today's nicholl thought; aka more brad trauma
This totally requires —
A photograph. It is tragically not a good photograph — hey it is a dinky camera phone — but should illustrate the situation. Answers are multiple choice I would not spring a blue book on you.
Given that most scripts are created equal before you open them, which script would you want resting on your delicate alabaster thigh as you read scripts in your pretty underoos and oversized t-shirt? Or, put another way, which script would you actually feel friendly towards?
a : the script with the dinky brads that is going to explode and/or fall apart resulting in tragic paper cuts, page sorting mayhem and much swearing?
b : the script with the long dangerous brads that is going to stab you every chance it gets and leave marks interesting men will find disconcerting?
c : the script with the nice sturdy brads that are not too long and not too short and not too flimsy and also have pretty washers so are totally flat against the script?
*the answer is provided below spelled backwards :
c
:::good brads:::
:::pretty washers:::
:::fun mallets:::

what’s that? I couldn’t focus on anything after the phrase, “resting on your delicate alabaster thigh.”
I lost focus after “underoos” which is probably why I chose multiple choice answer “B.”
(A little danger never hurt anyone -well, except delicate alabaster thighs).
I think we have firmly established that Woeful is straight despite his fashionista savvy.
The Writer’s Store owes you a commission. I just bought some things after clicking on the links here.
That’s not a bad photo, it’s excellent actually for a camera phone.
Thanks for the tips.

Oh, suspected he was…my gaydar didn’t go off or anything like that. Unless his gaydar hasn’t gone off either.
Just kidding, Woeful!
I have a weakness for men in Dolce ties. Oh who am I kidding? I just have a weakness for ties.
Woeful is hot.
Max, I put two scripts in my freezer. I can’t remember why. What is your offical advice on that? I think they have the short brads.
Put the scripts in the freezer, put the vodka over ice, and buy better brads.
You know it does not make a difference to a Nicholl reader [well it does and it does not since I am crying in my cups over bad brads here] what brads you use. It is a competition. We read the scripts regardless. Also. Nicholl readers only read a couple months. Regular readers? Producer and agent type readers? They read all year long. And this brad thing, if it makes a difference to me? And I only read a couple months a year? Think what kind of difference it makes to someone who reads the whole year — every year. If I did this all year, every year, I would be hurling scripts with bad brads at ceiling fans I do not have.
What is funny is the whole fight on the internet is always over one brad or two. Fuck me, who cares about one brad or two? Nobody. But people care about getting stabbed and exploding scripts. Big time.
Wow big news. Woeful has been being totally cagey he is ENGAGED!
Congratulations, Woeful. Smooch!
I worked for a producer and when scripts would mess up his neat little stacks, for what ever reason the problem script was thrown out.
One day he was laughing hysterically, called his friends and told them that his pool guy just gave him a script and how Hollywood is that….. he then pitched it into the trash. OUCH.
Woeful is engaged! WOW that is news. How did you find that out?
He slipped it in in a blog post. I would not be spilling here if he had not said it out loud.
I know you wouldn’t…….. but you sure have a habit of outing people. …….
Oh if you say something out loud I figure that is out. I just sometimes make it more out.
That is funny. Basically, you are covered then. I am glad you said something…..I was all “Woe is hot” and “Woe likes Maaaaaax” What if his girl reads that…..
Woe is engaged to a radiant Ivy League girl who will give him radiant Ivy League bliss and also radiant Ivy League children. I will never be Ivy League and those boys should stay away from me I singe and damage them.
And I’m sure she’s confident enough to appreciate a compliment about her man.

We used to do those with headshots, too.
I tell you, it’s a cold, cruel world out there.
