Burn While I Laugh, Ryan

Ok, so the title seems a little sadistic, I know, but after you read this post, you’ll get the point. I’m not being cruel or sadistic, or even demented, I promise.

This post is a shameless promotion for Ryan D. Scott’s latest foray into the online community, because I think Ryan is awesome and he tapped me on the shoulder for a little link love. MakeComedy is the brainchild of Ryan, formerly known as Oktober5 and sometimes seen hanging out with that bad boy, Matthew Dryden.

Ryan’s new niche site gives readers tips on how to “create better comedy.” Okay, so SEO isn’t very funny, and most of my posts about Christianity and business ethics lean more toward practical. I’m just a practical kinda girl, but I’ll admit, I could use more funny. We could all use more funny, more smiles.

People like to laugh, and no matter what your reasons for hanging out on the Net, a little funny can help. And Ryan knows comedy.

Take for example his description of Matthew for the About Page of TheCompletists:

Matthew is the kind of man that you usually hear referred to as “a quiet guy” by neighbors being interviewed in front of a yellow police tape festooned house, buzzing with police, and several authorities removing numerous large, bulky bags while a backhoe operator jumps from his vehicle yelling, “I think we found even MORE in the back yard!”

Actually, Matthew is an up-and-coming writer and spoken-word poet, who loves to violate the dictionary in many different ways.

Okay, so that one is mostly funny because it is true.

The website is fairly new, but I’ve already bookmarked it so I don’t miss out on any of the great posts that are sure to come in the following weeks. One of my favorite thus far is Ryan’s feature post about comedian Damon Scott. If you only click through on one link today, make it this one. You’ve got to see Damon’s act. (I just LOVE that monkey!) It will make you smile, guaranteed.
