If you could add this at the bottom, I'd appreciate it.<br /><br />© 2004 by Tom King - used by permission<br /><br />I'm a freelance writer and attaching my byline helps. I wrote the original in 2004 and reposted a revised version in 2009. If you want to use it for a UIL or theater competition contact me through my blog (twayneking.blogspot.com) and I'll send you an official script and permission to use the material. This should satisfy the judges as far as copyrights go. Always glad to help out homeschoolers. Also the piece used coupled with Who's on First as a sample of A&C's style, is a good way to teach young actors how to transfer new material into the same style as the original. A lot of drama teachers have been using it for that. Thanks for respecting my copyright. I know how hard it is to find stuff for homeschool that isn't, well, off-color. Happy home-schooling.<br /><br />Tom King<br />Tom Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700342512275624543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-24613825295263939252014-07-25T23:06:09.452-07:002014-07-25T23:06:09.452-07:00I did write the piece.

If you'd add this line it would make me happy.<br /><br />© 2004 by Tom King<br /> - used by permission (http://twayneking.blogspot.com)<br /><br />The copy you shared apparently lost my byline somewhere along the way. I wrote the piece in 2004. The original post site has been take down, but I reposted it on my own blog here: <br /><br />http://twayneking.blogspot.com/2009/05/costello-calls-to-buy-computer-from.html#.U9NCIaOvOSo <br /><br />It's a little thing but I include the piece in my credits on my resume and uncredited copies of my posts hurt my credibility, especially if they are high ranked on Google.<br /><br />Thanks. I'm flattered you used the piece.<br /><br />Tom King<br /><br />Tom Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700342512275624543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-90063961167338188222009-10-14T10:58:50.986-07:002009-10-14T10:58:50.986-07:00Hi, Thank you for posting this.

In doing so,I also found this guy who says he is the author. Don't know if it is true, but thought I'd let you know. :-)<br />Blessings, Teri<br /><br />http://twayneking.blogspot.com/2009/05/costello-calls-to-buy-computer-from.htmlUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07613740672443564072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-73769553282193731342008-04-05T14:55:00.000-07:002008-04-05T14:55:00.000-07:00If I were the type to c/p that and forward to to t...If I were the type to c/p that and forward to to ten of my friend with the command that they forward to ten of their friends, I totally would.
