These 33 United States
Okay. So, yesterday, I posted a fascinating entry on the oh-so-many countries from where we received cartoon submissions for last year’s Nicktoons Network Film Festival (or, as it was then called, Nextoons: The Nicktoons Animation Festival). As a companion entry, offered to you now is a short rundown of the seventeen US states from whose filmmakers we did not hear in 2005: Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. You know, this list suddenly reminds me of - besides our desire to garner film submissions from every corner of the world - the image of my lovely second wife, Ms Montana Nebraska. If you’re out there, honey, all is forgiven. Come on home.

Oh Eric! I’ve been reading your blogs every day, hoping you’d mention me. And now finally….I know, darling, that you really care. Only…since…the incident, I’ve started a new life for myself as a beer spokeswoman for a small Japanese company, and have fallen in love with an 80 year old Puerto Rican gentleman named Django. I’m terribly sorry, but it’s just too little, too late. Ta ta!

OH NO!!! How did you find me??!!?! I DO love you Django, I DO. Remember the time I caught that 100 pound fish and baked it and made it into puree for you to suck through your straw because you misplaced your dentures? If that isn’t love, I don’t know what is!!!

((Too bad our dramatic saga got out of order somehow. Oh well…the clever will read it in the right order.))

HAHAH! That’s right!!! And then we had a good laugh, and I rubbed you with Ben-gay and wheeled you out to the pier under the moonlight! What a romantic night that was!! *sigh* Ah, Django, you’re the best.
