   I was the “douchebag,” but you didn’t really read my second e-mail. I left my e-mail account open in front of another bored comic on the road who is friends with Brendan and wanted to prank both of us. Since everyone thinks Brendan is dead and that I’m a dick, I guess it was effective. Appreciate the name calling.

   Mark:

   We didn’t mention any names… unless you go by the name, “Douchebag.”

   Seriously, we didn’t i.d. you.

   And, to be quite honest, it wasn’t entirely clear from the second email that it was someone else (and not you) who hit “send” on the first one.

   Regardless, we didn’t out you.

   And, since you hit “Reply All” on both emails (and since, even after that, “everyone thinks you’re a dick,” apparently everyone else was a little hazy as to the authorship.

   Some day, we’ll all look back on this and LAUGH!

   Mark,

   You should out the douchebag that did it, and you should spell Brendon’s name right.

   Let’s just be honest and admit that ALL comics have douchebag in them, some more than others. Me included. Funny thing is, I’m sure people called Brendon trying to find out if he was dead which means probably every phone call went like this

   Brendon: “Hello”
   Random comic: “Brendan? Are you dead?”

   Shecky: Apologies if I sounded short and I realize that you didn’t out me, but you and I knew that it was me, and as someone who’s read your site for years it felt like a personal attack on my end. What I’m saying is that you may not know me, but I kind of felt like I knew you.

   Plus the 305 people the email went out to include a lot of comics and bookers, which dovetails with your readership, THEY know who you called a douchebag.

   The text of my second email, the one I actually wrote, said: “Never leave your email open around bored dudes.” I’ll admit that I could have been more clear — I ran back in the hotel once I got texts that let me know what had happened — but I had to be on stage in 20 minutes and was in a hurry. But it doesn’t make sense that I was the sender of the first email, unless you think I was advising people not to leave their e-mail open in front of themselves.

   Anywho, it’s been two days, could you do me a completely undeserved favor and update the blog entry (the part people actually read)? I’d appreciate it, for reasons that aren’t completely clear to even me. If not, I understand. I was a print reporter before I did this and I know you can’t take editorial direction from the unwashed masses.

   BEN: I’m not outing anyone. Since no one actually died, I’m not sure a trial is necessary. But Brendon knows and he can tell you, if he wants.

   I suspect that the douchebag that started the Brendon Walsh is dead rumor was Gene Hackman
