Video Tuesday and TACOS!

I think we need to revisit this here blog post. This is flippin' great! I will not waist time talking this up, I will get right to it!



Brilliant! There is never enough parody for Lady Gaga. I mean come on, some people aren't even sure if she is a lady. But is or isn't, is not a concern of mine. Either way she (he) is ridiculous and lends her(him)self to a nice line of parody.

Moving on. I once had a dream of moving to The Big Easy and becoming mayor. After watching Down By Law, and all the corruption that the city faces, I wanted to make a change!
But I have changed my mind. Instead I am moving to New Orleans and voting for this man!


I mean seriously, with a platform like that, who can compete!? I know I would not only pale n comparison, but I would not even be a fly on the wall of this political battle.

And for the video finale today WE GOT THAT B ROLL!


And now for some serious business. This past Saturday night, Amy and I went to The Bog to see Marshmallow Staircase. When Jeff Gilotti play, we show up!

Side bar: Jeff Gilotti was also playing drums for Kid Icarus.

After Amy and I left The Bog, we made a conscious decision to go to DA Taco Truck. Our expectations were very low. Heck, we thought we were going to be very sick the next day, but we went out on a limb. And for the love of Sammy Davis Jr. (he only had one eye) they tacos were flippin' amazing!

Amy and I both only ordered one taco each. We both got the Falafel Taco. As he was making them for us Amy asked what is the best selling taco. He informed us that he has been pushing the Korean Short Rib Tacos. He said they were really good, so we put him to the test!

All I can say is OMG. That may have been the best taco I have ever eaten! We only got one, and we spilt that it. But the total for the 3 tacos was only $5! That was well worth it!

And I am very happy to report that neither of us got sick. In fact we wanted to go back for more! I think we will. And you should to! There were several people eating them in The Bog. Hence the reason we took that risk and bought a few.

If you don't want to click the link, or are blocked from Facebook at work, here is there menu:

RE-Post

I saw this post while flipping through the recommends on Google Reader. Thought this was interesting so I wanted to share. It comes to us from gothamist DOT com. Here is their blog entry on this here topic. Click this blue text to be redirected to their post.

"The Google street view car has captured plenty of odd incidents since its creation. Pat Kiernan points to a recently discovered one in Manhattan, taken at 29th and Park — where a collapsed (possibly dead?) man lay on the street as a crowd gathers around him. It strikes us odd that Google seems to have taken the steps to not only blur, but pixelate the man's face... why not just remove that section of the block until a reshoot is possible?"

Well now, we have all seen crazy things on Google street view, like the fake Sampson Way episode in Pittsburgh. But they may have hit a new low after hitting that deer. But who knows, the man passed out could have been staged as well. Oh well, it makes for entertainment.

And entertainment we need. The world is becoming a deep dark place, and we all need to watch out. And watch out I am.

I interviewed for a position this week and I must say, I think it went really well. I may have a leg up on my competition, and that is something I need right now. I know what my weekend has in store for me. Learning. I have learned some already, but not enough. I am going to get on that now. Then Monday send out an email or two and hopefully seal my fate.... in a good way.

OK, short post today. Got to get on that horse.

That is all, carry on.

Sausage Fingers!

OK, so this blog is not really about sausage fingers, it is about something much, much better. The Sausage Pocket! The prototype was brought to us by the gang over at Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Frank decided he wanted a tasty treat of sausage any time without the mess. So in his urge for a delicious treat on the go, he gave us the idea for the all new, custom made Sausage Pocket.

We are currently beta testing to find even better ways to implement the Sausage pocket. Here are a few shots of a user in public:

The Collegiate Hoodie Sausage Pocket series. Here we see the PSU hoodie.

Before her horrific accident, and happy she has the pocket.

This is our new Shirt/Jacket Sausage Pocket Combo.

As you can tell this is after her horrific accident of having her face punched off. She is very sad because she can not bite the golden treat due to the fact she no longer has a mouth.

New addition! The Puree Sausage Cup Pocket.

As you can see, she is much happier now that we came up with the new, Solar Powered Sausage Blender and Puree Sausage cup pocket. Now she can still enjoy her career as a knife throwing Carny. You may not be able to tell, but that is a smile on her new mouth hole.

The Humanity!

I think Amy will get a kick out of this.


And this video makes me laugh. I sure do love it, here let me share some amazing good times with you all.


And in addition to this amazing video, here is a game. Yes the video was so popular, that Home Star Runner DOT com made a game. It is awesome! And it is:


And who does not love the Men Without Hats? The Safety Dance is great! One day I will visit the land of OZ.



And for a little pizazz, I give you this.....yes, you have to watch this.

Well now, this is becoming a very video heavy post. There is only one thing to do about that.... buy a camera and make move videos of my own! OK, well get a job, then I am going to purchase my own Contour HD. I am going to get the 720 version, because I like it and it is cheaper than the 1080 version. And that means less hard drive space being used up. Because my hard drive shit the bed, so I need a new one of those too.



Oh, and this will never fucking happen. I am sure there will be a mobil blog post from me shortly fallowing the nuptials, but I aint going to stop my wedding being preformed by Fat Elvis with a gravy stain on his white jump suit, to go onto Facebook and update my status to married. Now that is just absurd!
That is all, carry on.

To Live and Die: The Life of a Carnie

Some say the great Western Outlaw Bill The Kid would have made a great Carny. He had small hands, we all know small hands are the trade mark of a great Carny.

In this expose, we will uncover the hardships of life of a Carny. You know them, you have seen them, ridiculed them, bonded with them maybe, envied them, maybe you are or were one.

