Powerpoint Conspiracy Karaoke
Having complely killed at Power Point Karaoke today, I’m sharing my performance from last year’s panel. It was the first time it had been done at CONvergence and I had to go first. I think I did OK.
This year I killed it. I know I keep saying that. But I totally killed it.
I Hate Brian Keene
Actually, I don’t Hate Brian Keene. I just used that title as a hook.
Last year at CONvergence, I was on Iron Artist as a snobby French Beat Poet. This is a video of the poem I wrote. Be sure to watch to the end to see some terrific drawings!
New stuff with the funny and the jokes!
There is a whole ton of new stuff at the Vilification Tennis website and, as things work out sometimes, I wrote a lot of it.
So, if you’d like to read a silly piece about The Supreme Court decision, you can do that!
I also wrote a Movie Dick article about Brave.
And there is a new podcast up and available for your listening pleasure!
As if all of that wasn’t enough, we have a video of the CONvergence 2011 grudge match between Brian Keene and C. Robert Cargill!
There’s other stuff too – it’s a big week. That’s just the stuff I wrote/am in.
Vilification Tennis Geek Show Art!
So I’m going to come right out and admit that the art for the July Vilification Tennis show looks like really bad photoshopping.
The good news: That was the point! Bad photoshopping is a geek thing. About the only thing missing from the image is a cat. John is so good at photoshop, he can make his photoshopping look bad on purpose.
I’m sure this one is going to be a portfolio piece for him.
Look ma, another Shatner!
One more picture from “The Complete Works of William Shatner (Abridged)!” Brandon Ewald as Young William Shatner! I’m finally doing a show where someone is in a toga.
Thank goodness it isn’t me.
Making with the Comedy and the Jokes
Another Monday and more new funny stuff over at the Vilification Tennis website!
The seventh episode of our podcast is up and I think it is one of our best so far. At least we had fun recording it.
I also have a new Movie Dick article up about Prometheus. It is all satirical and stuff.
And hey, this Friday is Vaudevilification Tennis at the Bryant Lake Bowl. It’s going to be all sorts of funny so please go.
Shit that Pissed me off This Week – 6/15
Megachurch Pastor Beats up his Daughter and his Flock Praises him for it
Let me begin by saying that I don’t know if his daugter’s allegations are true. But let’s just assume for a moment that he did, in fact, “put his hands around her throat and…then slammed her to the ground, punched her and beat her with his shoe. ”
How many parents think that is appropriate behavior towards one’s child? Teenagers can be a pain in the ass, I get it.
But choking, throwing to the ground and beating with a shoe?
Here’s what one of his supporters who seems to accept his daughters’ allegations had to say:
101 likes for kids getting their ass beat!!!!! God bless America!
Holy shit people! He was beating the shit out of her before she called the cops! That isn’t discipline. That is abuse.
Positively dripping with comedy!
Monday morning means that my peeps at Vilification Tennis have posted new content! In addition to all the funny stuff my colleagues have submitted, I have two new comedy things to check out.
First is a new Movie Dick article about the MTV Movie Awards.
AND, we did a bonus Podcast this week! Joseph Scrimshaw came to the basement studio and spent the majority of our 70 minutes vigorously defending Axl Rose. We talked about other stuff but you will be amazed at how much time we spent on Axl Rose.
New comdey! Waka Waka!
This Monday, I have two new silly bits over at the Vilification Tennis Website.
The first is a Movie Dick article that takes aim at “Twilight” fans. I know, I know, easy target.
The second is a new episode of our Vilification Tennis Podcast – Episode 5, Geoffrey’s Rastafarian Balls.
Shit that Pissed me Off this Week – 6/1
Missed last week because I was on vacation so here’s a couple weeks’ worth of annoyances.
Disney Changes it’s FastPass System – Sort of
I’m not going to try to explain the whole thing but the basic issue is that Disney has a system wherein you can get a pass that will allow you to go to the front of the line for various popular rides. The catch is that you can’t go on the ride until a particular time. So if you want to go on Space Mountain, you get a fast pass for – say – 10:00 and come back later rather than waiting in a 40 minute line.
Now the fast passes have always given you an hour window. If your pass starts at 10:00, it ends at 11:00. Except it never did. They have been honored all day for as long as the system has been around (over ten years now).
Until now. Now if you have a fast pass that says 10:00 to 11:00, you’d better get there between 10:00 and 11:00. No exceptions.
So great – if I’ve got a lunch reservation at one and the fast pass time available is 1:00 to 2:00, I’m out of luck. This wouldn’t bug me so much if the rules had always been that way. No matter what it says on the pass, though, they have never enforced it. Until now.
It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing.
Why did they do it? I don’t know for sure but I would guess they did it to cut down on the wait in the standby line. I would imagine most people using a fast pass wait well past the posted time on their pass and that serves to back up the standby line more and more as the day progresses. Most people with a 9:45 fast pass don’t show up until much later. I know I didn’t . Also, by having the fast pass expire, not everyone who gets one will end up using it. Overall, it means fewer people going through the fast pass line every hour which means the standby line is probably at least fifteen minutes faster.
That’s great for them. But what about me?
