All Narfed Up » Funny http://allnarfedup.com words (and some photography pre-2010) by Bryan Villarin Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:30:40 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 The Pearls Before Swine blog http://allnarfedup.com/2009/08/03/the-pearls-before-swine-blog/ http://allnarfedup.com/2009/08/03/the-pearls-before-swine-blog/#comments Tue, 04 Aug 2009 00:44:05 +0000 Bryan Villarin http://allnarfedup.com/?p=2717 Are you subscribed to the Pearls Before Swine blog by Stephan Pastis? Do it. Now.

A recent favorite post: “I Will Save The World.”

If you love his comic, his blog is…gravy to a turkey. A1 Steak Sauce to a steak. Ice cream to a chocolate chip cookie. A Drobo (with eSATA support) for a photographer. Wait, something doesn’t belong. My bad.

Anyway, you’re welcome.

The vortex of dry humor and confusion drew me in right from the start.

From the net_work page at Black20:

Forget what you know about sitcoms. Forget what you know about the way stories are supposed to go. net_work is office comedy for a new generation.

It’s two Internet video producers and the strange world that surrounds them. It’s business unusual.

The only two things you can expect of net_work are: Mike will be Mike, and Michael will be Michael.

One of my early favorites is “Separates,” which was back in Season 1. (They’re currently in Season 4.)

You’re welcome. :)

I just decided you will be my cinematographer if/when I ever decide to shoot some video.

Nice. :)

P.S. Can my decent photography skills1 really carry over to video? *shrug*

I haven’t made a list here in awhile, so I thought I’d share in hopes you’d like them, too.

Yes, most of these are photography-related. I don’t have any favorites…I love them all equally! The last one is definitely the oddball out of the others, but sometimes I just want mindless humor. :)

One more thing: listening to podcasts don’t require the use of an iPod. You can listen to them on your computer, any MP3 player, or burned onto a CD-R disc.

Enjoy!

There were enemy soldiers pursuing me.

At one point, there was an abandoned yellow bus which I momentarily took refuge behind. Inside were a bunch of Dunkin Donuts coffee bags. I was almost out of coffee grounds, so I gathered as much I could fit in my Jack Pack, then we bolted out.

The coffee grinds were my ammo. I fired them out of my AeroPress and they exploded upon impact. I basically had a handheld mortar.

While I was running, I could distinctively remember thinking, “What kind of lame weapon is this?”

An enemy soldier got in front of us and tried to shoot, but his rifle jammed. I quickly fired my AeroPress and blew him up to smithereens.

Then, I woke up. It was 5:26am this morning. I immediately emailed myself the following:

Dream last night: involvement fighting in some war in the Middle East. Weapon of choice? AeroPress.

Go ahead and laugh. :)
