License Change And An Update

Two things of note:

First, I changed the license for the works on this blog. See the link in the sidebar and in the individual posts. All works that are currently on the blog as well as all new works will be licensed under this license.

Also, I have begun work on my serial story. It uses an idea I've had for a long time. I think that this time, I might be able to write it well. If the writing process goes well, look for the first installment within the next two weeks. In addition, I may write a new skit or two between the story installments.

Skit: Blackout Skit #1

Blackout skits are short comedy skits that rely on a huge punchline at the end followed immediately by the stage going dark. When done right, they are really hilarious and add some kick (and variety) to a sketch comedy show.

What I have found out, though, is that blackout skits are hard to write. I can usually pump out a skit pretty quickly when I get right down to it. However, I've had some trouble thinking of any blackout skits to write. And since I really want to put up some new content on this blog, I've decided to post the one skit I have finished.

Let me just say that this skit isn't my best work. It might be considered offensive to some despite the lack of bad language, sex, or violence.

So, I hope you enjoy this short little skit. I will begin my serial short story sometime within the next few weeks (time permitting) so look for that soon.

Priest: Jim, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?

Groom: (angrily to Bride) You're a woman?? You lied to me!! (runs away)
