The students of Cynicism 101 kick ass. You know it, I know it. My recent Twitter campaign is now in full swing, and thanks to all of you, it has a proper and fitting name: Darwin Weeps. Nicole from Ninja Mom came up with that brilliant slice of linguistic pie and I'm still laughing at it. Thanks Nicole! Also, let's not forget about some great entries from the following: Meg, Chelle, Bearman, JJadziaDax, singlegirlie, Blunt Delivery, Antares Cryptos, and Nubian. You people crack my shit up - not that I ever had my shit together in the first place in order to be cracked though. What?? Nevermind.
Anyhow, something else cool happened this week (for me at least). The head honchos over at Sprocket Ink made a grave mistake by accidentally including me on an email that was meant for some other blogger, asking him/her to write for their humorous and snarky news website. In order to teach them a lesson about being careful and double checking email addresses and content, I forced them to include me on their staff as well. Since they're such nice people, they couldn't say no. Hence, through my powers of being a manipulative assface, I am now a member of the Sprocket Ink Crew. (Damn, I'm all about the hyperlinks today, amiright?) I'll post every Friday morning over there; earlier today I reviewed the iPad 2 (and practiced my martial arts kicking techniques). Quick side-note: every time I hear the phrase Sprocket Ink, I instantly think of the old Mike Myers Saturday Night Live sketches... anyone?
That old SNL skit used to crack me the hell up.
Obligatory "touch my monkey" comment.
Look at me...I commented over there and even followed them on twitter. They are welcome..haha
The only Saturday Night Live I've watched this year was when Dana Carvey hosted. Now my question is, when is Mike going to host?
Now, I'm going to check out your review. Thanks Doc!
Woot! Thanks for picking my entry, I thought Chelle had is locked up. I'll take my cash prize in doubloons.
And congrats on the Sproket Ink gig!
Yeah -good for the guys with hysterical entries -suck ups!
Now I guess there's even more to read...there goes all my free time!
Loving it and love the Sprocket thingamajig.
@ Oilfield Trash: Right?! WANT TO TOUCH THE MONKEY!
@ Dr Becca: And there you go! Totally beat me to it :-)
@ Bearman: We ARE welcome, and we thank you kindly good sir, cartoonist to the web stars.
@ Meg: Exactly! Did he EVER host after leaving? He was a helluva funny guy with great characters - miss him.
@ Nicole: Thank YOU! As a prize, I'll be sending you a bumper sticker that says "I'd rather be..." and then you fill in the rest with a hilarious comment that makes drivers behind you laugh, but then have a deep thought too.
@ laughingmom: Total brown-nosers, right? Don't worry - you're getting an A+ for all your commenting :-)
@ Nubian: Loving you loving it.
Congratulations Dieter! (I keep calling them Sprockets Inc.) Survival of the most cynical, great name. Now you can officially participate in the Darwin Awards.
Thank you for joining my great little group, but please stop trying to touch my monkey. I'm serious, STOP IT!
Darwin Weeps is a fantastic name!
And I love the Sprockets vid.
@ Antares Cryptos: Thanks! But why can't Dieter touch your monkey?
@ Lemons: Yea, Nicole had a total winner there. I miss the old school SNL...
Old SNL skits, ALWAYS crack me up!
Denny just likes seeing himself referred to as an author.
LOL. Question of the day.
@ meleah: Totally agreed - once Ferrell left, I just can't watch anymore.
@ Denny: In that case, I'll leave it up so the joke doesn't fall apart.
@ Antares: I think you lost me.
I'm so old the Mike Myers SNL sketches are the "new" ones to me.
darwin weeps..
genius.
so, what, when you become some Twittergod you're going to stop posting and forget about all of us who have formed the very foundation of WHO YOU ARE!?!??!
sorry. i needed to be dramatic for a sec.
@ Fred: It's quite sobering isn't it.
@ bluntdelivery: The twitter gods will not have me among them, I'm just stealing their resources for a while. But don't you worry Blunty, I'm here to stay true to all my hardcore students.
Hey, touch my monkey. Touch my monkey. hahahahah..
I presume I'm the first and only person to have thought of springing that one on you.
Yes.
@ Denny: You win Denny.
