Tampa, FL by way of St. Louis, MO

Nathan DeGraaf graduated fucking years ago with a BA in Creative Writing from the University of South Florida, which he still lives near because college chicks are the best. On weekday evenings, Nate can typically be found at any one of a number of North Tampa bars. On weekends, he typically cannot be found. When not drinking, fishing, watching sports, or having sex, Nathan likes to read, play the harmonica, and show up for work. Throughout the course of his life, he has been arrested six times because, as his father has often said, "the kid is fucking stupid."

Comedy Writing

The Snippets Have No Excuse

Me: This is Nathan.<br />Brad: Nate dog. What is up?<br />Me: Brad, how's life in St. Louis?<br />Brad: It's cold and blizzardy and wintery and frosty with a touch of shivery.<br />Me: That sounds horrible.<br />Brad: Yeah. That's why I'm in Tampa. What you doing tonight?<br /><br />Frank: You play poker?<br />Dave: Does a pope shit on a bear?<br />Frank: No.

Observations Like an Ancient Rope

Is it still polite to open a door for a woman if the door happens to lead to the room where a gang rape is about to occur? I say no, but I ain't no etiquette specialist.<br /><br />I like to think that if Jesus were around today, he would totally dig my new shoes. I'm christian when it comes to the kicks.<br />

On Time with the Snippets This Time

Me: What did you think about the investment piece I wrote?<br />Court: It was? surprisingly informative. <br />Me: What the fuck was surprising about it?<br />Court: I mean, I'm sure you're good at your job. I just don't think our readers equate the kind of work you do with your kind of writing. <br />Me: So work in some more dick jokes?<br />Court: I? ummm? whatever, man. <br />
