My favorite part of humanoid robot demo videos is definitely when they fall over and instantly lose their minds and start violently flailing as if they're being swarmed by angry bees.

That woman getting her face eaten off by her pet chimpanzee was undoubtedly a tragedy. But on the other hand, the phrase "chimp chomp" is delightful.

theEther.com's 20th anniversary is coming up soon, and I'd like to do a spoken word show to commemorate the milestone, but I'm on the fence regarding the scale and setting. House party? Auditorium? Artsy place like Healer or the North Church Venue? Bar like Be Here Now?

Hi, weirdos. I'm looking for any sideshow performers who are available for a gig in Farmland, IN on September 19th. Jugglers and fire eaters (but not any other kinds of fire acts?) are specifically requested, but the organizer seems open to anything. Hit me up and I'll connect you to them.

Do I know anyone who speaks Hebrew, Arabic, or a similar language and would be interested in doing some spoken word recordings for a comedy project of mine? I wrote a script that's partially in Western Neo-Aramaic, and I'm looking for someone who can do an approximation of the correct pronunciation.
