Get the Ball Rolling!

The biggest challenge is the material. What do I want to say? How will I format it so that you will identify? Where should I focus my energy? Who is my audience?

Would you be so kind as to post a comment and remind me of the funniest story that I have ever told you?

Peace, Love and Freak me Freakpot, I'm on FIRE!
xoT.

Hey Duffy!
The best part of any of your stories is in your physicality. I don't know about funniest, but most memorable was probably POP. Tis all, happy to hear about this starting up! Best of luck!

Jesus, i don't know where to start. I think i'll email you for discretion purposes.
But off the top of my head - the story of your elementary/high school/college days - being terrified of the "tough" girls - and shaving your head.
I think you told that story at every dance-a-thon and had me wetting my pants each time.

ps - more to come ... i'll keep it in mind and come up with some memories - if you save your emails, you could always look at my sign-offs at the end of each email for some ideas!
But we'll discuss via email or at dance class.

much love.

my my my...tara duffy
its been quite a long time.
funniest thing was i just told someone a story of yours the other day LOL (no names of course)...

Ok in order of comedy...
(1) the peeing pants and students carrying your desk to the bathroom...i love that one haha
(2) the comic book store incident
(3) the time you wanted to be cool and go bike riding with the boys...punch line: you took off yur shirt and freaked out your mom...classic
(4) i remember something about you falling out of a tree...just remember the description of the fall and that was freakin hilarious

ok that is all i can think of right now, but i must commend you on wanting to meet Conan..he is my idol, and if you get on...HOOK UP with the ticks! heck yes!
ps. hornymanatee.com is greatness!

Miss ya, hope all is well!

Shaving of the head? Sounds familiar...hmmm...oh yes, memory of being intense and crazed, pumped and terrified...laughing and more fits of laughter amongst the tears. Make me laugh and wet my pants again and again...Tell your tales Tara, especially the embarassing ones! I promise, I'll always laugh!

This is not so much a funny story you told, but I truely believe that the greatest of all funny stories can be found in the serious dorkness that was highschool. Think back to the boyfriend with the mullet (we all had them), the pink strapless prom dress and the big hair (we either all had this, or really wanted to know just how to get all that height). All of this has countless punchlines that ANYONE, who is honest about how much of a "I'm trying to be cool" dork they were, could appreciate.

Seriously Tara, it's your take on the honest situations of life that always had me laughing the most.

Good luck with all of this, and if you need any help, let me know. I'd love to help however I can!

Duffy, Duffy, Duffy.... where to begin?... I think I will have to come back here and keep posting as random things come to mind.....
but right now off the top of my head....
"Anywhere but Asia...."
"Are you half-black?"
The first time I had you peeing your pants.... "No... I booked the photocopier!"
"Same same ....but different"
"Yoga for moms"
Okay... thats enough right now... I love this project and can't wait to watch it all play out---
you are such a superstar... you rock my world!

Tara my love...you have always been a gianormous sources of laughter and energy! Sometimes I think of you as the energizer bunny. Don't you ever get tired?!
The Laughing Song gets me EVERY time. The stand up pee/poo pots in Thailand was an interesting visual. The year you invited me to Red Feather...funny now but not then. I know there is much more and as I remember I will definitly post. You would be a challenge for Conan...even in his greatness. You accomplish everything you put your mind too and this will be no less a feat! Carry on...

One word for you.

how about the crazy night with "smeegal" ... when you stepped on Jen's knee as she was sleeping because you thought were blind----hahahahah... i am laughing out loud thinking about it----

....or sitting on the bamboo raft in the middle of a river in Thailand with the crazy man who insisted that we steer the boat while we serenaded him with "Welcome to the Jungle"

... or there was the time you peed your pants (wait... I think people have mentioned that before...)
