Time for another adventure in dice-rolling narcissism! See, I haven’t made one of these since the end of September, 2011. All of the clips in this video were chosen at random using dice to dissect my “My Videos” folder. Who else is looking forward to tomorrow night’s Republican debate? I know I don’t really have […]
SIDESHOW BARKER: STEP RIGHT UP, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! Prepare to be astounded when you witness an amazing achievement of the human senses! The Sideshow is proud to bring you kind, generous and curious people the story of an infant boy raised in the animal kingdom, his incredible adaptation to the skills his cetaceous adoptive family […]
As I’ve said before, I’ve gained a lot of weight in the last few years. Most of my wardrobe comes from when I was about 40 pounds lighter, so it doesn’t fit all that well. In particular, many of my shirts no longer cover the lower half of my belly. Unfortunately, most of the “XL” […]
This was the kind of Tour d’Joko I wanted to go on last weekend when my car broke down. Then, this week, my employer cut my pay by 30%. My video camera is pretty much unusable now due to the faulty LCD screen. It was time for me to catch a break. Nothing I enjoy […]
The weekend off. Beautiful, unseasonably warm winter weather. A full tank of gas. Where, oh where in the Evergreen State should I go on the next Tour d’Joko? My last three trips had been to the east, hiking mountain trails (or trying to) in the Cascade Range. I wanted to see something different this time. […]
Random, baffling moment from my day. I was paying for a few items at the drugstore. Having a pocket full of coins, my change was exactly one dollar. “Would you care for one of the new gold dollar coins?” the gentleman cashier, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Georges Gurdjieff (left), asked me politely. I […]
I was so looking forward to today that when I woke up extremely early at around 5:30 AM, I didn’t even think about going back to sleep. Checked the internet (yup, still there), showered, cup o’ joe, and I was out the door in the complete darkness by 6:15 AM. Why was I so excited? […]
I’ve gone a little viral. Remember that video I made over the weekend of me making the snow monolith? It’s got like 1200 views in the last 2 days! As YouTube videos go, that’s not much, and several of my previous productions have gotten similar seemingly random popularity. Still, it’s nice in times like this […]
Now, we’ve all seen Jesus-mobiles. They’re a distinctive form of “art cars” where the vehicle owner adorns their ride with religious accoutrement and messages. I’ve seen a few up here on the Washington roads. I’ve also seen them parked near public places where an evangelical is out promoting their religious message. The religiosity on the […]
I was in one of these long-term, committed relationships that the Republicans tonight said should be “good enough”… There’s no reason that we should have been allowed to call that “marriage”, even if we wanted to. We should have been happy to have been allowed to be together. She was Mexican. I was white. In […]
