Thursdays at the Office: The Rejected Episode

Sarah Morrison came to visit a few months ago, and we were reminiscing fondly over time when we used to make content for fun, not just for others' enjoyment. From that came the idea for Thursdays at the Office, the hottest new series on Yobeat. The above episode was the first that we filmed, playing off an actual episode of The Office plot line, and making Sarah and I laugh hysterically. Unfortunately, the target audience of Yobeat not only doesn't pay close enough attention to TV to get the Office reference, but doesn't care about Sarah, or me, or anyone else in the episode. So it's being relegated to here…

We'll be doing a live webcast from Windells every session all summer long so if you want to be one of those live viewers, follow Yobeat on twitter, now. Right now.

Woopra is Ruining my Life

I haven't felt like this since AOL first came out with its $3-per-hour dial up service. I remember back in the mid 90s, racking up at least one $200 internet bill before my parents told me I was only allowed 1 hour of internet time per day. Thankfully, it didn't take long for internet service to become unlimited, and the amount of time I spend staring at the computer screen is now only taxing on my social life, not my wallet. Anyway you look at it, I am addicted to the Internet. But it wasn't until about a week ago, that I realized I may have a problem. The thing that…

This weekend I completed what I believe to be my greatest cinematic work yet, a documentary of sorts on the Weena Man, Government Camp's premier dodgeball player. The subject is Cory Grove of Cobra Dogs fame, and in one afternoon we filmed everything I need to make this gem. The results, he and I agree, are epic. Even the perpetually salty Jared Souney said it was my best work yet (even if he did follow it up with "usually your videos aren't funny.") So it went live on YoBeat this morning and I highly encourage you to check it out, but it brings up an issue I've been debating for…

Way to Exploit

With all these celebrity deaths of late, it wasn't a question of if, but rather when the exploitation would occur. Usually though, I limit my exploitation of tragedy to a few off-color jokes in close company. But when snowboard company Neff put out a Michael Jackson tribute tee, well, it was the first time I sort of cared about Michael Jackson's death. Frankly it seemed absurd and needed to be mocked, especially since I run a site with the tag line "making fun of snowboarding." Then when Awesome Auger spokeman Billy Mays passed away Sunday, the opportunity was clear. Rip off Neff's design and make a Billy Mays tribute shirt.…
