Pierre Trudeau Video Contest

Sketch22 recently entered the Funny or Die "Pierre Trudeau said there'd be days like this" video contest.  This Canadian-focused contest asked participants to upload a 2-minute video with the criteria that "Pierre Trudeau said there'd be days like this" included somehow in the video.

The top five videos would be chosen and on Oct.2 would be shown at the Rivoli in Toronto before an audience, who would then vote for their favourite among the five.  The top vote-getting video gets $1000.00.



Sketch22's video has made it into the top five!!

I don't think we'll win (that would be the Days Like This video, I'm guessing), but I think ours is Top Two material.

UPDATE: So, the winning video was "Everyday Life (Reality Show)". It was my second least favourite of the five. Go figure.

Here are the Top Five:

Not sure if any of the Sketch crew will be able to make it to Toronto to represent, but let's all send good PEI vibes to the Rivoli on Tuesday night!

Hooray for San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders!

Two years ago, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders campaigned that, if elected, he would veto a same-sex marriage bill.  Now, after being elected, and with the bill before him, he finds he cannot bring himself to veto it.  This is his press conference where he announces his decision. Well worth the 5:30 length.

Good for him for doing what he thinks is the right thing.

Would You Do Your You?

If you happened to meet yourself, identical in pretty much every way to the you you now are, except that the you you meet is of the opposite sex, would you try to have sex with yourself?  I mean, with your opposite gender you?

What if you were drunk and met your other-gendered you, also drunk, at a house party?

For the gay people:  Would you fuck yourself?

Friendly Familiarity Pays Off

My morning work routine involves a 10am walk to Robins Donuts for an Extra Large Double Double.  That is my routine.  Robins in the morning.  Lately, though, my routine has been tempted to change due to the opening of a new coffee shop on the first floor of the building in which I work (the ATC).
It's not the coffee they serve that's tempting the change.  It's the friendliness of the people who work there.

The first day The HardDrive Cafe opened, I bought a coffee and the owner (Kevin?) introduced himself to me.  He said he knew of me from Sketch22 etc.  A friendly, outgoing sort of guy.  When he see me walking by, he makes the effort to wave at me.

I still kept getting my morning coffee at Robins (where the staff is also friendly to me), but in the afternoons, if I feel I need another coffee, I'll frequent either Robins, Timothys (now that they're once again open, now in their new location),and The HardDrive.

A couple days ago, I was walking back from Timothys with a coffee, and he waved as I walked past.  I didn't try to hide my coffee but felt a bit of guilt when I waved back.  This morning, I was on my way to Robins.  I walked past and he waved and say "Hi Rob!".  I waved and said "Hi" back.  I left the building and got half-way to Robins when I stopped and changed my routine.  Because he was friendly to me, I stopped and walked back and got my morning coffee at the HardDrive.

I don't know if that will be my new routine, but it might be.  Why it might not be:  HardDrive's largest coffee isn't big enough for me in the morning.  Although it is less expensive.

Today, though, his friendly familiarity paid off.

Sketch22 - Funny Or Die - Gay Divorce Sketch

About two weeks ago, Sketch22's "producer with the Orange Juicer", Jay-Ro (or Ro-J) [hey, I'm trying to make this post topical with a weak OJ Simpson vibe to it] was contacted by THE guy who runs (or A guy who works for) the website Funny Or Die (that's the website that was co-founded by Will Farrell, or something, where people can upload videos and then viewers vote whether the videos are "Funny" or if they "Die") [and THE Guy who contacted us is, like Will's best friend or something] {so really, it's like Sketch22 is now a good friend of Will Farrell - tell your friends!} (this sentence, by the way, will be nominated to the "Most Parentheticals In A Single Sentence" category at the upcoming Grammarian Awards [held this year in Nunavut,NWT].

The guy said he saw some of our online video stuff and really liked it (aw shucks and blush!) and said we should enter a video into a new contest coming up.  Apparently, they're launching a Canadian .ca version of the site and to kick that off, they're having a contest.  Some of this info may be incorrect.

The challenge of the contest is this:  Videos are to be 2 minutes or shorter, and each video must contain, in some way, the phrase "Pierre Trudeau said there'd be days like this".  Anyway, we submitted a video, even though we only had about a week to

come up with an idea, shoot and edit it (there, that's our excuse if

you end up not liking the video).

You can see our submission here:  Sketch22's Funny Or Die "Gay Divorce Sketch"

We'd love it if you watched it and voted it "Funny".  If you happen to not care for our video, and if your morals allow you to do so, we'd love it if you still voted it "Funny".  The very future of Sketch22 depends on your voting that video "Funny".  Nay, the very future of humanity hinges on you - yes, you, sitting there at your office computer, or at home, or in some coffee shop, living your boring, dull life - voting this video as "Funny".

The Day I Ran Away From Womb

It was 42 years ago today that I decided to pack my bag and leave the first home I'd ever known.  I'm sure my mother was glad for me to go. Yes, it was a pretty sweet life I was leaving.  After all, free womb and board isn't something to sneeze at. But, I was out-growing my environment and just felt it was time to see the rest of the world.

3:10 To Yuma

Went to see this last night at the local cinemaison (did I just coin a new term?  I doubt it.  Probably as old as the hills.)

Out of five bullets, I'll give it:  Three to the chest, one in the stomach, and one that wings the non-shooting arm.
