Sumo Wrestling in Japan

I can't believe MySpace beat me to it! Here's the video of me getting my dainty-little-self tossed around in Japan. What you don't see is the giant hole that was ripped into my foot from Mr. Sumo's "stomping technique". Ouch. Then I had the privilege of running Ninja Warrior with said injury.

enjoy.

They. Make. TRACTORS!

I don't remember making this. I mean, I do now, having just watched it on YouTube; but I certainly didn't recall doing or saying anything in this video until I went on a net-quest to find out why people were emailing me and saying "They make tractors!"

The "not-remembering" thing is becoming more prevalent though. Forgetting sketches, improvised promos like this one, bits on Stickcam during commerical breaks, sometimes entire shows... I can't help but wonder if it's the side effect of producing too much content on a daily basis. I can only assume it is, as there's no time to really catalogue, store and sift through the mountain of media Attack of the Show churns out on a regular basis; the moment something is in the can, you already need to begin work on the next piece of content.

It's either that, or the Yaz.

One of the two.

(Side Note: In the past few days, I've received a handful of requests for "They make tractors" t-shirts. I'm far too lazy to dust off my Cafe Press account, but if you happen to make one, please let me know! I'd gladly rock it.)

Sigur Ros Fan Video: Gong

I was on the fence about this fan made music video for the track Gong by Sigur Ros until about halfway through. Then, I completely fell in love with it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Kudos to Eric Lerner for this awesome creation:

Dressing Room Shenanigans

Oh, HAI(slip)!

Protest Prop 8 With Me, Would Ya?

WHO: Me, you and everyone we know. Hopefully.

WHAT: Peaceful protesting of Proposition Eight.

WHEN: Saturday, November 15th at 10:30am. (LA Facebook Event Page)

WHERE: Check "Join the Impact" to find the location nearest you. I'll be at LA City Hall.

WHY: I'll let Keith explain. Go ahead, click the little play triangle below. It won't bite.

It's okay to be straight, and against hate. Oh snap! Someone bumper-sticker that immediately. Feel free to throw in a Darwin-fish and an Obama logo just to "hip it up" a bit.

Super Tired

Jill Wagner: Thank You Lord

Some days, work is great. Other days, it's "EFFIN' GREAT!" Yesterday was one of those days, as I had the pleasure of quizzing Jill Wagner from Wipeout, Splinter and those Mercury car commercials. I proposed, and she accepted. Then I woke up and drank more NyQuil, only to get back to my sweet Jill.

Alright, serious goggles on: Jill was very sweet and one of the more fun interviews I've had the privledge of conducting on Attack of the Show in recent history. I love it when guests are open and genuinely excited to chat on uncomfortable metal stools during live television. So if you get the chance, why don't you go see Splinter and support Ms. Wagner? I'm going to.
