		Plagiarize Yourself by Lank
May 29th, 2007 9:06 PM
		
			I was just looking over tasks and realized that I completed this one today. That's saying something, since I originally didn't believe that this task was possible. I looked up the definition of "plagiarise", just to be sure, and found this: "plagiarise - verb: take without referencing from someone else's writing or speech; of intellectual property"
Pretty much all of my friends know that my catch phrase is "Who's gonna stop me?!" (See my Player Page, for example.) This catch phrase came about years ago while hanging out in a diner with my friend Maurie, who during our meal suggested that I should have a catch phrase. He regretted the suggestion, because it resulted in me screaming "Who's gonna stop me!?" in the crowded diner and eliciting lots of attention and a variety of responses. As we left, a busboy told me to be careful, because someone might try to stop me.
I've been writing a serialized play that has been appearing in a late night theatre show called Serial Killers. (Shameless plug: It's fun - if you live in L.A., check it out!) The play is called Barbara!, and it's about a sweetly megalomaniacal 14-year-old girl who decides she's going to kick the President in the nuts.
So guess what I did? I decided to steal my own catch phrase and give it to Barbara. And since in the script I do not reference myself as the source, I have plagiarised myself. Below I present a snippet of the script as proof:

						I give you a vote now that you included the comment the busboy made (my favorite part of the story).

I too have wondered if this task is almost impossible. I think you did it!
Now shouldn't you be punished or something?
