Various Happenstances of Seth

    For the past few years, the best place to find details about my life has been my blog, which I posted on my WSO page. I will leave the archives up there for now, but since March of 2005, I've been making my new blog updates right here on RisingPun.com:

What Seth Brown is saying about Seth Brown

 

    I am a freelance humorist specializing in writing, and a freelance writer specializing in humor. I have written columns for the Providence Journal, Williams Record, Berkshire Advocate, and GenerationJ.com. I appear frequently in the Washington Post's Style Invitational, and infrequently in random other places like the Warwick Beacon and the Patriot Ledger. I have written impromptu rhyming replies which I gave as floor speeches in response to public policy debates by various political illuminati. My first book, Think You're The Only One?, was recently published.

    I inhale and exhale humor, unwilling and perhaps unable to live without it. I am a wordsmith, bending language to my will, oft in service of the aforementioned humor goal. I enjoy eating and gaming with friends. I am fluent in Pig Latin and know how to say "Your dog is in the microwave" in five languages. I gave up piano for the kazoo, and formed a classical kazoo quintet which gave a command performance of Pachelbel's Canon. I have an unnatural fondness for fondue, and an insatiable penchant for punnery. I, unlike Bob Dole, don't mind writing in the first person occasionally.

Huzzah, the end of another Internet self-summary. I wonder if some of the famous names needed explanation. Well, Dan Savage is a widely syndicated sex advice columnist, Gene Weingarten is the Washington Post's humor columnist, Pat Buchanan is a former presidential candidate, and if you don't know who Dave Barry is, I'm not going to tell you.
