Some people think radio advertising is not so hot.
I would have to disagree...
Listen to the most brilliant radio ad that I have ever heard, and revel in the fact that someone, a mere human just like you or I, wrote this. I know it may make you feel inadequate, and wish that you had been this person, but we need to understand that we will all be better people for having heard such genious.
Joke dinner all started with December always asking Jeff and I to get him dinner because he never does his copywriting work until the last minute. One of these Tuesdays or Thursday evenings, we were out getting food and had the had-to-be-there hilarious idea to get him all the most random things off of the McDonalds drive-thru that we could get with the money that December had given us. The whole "joke dinner" ended up being rather anticlimactic, despite how funny Jeff and I still thought that it was at the time.
Anyway, from then on, December always asks us to get him joke dinner now, and finally we agreed. We changed the joke though, and decided to get him something that he at first didn't know was a joke dinner at all. That was a long intro to a short video. Enjoy.
Goats in trees is my new favorite. Did you know that goats can climb trees? They can. They taught themselves to do it because they are resourceful, and in places where all the vegetation, their food source, is up in the trees, they just climb up there to eat. The photos of it look bizarre because they don't appear to be eating anything, just hanging out. I like them. I want to go climb trees with them. We will build a fort, and play cowboys and indians with another tree full of goats. Or maybe we will play pirates. And the ground is hot lava. Yeah, hot lava.
Have you ever looked up the definition of a letter?
P:
P is the sixteenth letter of the modern Latin alphabet. Its name in English is spelled pee or occasionally pe (pronounced /piː/).
The Semitic Pe ("mouth"), as well as the Greek Π or π (Pi), and the Etruscan and Latin letters that developed from the former alphabet, all symbolized /p/, a voiceless bilabial plosive.
In English and most other European languages, P is a voiceless bilabial plosive.
Both initial and final Ps can be combined with many other discrete consonants in English words. A common example of assimilation is the tendency of prefixes ending in N to assume an M sound before Ps (such as "in" + "pulse" → "impulse").
A common digraph in English is "ph", which represents the voiceless labiodental fricative /f/, and can be used to transliterate Phi (φ) in loanwords from Greek. In German, the digraph "pf" is common, representing a labial affricate of /pf/. Those who speak Arabic are usually unaccustomed to pronouncing /p/; they pronounce it as /b/ or /v/ instead.
But last night it snowed. Here is my courtyard this morning when i woke up.
People on the east coast think we're crazy, but we still freak out about the littlest bit of snow on the ground. I don't care what they think. It's cool. Literally.

When no one has any money, this is not a bad alternative. It's totally the season to do it too... most people have leftover gift cards from "the holidays" with half-balances on them that they don't really care about anymore.
I've been making videos with my friends since I was 11. When I was home visiting for Christmas, I got some of my old Hi-8 tapes converted to DVD, and I have been doing some editing.
I thought I'd post this music video that me and my friend, Sara, made in high school.
It is an Alanis Morissette song that never made it on to any of her CDs, but it will always live on in our hearts.... ;)
So it all started with an accidental prank call that I made to Starbucks. I called the store where David works, hoping that he would answer, so that I could ask him a question. He didn't answer, so I didn't feel like bothering with making the girl go get him and everything because it wasn't all that important. I found myself asking the girl a made up question about what frappacinos are, and what kinds they had. I figured it was harmless enough, but then I felt like the biggest loser ever because I had just accidentally prank called Starbucks my myself in my car.
Later that day, Gabby and I were hanging out and we were bored. I told her about my phone call, and we had the idea to prank call his store with a planned-out scenario. We concocted a little story:
I am going to be a crazy lady calling the store with a 2-fold question. First, I'll explain that I accidentally knocked a 1 lb. bag of Sumerian Blend coffee beans into my garbage disposal. I'll ask what they think I should do about it, and if I can just turn on my disposal or if they think the beans will break my disposal. The second part is that I want to see if I can get their store to replace the fallen beans with no charge.
When we call the store, David answers. I start telling him the story, and I begin without even changing my voice because we hadn't planned on David being the one to answer the phone. He doesn't recognize my voice, but I slowly get more and more Wisconsin, by default. (?) So we didn't think to start taping it until this point, the same point at which I decide to ask him if he personally can come over and get the beans out of my disposal... (here is a short clip from the middle of the conversation)
So my camera cut off, but he did agree to come over and help out a crazy stranger for $50. I guess now I know if I want anything from him there's my price.
client.
