The Midland Accent

Posted on Wednesday 13 June 2007

What American accent do you have? (Best version so far)

Midland

(”Midland” is not necessarily the same thing as “Midwest”) The default, lowest-common-denominator American accent that newscasters try to imitate. Since it’s a neutral accent, just because you have a Midland accent doesn’t mean you’re from the Midland.

Nothing to say, so here’s 2 songs

Posted on Tuesday 27 March 2007

I am too busy to say anything, but I just thought I’d share my favorite new band, The Awkward Stage.

Listen to Heaven is for Easy Girls or The Morons are Winning

There are some songs on the album I like better than these two, but alas… no link anywhere I can see.

These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.

Posted on Thursday 8 March 2007

I tried letterpress for the first time about a month ago. I’m just now getting around to posting a result of it. I actually made a poster with Obi-won’s famous saying, “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.” The typography on the poster wasn’t very good, but I like the way the droids turned out. Here is a scan of the droids and a photo of the poorly laid out wood type still in the chase.

Inside Joke?

Posted on Saturday 3 February 2007

Last night we were flipping the channels and landed on 1 vs. 100, the latest NBC prime-time game show. I guess the premise is to beat 100 people in trivia. The first question we saw was the easiest level and it went something like this:

A family walks in to a talent agent’s office and claims they are ‘Aristocrats’. Is the family:
a) High Class
b) Low Class
c) Cats

Immediately, the host of the show… one BOB SAGET made a small smirk. He saw the joke in the question. In fact, so did a lot of people. 22 people in the mob of 100 got the question wrong, probably because they said the family was “low class”. Those reading this and not following me obviously don’t know “The Aristocrats joke” and they definitely haven’t seen Bob Saget’s take on the joke from the movie The Aristocrats.

*Warning* If you have a distaste for vulgar humor, do not under any circumstance watch Bob Saget’s version of the joke. It is some of the most vile, disgusting, and vulgar humor you can find. However, if that’s your sort of thing, then it it won’t get much better than this. *Warning*
