The fair lady Scarlett recently sent me a giddy e-mail demanding that I see about attending next year’s Phoenix Comicon as a guest. She appealed to my own massive ego and cooed things about my burgeoning Internet celebrity status, which was wise, but I strongly suspect that she’s just using me to get close to Wil Wheaton. Fair enough, and well played, but don’t start screaming betrayal when you walk in on me and Felicia Day macking it out behind Lou Ferigno’s booth, you filthy harlot!!
(But seriously, Felicia’s on the threesome list, and if I score I’m totally holding you to it.)
WAIT! I haven’t agreed to anything. Scarlett’s enthusiasm aside, I’m just not sure it’d be a good idea for me to show up. I could reserve a “small press” table for about $300 or a larger exhibitor’s booth for about $600 (after taxes), but either way I’m not sure I’d really fit in with the comic book set. I’m not an artist and I don’t have any products to sell. I could have a bunch of t-shirts made, but really I’d just see myself being relatively anonymous and signing a couple of autographs. It’d be a great opportunity to sell some DVDs, but I don’t have any, so that point is moot. Also, if I told you all where I was going to be, it’d be too good of an opportunity for my enemies to strike…
I don’t know. What do you think?
The time has come! The campaign has started. Nominations are over, and I’ve made the final five in the running for Mashable’s Funniest Person to Follow award.
So don’t delay! Vote for The Spoony One today, tomorrow, every day! A Walken in every pot!
Stay tuned for more election announcements and advertisements. Spread the word!
Thanks to your overwhelming support, your nominations have placed me in the top running for Mashable’s Funniest Person to Follow award. Keep it up, and don’t forget the Nostalgia Critic for Best Video Series!
Once the nominations are finalized, the voting will begin, and I’ll need your votes again so I can claim domination over all the Internets!
I have two VCRs, both about fifteen years old and they’ve both just given up the ghost. I know, who uses VCRs anymore, right? Well, sadly, most of Reb Brown’s filmography has not yet been transcribed to a digital media, and even my extensive contacts in the Hong Kong bootlegging underground aren’t wasting their time making DVDs when perfectly good VHS tapes exist.
Anyway, since VCRs are something of museum pieces now, they’re surprisingly expensive. Actually, I don’t even think you can get straight-up VCRs anymore– at least, not a decent one– since they all come as a weird hybrid with a DVD or (amusingly) a Blu-ray drive. I don’t know why I have such a hang-up against buying one of these, part of me just keeps saying “I already have a DVD player, why would I get another one?”
I’m not looking for donations or anything. I’m just curious if any of you have a relatively new-ish, functional 4-head VCR out there you’d be willing to sell.
Thanks!
EDIT: It seems the fair lady Scarlett may be able to hook me up with a VCR. I’ll let you guys know how it turns out. Thanks again!
Benzaie gave me a ton of different takes!
