Video: Rory and His Gogs are Back - Felix's Future

It's been an amazing day.

I discovered only a few hours ago that if I make my oven warm and then put bread in it, the oven somehow converts the bread into toast. This works for crumpets, too. You put a raw crumpet in, walk away for a few minutes, come back, and you have crumpet toast.

Then, because of the heat, if you apply butter to the toast, the butter melts and gets lodged in the toast. It won't come out. The only way you can get it out of the toast is to eat it.

That's what I've been working on. You?

Glorious as that is, it isn't quite as spectacular as the further divinations that I divined with Felix.

In this short addition to the previous video, I tell Felix about his future. His dog. His womens. His safety. His dog's safety. His womens's safety.

Crap. My upstairs neighbors are fighting again. They fight, like, every god damned minute. And they never sound like they're having any fun while doing it.

There was this one time when they had a pumpkin the size of a Volkswagen on the front porch for three months. Then the pumpkin rotted, putting the porch and the health of everyone around in danger, so they removed the pumpkin.

I wasn't there when they removed the pumpkin, but, judging from the aftermath, it's apparently impossible to remove a large pumpkin from a porch without rolling the thing down the stairs, at the bottom of which the pumpkin squamshes into a large pile of goo. Then the pumpkin, rather than rotting at the top of the stairs, rots at the bottom of the stairs. Fortunately, the pile of squamshed pumpkin is in the middle of the path to my half of the duplex. I can't imagine how unbearable life would be if I didn't have to smish through a pile of squamshed pumpkin every day as I enter and leave my home.

They're nice people, but their arguments and squamshed pumpkin are more involved in my life than I'd like them to be. Sometimes I think about how funny it would be if I took about a gallon of rotting squamshed pumpkin (that's about 1/80th of the total squamshed pumpkin), broke into their house, and dumped the gallon of rotting squamshed pumpkin in their bed with a poorly drawn sign that said: "YOU."

I don't know what it means. I just think it would be funny. If they found that in their bed, then maybe they'd stop arguing. Instead, they could wonder why somebody would go and put a gallon of rotting squamshed pumpkin in their bed with a sign that said: "YOU."

I also think it would be funny to fill their bathtub with squamshed pumpkin, and also their freezer, and then it would be REALLY funny if I broke the sunroof of their car and dumped ten gallons of squamshed pumpkin inside.

When I was done, there wouldn't be any squamshed pumpkin left in my path, and my neighbors would have something to laugh about for once.

If only I had more time...

Oh, yeah. Video:

- Yuvi - Yuvi's out working on some school stuff, but someone needs to be linking to the guy until he gets back in March. I shall be that guy. There are other guys who're being that guy, too. But not at the exact same time. That's why I'm still the guy. As long as there's no overlap, we can all be the guy.

- Astrid - Astrid lucked out the other day when I didn't call her to unload all my problems. I still have her number, though, and I still have problems. I also have plenty of squamshed pumpkin left to put in her fridge. I hear people think it's funny when they find squamshed pumpkin in their homes.

Curiously I was pointed to this stupid web gadget today:

http://www.criticsrant.com/bb/reading_level.aspx

Determine your blog's reading age. Mine's "Junior High" apparantly, Rory, your's is "Elementary School."

Which means that yours is easier to read I guess, I'm not sure which is good and which bad. Somehow though, I thought you'd find a perverse pride in this revelation.

Dammit though, now I have to watch the video to comment further, fortunately the servers are all kaput at work, and I've very little to do until they return.

Darnit, I set the tests going which takes a million years (figuring I had the time) and now the servers are back up, and I could be doing something useful, but now VS is full on busy.

Anyway more of "Future-Nazi Rory Pervs into the future for Felix's sexual gratification" nice to see synchronised dog-calling though, you don't get enough of that on the internet these days. (Seriously, if you can find 300 odd people with the same name dog, and get them all to call their dogs simultaneously I predict you'll be all over the frontpage of MeMeMeTube.)

Also apropo of nothing, (has no-one else commented... Jeeze, it's been about 13 years since i wrote the last comment.) I read this today, and thought you lot would appreciate it:

http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/boat-dog.php

'tis the funney. Honestly. I shall quote out of context to prove it:

"That's my dream in life. To have a boat and a dog and combine the two. No moochy women, no judgmental friends, just me and my dog sailing the open ocean but not too far away from land because there are pirates out there. Not the eye patch and parrot type but the fucked up rocket launcher type."

See, funny... And poorly spelled, according to this spell-checker thingamy, but that could be an English / Ameritard thing.

My site too is elementary school. I intend to test this with a random 2nd grader I'll pick up off the street. I have a feeling that 'elementary school' is poetic license. I'll let you know.

But anyways, about the future prediction, I was really excited for a moment when Rory, wearing the future gogs, said "Cindy" (in real life, that's my name). I looked at Felix and thought- "wow, okay, he's probably still cute covered in dog explodie and I think I might still give him my number." But then, when you did the last name thing I realized I was not the lucky girl who gets to be exploded on by Felix's dog. I'm kinda sad. For a moment there, I was really looking forward to it.

I think Felix's deadpan is a great contrast to your craziness. You make a video team. Use your gogs to see whether or not you and Felix will be making any more amusing skits together.

And PS- living on the top floor is nice and peaceful. The stairs keep my calves nice and well shaped, so I can't even complain at that. I'm not sure my couch is as cool as yours, though. And my spiders are defiantly not so macho.

