Ways In Which My Life Has Changed Since Becoming The Pitch’s “Best Comedy Blog”

  • People are starting to recognize me on the street and say things like, “Why are you laying on the street?”
  • Many local bars stopped charging me for ice.
  • My self-esteem has reached levels I haven’t experienced since puberty.
  • The city decided to change the name of Avenida Cesar E Chavez to Chris M Riebschlager Avenue.
  • Googling my name now shows more results for my blog, fewer results for “lewd conduct conviction.”
  • I’m once again allowed inside the Ward Parkway Target store, on a trial basis.
  • Food just seems to taste better now.
