Fractured fairy tales from a 50-something
How Rich Could I Get Writing In My Underwear?
17Feb2008 Filed under: Get rich quick, life chronicles, Youth impaired Author: bobwayne
I just saw a piece on the news about The Naked Cowboy. He’s the guy who stands around in New York’s Times Square in his tighty-whities, cowboy boots and cowboy hat playing guitar and singing. That’s not news. I’m sure we’ve all seen him on TV at one time or another or at least heard of him.
What’s news is that M&Ms came out with a line of M&Ms in briefs, cowboy hat and boots. Turns out, The Naked Cowboy is a trademarked image and name. He’s suing for 6 million dollars. And his attorney says he has a real good case. (Did I mention The Naked Cowboy averages $300 an hour doing what he’s doing?)
So what the hell am I doing wrong?
I figure it’s only a matter of time before someone starts writing their blog on a webcam in their underwear (or naked). (I know somewhere in Europe they have the naked news.)
Of course, at the ripe and stinky age of 50, if I started writing my blog in my underwear on a webcam, I’d get reactions of “Eeeoooo!” and “Yuck!” and “Ethel, you git yer clothes on!”
Alas for the decrepitness of advancing age.
PS If you have any ideas how I can capitalize on this phenomenon, don’t hesitate to comment…
PSS Hey, how about The Naked Piggy? He’s already a celebrity. And he’s always naked. in fact, here he is now taking his morning bath…really.

The best explanation I can think of is to listen to the Bob Wayne's Weblog theme song. Yes, that's right, I have a theme song (conveniently stolen from "What Do You Want From Life" by The Tubes). Enjoy and don't forget to tell me what you really think!Official Bob Wayne's Blog Theme Song

Yes, Piggy is sitting in the oven. But I swear it's just to keep warm here in Minnesota!
(Disclaimer - No Piggies were roast... er.. hammed... uh.. harmed in the bast... er.. taking of this picture - really)

Bwahaha, Piggy in the crock pot!
I don’t know what you can do to make money in your underwear. My Catholic upbringing forbids me to even think about it.

When you’re a little piggy, you have to dispose of, uh, I mean, uh, use what’s at your disposal. As for your Catholic upbringing, my mom was a Southern Baptist. I’ll probably burn in hell just for writing “naked”.
