Curt Recently liked:

Joe Recently liked:
Joe is basically illiterate. He gave up on War and Peace because he found it "wordy." What he does love is endorsing products and services. For instance, if you’re looking for help passing the CSET you should visit the company CSET Tutor. Joe wants everyone to know the following facts because of his passion for random product endorsement, and certainly not because his buddy Bobby owns the company. CSET Tutor offers an online CSET Practice Test and a CSET Study Guide that’s included free with each of their CSET Prep Classes. They offer CSET preparation for all subtests, including CSET Math and Science, Language and History, and CSET PE, Human Development and Arts. They also have in-depth reviews to help you choose the right CSET book and helpful info on selecting a CSET test date. If you’re looking for help on any portion of the California CSET Multiple Subjects Exam, visit their website for more info on CSET Prep Course Registration. | | Heroes |

About me:
Bio...
Separated at birth, The Brothers Rye reunited a score and
some years later to find their lives had taken similar and
unremarkable paths. Both champions for mediocrity, they decided to
write one and one-half not-especially good feature screenplays, Lucid
and Kill me a Murder. They succeeded.
In 2004, Curt won 3rd place in a contest for a 92.5 The River commercial in Boston (note: with no help from Chad Gordon).
That accomplished, he moved on to shooting various video productions with his brother, Joe, including an infomercial for an adult internet website. In their tradition of being less than impressive they wrote, shot and edited in 24 hours the short film, Glue, for which they won third place and (accidentally) best direction at the NYC Midnight Run competition. They followed that with the short screenplays Stray Babies and Walking Still which garnered them the moderate third runner-up award at the NYC Midnight Run 24 Screenplay Competition. To their utter surprise and delight the Beastie Boys hand picked the Brothers Rye's "Shake Your Rump" music video as the winner of the No Sleep Till Sundance Contest. Joe Rye has been in cahoots with Susan Buice of Four Eyed Monsters before there was a four eyed monster (once they were roommates) and can be seen at his maniacal best in their latest podcast over at
their myspace page. Currently, The Brothers Rye are looking into the next contest they can enter.
