A Little Culture

Here's a little international culture for y'all

Weekend Goodies

I know. You're like "what's with all the animation, Wells?" And I'm like, "Don't look, then."

Here are two shorts from Carlos Lascano, who I'd never heard of until this afternoon. But when he becomes a major player in the animation world, won't you be glad you were introduced to him here? You can totally lord it over all your friends and family.

The Moment

It's been found!

So upon arrival at my parents house this Sunday I noticed that my Mom had dragged a big, holey garbage bag out of the basement and proceeded to instruct me to 'look through it' to see if I wanted anything from within.

I was shocked to find videos of the following:

An old football in suits game. Shot with a single, non-moving camera, not very exciting.

The green show we performed before 'black comedy' (which had a conference session over the last half of it.)

A full copy of 'The Hothouse' (which made my day)

and...wait for it...

The Scarlet Letter Abridged!

I just about peed myself when I saw it.

It's the copy we turned in to Brownie Brown that was shown in class. Since we had no editing equipment (I remember us using two VCR's for the purpose) some of the edits are terrible and many funny images were lost (Rob acting like a baby for example).

Yet, while we were still honing our comedic chops, many funny tidbits remain (A nude Brims at the beginning is just one of them).

Anyone want a copy?

Because Mondays are for Videos

My Dad Would Be Proud

Yesterday in priesthood meeting we were talking about how intelligence is understanding truth, or something to that effect. Someone commented, "So does that mean stupidity is lack of truth?" Following a good round of priesthood belly laughs and chortles I chimed in with, "But can't someone be truly stupid?" which was met by another round of guffaws. Later, as I reflected on this verbal coup de grace, I realized it was just what my Dad would have said had he been there.

Walking Robot

I don't know if any of you saw this, but I've decided that I'm never going to walk on my own again. Or maybe I'll wait until I'm done having kids.
