I'm very glad somebody else is as annoyed with the bucket list thing as i am.

School discos when I was a kid were horrible. I didn't dance either, but once I did get into a fight with a girl who was much bigger than me.

Afterwards the teachers forced us to apologise to each other. She complimented me on my upper-cut.

I wish I was making this up.

A Ze impersonator you most certainly are not, but the factor that compels me to watch this silly low-production value thing on a regular basis is the same as it was with Mr. Frank: originality. Too many internet video personalities are just someone with boobs, a twitter account, and a virtual set. For a platform that really excites me, there are way too many online video shows that just aggregate popular online content (be it digg headlines, twitter buzz, memes, mac news, etc).

I enjoy your picks because not only are they not the same bullshit that my feed reader told me about a few days ago, but because they are really just a gateway into a monologue about what role those things play in your actual life. And sadly, actual personality is a rare thing to come across in this echoey place called the internet. Thanks for just turning on a camera and being your (assumed as fictional) self.

Thanks for the nod over to archive.org for Jean Shepherd's stuff. Definitely going to be spending some time in my ears very soon.

Merlin, finding this very inspirational to getting my own daily creative ass in gear. Can you share what you use to make these. Is it just quick and dirty iMovie then out in h264?

Brilliant! I laughed and laughed. Thing is for comedy to work, it has to be genuine and based enough on reality for the departure to be really really funny. Great job! Thanks!

True Story: The only time I've ever been in a real lighted disco was when I was a kid and stumbled upon a fully lighted disco floor in the basement of a Pizza Hut. It exists in Fredericksburg, VA and is still standing. I wish we had our school dances there because all the lights would have made avoiding girls even easier. Good luck on Sunday!

Pretend-Butt-Sex was not allowed at my Catholic School dances. We had to have Pretend-Pretend-Butt-Sex. Yeah, figure that one out.

Ah, pretending. Somehow I feel this parody audio interview of Tim Ferriss is particularly apropos: tinyurl.com/bzuy8k
