F. Lawrence Caslin

F. Lawrence Caslin graduated with honors from the George S. Leonard Elementary School with four commendations for perfect attendance and went on to complete three years of high school before answering his calling.

"I'm a professional owner," Caslin explains. "From my first business collecting money for free parking downtown, I've always known I was destined to make money without actually doing anything for it." And that's just what he's done.

"I owned a lawn watering service in Seattle once." Caslin rolls his eyes. "Like taking pacifiers from babies." And that led to other ventures like his 900# psychic line where he handed out surprisingly accurate NBA fantasy league predictions.

Caslin was also the former owner of now-defunct Fitnesstomorrow.com, the world's first and only online fitness club. "It was the kind of site where people could come when they didn't have time to work out themselves," Caslin explains, "so they could log on and watch a simulated workout. It was a great idea!"

But as wildly popular as it was, it folded less than a year after opening. "We didn't sell a single online membership, not a single one. I still don't understand, a lifetime membership was only five bucks. That's for their whole life! Didn't even sell a lousy t-shirt. I was very disappointed."

All that has led him to his current project, scrivel.com. "Scribbled drivel, get it?" Caslin asks. "I thought of it myself. I was telling some guy his writing was a bunch of scribbled drivel and I said it too fast, thus ... scrivel. It's ingenious, don't you think?"

Casline sees big things for the site. "Are you kidding me?" he explains. "I get these schmucks to log in here and write with some bogus promise of fame and a book deal and they write all this crap that people click on to read. I just kick back and rake in the dough. It's a sweet gig. Every time somebody clicks on one of them ads, I laugh all the way to my paypal account."

ImageImageI went to the doctor the other day.  I showed up fifteen minutes early for my three o'clock appointment.  So I could fill out all the stupid paperwork.

By three, I was ready to be ushered into the back to find out whether or not I should be worried about this nasty rash that popped up out of nowhere.  The rash was down there (pointing south) and Hydrocortisone didn't do jack for me.  So I went to the doctor.

And waited.

ImageImageThe other day I was stopped at a light.  It was nice weather so most people had their car windows down.  Suddenly, from the vehicle behind me, someone yelled.

"Poo Poo!  Hey, Poo Poo!"

I looked into the rear-view mirror and saw a black guy hanging out the passenger-side window of the car behind me, yelling at a girl in the next car.  She looked over and smiled, obviously happy at being called "Poo Poo."

Poo Poo?  I thought.  Her name is Poo Poo?

Why Do Televangelists Look Like Televangelists? PDF Print E-mail
Written by F. Lawrence Caslin   
Tuesday, 15 April 2008

ImageImageEver notice how certain groups of people tend to look the same?  Nerds develop the neat haircut and mismatched clothing.  Construction workers get tattoos and grow stubby beards.  Accountants wear glasses and exfoliate profusely.  And televangelists have helmet coifs and capped teeth.

What's the deal?

Is there a televangelist finishing school deep in the bowels of South Carolina?  You go in with the gift of gab and graduate with the televangelist inflection, new dental work and a large can of hairspray?  Women get the Crayola make-up set and Visine.

ImageImageA couple weeks ago, the illustrious Hannah Montana made an appearance at our fair Coliseum.  Every teenage girl within spitting distance attended.  But it wasn't Hannah who grabbed the headlines, it was the Coliseum management.

From the way the write-up in the paper read, Coliseum officials broke every moral law known to man.  They offended good god-fearing people by pulling a stunt only worthy of the most unscrupulous of humans.

They served beer.
