This is a Video Blog

For those of you who have remained strategically ignorant of my previous video endeavors, most likely by scorning my humoron-filled Weekend Bonuses in pursuit of life outside of the net, this bold technological leap forward may come as a bit of a shock.

You may be faced with several questions right about now. Deep, meaningful questions regarding the nature of image, substance, and mankind’s tenuous grasp of the obvious.

Those questions, however, don’t seem to match the answers I have prepared, so I thought we would stick to simpler ones, the kind answerable in one word or less.

Like these:

A Video Blog?

- Yes

Is this sort of thing really necessary?

- No, not really.

Must he be everywhere?1

- Yes. Yes he must. So much must he, that he may well write the remainder of this his post in the third person.

Or he may just cut to the video

That was the much vaunted Video Blog

(In case you’ve been comatose up to this point.)

Although humor-blogs.com doesn’t talk like a Memphian, it does Walk Like An Egyptian.

Alltop.com is happy just to Walk Like A Man.

  1. As an added educational bonus the phonetic phrase “Musty be everywhere” is part of our new Talk Like A True Memphian speech program which proudly enables hapless internet victims to converse in the quaint idioms normally reserved for bluff city natives.

    Today’s phrase can be used to describe any manner of skunk-related roadkill.

    Just another thankless service of the Ominous Comma, recently voted most likely to use the words Dry Witty Humor for no apparent reason. «

Got any ABBA?

And if you’re going to get big in video, we’ve got to do something about your wardrobe.

Sally 05.29.08 at 11:39 pm

Your humor has been fermenting for the past 23 years. But, not like a fine wine…

more like vinegar.

Somehow… and I dont want to sound snippy, but somehow, you murdering a classic song doesnt make me feel any better. Is there some sort of pill or iron maiden supplement from Toboggan industries I can take.

Roann 05.30.08 at 9:28 am

I’m with Don on that. But please, don’t revert to the plaid.

wolf 05.30.08 at 11:23 am

Brent, you know we loves ya, but if this is the only way to get my correct dose of I.M., I think I’d rather remain deficient.

What are the symptoms, anyway?

Camille 05.30.08 at 12:37 pm

Honey,
What did I tell you about singing outside of the shower?

Meg 05.30.08 at 7:47 pm

I do so love the plaid and the longer hair, but here you’re lookin’ a bit like that Matt Dillion.

LOBO 05.30.08 at 8:33 pm

I’m just thankful he didn’t do “Rime of the Ancient Mariner“.

… That song is like 14 minutes long …

Brent Diggs 05.30.08 at 10:43 pm

I’ve been getting that a lot lately. I don’t know why.

Brent Diggs 05.30.08 at 10:44 pm

How about Ina-Gotta-Da-Vita?

I’m warmed up now and ready to really let go.

Brent Diggs 05.30.08 at 10:47 pm

That it’s a lot like coloring outside of the lines.

But you never explained just what that meant.

Brent Diggs 05.30.08 at 10:49 pm

So other than costume, talent, and song selection, it was okay?

Brent Diggs 05.30.08 at 10:58 pm

You might want to reconsider, Wolf.

I.M.D. is no laughing matter: your ears stop ringing, your hair stops growing, and people no longer wave lighters in your direction.

Sad, sad stuff.

creechman 05.31.08 at 3:08 am

You continue to kill me, man.

Sally 05.31.08 at 3:28 am

Ya don’t know what to say, huh?

Brent Diggs 05.31.08 at 11:17 am

Please, I always know what to…um…

Was that the phone? Got to go now.

Brent Diggs 05.31.08 at 11:23 am

Plaid-haters. How did the wold get to be such a cold place?

If we had some more of your heartless ilk we could put you to work saving some polar ice.

In Antarctica.

rampantheart 06.02.08 at 1:06 am

Has anybody told you that your voice is all mellifluous and awesome?:)

Well, LOBO has definitely given you an idea now, has he not?A 14 minute song would be real fabulous!

don 06.02.08 at 12:19 pm

An obvious exaggeration. Maim perhaps, temporary deafness possibly. But kill? Not unless you have the volume way too high.

Kyle 06.02.08 at 12:41 pm

Thanks Doc! That song is stuck in my head now…just what I needed!

Brent 06.03.08 at 9:12 am

No Don, Creechman has it figured out.

This blogging business is just like a video game: no matter how many times you kill your readers they still rise and come lumbering once again after your brains.

Or what passes for them.

Or possibly what’s in them, or on them, or somewhere around them.

I could go on but I’ve got to reload.

Anonymous 06.03.08 at 11:23 am

I don’t recall anyone using that particular word combination, and I think I would have remembered.

But thank you just the same.

I think that fourteen minutes would be forcing it a bit however, it might feel artificially fabulous and we wouldn’t want that.

Brent Diggs 06.03.08 at 5:48 pm

What can I say, I like to play with madness.

Alex L 06.04.08 at 1:56 am

Yeah it was great!

youtube 06.24.08 at 6:17 am
