DAMU, I Thank You

Chino Blanco, December 29, 2010December 29, 2010

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

(Alt link in case the embedded vid loads too slow)

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. 🙂

It looks as though — now that Snarkernacle has fizzled out — a new mocking-the-Bloggernacle-themed blog has popped up to pick up the slack (which I found through the comments of this post)! Complete with LOL catz! I probably shouldn’t admit to reading this sort of thing (since gawking and…

Those damn Mormon drunks?!?

November 30, 2007

More ironic than anything, I caught this odd story on rabble rousing in a Mormon Church parking lot in Reno. The crazy thing is that the story implies the kids doing the partying, drinking, and even shooting are Mormons. I’m not sure what they are teaching those kids in church…

    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. 🙂
