How to Fix a Haunted House

Here's my question:

Why don't they ever do exorcisms during house parties?

I mean, wouldn't that be the most logical way to do it?

Every time somebody investigates a haunted house or tries to expel a demon, it's always two lone guys with cameras, or a priest and another priest, or a ragtag group of kids trying to save the world.

If you're grappling with demonic, otherworldly forces--why wouldn't you have as many people there as possible?

Is it because you'd scare the demons away?  And if so, wouldn't that be a good thing?  And why would you scare them away?  Why would a demon be more scared of fifty people than five?  It's a demon.  It's from Hell.  I don't think safety in numbers applies.

All the same--if you had a ton of people there, then you would have proof that something fucked up really was happening.  I mean, you can deny the word of a couple of people, but twenty or thirty?

Now, that's proof.

Really, I'm just curious about what would happen if you threw an all-out frat-esque party at an alleged "haunted" house.  If these ghosts are pissed because a single mom with two kids moved in, imagine what they should (logically) do if people are blasting Paramour in the living room and guys are doing kegstands in the basement where the Satanic rituals were performed.

Who knows?  Maybe that could become a new trend.

Haunted House Parties.

First person to expel Lucifer from the body of a six-year-old gets a copy of The Conjuring on DVD.

There are eight million cable channels and nobody's thought of this yet?

Who can I pitch this to?

Granted, it could result in the possession of an entire house full of people who would then be let loose onto the world thereby setting off Armageddon where the dead will walk the Earth...

...Or nothing at all could happen.

Come on--you know you're intrigued.

A List of People Who Can Go to Hell Now That I Can't Have Elizabeth Warren

So today was a rough day for everybody who isn't a @#$%-ing #$%hole. Let's just start there. If that upsets you, by all means, go straight to hell. This entire rant is going to be exactly what it sounds like. I am mad and I am going to exercise my right to BLOG ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S 1995, SO BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP. I really don't even know where to start, so let's just jump right in with the first person who comes to mind. Bloomberg, go to hell.  You really didn't have anything specific to do with today, but you can just go to hell for spending an ungodly amount of money on literally nothing.  I mean, you could have lit millions of dollars on fire and at least warmed the hands of the homeless, but instead, you made tv stations across the country that are already owned by Conservatives rich, so kudos to you and go to hell. Amy Klobuchar, I STUCK UP FOR YOU AMY.  I got into FIGHTS on SOCIAL MEDIA while DEFENDING your sorry, self-interested ass.  You know ...

Theater and the Outbreak

After last week's interview, a representative from a theater that recently experienced the results of opening too soon reached out to speak with me. I want to thank this person for coming forward in the hopes that it'll change some minds about what's safe and what isn't when it comes to the performing arts. Here's the interview: ME:  So this wasn't a full production or-- THEM:  No. It was us trying to do a little something for friends and donors. ME:  Who is 'us?' THEM:  The board of _____. ME:  And how long have you been on the board? THEM:  Three years. ME:  What was this going to be? THEM:  There's a, uh, beautiful park here in town, and we wanted to do an outdoor performance of a Shakespeare as a benefit, because, as you know, theaters are having a hard time right now paying the bills. We checked with the local government and the health department for the state to make sure we were doing everything the way we needed to in order to keep everyon...

My Favorite Podcasts

During this pandemic, I've finally gotten through most of my podcast backlog, and since a bunch of people were sharing their podcast lists last month, I thought I'd join in. I'm not going to give descriptions of each one, but I'll clarify why some are favorites of mine. 10 Things That Scare Me Adulting - Admittedly I don't really like live episodes of podcasts let alone podcasts that are mostly live, but this one is an exception. Against the Rules with Michael Lewis All Songs Considered Articles of Interest Asian Enough Broken Record The Butterfly Effect with Jon Ronson - No new episodes for awhile, but sooo interesting. Cautionary Tales - Absolutely incredible Code Switch Come Through with Rebecca Carroll - Some of the best interviews you'll hear from the past few months The Daily - I go back and forth on this one because the New York Times is so problematic, but very few podcasts does what this one does as well as it does it Dead Eyes - If you're an actor,...
