Hi, two of my friends made this, and it's great -- plus they are competing for fame and fabulous prizes. So vote for it.
From the creators:
Hello friends, About two weeks ago I made a short film for this contest called "Daryl". I directed it and Bryan J. wrote it. We basically had to put the whole thing together in 48 hours. We had no budget, shot it one day and edited it the next. We think it came out well.
The contests was about "no judgements" so we created this character that is a lovable character who has to deal with judgements all the time. He is the underdog that lies within all of us.
So we just found out we were finalists and now it goes to the overall hated "popularity vote". As much as I want your feedback, I also want your votes. I am saving up for a super yacht and the 10 g's is the prize. It will help me get that much closer to my 500 million dollar dream. Go to this website and vote. You can vote EVERYDAY till NEXT MONDAY. If you don't not only will the terrorists win, but I won't invite you to my yacht-warming party.
We are also trying to do something bigger with this character so, check out his Facebook page
and be his friend.
Thanks all in advance. Be well.
Howard

My friend's instincts were keen when he thought quickly to snap this champ at ATP. According to this gentlemen, "his friends bought him the shirt" as it made them think of him. Hmmm.
Turns out, Goblin Cock is a real band. Check out the "Stumped" video.

The Pioneer CDJ-2000 = Impressive. Of note here, at least to me, is the "MIDI Mode" where allowing you to use all of the buttons as a MIDI Interface -- pretty cool if it works easily and well.
Along with playing digital files from USB and SD Card, you can use the multi-touch LCD Display to "needle skip" ahead in a track's waveform, instead of shuttle jogging the platter like a chimp. Smart.

Why look at this charming young man, one of many I am sure, who will be in attendance at The U-Turn Men Djazz Ki Djazz Shirt and Tie Affair at Bellville Manor.
According to this circular, former president Jimmy Carter will make a special guest appearance.

Congrats "Sir Clive" on making The Gayest Bike Ever!
Sadly, I rode past a man on the Greenway this morning who was struggling to pedal this thing while staying upright. It did not look easy, and he did not look pleased.
I am not an Industrial Designer, but I do rule and as such, I would like to make a suggestion. It is this: make the rear fucking wheel bigger than the front so that the bike is more stable and so the rider does not look like a chimp while attempting to pedal it.
It's time again, it's on, and it's nasty. But seriously, what the fuck. I know nothing about this dude, except that he's wild, wants to make somewhere called "Upper Manhattan" car-less. And some other shit. And it can all sort of suck nuts as I'm about to leave for this, so you figure it out...

I never realized that you shouldn't place your torpedoes inside airplane toilets, as it is not covered in this document.
I'm sure there is a much better joke hiding in here somewhere.

While in Milwaukee, I went shooting with my friends Jason and Jenny at Wern Valley Sportsmen Club in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
They had an excellent facility surrounded by beautiful grounds. In true Wisconsin style, there was a huge bar in the middle of the log-cabinish field house and under the fixed gaze of dead animals. I shot 21 out of 50. I am proud.
I would like to shoot in NY State, except possessing a shotgun in NYC seems to be a $234.25, 16-step pain in the ass.
