Advertising Genius Found Street Side Signed as PR Rep for Dodd/Bartels...

Queens, NY.
Kenny Tafta, street chef, and Long Island City resident for nearly fifteen years was just signed as lead PR Representative for the New York comedians Dodd & Bartels.

"Tafta has the most popular heroes in Queens" explained Bartels, "we wanna be that popular."

A phenomenon that can only be attributed to his unique marketing skills, Tafta has customers lining up around 31st Avenue at lunch time daily. Urging consumers to not "be afraid" when trying his street side cart lunches, and using positive expressions such as "yah" and "yahhh" has helped his sales flourish in this shaky economic time.

"I usually get the falafel." Smiled Dodd.

When asked for a comment, Tafta quipped "I sell hot meat for a living, this shouldn't be much different."

Dodd and Bartels are booked to perform at The Neptune Diner through the holidays in a comedy sensation entitled They're Good, Don't be Afraid, Just Try Them, Yahhh.

In 1993...

A 10 year old "Jenny" Dodd wrote in her diary:

"Maybe I'm not normel. I'm breaking out in tiny zits! Maybe I'll make them look like freckels. I hate this pre teen stuff. Life's hard. Jonathan Brandis is so cute. I want to do it with him and I want a baby. I wish I could meat him."

A Bad Lunch.


As the giant soup can crept quietly behind the unsuspecting Janie to ravage and murder her, he thought to himself "I hope she's not a screamer. That would be SOUPer."

Alexa Vaughn. 54. New York, NY


This is Alexa. She is the musical director for a children's theatre in New York City. She stands while she plays the piano, and has a high soprano singing voice with a very slow and deliberate vibrato.

Alexa Vaughn says things like, "I'm grateful and humbled to be on this artistic journey with you." She once told a 9 year old actress that she would be a more entertaining singer if her figure was "more pleasing". Alexa then winked sweetly and patted her knee.

She has a Border Collie named Zacharia that she won in a divorce settlement from her first and only husband, Keith. She never pets Zacharia because she's afraid of getting her fingers dirty, but she will occasionally sing for him.

When she sings Zacharia hides under the couch. The sound reminds him of the time his mother was hit by a train car when he was just a pup. Zacharia has nightmares, and worries that losing his mother at such a young age is the cause of his homosexuality and inability to commit.

Alexa likes the smell of steamed broccoli and has it almost every night for dinner. Alone. Always alone.

Women who are probably named Linda.

Example #1. This is Linda of the "Connecticut Linda's". She wears carmex and drives an aqua Taurus. She always has kleenex in her purse, but they're usually warm, slightly crumpled and semi questionable. She probably goes sailing once a year.

Example #2. "Older Linda" who was once "Sporty Linda". She still does things to "keep active". Low level sports, like golf or occasionally tennis. She always brings potato salad to the party (the kind made with mustard, not mayo).


Example #3. In this photo, you'll find Linda on the left. This is "mid-western Linda". She is one of your grandmother's friend's from high school. She is now the secretary there. She wears sweat shirts that say "Go Tigers" on game day with a matching turtle neck underneath. She is sitting by Dorothy.
