WELCOME TO
THE CARNIVAL OF GLEE. Can't you just smell the elephants? For anyone with a hankerin' to date the bearded lady - or be the
bearded lady for that matter - this is the site for you!
Do you enjoy essays about politics, life and popular culture?
Want to read about the latest in science? It's all here - most likely being made fun of, vented about, or both. And if you
can't tell the funny stuff from the serious stuff, well, just remember this is the media in the modern age.
Plus,
we're very excited about our "Really Short Fiction" page. The only thing better than a short story is a REALLY short
story. And we've got 'em; brief works of fiction that offer that little dollop of ice cream on top of your carnival corn
dog.
See that creepy hand in the upper right corner of your screen? That's the hand of Arnie the Carnie. Arnie's
been with the Carnival of Glee for decades. He's done it all: sold tickets, guessed people's weight, mopped out the roller
coaster, rigged the dart-throwing game. Everything. Sure the body odor and wandering glass eye are unsettling, but we love
him all the same.
This is not a traditional carnival: no long lines, teenagers dressed in sweaty, bulbous-headed
licensed character costume, or food on sticks. This is a Carnival of Glee - that state of mind where mere happiness just isn't
enough.
This website is devoted to the open examination - and frequently open ridicule - of all things: politics,
art, culture, and life. In these pages, you'll find topical humor and the occasional serious thought. If you want cotton candy,
bring your own.
And if you're afraid of clowns, well, maybe skip the pieces about Congress. Hahahaha! That's the
kind of fine humor you'll get at this website and our sister blog at www.carnivalglee.blogspot.com
Groan if you want, but just remember how much you paid to get in here.
If that's not enough, you can also visit us on MySpace. http://www.myspace.com/williampepper040 Too
lazy to actually do the reading yourself? Then check out the latest episode of our Carnival Pod-Cast. Don't feel bad about
taking the attention-span-defeating tendencies of the Internet and watering your ability to focus even more. It's all good.
Remember, anyone can be happy. Only a few achieve glee.

Here's me with two of the fine actors at the 2009 Quad City Playwrights' Festival, where my short
play "Scissors" debuted. The festival was held at Augustana College, Rock Island, IL.

RATED #1 WEBSITE AMONG COMEDY'S GOLDEN AGE COMEDIANS!

This is my cat Sneezer. As you can see, she's very tired.
Probably because she writes most of the content for this site. And, being without thumbs, she's relegated to "hunt and peck."
Poor kitty.
