So true about da banks... =/

Chance are you've already heard about how just 4 chords comprise the majority of popular "pop" songs, as demonstrated by the Axis of Awesome. However, my absolute favorite part of that starts at around 4:46

"I can see that I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane, I'm a birdplane."

BEST MEDLEY EVER!

Axis of Awesome? How about the KEY of Awesome? XD

Ha, this is so funny. This guy should be an actor whenever they need an Obama look-alike.

My new professional ambition is to be like David Thorne.

I do understand your objection to the established system of exchange of money for services and personally envision a utopian future where it is replaced with interpretive dance. We agree on a particular style that seeks to translate particular feelings and emotions into movement and dramatic expression in exchange for groceries or business card artwork. And we all own jetpacks.
In a moment of stupidity, I once agreed to design and built a website in exchange for yoga lessons. Contrary to what they would have you believe, you cannot actually embrace the sun as this would result in severe burns and your arms would need to be over one hundred and fifty million miles long. My favourite yoga move is the wriggly snake.
Unfortunately, until I can pay my rent with mantras and expressing emotional intonations through grand eloquent movements and wide swooshes of the arms before spinning and dropping to the floor while wearing spandex, I will need cash.
Regards, David.

That David Thorne guy's an asshole. XDDD A funny asshole at that. Missing Missy. LOL

[Licawolf]

Yes, he is! lol, a HUGE jerkass ... I would hate to have him as a coworker, but sometimes I wish I had the balls to treat clients people like that, and get away with it, when I'm feeling REALLY REALLY REALLY frustrated xD

Dear Shannon,
Having worked with designers for a few years now, I would have assumed you understood, despite our vague suggestions otherwise, we do not welcome constructive criticism.

 xD He's like the Dr.House mixed with a seriously frustrated graphic designer

EDIT:

I just really love this guy...

The Jumping Frog charge relates to an event early on in my career when I made the mistake of offering a client a fixed price for a two hundred page website. Once the design was signed off and the build completed over a three month period, the client requested that each page include a frog jumping around the screen because his wife liked frogs. Purchasing a frog from the local pet store and filming it by holding a camera above and a cigarette lighter behind to persuade it to jump, I spent the next two weeks incorporating it into every page of the website. A few days later, the client described the addition as "very annoying" and requested it be removed and replaced with a 3D animated frog jumping onto the screen, holding a thumb up, and speaking the words "jump on down and grab a bargain." After providing a quote for this, I was informed that the amendments would be made "under the original fixed price or no payment would be made at all." The next day, their home page was replaced with a single image of a frog giving the finger and a voice bubble stating "I jump for cash, bitch."

After fifteen years in the design industry and realising the only difference between sitting in front of a computer facilitating client's requests and kneeling on the urine soaked floor of a truck stop bathroom giving five dollar blowjobs to men named Chuck is the amount of urine on the floor, the Jumping Frog fee has evolved from insurance against post-project client suggestion to client incentive to have somebody else do it.
Regards, David.

David Thorne is one of my favorite humorists. I wish I had the mental agility and sense of simple yet sophisticated humor he uses.

A similar page I found is Don't Even Reply. This person goes on to Craig's List and finds ridiculous, awfully misspelled or otherwise terrible ads and then punks them. Eh. I find him a bit more meanspirited than David Thorne at times, so there's that caveat. Oh well. Enjoy or don't, I guess.

There goes his values out the window. What a hypocrite!

[Sajainta]

Hah.  Yeah, one of my friends showed me that Friday night while I was at his apartment.  I told him I hoped it was gay porn.  He said it was probably women in burqas showing their ankles.  SO SCANDALOUS.

[tushantin]

Been watching Sajan Re Jhoot Mat Bolo (aka, Darling, Don't Speak Lies), in which the ironic protagonist has a hard time telling the truth (hint: he doesn't; he'd rather cover a lie with another lie), and thus hires a bunch of actors and con-artists to become his family in order to fool his girlfriend's father. His best friend Raju, who disguises as the protagonist's father and a Hindu priest, is not only a foil to the protagonist but is also the biggest con-artist in the series. His constant lies and deception, and skill in twisting of words, helped him become "The Messaiah of Truth" in the eyes of his victims and even defeating the most professional Hindu priests in a battle of wits. But tomorrow's episode seems promising: Raju, the Lord of Lies, finally faces off against formidable opponent, a Spirit of Absolute Truth. Hah, should be enjoyable!

I'VE ALSO GOT GOODIES FOR YOU FOLKS!

For all Tintin fans, here's something awesome! Hope Steven Spielberg doesn't screw this up, and he'll be our hero.

Many of the emails there are hilarious too, I guess I like this kind of witty/asshole humor

Ah, darn, why does April 1 only happen once a year?


C'mon Square Enix, you know you want to create a trailer for a new Chrono game where the first things shown off are Gaspar and Emperor Dalton rockin' stylish new duds.

Mmm, what I'd give to see a new Chrono cast designed by Yusuke Naora. He totally deserves a shot at a project that big. He's an artistic genius. Heck, he's already drawn people with blue hair. He may have done some of the sprite work for Chrono Trigger (not sure what his role was exactly) so it'd be poetically just. One has to wonder if he isn't channeling his inner Chrono fan in his current design work sometimes.
