I am overwhelmed by the response to my lists. My mother, in particular, has been very supportive and encouraging. It is a new sensation for me, hearing what the audience thinks of my work.
I’ve been working in television for the last seven years; I am not used to interacting with my audience. The most contact I’ve had with a television audience is the dry, analytical Nielsen ratings. It’s been encouraging to have such great interaction.
I’d like to share some of the feedback I’ve gotten from the wonderful Beachwood readers.
Here, then, is a list of reader comments I’ve gotten:
1. “Tell him I’ll fuck his mother in a tree.” – Monkey Fucker
2. “How about a list of jobs you should be getting and bills you regret not paying.” – My Wife
3. “Mr. Adamek does not have authorization to use, describe or adore the likeness of Mr. Jagger. Therefore, this notice serves as intent to sue for copyright infringement.” – Mr. Jagger’s Attorneys*
4 “Ewww, you mean that fat guy in the wrinkled blazer that looks like a used car salesman skulking at the end of the bar? Why would I talk to him?”- Tracy Flick
5. “P.S. I’m glad you are gone too.” – D.C.
6. “The restraining order includes blogging” – That Girl From Rochambo
7. “Why don’t you make a list of CDs you claim you didn’t steal from your brother that I found in your car?” – My Brother
8. “Eh, Fooock Mick Jahggger, you know.” – Lars Ulrich
9. “May George Bush bomb your soul to back to Christ, you heathen. Palin in 2012.” – That Douchebag Who Peed On My Door
10. “Tell them why we call you tater tot.” My Boring Dad
*I am only kidding. Please don’t sue me.
