live' to keep them exciting. But sometimes we forget things, like jokes and stuff. So to re-cap... Vido is a voice inside Flynn's head. Unsure if this makes him insane or not, Flynn turns to the only person he thinks he can trust.. ..unfortunately that person is Vido. We're playing it straight this time. We're serious actors and we will no longer be breaking any 4th walls or whatever.

I will have to finish this next week. It's all in my head but I have run out time. Hope I don't lose the ending to alcohol.