Oh, and about this blog's look vs Lloyd's, I really think that this blog has a nice look and feel to it. It also looks better on my wide screen monitor and the text is more readable. It's clearer in general. I think maybe you just might be sick of it.

I could critique it in depth and give some suggestions of change, but overall I don't think the look of this is inferior by any means.

Okay, I couldn't resist:

http://www.flixster.com/user/cjd9562

She and Felix could be a cute couple, although I don't know what would bring her from Texas to Oregon in March.  Also, she may have ripped off her avatar from Cameron Diaz, so consider yourselves warned.

Alsoalso: you and Felix are both equally pretty.

Don't feel you have to share your squamshed pumpkin with me or my fridge, although I'm sure you'd do it with the best of intentions.  However, you may feel free to call me anytime-- wait, no, don't call between 11pm and 8am PST.  But, yeah, call me anytime, since by 'anytime' I now mean 'anytime between 8am and 11pm.'  Yeah.

Massif -

"Determine your blog's reading age. Mine's 'Junior High' apparantly, Rory, your's is 'Elementary School.'"

That's good news. The Rory Propaganda Machine is accessible to young children. I can start training them early for their later compulsory entry in The Army of Neopoleon.

I just imagined a picture storybook with my content in it. Your character biting the head off a rowdy hamster paratrooper. I could emotionally scar an entire generation. They'd be puddingheads by the time they "grew up".

Thank you for showing me that site. It fits into the Rory the Future Nazi plans.

"(Seriously, if you can find 300 odd people with the same name dog, and get them all to call their dogs simultaneously I predict you'll be all over the frontpage of MeMeMeTube.)"

I wonder if you know just how good an idea that is. The only thing in my way is that I dislike most people and would rather not deal with them.

"'tis the funney. Honestly. I shall quote out of context to prove it"

I try not to read things that other people think are funny. I get jealous. I also don't want someone else's humor to taint my own.

I might look, though.

I might not!

Oh, the suspense...

When I was editing it, I thought of you when I got to the "Cindy" part. I didn't have anyone in mind when I said it, though. Like everything else in these videos, I have no idea what I'm going to say until I've heard myself say it.

I think Felix laughed because a mutual friend of ours - this rather notorious figure - dated a girl named Cindy back in high school. Without knowing the mutual friend, it's hard to communicated what Felix picked up on in a second regarding this person.

'Course, he might also have just laughed because he wanted to. Dunno.

As for phone numbers and such - believe me - you'd give him your number. The guy has a sort of Jude Law thing going on. Less so now than a few years ago - he's grown his hair out and has moved down his own genetic path. But, he had a photo of Jude Law up as his MySpace photo, and nobody noticed. I didn't even notice, and I've known him since I was about sixteen or seventeen.

It's hard to describe his look. It has a femininity to it. Masculine jaw, but striking female features in some ways. I've always thought of him as beautiful instead of handsome.

Anyway, he does something for the womens, as they constantly tempt him with their fleshy offerings.

I've been told that, but I don't buy it for a second. The guy has a perfect jaw, amazing eyebrows, and intense eyeballs.

I'm excessively charming, though, and that's a fine, fine thing.

I do wish he'd cut his damned hair. He looks a lot better with the short hairdos. I don't know why he won't do it. I've been pushing him, but does he listen? NOOOOOOOOOO...

i have some photos around here somewhere of him with the short hairs. I ought to post one, though I'd have to locate 'em first. I have far too many old archived documents, email, files, and so on. I just about have my entire life on drives in various boxes.

Should probably take better care of them...

Yay another one! :D

I'll have to try that crumpets thing. Does it work for waffles? (I love that word :))

Linkage ftw. I shall repay you soon; spreading word of Roryism to the masses.

As for having a cool looking site... switch to Wordpress. It's beautiful. You have to touch it like 3/4 times a year at most. Ever. The rest, including static pages, can be done from WL Writer (which rocks).

Unless you want to upload images (which is a farce to do when you don't know how) it's simple once you get the hang of it.

And ooooh yeah I have a cool site. Unless you mean my blog, because that wasn't me. Homepage == me though :)

In having a cool site, it does help if you have a "General Funkiness" category. Nearly everything goes into that category :P

The linkies are up Rory, hit http://lloydhumphreys.com/misc/rory/ for the full stuff, and: http://lloydhumphreys.com/blog/?p=148

Enjoy!

I usually like more top 'o the head hair on manfolk, so you'd defiantly have to prove this with some photo evidence.

"As for phone numbers and such - believe me - you'd give him your number."

Considering how free I am with my phone number, that really isn't saying much. Approve as a friend on Facebook? Flirt with over a network using the 'net send' command? These are the great mating rituals...

And since I'm a <a href="http://www.ccceramics.com">potter</a> as well, I can work up to that scene in Ghost only I'm the one in the driver's seat and there's some extra hip motion because I only have a kick wheel right now.

Wait.. .. .

WTF was I talking about?

"As for having a cool looking site... switch to Wordpress."

Word. I'm doing pretty well with it at my blog. It likes to give me some grief about spacing sometimes, though. One day a little angel or minor deity will land on my shoulder and tell me how to make it stop ignoring spacing tags with some simple fix.

Okay, it didn't like me making a link with html. I was linking to http://www.ccceramics.com which tells all about my double life as a potter.

Interestingly, I have been doing similar research. I have been making my fridge cold and putting toast into it, but I have been unable to get it to convert back to bread.

Perhaps we can collaborate.
