That’s it. I’m done. I’ve been entering Cracked Photoshop contests for a while now and I have yet to win…but this week was the last straw. The theme of the contest this week was inspired by the Facebook movie, The Social Network. The premise was, since THAT movie was successful, what will be the NEXT website made into a movie?
This week’s contest actually caught my imagination and I made more than a dozen entries. Not only did I not win but only two of my entries were chosen for their top 19 and my best entry was DELETED off the forums by the Cracked editors.
Well screw you, Cracked, I’m not playing your game anymore! You get no more free work out of me. Fortunately for the rest of you, I saved all my entries and I’m going to display them all for you…even the ones that made the Cracked list. (I think that’s against the rules but screw them! What can they do? Take the money away that I didn’t win?) In keeping with true Cracked tradition they are in no particular order of greatness and #1 is definitely not the best…
#15) Hampsterdance.com:
This one was my first entry and actually made their stupid list…at number 14. WTF?!
This week Andy plays video games, Noah sees the Social Network and Turtles Forever, Andy is close minded about polygamy, and Tim tells you how to stop an acquisition of your company.

This week the TANboys tackle the great nerd debate of our generation: Who would win if the Star Trek Universe fought the Star Wars universe. Ladies, this episode will surely make your panties moist…oh wait…no…well, only if you pee yourself because your man is locked in the bathroom arguing with his iPod.

Day 30
I can’t begin this blog without first acknowledging the effect SModcast and Kevin Smith in general has had on me. Andy, Noah, and I would not be doing TANcast were it not for SModcast. Kevin’s inaccurately titled “Jersey Trilogy” provided many hours of fun at the TANhouse.
But a while back, SModcast had quite a few misfire episodes (almost as though they were stooping to TANcast quality). The fun banter and odd ball stories were getting shoved aside for the recurring themes of pot and hockey. I think it’s taken a noticeable uptick recently, but I very much remember being disappointed in SMods for quite a few months in a row. Well I wasn’t the only one who noticed this. Apparently people had left some comments saying so both on the SModcast site as well as Kevin’s View Askew message boards.
Yeah, big man, we’re talking about you and you can’t stop us. What now?
Among these comments were people who shared my opinion that the Tell ‘Em Steve Dave (TESD) podcast had now surpassed SModcast in comedic value. So I guess people were leaving posts saying that TESD had replaced SMod as their favorite podcast. Kevin reacted by getting his panties in a twist…
Um… why rank them at all? And why let us know who’s jockeying for which position in your heart? That’s tacky.
I think we’d all rather you just kept it simple and said “Thank you.”
Oh…I didn’t realize that the only appropriate response was to worship at the alter of Kevin. Granted, I’m no fan of negative comments, but if you put something out there, it’s going to be reacted to. You can’t get butt hurt at every little comment…especially when you own a million dollar home in LA and are famous for making movies.
I didn’t say any of this, because I was not moved enough to do so. Others however apparently have more passion and/or more time on their hands and refused to drop the issue. At which Kevin “Thick Skin” Smith (not a fat joke) had this to say… Read the rest of this entry »
Day 29
Back in July, my wife and I went to Walt Disney World for the first time! I talked about it on episode 109 of TANcast and I talked more about it on episode 11 of the Mr Frank’s Wild Ride Podcast.
But the big plan was to do a bunch of videos about it for my Tim Babb’s Kingdom Comedy series on YouTube. But it’s been over a month and…well…I’m still working on it.
The weight of my failure is heavier than this.
Day 28
(I end up doing a lot of blog “sequels,” don’t I?)
The casting website that knew me so well last time is at it again. Apparently they were on a spree today because I got three e-mails from them in under an hour. Here they are in order of appearance:
Your TCF profile matches three criteria for the following role: Woman with Lap Top
Gender: MATCH
Ethnicity: MATCH
Age Range: MATCHDescription: GOOD COMEDIC ACTOR. FUNNY DIALOGUE TO BE PLAYED STRAIGHT.
In case you missed the description, it says they want the part to be played straight. So naturally you sent the part for a woman with a laptop to a guy. Yeah I can see how that’s the perfect part for me to play straight.
No matter how hard you try, you can’t Ctrl Alt Delete this image from your mind.
This week…the boys resolve last week’s “cliffhanger,” Noah Reviews Piranha 3D, the boys lament the state of television, Tim goes to Vegas, and Noah’s wife has a great new idea for the show.

Day 27
I don’t know how I’ve gone this long without being a Katy Perry fan! She’s hot, her music is catchy, I’m sure she annoys Andy, and most of all she can’t spell.
“Screw you, Clippy! I’m leaving it like that!”
But honestly, Katy has been flying under my radar. I mean I’ve heard of I Kissed a Girl but I never really gave Katy much thought. Then today my friend, comedian extraordinaire Sandy Stec, posts this status on her Facebook:
Sandy Stec wants to know what percentage of Katy Perry’s success is gimmick and what percentage is talent. (Note: breasts are not a choice here)
I didn’t think much of this UNTIL I listened to the latest episode of the Hollywood Babble-On podcast where they talked about how Katy ran afoul of Sesame Street fans. It seems Ms. Perry filmed a version of Hot N Cold with Elmo and a preview of it was posted on line. At this point, a bunch of people complained that it was inappropriate and now Sesame Street is pulling the song form their New Year’s Eve show. So THIS finally lit a fire under me to look it up. Here is the offending video: Read the rest of this entry »
Day 26
Omegle is a site where not only can you chat with strangers, you also find out exactly how strange they are. Truthfully most of my conversations on Omelge are pretty short…
You’re now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
Stranger: hey asl
You: 33/m/USA
You: Wanna be bffs?
Your conversational partner has disconnected.
But occasionally you get thrust into a conversation with someone that reminds you that the world is CHALK FULL of people you would never, ever, ever, EVER want to meet in real life… Read the rest of this entry »