We will start with a bit of a hall of fame if you will of great Carny folk. Here we lead off with a new addition to the great ranks:

Samuel Sullivan

The owner/operator of the great Sullivan Brothers Carnival. He once lead his carnival family with his brother, Joseph. A family feud forces Samuel to use his powers to kill his brother, and not he takes on the task of keeping if family safe on his own.

Moving on we have and old favorite:

Ben Hawkins

Ben Hawkins began his career as a young Oklahoma farmer and chain gang fugitive who was picked up by a traveling carnival when his mother died. Ben has inexplicable healing powers since childhood, and he has begun to suffer dreams and visions of people unknown to him. Ben's powers come with a price – to give life, he must take life; to raise the dead, he has to deliberately kill someone else.

And of course who could forget the all time number one Carny in the hall of fame!

Joe Dirt

Joe had a very short lived career, but a great one. He was searching for his parents and he found the top of our list of Carny greats.

I would like to add an honorable mention to the list.

Chris Bradley / Bolt

He gave power to the people. Literally. He used his mutant gift to power his carnival. He met an untimely death before he could go one to be a great. But the little time he spent as a Carny, was well deserving of being mentioned here in our report.

What do all of these great men have in common? The are men of the people, they are men that do what they need to do to survive, they are men that take care of their own. They all had powers. Joe didn't you say? Well what would you call his gift of motivation, he charged a generation, and he had a Hemi.

They Travel from town to town. Earning a living doing what they do best. When they come, our towns light up. They bring hope and entertainment. They bring us visions we never thought possible. They bring the Beer tent.

Who of us does not want to stand in a field or old dirt lot, drinking stale beer for $1? I know I do. Playing instant bingo, surrounded by Purple, Yellow and Green lights. Flashing, Glowing.

They live a life on the road. Moving from town to town to survive, not only for themselves, but for us. How could we get by without a little care free fun and entertainment. They pull us out of out ruts and give us freedom. They some and leave without a trace..... well sort of.

They give us promises of returning next year, and they always do. This is a win win relationship. They need us just as much as we need them. We co-habitate together. Two different species working together to make one home.

Do you ever get that itch, the scratch behind your ear or the tickle in your throat? What do you think that is? I'll let you in on a little secret, that it the travailing bug biting you. It's that part of you deep down inside that wants to join the ranks and be on our list of greats. Take a chance.

With a little slight of hand, they memorize us. Some may think of them as vagabonds, fools, or scum. But they take our money on their games of chance. We know we will never win, but we try anyway. They know we can not turn down a chance to win a prize. They are not scum, they are capitalists. We are the fools. We need to learn a lesson here, can you see it?

I have revived a 2010 nominee for the the list:

Toni Hoffman

She was bested in a fight. The end results were the loss of her face. She was in training to me an archer, but has moved on to knives. For not having a face, and her remaining eye is severely damaged from her bought with a superior appointment, she has deadly aim with a throwing knife. She preforms the Wheel of Death, picking out a member from the crowd for each show. Her ability is amazing, but can still use some improvement.

That is all, carry on.

I CAN NOT STOP LAUGHING!

I made a few life decisions today, and one is to become more crafty. And this immediately popped into my brain!



Kitten Mittens are flipping great! I laugh my arse off every time I think/see this! So I am going to carry on working on my messenger bag design. Once I hammer out my design, I will order the proper materials and beta test the bag. This will then lead to me networking in Philly to try and get a few bags made and out there for messengers to test, and hopefully get the brand name out there. That has yet to be determined. But I will say it will deal with Electric City, Ruckus or Meepers in some way. Probably not all of them, just one.

So give me your name ideas! I am ready for submissions. It could be as plain as Electric City Bags (even though I will not be living in the EC. But that is where it began). Maybe a logo, a simple logo. Maybe something like this:
I don't know. I got plenty of time to work on it! and plenty of time to try and get me a job in the big city!

I heard of a few possible opportunities. I may have to make a long haul for a year, but soon enough I can get closer. And hopefully I can stop moving during X-Mas. this will be year two moving right around Christmas time. Oh well, I went and signed the last lease for that time of year, now I am stuck with it.

Lets move on shall we. OK, I am not sure where to move on to. Hmmmmmm. I am drawing a blank. OK, I'll tell you what I have planed for this evening. I am going to go home and see what I have to cook for dinner. But I think it is all frozen, so I may defrost something for tomorrow night. The I am going to toss in Smallville Season three and watch a few episodes. After that, I am going to Watch X-Men Originals: Wolverine. By then I will either be hungry or not. I haven't come to that conclusion yet. After I make this vital decision, Sons of Anarchy should be well into the episode. I will then start that from the beginning, so as I can fast forward the commercials.

After all of that is said and done, I will still have time until Amy gets home, so I will mess around online, and probably talk to her on her way home because her radio isn't working. At some point in there I will get my cloths ready for the morning, because I have a throw away interview in Wilkes-Barre at 8 a.m.

What is a throw away interview you ask. It is an interview you go to, intending on not excepting their job. It is a sales job, that no one will buy in this current economy. But I have not been on an interview in a long time, so I want the practice. So a throw away is just that, one that doesn't matter if you biff on, you aren't taking the job anyway.

Oh and I looked more into becoming an EMT today. Seems kind of promising. There is a program starting at LCCC in January. It is a 4 month program, then I will be trained t0 take my boards to become and EMT-B. The pay isn't very good, but it is a foot in the door to a career I can take all over the country. But if the state will pay (I heard about a program) I will try to get into an RN or LPN program. Much better pay. Just more schooling and longer schooling.

But as long as I don't have to go back to retail for ever, I am golden. Unless someone wants to get into the work wear game, Then I am the guy you want in your corner. I got connections and I know the business.

OK. I'm done babbling for the day.

That is all, carry on.
