Look, I’m a busy guy. I have a comprehensive Minor League Promotions spreadsheet to maintain. I’m married. I have to walk to the subway every morning. And the avalanche of emails in my assorted gmail, hotmail, yahoo, and outlook accounts don’t answer themselves. In fact, they don’t even open themselves. They just sit there.
The exceedingly busy nature of my life is such that I often don’t have the time to do quality posts on this blog (including the dearly-beloved “Book Club” and “Haikukovic” series’). Fortunately, genius streams forth from me at all times, even when I am instant messaging with my lover/enemy/muse Tom Lorenzo. Earlier today, Mr. Lorenzo inquired about what I was doing at work:
[15:29] awesomeben: everything and nothing
[15:29] awesomeben: the sum of existence
[15:29] awesomeben: encompassed in every work day
[15:29] awesomeben: that’s a haiku!
[15:30] awesomeben: everything, nothing/ is encompassed in each day/ sum of existence
[15:34] dumbtom: there’s a post
[15:35] awesomeben: Done
So, this is what passes for a post these days, apparently. It can only get better from here, folks. Or, at the very least, it can’t get any worse.
The Sketchies are upon us! Excuse me, the second installment of the Sketchies are upon us. What are the Sketchies? It’s a sketch comedy video contest that groups, more motivated than yours truly, submit to be judged upon by a panel of heavenly YouTube Lords. Of course we didn’t submit one. We’re too busy writing Weird Al haiku’s. For real.
But, we do have favorites! Boy do we ever! First, though, let’s get these goddamn rules out of the way.
1) The primary topic of initial Video Submission must be about or prominently feature a ‘road trip’. For example the person(s) in the video will be taking a road trip, talking about a road trip and/or looking at pictures from a road trip etc.
2) A featured member of the cast in the initial Video Ssubmission must interact with a recognizable musical instrument such as a guitar, violin, piano, kazoo, oboe etc.
Awful. I hate reading rules, brah. Well, without further ado, friends, family, and Sepultura fans, we give your – our favorites.
