Explosions North and South of the Equator




This is for my friend Blythe who was concerned at the angry tone of my recent travel post. I took that into account and decided to highlight the one thing in my life that pulled me out of that dark place...

I'm quite certain that there's a good chance you've all seen this. But if you haven't, you should. If you have, watch it again. "Dick in a Box" good? Probably not. Close enough? You bet your sweet ass. In a world filled with violence, uncertainty, and pain it is comforting to know I'm always one clever premature ejaculation joke away from a smile. Thank you Lonely Island and SNL. Don't know who Lonely Island is? You should. Andy Sandberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer were also the geniuses behind "Dick in a Box" and "Lazy Sunday". They're also the creators of a failed little show that is close to my heart, the great "Awesometown". You'll never forget these little inspirations that pretty much are the basis for my entire world:

I know you remember "Just 2 Guyz"--the official anthem of Rob and Klinge...



And the one and only episode of "Awesometown" (Go to the 8:52 mark for the legendary, always imitated, never duplicated "Exploding High-Five)...



All the music you need to know about, coming soon. Love ya!
