Yesterday in the writers room things got a little heated between Kenn and Ken. I actually had to jump in a break them up. It was awful.
On the white board in the writers room we have a count down for how many scripts we have left. Right now it says 3. Yesterday it said 4. Kenn started talking about certain scripts we were working on and said we would only have 2 left. Ken said we actually have to write 3. Kenn agreed but said we only had 2 new ones to write. Back and forth they went, arguing over whether it was 3 or 2.
Now here is what they were thinking. Kenn was thinking we only have to come up with 2 more IDEAS. Ken was thinking we actually have to finish WRITING 3 scripts. Both were right. Both were saying the same thing. Neither was backing down.
Kenn made the first move. Letting out a wild scream, he leaped like a cat over the table and tackled Ken to the ground. Luckily for Ken Chad, God rest his soul, taught him a few moves. Ken tossed Kenn like a rag doll and hurled him into the wall leaving a divot that guarantees Mondo won't be getting it's deposit back. Kenn quickly scrambled to his feet and pulled out a knife that was bigger then he was...some people would call it a sword...not me though, I call it a knife.
Ken ran to the supply closet, with Kenn right on his tail, and found himself his own knife (sword, whatever) because we have EVERYTHING in our supply closet. They had quite a battle. I decided that it was time to break it up. I used my blowgun to tranquilize them both (again, thank you Chad), and they woke up a few hours later not remembering much of anything.
There was some collateral damage (Mondo will be looking for a new CFO after a proper mourning period), but that's the creative process.

I don't remember any of this, but it DOES explain all the blood on my hands, and my massive hangover (although plenty of things could explain that).
And it WAS three scripts, dammit!

Ken,
It explains SOME of the blood on your hands, but not all.

Sometimes I wonder what we do in the office all day! You've inspired me to get off my butt and do the photo tour of the writer's room for our fans.
Maybe I'll shower first; get all this blood off me...

"some people would call it a sword...not me though, I call it a knife."
Quoted For the Truth. I say that all the time, one thing strikes me though- you're not in the "Lucky Country"

Samuel,
I don't know what that means, but I'll take it as a good thing.

I LOVE knife fights!
I just always bring a gun.

Warren,
So which one is the kangaroo, then?
Hopefully this won't inspire more knife fights, but how many 7-minute shows have you actually done now?

Actually, this is an old photo from a previous fight. This is why we don't hire kangaroos any more. They are good writers, but have bad tempers. As far as how many we've done lets just say...a lot.

Hey.
Is this new blog thingy replacing the 'ask kenn' column?

phillipa,
I think Reverand Lovejoy put it best when he said, "Short answer, 'no' with an 'if', long answer 'yes' with a 'but'"
Kenn is just lazy. I have been trying to answer serious questions on the message boards, so if you are looking for answers, look there.

I hope no one gets killed at your job.

NWH,
I'm sorry you think you blew your money for your sister, but hey, she appreciates it. It was very nice of you.

What about the camera? Is the camera okay? Maybe there are some kick-ass close-up photos of kangaroo feet on it. Someone should probably check.
