I make short videos, write, perform a puppetshow in my basement called Mr. Thing & Mr. Place that might still be airing on Chicago Public Access. All episodes can be viewed online, and the first four seasons are available on DVD ($10 + $2 shipping, with some bonus shorts).
I am also one-half of Oak Park's most dangerous anti-folkists, The Metasciences.
I ride a red bicycle. I would rather eat a crayon than smoke a cigarette. I am not yet proven vulnerable to bullets, poison gas, bear attacks or lightning, but I'm expecting news on that last one any day now.
Who I'd like to meet: NES players, independent filmmakers, aspiring comic book artists and zombies.
Hey Daniel. Thanks so much. I really appreciate it. Yes, there is the tendency to recoil and take a break...and in this case, get the damn song out of my head, but I am very happy that it is liked, and I appreciate your feedback, as I enjoy a lot of your videos. Hope all is well!
I'll be in town from 1.17-2.2. My birthday bash is on 1.30 but otherwise, I have no set plans. I'm good with the place we went last year. Give me a buzz at some point while I'm there.
You would do great on any standardized test. Your georacial and dog skills are 99th percentile. You can open doors but we all love to hyperbolize it for comedic purposes.
So I was eating from this bag of salt & pepper potato chips I hadn't eaten from in a while, and I soon noticed a small cluster of tiny (peppercorn sized) particles neatly arranged near the mouth of the bag. With a frown, firmly fixed on my face, I realized these little guys could well be from the asses of mice. I don't think the two or three chips I ate contained any fecal matter, but I don't know. I threw away the chips and continued to frown while washing my hands.
Daniel, I wanted to apologize for last night. While we were discussing the efficiency of irregularly shaped refrigerators, I was certain you meant a Taz & Wile E Coyote shaped fridge. Now I realize you were talking about a Homer & Bart shape. I will try to be a better listener in the future.
