SOMEWHERE IN CYBERSPACE Mild-mannered shoe salesman Homer Clark always aspired to dare to be a jerk. He wanted nothing more than to be able to fight back with those nasty, biting comments that he always thinks about but never dares to use. He wanted to humiliate and mentally destroy his stupid customers. But it was his job to be nice. He was a shoe salesman.
So Clark continued to smile and ignore his customers’ stupid comments. Because the customer is always right. And if a salesman is rude, the customer will never come back. But it was starting to drive him insane. He needed an outlet.
If he wasn’t rude and evil to someone, he’d just explode.
That’s when Clark discovered chat rooms. It was the perfect opportunity to be rude and nasty to everyone with whom he came into contact—and no one would know who he was.
So that’s how it began. Every day after work, Clark comes home and selects a random chat room. Ad then he’ll thoroughly harass anyone who will listen. Sometimes he goes to the bird lovers’ chat room and tells stories about how he hit a bird with his car on the way to work. Sometimes he’ll go to the single women’s chat room and tell them they must really be fat if they’re still single. And sometimes he’ll go to the Britney Spears fan room. That’s his favorite.
Thanks to HomerCShoeGuy’s evening pass-time, he’s a much calmer, gentler shoe salesman. He lets go of all of his frustrations, so he can deal with stupid customers again in the morning.
Kristin Dreyer Kramer has been writing in some form or another (usually when she was supposed to be doing something else) since the ripe old age of ten—when she, her cousin, and their two Cabbage Patch Dolls formed the Poo Authors’ Club. After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
Kristin lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband, Paul, and their daughter, Anna. She welcomes questions, comments, and fan mail at kdk@nightsandweekends.com.
