Do average minds also think alike?

Emo Phillips

I’ve secretly been snort laughing to this guy for years. I heard him on a radio interview the other day and it made me think of my friends in New York. This is a little shout out to them and Emo.

“I used to live in New York. Sometimes when I’m at home and really missing it I’ll fill my humidifier with urine” — EP

And here’s one of my long-time favorites..

“You have to get up prettty early in the morning, to catch me peeking your bedroom window.” –EP

Oh ok I can’t resist a few more…

..and always remember the last words of my grandfather, who said “A truck!” –EP

“I love to go down to the schoolyard and watch all the little children jump up and down and run around yelling and screaming…They don’t know I’m only using blanks. “–EP

If you find yourself trying not to laugh out loud, there’s plenty more out there on google.
For example..

Enjoy Friday!

My wife that is. The other night we were sitting around watching The Daily Show, when out of the blue she turned to me and said, “I wish Jenny McCarthy still had her TV show.”

Me too baby.

I took in the Weezer show on Tuesday at First Avenue. It was totally packed with quite a mix of people, fortunately being a Weezer show, there was a noticeable lack of assholes looking for a fight.

It was a good show for the fans, they played all the hits just like the album cut, the way fans like to hear them. Well not this fan really, I’d prefer to see them give me a ‘live’version, something that builds off the recorded version then gives me something new that I’d only hear live at the show. Oh well, it turned into a big frat party sing-along, with the crowd practically drowning out the band on many tunes. Of course there’s plenty of ‘good times’ vibes from that type of scene, but when the tallest guys in the place decide to stand right in front of you (happens every time), you at least want to ‘hear’ the band.

Things were to get better, but I have to go back a day first. On Monday I was listening to my favorite podcast The Daily Source Code, and Adam Curry mentioned another podcast he had come across that was being done by a member of Weezer’s roadcrew. I immediately went to check out this blog Parking in Bitterman Circle where the podcast is hosted. The man behind Bitterman is Aron Michalski and he’s the drum and bass tech for Weezer. The top post on his blog was talking about how they had just rolled into Minneapolis from a show in the california desert, and it was cold as hell here that day.
I posted a quick welcoming comment, and let him know I was going to the show. The next morning I had an email from him. Well to make a long story longer, 36 hours after hearing about this guy from a podcast, I’m talking to him after the show. That is the beauty about the times we’re living in, and this new podcast community has some really great stuff going on. I’m a total podcasting geek, so if you’re interested in learning more about it, send me a note.

Well the night climaxed when Aron scored me some drumsticks, he grabbed them right off the snare, and they were totally beat, definitely used for the show. I gave them to my friend’s 15 year-old son, also a drummer, who was at the show with us. That was definitely the best part of the night, handing him those sticks.
Thanks to Bitterman.

To my friend, experimental film-maker Scott Coleman Miller, who won the award for Best Film at the Ann Arbor Film Festival a couple weeks ago for his newest work “Uso Justo”. With a big win under his belt, he’s poised to get even greater exposure in upcoming film festivals. He has a special screening at the Mpls-St. Paul International Film Festival on April 13th, and several festivals have now contacted him requesting his film. I’ve been asking for a web version that I can post for everyone, but so far I just have to enjoy the DVD he burned for me. Its actually a pre-final version, so I’ll be selling that on eBay someday.
I had the opportunity to produce the music for his last piece, Hands Motherlode, that also screened at several festivals. Yep, I’m pretty cool now.

Nice work dude.

…suddenly realized you’ve just lost the last 5 minutes doing air guitar to a song in your head?

No fantastic insights from me today, but George has eloquently stated what has occasionally popped into my mind.

“If lobsters looked like puppies, people could never drop them in boiling water while they’re still alive. But instead, they look like science fiction monsters, so it’s okay.”

I’m not sure who Goose is, but today on my store bought Jack Daniel’s calendar, it lists Goose’s birthday.
Does anyone know who Goose is?

Like many people I have a calendar on my wall at work, and on holidays or other days of note, it marks the occasion for you. Your calendar may also have this feature. Look at Feb 14th, does it list Valentine’s Day? How about the 21st, does it note President’s Day? Ok, now look at today, the 28th. Does yours say “Public Sleeping Day”? What?! Has anyone ever heard of “Public Sleeping Day?” Is this an actual holiday worthy of noting on the calendar? Does anyone have the day off? Are government offices closed? Are the downtown parking meters free? Will my garbage pick-up be pushed back one day?

I should maybe mention that this is a Jack Daniel’s calendar, and so I’m guessing if you own a Jack Daniels calendar, then alot of days might be public sleeping days for you.

Google didn’t really have any good info on this day, which means none probably exists. Although I did learn its also National Floral Design day. Well that will put you to sleep.
