Despite the amount of effort that Jake and I put into creating our wonderful header, it's getting a little old.



For one thing, I'm tired of light blue. For another, Jake's caricatures of us don't look like us anymore.



Jake grew his hair out and I'm continuing to grow my hair out. I'm trying to go for all of 2008 without cutting it.


I think I'm about to crack, though. It's getting unbearably long.

So, whenever we get around to it, Jake and I are cooking up a new header.

Also, poll videos are on the way.

Once there was a boy who was running late to school

when he suddenly stumbled upon something...convenient.



A little rough on the edges...but deadlines always come quicker then re-shoots do.

Feel free to steal my realistic technique of "hitting a person with a car."

If you watch the video directly beneath this...you'll see a better technique of that...

For physics class, Jake and I had to make a series of pictures demonstrating physics concepts.

So, being the over-achievers that we are (heh...) we made a video instead.



Jake somehow got credit for this in his history class as well, even though the two seconds of historical content was made up.

Now that the school year is over, I have gathered all my videos from my video-tech class.
Here's my first one.

Assignment: Create a video with an interview and parallel footage.

A deadly plague is running throughout our school. Its name: Beachemitis.
Here is my interview with Dr. V.X. Sarlow, a researcher of this horrible plague.

In April 1985, it is rumored that a collection of executives gathered at their corporate headquarters for an emergency meeting. On the table before them sat six small canisters which had been smuggled from their chief competitor's manufacturing plant. Inside the metal cylinders lurked a secret compound which represented the next strike in a long-running war: an altered version of their rival's incredibly successful Merchandise 7X. It was scheduled for release within mere days, and these men had assembled to assess the threat. They were aware that billions of dollars were at stake, but the true power of the revised chemistry was beyond their reckoning. Ultimately, the contents of these canisters would plunge the United States into a surreal turmoil the likes of which had never before been seen.

The 72 ounces of fluid were portioned into sampling containers and passed around the room with earnest resolve. Each man inspected his sample by ingesting it orally, then smacking his tongue to allow the solution full access to his taste buds. The men's impressions were mixed, yet the Pepsi officials were forced to acknowledge that this "New Coke" represented a serious threat.

Today, the New Coke debacle of 1985 is usually looked upon as a blunder of monumental proportions; however the ill-fated reformulation ultimately became one of the most fortuitous and informative failures in human history.

You are having a bad day when…

your job seems totally overwhelming… really.

as does your weekend home improvement project

 Your cars horsepower gets an extra horse

 You need a larger squeegee

 

 The plane just falls apart at the seams

You end in some deep water

This may be against  OSHA rules (the occupational safety folks), but sure is a sick stunt

Here's the final one!

Enjoy!

This is a joke, but somehow it seems to be repeated on the news nightly, go figure…

“I’ve sure gotten old,” said Maury the Snitch. “I’ve had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees.

I fought prostate cancer and diabetes. I’m half blind, can’t hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.

I have bouts with dementia, such poor circulation that I can hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.

Sheesh, I can’t even remember if I’m 26, or 62, or 86!
Plus, I’ve lost all my friends….

But thank God, I still have my driver’s license!”

How to make sure the same telemarketer never calls you back, well, here are a few ideas to get them as frustrated with you as you are with them, Screwing with the telemarketers.

Some of these are pretty funny, others, well not as great, but either way, still great pranks to play on the hard working people that work their asses off to annoy us at 9AM in the morning of our days off.

1. Talk really fast.
2. Turn on the TV. Change the channel to one that only gets static. Turn the volume up really loud. Say that you can’t hear them over the static.
3. Make up your own language. Speak it.
4. Hang up.
5. Make up a one word language. Speak it.
6. Say, “This phone line is for emergency use only. Do you have an emergency?”
7. If they say “Yes” to number 6 say, “Please state the nature of the emergency.” Then insist that their emergency isn’t an emergency. Hang up.
8. If they say “No” to number 6 say, “I’m sorry but this line is for emergencies only.” Hang up.
9. Pretend you just took hostages, and make demands.
10. Pretend that you are a hostage negotiator, and try to get the telemarketer to release the hostages.
11. (more…)
