Sooner or later, I will be able to promote MYSELF but in the meantime:

Mitchell, I’m going to kill you for that photo! I wish I could fly out there and see it!


I was wondering what I was going to do for my Xmas cards this year.
Now I know.
hahahahahaha
I love the idea of sending out this bitter jaded card of an over-it Elf!!
Mitchell, I love the look of your character here. I wish I could make it out there for this.
I cannot stop laughing at the absurdity of that picture. It’s brilliant.
And Lisa – I may steal your idea.
I cannot look at that picture anymore. He’s looking directly at me….
I know. It’s really disturbing. You know he’s just so OVER you.
And the eyes follow you around the room too.
I think my mother has a Santa mug just like that one….
It’s the SAME DEAD EYES AS THE UNABOMBER PHOTO.
I.CAN’T.BREATHE. haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahhhahhahahahahahahaha!!!!
Yes! He is the Unabomber!!
You’re right Meredith! He is looking directly at you!
hey thanks Sheil-babe..if people want to come..look for The Santaland Diaries..the piece is from the book Holidays on Ice..and now that u cant smoke in Chicago theaters…the cig and the mug are no longer part of the show..but the martini remains!
Mitchell, that is hilarious. I so wish I could see it.
i do pvt parties!!!! just feed me..pour me a stiff one and i’ll start yapping…i memorized 35 pages…ill do it anywhwere!!!
You and your stiff ones…
I AIN’T ABOVE IT.
I would WALK to New York to see this. I am a HUGE David Sedaris fan and how can you not go see a Mitchell elf???
I would walk…except it’s really a long way from Texas…and I’m kinda lazy.
errr…I meant Chicago.
God..why won’t I learn…preview is your friend???
De….Chicago is much closer than Nyc…if u start walking this afternoon?????
De:
how can you not go see a Mitchell elf???
hahahahahaha I agree entirely!!
Maybe your library needs to sponsor Mitchell to come down and do the show next year!
Great idea Mitchell…and I wore heels to work. ;)
Sheila, do you think this uptight community could handle a chain-smoking, martini-swilling Elftchill?
I’m on it!
