I just saw "Coyote vs Acme." It is good, and worth seeing, but it is a weird film, if you think about it, and if you are a lawyer, or a former lawyer, as I am (I'm retired) it may cause you to ask some uncomfortable questions. Am I supposed to feel guilty if I laugh when Wile E Coyote gets hurt?

Are there any fans here of the book "The Season" by William Goldman? I learned more about theater from that book than any other. Unfortunately it has passages that are very disrepectful to the gay community (it was written in 1969), but aside from that it is supurb.

Did Lake Huron always look like an alligator taking a bite out of something?

Man has a full blown panic attack as he describes the conditions of Adelanto Processing Center. He talks about how people are moved around so much, making it hard for loved ones to find them. #ICE

In my stage version of "The Odyssey," Calypso sings, "Cyclops ate his men for lunch! Odysseus, he wants to go home! In Cyclops' eye, a stick he punch! Odysseus, he wants to go home!" I will bet you won't find that in the Christopher Nolan version.

What odds can I get on a prediction market that Mitch McConnell is not going to finish ot his term?

It used to be that I could say, "Is he dead yet?" and everyone would know who I meant. Now they have to ask, "Trump or McConnell?"

I know everyone loves Robin Williams, but early in his career I saw him do a horrible set. Every joke was about meth. Every single one. And it was made worse by the fact that every comic who went on before Robin Williams had also been doing meth jokes.

In my stage play version of "The Odyssey," Argos is a dog without a nose. "A dog without a nose! How does he smell?" "Terrible!" I guarantee you are not going to find jokes like that in the Christopher Nolan version.

I love my rescue dog Panda, but she does not understand the difference between a squirrel and a skunk.

This was my answer to the fourth question, and I am reposting all my answers because I neglected to include the hashtag when I first posted my answers. The proper hashtag is #HorrorWriitersChat

Dracula often tells the truth, but he often leaves something out. He tells Jonathan Harker that he is free to leave the castle, and he even starts to open the door, but he leaves out the fact that there is a pack of ravenous wolves right outside thev door.

I answered all 4 of the questions, but I did not include the hastag. I am 76 years old, and this is my first experience with Hastags. The Hashtag I neglected to include should have been #HorrarWritersChat

That one is easy. Overconfidence. Characters almost always are overconfident before they meet their doom. It really is a cliche, but it is true to life.

When I posted this, I did not include the hash tag. I do not have a lot of experience with social media The proper hashtag is #HorrorwritersChat

Because most of what I write is comedy, my favorite way of deceivg my characters is by making them stupid. They think they are being logical, but their logic is twisted.

My name is Richard Nathan. I write stage plays and sketches, including a lot of horror. My favorite lie is that we must be brave. Bravery can kill you. In reality, cleverness is more helpful.

Your heart beats faster at the entrance to his tomb. All you need to do is reflect the mirror at him, and he will be banished. It must. It will. Lies are also tools of a false hope/promise. What do your characters fall into before the lie is revealed? #HorrorWritersChat

I love my dog, I really do. But after being sprayed once, she should know better than trying to pick a fight with a skunk. And I should know better than to take a photo.

I'm having trouble with my horror comedy parody of "Taming of the Shrew." I had forgotten how brutally Petruchio treats Kate in Shakespeare. I am replacing all the scenes of Petruchio being brutal to Kate with scenes of Petruchio putting on Punch & Judy puppet shows for Kate.

Who will die first, Mitch McConnell or Donald Trump?

Damn, Trump promised God Bless America by Laura Trump.

In today's New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest, why does the customer have a box of Frosted Lucky Cherms?" Was one of the lawyers at the New Yorker worried they would be sued if they spelled it "Charms"? What is a Cherm?
