The book has a website now, which should really help confuse folks even more because if I'm not dragging them here or to briansack.com, they can now be pointed towards myuntimelydemise.com. There's also an email list there so you'll always be at peak awareness when it comes to book-related things, if you're so inclined.
What would be really smart would be one all-encompassing website. Maybe instead of Banterist I should have just named the site after myself, like Andrew Sullivan. But I didn't. I felt Banterist, as a written humor site, should be separate from briansack.com which was originally meant for casting directors. Rather than casting directors it seems to be a valuable resource for people asking me to forward songs to John Mayer, or how to get into acting. The answers being no and don't, respectively.
Speaking of acting: Last week I played a doctor for the pee-pee drug Flomax. Then I was a voice in an awesome video game that a thick non-disclosure agreement prevents me from elaborating on. And then I wrote an article and proofread the book for the ten-thousandth time. Focusing on one career would be great. Then I'd only need one URL.
Kudos to my sparring partner on his $50 million dollar contract. Mother of god.
I guess I have a topic for next week's Public Viewer.

Hope you're working on "In the unlikely event of my becoming Born Again or reincarnated and having to go through that untimely demise thing for a second time : 20 things my daughter needs to know."
[ Just cross out "son" and write in "daughter" and it'll all still make sense. Except maybe the paragraph about the chrum. -B. ]

Flomax, the drug that caught my attention from the kitchen during the Super Bowl (where it played non-stop) when the announcer guy listed the potential side effects:
Common side effects of FLOMAX are runny nose, dizziness and decrease in semen.
Somewhere out there is a lab assistant whose job was to determine the effect of Flomax on the volume of semen. I wonder if they put it on their resume?
[ Funny you should mention that, because on the set the writer was actually discussing what they call retrograde ejaculation. Basically, instead of going to the normal place(s) it goes to your bladder. As someone who played a doctor, I find that medically nasty. -B. ]

I thought you had another son? Shouldn't it be sons?
[ That complicates things. If I ever have a daughter I'm in trouble though. -B. ]

Will you be able to elaborate about the awesome video game in the future?
Can I suggest calculating what $50 mil could have bought? ... I guess I just did.
[ $50 million would buy a lot of video games. -B. ]

hey Brian,
I was just watching the Quill awards. Hope to see you on them soon. Also, I had a thought . . . you HAVE TO send Oprah a copy of your book. ; ) -dotsy

I clicked away to the NY Times to read about Beck's career and windfall.
I'd seen him, via your site, so many times.
But it turns out he's also a comedian.
Who knew?
P.S.: If you did the VO on a Glenn Beck video game, that'd punch up the ol' CV.
