DAMU, I Thank You

Chino Blanco, December 29, 2010December 29, 2010

Paying homage to online friends during this holiday season with some heartfelt silliness:

My inspiration, my energy, my wisdom, my gratitude, my vision, my laughter … my knowledge.

From me to you: I’m so glad I’m you’re here.

And, yes, if there’d been more than four cues, I would’ve included more of my favorite sites. 🙂

worst home teacher ever

April 10, 2010October 20, 2010

Stetson Hallam, a 20-year old sophomore at BYU, was rebuffed by one of the girls for whom he was a home teacher. His response: Catch her in their apartment complex, use a stun gun to immobilize her, then attempt to handcuff her (unclear what he was planning after that). But…

fill in the blanks

June 5, 2008

I’ve been reading a very good book on religion and found some quotes that are worth sharing. But I thought it might be fun to make this interactive. So, here’s the first quote, but you have to fill in the blanks. If anyone correctly fills in all of the blanks,…

    Very nicely done! Your production values and your approach are both really appealing.

    Thanks, visitor, but any praise for the production values (and approach and pretty much everything else) really belongs to these guys:

    I just hopped on for the ride there at the end (i.e., the last nine seconds).

    Laugh away, but I certainly hope you won’t discount any of the feelings you experienced while viewing my version of the clip just because you’re now suddenly aware of where I found it. I’d feel bad if my sincere expression of exmo camaraderie wound up being disregarded simply on account of my obvious fraud.

    No, not at all! That’s what is so ironic to me about it, that this video does equal or more justice as applied by you to our communities, as it did in it’s original rendition to Mormon Messages.

    Hey, don’t get me wrong, I appreciate you playing along. In the absence of a budget, mutual admiration is worth its weight in gold. They control the treasury, but we’ve got the numbers. Here’s to a fun 2011. 🙂
