PostAWeek 13: March Performer of the Month
By David “The Most Electrifying Man in Blogger Entertainment” Dysart
April 5th, 2013 


Tom and Chuck were transcribed in front of an imaginary audience











Chuck: Hello ladies-

Tom: Lady.

Chuck: ...

Tom: ...

Chuck: And gentlemen-

Tom: Gentleman.

Chuck: What exactly are you doing?

Tom: Do you really thing that many people are reading these?? I’m guessing it’s right around two people. One of each to be hopeful.

Chuck: 2, 20, or 2,000, we have a job to do. Would you mind terribly if we just got to it?

Tom: You know, if you replace “a job” with your wife’s name, that sentence becomes even more accurate.

Chuck: Are you done?

Tom: I’ve never had to ask your wife that.

Chuck: Really?

Tom: Nope. Trust me, I KNOW when she’s done.

Chuck: Not “really” to that! I meant “really” to are we really going to start this whole ‘wife’ thing up again?!

Tom: Ooohh... Yeah, we are.

Chuck: ...

Tom: A distinction without a difference really there Chuck.

Chuck: Anyways, PostAWeek readers, I’m Chuck.

Tom: I’m Tom.

Chuck: And welcome to the March Performer of the Month

Tom: Where we present to you the major entertainment players in the life of PostAWeek author David Dysart for the month.

Chuck: Our first performer is...


Chuck: Hmm, more of a character than an actual performer.

Tom: True, but he seems to be sneaking into references, shopping, and all kinds of slices of life.

Chuck: Fair enough. And our second performer is...



Chuck: Again, not an actor?

Tom: Nope. Having burnt through the season-long series and movie over Spring Break, it inspired PostAWeek author, David Dysart to start a new bout of woodworking (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4103890855843&set=a.3694127492015.115248.1840165438&type=3&theater) and even a minimalist drawing (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4084310886356&set=a.3563640909932.112922.1840165438&type=3&theater)

Chuck: Alright, well, our third “performer”

Tom: Did you just “airquote” on a written blog?

Chuck: I did. If your going to pick weird “performers” than I’m going to do that.

Tom: But the readers can’t see air quotes.

Paul: Don’t worry. I’ll add them in for the blog.

Chuck: Let’s just get our third performer,

Tom: Alright, Mr. Grumpy.
            The Belt Sander


Chuck: Oh, come on!!

Tom: What? It really stepped up for the wood working projects.

Chuck: Whatever. Just tell us the fourth.


Chuck: :-/

Tom: Don’t just sit there and pout.

Paul: Don’t worry. I’ll get that in transcription too.

Chuck: Whatever. How on earth can you justify permanent markers as a performer?

Tom: Because they’re the exclusive tool for the Minimalist Depictions! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3563640909932.112922.1840165438&type=3

Chuck: Whatever. We’re almost at our 500 words. I’m ready to be done with this stupidness.

Tom: Paul, drumroll please

Paul: dududududuuddududududududu

Chuck: What?

Tom: There, read.

Chuck: Why.

Tom: You haven’t exactly been involved this week. Announce our winner!

Chuck: I’d announce a performer, but we have none this week!

Tom: :-(

Chuck: :-|

Tom: Did you get those, Paul?

Paul: Yep, you guys are good.

Tom: Anyways, our Performer of the Month is...
            Afro Samurai

Chuck: Were any of us supposed to care?

Tom: Ooo! And off of shear inspiration, Afro Samurai pulls out a tight race.

Chuck: I take that as a ‘yes’?

Tom: You know what? It’s good to see in a month of change, transition, and Mile-High Diaries, good ol’-fashioned ronin values.

Chuck: Wait. Are you ignoring me?

Tom: You know, Paul. It would really help to have a Performer to close out this show.

Chuck: We’re at 600 words. Just end the blog, Tom.

Tom: Like a Performer that would let me know we were over our word count.

Chuck: ...

Tom: You know, remind me to close out the blog.

Chuck: ...

Tom: Oh well, PostAWeek readers (both of you).

Paul: Parenthesis?

Tom: Yep, thanks, Paul. That’ll do it for all of us here at the Performer of the Month. We hope you enjoyed and come back next week for PostAWeek author, David Dysart’s hard-hitting expose on heroes, villains, and the antihero.

Going faster than a “Reply All” email, websites like mine will surely go your way

New to the Bloggaday? These are the essential posts to see
158 – Boxer V Brief – Short, concise joke machine and a DYNAMIC ENTRANCE! to my favorite Bloggadays of the Second Trigaday
159 – A Phthalates-filled Sbarro Breadstick – This was just a funny Bloggaday despite the essence being something no one will get unless the look up what a phthalate is
174 – FNtCCA,aToTbDD– While I think it’s clear I rarely EDIT the Bloggaday, this train-of-thought post shows how much I have to FILTER it…
183 – SotW 13 – This one had it all. Pretty much every bit that’s been a major player in the SotW made its way into this one, so it’s a good one to try.
134 – SotW 5 – This particular Song of the Week featured the characters a bit truer to their original concept. After a while, I started liking Tom too much and changed him a bit which caused changes to Chuck.
227 – PWND: TSHBRotCCPS pt16 was some solid fiction content. Plus, that was probably some of the finest Final Thought I’ve ever thought up.


Dear PostAWeek reader,
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Friday writing, acting, transcribing, and posting whatever brilliance it is that I posted.
What we did WAS brilliant, but we think you're crazy to make us write an outro telling you something clever to leave you on a good note. You leave us how you want to leave us. In the simplest emotion and the most convenient thoughts. But what we found out is that each one of you thought this was funny
and witty
and sad
and boring
and a waste of time
Does this leave you on a good note?
Sincerely yours, the Performer of the Month Club
