The following stories are, for better of for worse, 100% grade-A true. In some cases, names have been changed to protect the guilty. As in life, there are a few winners in these tales, but mostly losers. Lots of them.
The
Godfather, Part IV
The joys of godfatherhood are
many, vengeance being one of them. COMING SOON
Desperately
Seeking Accord
A wise man once told me never
to let a stranger borrow your money, girlfriend,
or car. Somehow, that last one slipped my mind one
fateful Saturday evening.
Shoot
Me Now
To some, a family portrait represents
a chance to celebrate the ties that bind, capture
a permanent reminder of happier days, or else cover
up vacant wall space. To others, not so much.
The
Legend of Count Dracula, a/k/a J.T. Smith
You've seen the movies, read
the books, and/or dispensed confectionaries to trick-or-treaters
dressed like him. But chances are you haven't met
the real Count Dracula. I have. He's not at all what
you think.
Operation:
Rescue Delta
A quick stop at a bachelor party
turns into an all-night road trip to a Mexican border
town. Would everyone make it back? COMING SOON
Three Seconds of Film, Fifteen Minutes of Fame

is a a stretch. Still, I had a scene with
Bill Murray, was listed in the credits and still
get royalty checks to this day. Top that.
