Okay so every year you need to send holiday cards to everybody you don’t really care about but someone you’re caught in an infinite loop of sending holiday cards to each other. It’s not hard to quickly amass a list of one or two hundred people who you’re going to send a card to. Then to top it off at the end of the season you’ve got to send thank you cards for the gifts you get.
Lets say cards cost 50 cents each and postage is also 50 cents a piece. If you send 100 cards that’s $100!.
But what can you do? Sure you could send E-cards but then you look like you don’t care (do you) and you’re cheap.
So here is my solution a charity that charges 50 cents per e-card sent.
Each e-card would note that the user was charged and the money that would have gone to postage instead goes to charity and helps out those less fortunate in the holiday season. Instantly you go from looking cheap to a hero!
Plus it saves you money for you so there is a double incentive. Of course we could also charge $1 per card which at 100 cards is an extra $100 to charity. That is a huge amount. Everybody wins.
It would be a viral idea too at the bottom of the cards it could have a tag-line something like “Why waste on postage? Send you’re Christmas cards via Acme Charity Cards”. Of course this could be expanded to other card sending occasions as well (birthdays) and make the cards very customizable so it’s actually better than a paper card anyways.
There are some jokes I tired that didn’t get a good laugh. I don’t know why I share the worst with you, but mostly I wanted to post to the blog in non video form but didn’t want to do any extra work.
Enjoy and relish in my misery.
Aim for the pie in the sky but if you were in the sky would you want pie, I’d be afraid of getting too heavy and falling through the cloud to my death - I don’t really think clouds can hold a lot of weight - hmm.. I wonder how fat(heavy) people deal with that, problem in heaven (taking it too far?)… that might sound like I’m making fun of fat people not so, bodybuilders, also screwed
It’s great that people pursue there dreams no matter how far fetched, because without them who would fail miserably, have missed the boat on education and take a job as a a Carine, or medical test subject, filling a valuable role in society. Seriously without failed actors, rockstars and comedians, who would buss tables, society would be crewed without us. Be thankful.
If urine as ammonia and ammonia is a sanitizer, then as a restaurant cook I think I should be required not to wash my hands, you do want clean food don’t you.
Meat quality should be judged based on original cuteness of the animal you’re eating, cow ok, but baby cow - viel, way better, naturally rabbits are even cutter, and tastier!
If you wanna know who the US will invade next then look at the color of the US on a map, then look for every other nation that’ the next target. Map makes know these things and plan ahead so we don’t need to replace our maps, nice guys. Or get an old map maybe ten yours old, you’ll notice the US is green, and hmm… so is iraq, and korea, and…. France?
Back in cave man times it would have been great to be the one non-religious guy in the tribe- they lay out a sacrifice for the goats of five goats and a virgin, you sneak back in the night and take it. If they think the sun is God, you sell them shiny rocks. Or maybe just to screw with them if there is only once source of water you go to the river and bless it, making it holy water so they can’t drink it.
Here are the latest two flat world reports, I know I haven’t done much regular blogging recently, sorry about that but I’ll get on it soon.
I’m also thinking about another video project called “The Idea” which will come into play over the holidays.
Anyways here are the videos. (If you click the link it will take you to the Revver page where you can also view them and grab the embed code to put the video on your site, blog, myspace ect)
The following post is syndicated from the Flat World Report .com.
I’m actually quite proud of this one. There is another FWR that I did a few days ago and it wasn’t syndicated here you’ll need to go over to the official FWR site to find it.
It’s the flat world report, top headlines. You’ll laugh so hard suicide will seem like the only way to make it stop, but don’t worry after three minutes we’ll free you back into the mundanity of the round earth.
So if you enjoyed this I really would appreciate you sending it on, you can send people to this page or by any of the ways below.
I decided to see what would happen if I filmed the podcast then ripped the audio and gave you either option so here is that.
I’ve also been writing the next Flat World Report it’s gonna kick the last one in the ass.
It was hard because I was trying to read notes, look at the camera and was constantly distracted by the picture of myself onscreen as I talked. Will do better next time.
What happens when I have a day off, well I do some cleaning then bust out another flat world report. I feel I took some steady steps forward with this one, including intro music.
Edit: It looks like the audio is a little bit off track, I recorded it separately it looked right on my computer needless to say I spend a number of hours frustrated at my computer.
So today I launched a new product called exclaimable here is a quote for what it is:
Exclaimable is your chance to sound off using video, audio, pictures or text - in real time.
This is no uploading service; Exclaimable wants you to express your creativity here and now, using our built-in video and audio capture, painting and text composition tools. Then share it with the world by embedding it on your website, blog, profile or anywhere you like.
Here is a video I recorded just seconds ago for you about rice:
So yeah there’s the basic idea for my newest project. One of the best parts if you can embed your creations of audio pictures and text wherever you want eg myspace, facebook ect (similar to youtube).
Here we go, I bought a better mic so it should sound better than it has recently. I’m pretty happy with the show. Really when it comes right down to it it’s the jokes that I plan on stage testing soon, of which maybe half will work enough that I’ll do them a second time on stage, (and there probably two or three times the ideas that where whittled down to this).
Anyways be happy and enjoy…To lazy to type a list of topics.
Oh also I have a big web announcement coming in the next few day’s you’ll love it.
Stay tuned for a ’save the jokes’ podcast in a day or two for your chance to tell me what jokes that didn’t work well the first time are actually great and need to be given another go
I’ve been struggling with direction for this blog, you may notice that I don’t tend to stick to things for very long. I guess that’s the point, I’ve finally realized what this blog should be called, it’s ‘my creativity blog’ its not about the finished product, but a breeding ground of ideas.
I know it’s been a while since the podcast, it kinda bored me it was becoming too much just my standup jokes (through it has helped me figure out what it workable), maybe that’s not a bad things just felt weird.
What I’m working on
I just finished filming the 0.2 FlatWorldReport
I think I’ll remix my spam song and make the recording better
What should I work on?
I used to do a lot of text post and rants, should I start doing those again or is the podcast better?
I haven’t done cartoons in so long should I do some?
Do I keep doing podcasts?
As a side note if anyone ever wants to do a podcast involved a bit of a banter and playing with ideas taking things way to far let me know as I think that would make a fun podcast, sorta like we present a grand idea then fine flaw in it then expand it and cover our tracks with foolproof (but idiotic logic)…we’ll call it politics (cheap shot)…
Well I had every intent on giving you a podcast today but then I had an idea and decided to do that instead. I wrote a song about SPAM. It was done idea-to-upload in about an hour so at some points it lacks consistency to the music, but I’ll give myself a pat on the back anyways.
Since It’s audio I think I’ll include it in the podcast feed.
Take a look at the preview of our bet on basketball online services and see why we have become one of the largest, most respected sites for NCAA football betting and bet on baseball via the Internet.
