Adam and I have a couple 3 Chords & the Truth episodes already in the can. They are currently at the post-production facility getting remastered, adding special effects and dubbing my voice. Yeah, you hear my raspy baritone in each episode, but without the overdub from a professional voice artist, I sound like Mike Tyson tickling Kerri Strug.

Next week, we will be joined by fan-favorite Baierman to shoot a couple more episodes. A man who is equally loved by young co-eds and old felons.

We would like to do another mailbag episode or three. So, if you have a question for us to answer wrong and stupidly, a topic you would like discussed or a story you would like to hear, pop them in the comments. We'll have Raoul print them out and do our best not to botch the lot of them.

Have a good weekend.

My wife has us signed up for so many email lists, it makes my head spin. Today was the day that I finally got one I enjoyed.  I'm sure it'd be hell to explain THAT text message (especially if you tell your wife what the numbers spell).....

 

BuzzFeed's title put it best. "Gay People Can Quote the Bible Too."

In our immediate-information and viral video society, you never can tell when a new catch phrase will organically spring into being. It's nothing new, it just spreads faster now. From "That's a spicy meatball" to "Where's the beef?" to "Eat my shorts." The catch phrases entered into our vocabulary slowly. Now it's within hours. "Play him off Keyboard Cat" and "Don't tase me bro!" spread faster than syphilis in North Carolina.

That is what has happened to the non-sensical, quasi-Sarah Palin-Jabberwocky-speak sentence "Keep F#@%in' That Chicken."

New York City newscaster Ernie Anastos has had his fair share of on-air gaffes. This one takes the taco. When talking about the upcoming weather, Ernie drops the oddest encouragement in the history of ever.

Jon Stewart will take it from here.

I have the over/under for when "Keep F#@%in' That Chicken" appears on Urban Dictionary at 3:33 pm Eastern Standard Time. The smart money is on the under. "Keep F#@%in' That Chicken" Las Vegas oddsmakers.

I no longer hate celebrity deaths for the pain and suffering it brings their families, friends, and fans. Nor do I hate the deaths for the loss of artistic genius. No, I hate celebrity deaths for the onslaught of tweets we get from marginally famous people who jump on the bandwagon quicker than born-again Christians writing letters after an episode of Project Runway. In the race to associate themselves with more talented actors, musicians, and artists, these partial-celebrities attempt to get their 140 character tribute out while the corpse is still warm.

We've collected a series of tweets that will undoubtedly go out in the future, once these celebrities kick the bucket.

Heaven forbid he would ever ask someone for directions! Another gem from Sheepfilms.

It's that time again. Chop Shop have a new T Shirt, and they're challenging us to see if we can name all the vampire silhouettes they've featured. The person who makes the best contribution in comments (as judged by me) will get the shirt in their size. That could mean the person who submits the most, or the person who just gets the hardest one. I've been told that #17 is particularly tricky, but we'll see.

A numbered version is included after the jump. As always, leave your submissions in comments. Fangs everyone (ugh).

When I worked at my old ad agency, I had a young designer work for me, who was a pretty good flash animator. Then he told me he was quitting to go to college to study Dreamworks-style Computer Generated Animation. I remember thinking at the time "why would he give up a perfectly good paid job as a flash designer to pursue some pipe dream of working in movies?'

So naturally, now he's part of the Dreamworks animation team, worked on Kung Fu Panda, and is now putting out his own shorts that win rave reviews on BoingBoing.

There's a moral here, and it's probably that you should never listen to my advice.

Some signs just don't go well together.

Or make sense.

Here are some top contenders...
