Brilliant idea. A clip show! We used to dream of being able to do
clip shows -- they went out of style in the 80', I think -- but it was
an easy way to slide in another episode of a series (and get paid for
it) without having to write much more than "Remember when....?"

Some may call it laziness. I call it "efficiency."

Many thanks. I've often dreamed of reaching Facebook status status.

"When a monkey goes rogue, no clown will come to your aid." is the FUNNIEST line I have heard in a long time. I made it my Facebook status. It is metaphysical. Keep up the great work. I love Martini Shot.

I'd love to hear a MS where you take clips from the last six months or so and make a whole new commentary out of it. A clip show of NPR commentaries...that'd be great!

I think monkeys and clowns AND Cinnabon would be too much of a good
thing.

Good idea. Maybe I'll reuse the opening for another piece. Wait, I
don't mean "reuse." I mean "repurpose."

I'm a little bummed that with monkeys and clowns already well represented, we didn't get a mention of cinnabun, but still, a nice little four minutes. Thanks!

When I first heard this, I could have sworn you were talking about Christian Bale, and out of control actors in general.

Thank you for exacerbating my deep-seated fear of both monkeys AND clowns.
