DAMU, I Thank You

Chino Blanco, December 29, 2010December 29, 2010

Paying homage to online friends during this holiday season with some heartfelt silliness:

My inspiration, my energy, my wisdom, my gratitude, my vision, my laughter … my knowledge.

From me to you: I’m so glad I’m you’re here.

And, yes, if there’d been more than four cues, I would’ve included more of my favorite sites. 🙂

Sartre’s Spirit World

October 15, 2008October 15, 2008

Wry Catcher’s question whether the notion of spirit world addiction reminded me of Jean Paul Sartre’s Les Jeux Sont Faits, which is particularly interesting to Mormons because Sartre’s description of the afterlife happens to coincide with commonly held notions of the spirit world. Les Jeux Sont Faits is a wonderful…

Sabbath Police!! Apparently, Mormons crack themselves up making videos like these.

While the rest of us watch in horror. Or am I the only one frightened to discover that Mormons find this kind of thing amusing? As far as I can tell, this is another example of the Mormon surveillance culture that empowers anonymous snitches, got Brandon Davies kicked off a…

    Very cool and thanks! I share your sentiment for our many online communities.

    Very nicely done! Your production values and your approach are both really appealing.

    Thanks, visitor, but any praise for the production values (and approach and pretty much everything else) really belongs to these guys:

    I just hopped on for the ride there at the end (i.e., the last nine seconds).

    HAHAHAH!!! That makes it 10X more fun and ironic ;-p

    Laugh away, but I certainly hope you won’t discount any of the feelings you experienced while viewing my version of the clip just because you’re now suddenly aware of where I found it. I’d feel bad if my sincere expression of exmo camaraderie wound up being disregarded simply on account of my obvious fraud.

    No, not at all! That’s what is so ironic to me about it, that this video does equal or more justice as applied by you to our communities, as it did in it’s original rendition to Mormon Messages.

    Hey, don’t get me wrong, I appreciate you playing along. In the absence of a budget, mutual admiration is worth its weight in gold. They control the treasury, but we’ve got the numbers. Here’s to a fun 2011. 🙂

    Very clever — amazing how with a little tweaking you dramatically improved on the original. 😉
