The title pretty much says it all. I took a bunch of REALLY NASTY armpit stains and sewed them together into a shirt. Then I cajoled a couple girls into wearing it and--SHAZAM!--you got high fashion on your hands. Fashion design is going to be a fallback career for me if the whole Voice Actor thing doesn't work out.
Last thanksgiving I was visiting my cousin in New York, and it was really cold. Plus thanksgiving isn't a very youth-friendly holiday--there's no fireworks, no candy, no presents--all you do is eat and watch football, so we decided to make a short movie. We thought about doing a puppet show about John McCain's internment in Hanoi, but then my cousin's roommate Kevin Freeney had an idea for a short movie about watertowers. Kevin Freeney is doublejointed and makes tons of interesting media. His whole psychology and system of personal grooming is based on that of Steve Zissou.
Missionaries are retarded. I mean, what could be more condescending than traveling all the way to a foreign country just to say, "I don't know anything about you, except that your traditions and culture are wrong." That's the job of the US Army, for chrissake. Get a gun or go home.
But back in the old days missionaries were BAD ASS. They didn't just ride around on bicycles and shove pamphlets under your door---they would wrestle you to the ground and give you titty-twiseters until you excepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior. And the king of all the missionaries was a Jesuit named Francis Xavier. He is credited with converting more pagan souls to a monotheistic worldview than anybody since St. Paul. Here's a video I made with the Japanese comedian Zenjiro, where Francis Xavier introduces you to God through his unique blend of humor and theology. Zenjiro has traveled all over the world performing standup, so I guess he's kind of like the Francis Xavier of comedy, ironically enough.
Oh yeah, and it's in Japanese. Sorry.
I've been working on this cowtipping documentary for a long time, but that's not going to prevent me from leaving it on the back burner indefinitely. But in the meantime---which will probably be a very MEAN amount of time---here is a sort of preview of what the movie will be about.
