This week the boys discuss first world problems, new iPhone, racism in video games, they talk TV and movies, and question their sanity.

Day 15
I know…you read this title and thought, “Did Tim time travel back to 2005?”
No. I was just going to write a blog about something that happened back then and I thought to myself, “Hey I wonder if I blogged about this at the time it happened?” Well I may never know. My blog site of choice at the time was a little site called MySpace. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but in an effort to alienate the last few of us who still have accounts over there, MySpace deleted everyone’s blogs, private messages, and videos.
So after a bit of searching, I found out they realized that this was a dumb idea (sort of) and they are making people’s old blogs available…if you request them…at some point…in the next few months….they hope. Oh, and the videos, private messages and comments? They’re gone forever. As they say, “Now is your chance to start fresh with a whole new audience.”
…go screw yourself, MySpace.
Man, MySpace, I championed you. I stayed with you long after I should have left. And see how you repay me? I even defended you when you put up those annoying ads with sound…oh, I would link to my blog about it, BUT YOU TOOK IT AWAY!!!
Side note: major props to Andy. When we first started the TANcast website, he went back and populated this blog with all his old MySpace blogs. So he still has all his old stuff. Way to think ahead, buddy.

Day 14
I think I lost a pair of pants. Earlier this year, I bought two new pair of jeans (or is it “pairs” of jeans?) because I was getting holes in my old ones. Also, my waste line got an inch bigger. Sorry ladies…taken!
Today I went to look for one of them and I couldn’t find it. I can only find one pair of jeans. What that hell? How does that happen? Who loses their pants? I know if you know my history or have heard the podcast you think I’m such a slob that they must just be buried in some big mess I’ve made, but I don’t really have any messes big enough to hide my pants. So either I’m doing some strange things while sleep walking, or we’ve had a visit from a burgler with a very odd but specific fetish.

Day 13
They say you shouldn’t feed the trolls, but “they” don’t have to create content for a blog everyday this month. So before I wrote yesterday’s blog, I tweeted everyone involved to let them know I was going to do so.
Was I hoping that crazy green rage lady would respond? Oh yes. Was I right? Hell yes! And here we go. Note: I’ve decided to just quote her tweets instead of making pictures out of them. It makes this easier to read since she totally “Kevin Smithed” her response by continuing her comment over several tweets. Warning: foul language…again. Read the rest of this entry »

Day 12
I came across this Twitter exchange while I was staring at my phone to avoid awkward elevator conversations. It starts with one of several Twitter folks pretending to be Darth Vader reacting to a photo of the moon.
Now, is there anything in that post that gets you upset? Like really upset? Angry enough to start spewing foul venom upon the internet? No? Well then you’re not this crazy green lady! (Warning: FOUL language) Read the rest of this entry »

Day 11 (sort of)
Those of you who are following this blog closely (thank you) may have noticed that I didn’t do a blog yesterday. I would love to tel you that it was out of respect for September 11th, and to be honest, that did play a factor, but really I just got too wrapped up editing the Kingdom Comedy video I posted a sneak peek of the day before. I got so involved that its done and will go live Friday morning. (NO word on when Disney will pull it down…I’m skating on thin ice with this one)
But I’ll tell you who found an even better way to rise above that solemn day, my neighbors. If you listen to the podcast, you may recall I spoke of them getting busy in their backyard on episode 254 (before it got serious). Well they clearly learned their lesson…because this time they got busy in the shower but with the window wide open. They were loud. I was sitting on the completely other side of my house and I heard them. They were so loud, I heard a neighbor from the other side yell, “JESUS CHRIST, KNOCK IT OFF!”
I wanted to tell that neighbor that if these people don’t hump loudly in the shower, then the terrorists have won. Suck that, Bin Laden!!!

Day 10
For those of you who don’t know, I am a huge Disneyland fan. Back in 2007, I started a web series called “Tim Babb’s Kingdom Comedy.” It started off as a way for me to do the Disneyland jokes that I wanted to put in my stand up act…but were too obscure for “main stream” audiences. It sort of morphed into a Disneyland sketch show. Anyway I did quite few of them, but then I took a bit of a hiatus when my son was born. This year I’ve stated up again but it’s been a while since my last one. Rest assured, I’m not going on break again, it just takes a bit longer to put these together and I have to be a bit more creative now that I can’t run to the park with my camera any time I want.
All this to say there are at least 2 new episodes that are very close to being done. I thought I’d give the folks who suffer through my blog a “treat” by letting you see a few screen caps from the work in progress.
Does that freak you out? It’s supposed to be the Disney cartoon version of yours truly. But why am I holding that microphone at Disney California Adventure? I guess you’ll have to wait and see.
And here’s something for the ladies. Really want to keep the details of this one under my hat until it’s ready, but I couldn’t deny you a sneak peak at my “big, buffed and super sexy” look.
Well that’s it. Hope you’ll check out the videos when they’re done. Thanks for reading.

Day 9
As a father, I get to read a lot of different books to my son. This experience is surprisingly more rewarding than pre-parent Tim would have guessed. (Apparently it’s also good for the kid. Learning or something. Whatevs.) But the downside is that you have to read a lot of books over and over. When you do that, the flaws really start to jump out at you. Over the next few weeks, I’m going to examine some of these books. Warning: spoilers! (As in you’re going to see the whole book). Today we’re looking at the Disney’s Mickey Mouse Club House mini-book, The Glove Balloon.
This week the boys discuss money for the poor, women in the media, inspiring internet quotes, and follow up on Andy’s long forgotten Never Ending Story.

Day 8
I just finished the dishes, making coffee, helping my wife with two projects for school, and editing the latest TANcast that we recorded this morning before I worked an 8 hour day.
What I’m saying is…I’m tired. I don’t have any wit for you people tonight…so here’s a picture of a dog at my office.
That’s cute right? It look’s like he googled squirrels and fire hydrants. Hilarious. Now leave me alone until tomorrow.
