Pritchard is a fine texas name. I get the whole unpaid thing - believe
me - if I could pay you I would...but trust me...i do a lot of work for
Lampoon and don't have a lot to show for it. Zaz is my nickname, my
idea, and my implementation, but do you think I get a piece when they
sell an ad? No. Just want to give you full disclosure here. I'm against
not paying writers or bringing more writers on board until they're
paid...but my sentiment is not reflected by those who cut the checks
around here (YET!), or sadly, those who cut checks at most blogs.
Needless to say, i like your writing a lot and would love to have your
homie write with us. Does he have a column idea? I think new writers
should stay focused on a type of column. Thoughts?

Howdy, yo-
My crony Caleb Pritchard, who is a very funny fellow and a veteran of
the magnificent Texas comedy scene, would like to provide you guys
with even more free and wonderful content. Please provide him with a
login thing and password; you won't regret it. Again, he's good, and
will provide you with hilarious content for free, as is the way of
things these days, apparently. Seriously, though, he's good. Also,
I've got a couple of other people who will be e-mailing you soon who
would like to provide you with further pro bono content. Keep one eye
open, yo! One of them is half Irish, half Jewish. That's pretty
promising, right?
Word,
Barrett
