30 Days and 30 Blogs: Day 3

So Disney buys Marvel and people lose their collective minds! Marvel fans are panicking about Disney making the Marvel universe more “family friendly.” And Disney fans are fpitching a fit about the possibility of Marvel characters showing up in Disney theme parks.

I’ll grant you, I’m more a DC fan than Marvel (as I sit typing this in my Superman T-shirt) but I really don’t think people have that much to worry about. Disney owns Miramax Films after all…the people who gave us Pulp Fiction, Clerks, Scream, Sin City…etc. None of those are exactly family friendly. (Unless you count the scene in Clerks where Randal rattles off the porn titles in front of the little girl…heartwarming). Disney knows they aren’t experts on comics…I’m sure they’ll leave the comics to the comic makers.

Then there’s the Disney purists who want to make sure Marvel stays out of Disneyland and the like. I’ve even read one person say “…It would almost make me not want to go to Disney…” Really? Do we really need to fight tooth and nail to keep the purity of 75 more rides themed to Toy Story or Captain Jack Sparrow?

Look…Little girls like princess, little boys like superheros, and bloggers like over simplifying the world with widely accepted stereotypes. I’m just saying, there are a bunch of little boys who would love to come to Disneyland and spend some time with their favorite wall crawler or team of mutants. Don’t poo poo on their dreams just because Uncle Walt didn’t come up with the idea for a guy who gets angry and turns green. Lets allow as many people as possible who want to have fun in the park to do so. Excelsior!

30 Days and 30 Blogs: Day 2

Well it’s day 2 of my commitment to a month of blogs and I don’t really have any ideas for a blog today. I fail at everything I try. But I keep trying. I’m kinda like the comedic version of Rocky. (Fortunately no Russians have beaten me up…yet)

I do have quite a few irons in the fire at the moment…I’ve got a few Kingdom Comedy videos I’m trying to get edited. Including the one that I started trying to film back in May! I’m also working on a few more audio Kingdom Comedies for Mousetalgia…and a video project for TANcast that I hope to announce soon.

Plus I’m getting set for the San Francisco Comedy Competition.

I’m really hoping to bring the thunder. If you’re in the area, please come out and laugh at me…I won’t mind 🙂 You can check the schedule as it gets updated here: http://www.sanfranciscocomedycompetition.com/Pages/Schedule.html (I’m performing on September 16th-20th)

Lastly I’m getting my set together for my showcase at the NACA West Conference. If you’re going to college and would like to have me come to your college and do stand-up (which I would LOVE to do) find out who books events for your college and direct them here: http://h2f.net/h2fnew/index.php?pg=talentdetail_page&id=01493c5fbd38495

…hmmm this is turning into less of a blog as it is shameless self promotion. I will work on that for next time.

I am a man on a mission…not from God, but from Noah (1/3 oft he best crappy podcast ever). He said I should be writing everyday. While I can’t promise that, I am going to try to blog at least once a day during the month of September.

Stand-up comedy biz blogs…Disney blogs…Star Trek Blogs…a political rant or two (sorry, right wing friends)…I’m gonna throw as much as I can against the wall in September and see what sticks.

I’m not going to lie to you. There will be typos…there will be factual errors…and there will be an over use of ellipses (…) but if you give me a chance, we can get through this together…or you can just ignore my crappy posts.

Wish me luck…

Van from the Netcot Podcast returns for the conclusion to last week’s cliffhanger. The boys review Inglorious Bastards and District 9, Tim and Noah reminisce about their old movie theater, they boys try and solve the murder of Michael Jackson, Andy doesn’t do anything illegal, Van gives his other podcast picks, Van weighs in on the Croc-fight, Andy reveals the danger of baby bombs, the boys talk Apple for a bit, Tim and Noah ponder the consequences of replacing Andy then Noah stops recording…but the show goes on.

Ok…I have had enough of douchebags parking a huge ass SUV in a compact space. So I created this flyer for anyone who wants it. Just click on the picture below and print it out. And put it on the windshield of the puss bucket who took up 3 spaces because he/she was too self important to find an appropriate spot.

If you received one of the fliers below on your windshield…kill yourself!

Any other dick parking moves I can make fliers for?

I saw this and I thought of Andy.

This week Andy’s Vegas adventure, Tim reviews one chapter of the book Teetering on Disaster, the boys hate on Jimmy Fallon, high school bullies, and then the show descends into chaos!

I had a little bit of Comcast info I wanted to tweet about, but Twitter went down as I was typing.

Oh, before I forget…

Dear Fucktards at Comcast: Please stop breaking the Internet by replacing valid DNS error messages with search (plus ads!) pages. If any customers want you to break their Internet access, let them opt IN, instead.

Where was I? Oh, right. Twitter.

Twitter has been down for the better part of an hour now, so I went to Facebook to bitch to my meatspace friends and family about not being able to tweet. Turns out Facebook is all kerfucked, too. Attempts to post, to filter who is displayed, or even to load some pages fail with a variety of internal Facebook errors (“AJAX timeout… Are you connected to the Internet?”) or general HTTP failures (“The page at http://facebook.com/ is taking too long to respond…”).

I grumbled to myself, then remembered I run a blog. Moments later I was typing this post and reveling in self-hosted uptime goodness.

Twitter and Facebook = FAIL

TANcast = WIN

PS: If you’re a Comcast subscriber (and oh my <deity>, do I wish there was actual competition in the broadband market), you can fix your DNS behavior by opting out of their fucktacular mess.

PPS: I’ve added “fucktard”, “kerfucked”, and “fucktacular” to my browser’s spell check dictionary.

PPPS: I’ll try to remember crowing in this post the next time I break TANcast.
