There are many subtle ironies about this video. Most obvious is the presence of a YouTube video within a YouTube video. Slightly less noticeable is the fact that in order to make a 5 minute video about the dangers of living life in front of a glowing screen, I literally had to spend an entire summer glued to my laptop (ironically, the same laptop I was using while trapped in the virtual prison). I will not deny the fact that I am a complete hypocrite.

Awwwww, thanks guys! Winning the Emmy wouldn't have been possible without the help and support of all my friends on the Cape. It's more OURS than mine. Thanks so much, everyone!

I SHOULD celebrate Bastille Day, given my French heritage. To be honest, I never quite understood the connection between patriotism and blowing sh*t up anyway.

And for the record, Monpon, this is probably the easiest type of animation to do. Look at the trees in the background... they're totally South Park! You could definitely do something like this.

Aw, thanks CCjon! I'm actually working on learning a new animation software now, hence the Reality TV video. I thought it would be fun to mix it up a bit.

Truth be told, I absolutely HATE coffee... but I'd take caffeine from an IV if I had the option. I drink the hard stuff, Jolt Cola. I even keep caffeinated gum in my purse. I'm just a firm believer in making fun of my own weaknesses.

I see Eta and Dimensia in queen beds myself. Twin beds seem a bit snug. I imagine that Dax probably kicks a lot in his sleep, seeing as he's always having weird dreams.

Oh, the Myrbie & Dax animated cartoon is actually well under way. The thing is, after so many years of hard work I can't see myself handing them over to YouTube that easily. We'll see though, I might want to put up a few trailers.
Oh and by the way, the guy snogging the cantaloupe is Tim Hoffman, aspiring actor and voice of the animated Dax.

In response to: Running Thicke
I once started a rumor that Alan Thicke had died as a test of how quickly rumors catch on. Before I knew it, everyone was saying it! Why Alan Thicke, you may be asking youself? Because he's famous enough that everyone knows who he is, but unimportant enough that it wouldn't be all over the news if he really HAD died.

I'm glad I'm not the only creator on the Cape getting irked by all that "Cape Cod Art." I always assumed it was because I'm a bitter old hag on the inside, but now I know that I'm not alone. Power to the creative mind! Down with crappy CapeScapes and driftwood art!!

Ned, I never pegged you for the Mary Worth type. Eric Williams was also affronted by my strong views on this issue. I won't say it's not a well-drawn comic... I'm just saying it sucks otherwise. There, I said it.

I can't get into the new video games... too many buttons on the controllers! However, put me in front of some Super Mario Bros. 3 and I won't remember my own name in 45 minutes.

I think that's actually a fabulous idea! What a cool power to have. I mean, some superheros can fly or walk through walls... Myrbie & Dax can smuggle illegal Mexicans into the country via 'fro. Don't be surprised if I steal that one.

You guys are ruthless! Probably right, but ruthless nonetheless. And the Huckabee family may have HORRIBLE fashion sense, but I don't know if I'd call them obese. And Ned's right, that lesbian is 300 lbs at best.

Sound advice. I encounter "savers" on a daily basis, helpers not so much. You hit the nail right on the head.

For the record, I laughed for like five minutes when I saw the words "Ultimate" and "Manilow" together on the same album cover... in collaboration with that sexy picture of his, I laughed so hard I almost passed a kidney stone right then and there.

In response to: iChrist

That's actually really funny, because last time I was at KMart I saw the Ultimate Manilow CD and really did consider getting it for you for Christmas. Glad I didn't now, seeing that you already have it.

Yeah, I wasn't sure how else to illustrate that he was an atom without making him a lot larger than usual. A microscope seemed like the obvious answer, but I can totally understand how that would be confusing.

Oh, and my personal favorite line of lyritosis: "Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche under the roller in the night." I actually had to Google that one to find the real lyrics, since everyone I met seemed just as perplexed about it as I.

I'm not sure, really. It's kind of a myriad things. I can't quite put my (busted) finger on it. Ask anyone here who's had to deal with her. She's definitely, unequivocally, certifiably annoying. And I have a LOT of patience, so if I call someone annoying, it's serious business.

I expect that the real Grim Reaper has an Austian accent, like in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. I don't know why, but I just know this to be true. And no Monponsett, it wasn't you. As far as I can tell, you're still on my good side ;)

You're close, Ned. Mostly I imagine that Myrbie and Dax are there with me watching the Daily Show, chillin' on the couch and making smart-ass comments during the commercials. It's hard to imagine them as cartoon lovers... they're way too tall for me, and I think their 'fros would get in the way?
