After this week he has to come up with another weeks worth of story lines. Then after that? Another week. And another and another. He has no plan b so he's got to keep this machine running for the next 25 years (that's assuming he's putting enough back in his IRA that he can retire comfortably). 25 more years with 52 weeks in a year that's 1300 more weeks of storylines he has to come up with. The pressure has to be incredible. So if he has to pull storylines from tv shows every few weeks to keep the machine known as PvP running then more power to him. He's not been able to convert PvP into a huge business like "Least I Could Do" or "Penny Arcade" both who employ a large staff and have a huge business. Scott just has his one man show so he's got to do it all himself. And he needs to thank the PA guys for the hits over the past couple of weeks which jump started his declining numbers.jsiebelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02805119400125280255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989649127373312714.post-66500891673162618662009-02-06T07:05:00.000-08:002009-02-06T07:05:00.000-08:00"When my town that I grew up in finally got a moto...<I>"When my town that I grew up in finally got a motorcycle cop, my sister turned to me and said "awesome, if I get pulled over for drunk driving, will he take me to the station on his handlebars?" it was a much funnier joke then Kurtz."</I>That definitely would have been a huge improvement over this (like D said) 'concept'.<BR/><BR/>Even today's conclusion is damp squib that portends of future Panda-esque encounters for Brent (or worse still, the story being dragged out for a second week).Skohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265848547335575464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989649127373312714.post-41105148280706483152009-02-06T01:10:00.000-08:002009-02-06T01:10:00.000-08:00ugh that Kevin James movie was filmed at the mall ...ugh that Kevin James movie was filmed at the mall I worked at for a while, where real segway cops work. Honestly, stupidest idea ever. The segway cops, and well maybe that Kevin James movie too.
