Let’s Save Our Environment

July 29, 2005 on 2:38 pm | In Funnyish by tavis |

One day my uncle picked up a hictchiker going down Topanga Canyon Blvd. The hitchiker gave my uncle a packet containing a cd-rom video and a few pages of song lyrics and the synopsis/proposal for a movie called “Kathy and Erol”. Here is the video for your consideration (click load and then the play arrow near the bottom):

Well, he isn’t wearing a tutu, but he is wearing that Stuart Smalley sweater. He also calls himself Dancing Butterflies.

Not Butterfly, not Dancing Big-Ass Moth with a Rakish Toupee, but Butterflies. I suspect he uses the royal We when speaking about himself.

All I can be sure of is that this situation required serious meds. Since it’s been 3 years, it’s probably far too late to save him from total, crippling social humiliation.

My God. That was awful. But I approve of the use of Flash video (since I test it for work every day). :)

He doesn’t appear to be quite in earnest… :-) well, maybe about the message, but not about his “art.”

I want my 10 minutes back…

Oh god, that was a real shocker. People who wanna save the world need to be cool, like the guy who writes the dreamhost newsletter knows how to get me suckered into reading a bunch of virtually useless stuff - if only he used his power for good. There’s one thing that these 2 strange entities have in common… (i mean the dreamhost guy and the seriously uncool guy in the flick) they know how to degrade themselves for the greater good of us. The world would be a lot less colourful without them!! Go the dreamhost blog! ROCK ON LEDGENDS!

That’s a real shame.

btw, did you guys create that little player or is there somewhere a commentator can download it?

I didn’t think I was gonna make it till the end, but I stuck it out. Holy smokes, was that tough.

I don’t often pick up hitchhikers but I’ll try to remember that under no circumstances should I ever accept a CD.

Tavis made that little player himself, in flash!

Note the confusing “mute” button. (It shows what clicking it WILL DO, rather than what it’s currently set at!)

This song will surely hit number 1, I want the lyrics so I can learn it, a classic :)

It wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the dancing.

um…yeah. that sucked. makes me want to destroy our environment (ok, not really, but if anything i don’t want my care of the environment to be associated with that).

I am speechless. If this is the first thing posted, how can Dreamhost possibly go anywhere else but up?

I am with Anne on that one. I am sure the lyrics were clever, for those who could understand.

This video makes the most convincing case yet, that computer technology should not be made available to ordinary citizens.

much like the drivers license, this controls access to the internet and all things computer related =|

is this why mom and dad told me to never pick up a hitchiker?

was he on his way to the mental hospital? geesh - wacked video - but maybe, just maybe we could get a wanted poster going to locate him - i mean, he can dance - who wouldn’t want to see more of that? muhahaha

Let’s Save Our Environment at Dreamhost

The official Dreamhost blog has posted an entry with a video called Let’s Save Our Environment. Tavis (the author of the entry) says the video came from a hitchhiker that his uncle picked up a while back. The hitchiker gave…

scary fella…. but come to think of it…. what really scares me is when I try to figure out what made tavis post such a thing… I’m sure there are enough weirdo sites trying to make a living off freak videos.. not really sure dreamhost’s blog is one of them.. or is it?

anyway.. I’ve always said it and I’m saying it again… do not try to understand american “freedom of speech”.. just live with it..

ps: JOSH rocks! anxiously waiting fot the next monthly newsletter… you’ve got the wrong job! Josh, be a writter/comedian! you’ll make more money!

Let’s Save Our Environment (Creepy Video)

Found this over at the new Dreamhost blog. I’m serious, those cats have a sense of humor. Anyway, it’s a really creepy video of this guy dancing around like a loon and singing a song about saving the environment. It…

I can’t think of any way I could degrade myself more than creating a CD of myself singing (uh, off-key) with strange lyrics, a funny shirt, rug, and I guess that was butterfly dancing? That was horrific and I too want my 10 minutes back. But, on the other hand I did get a few chuckles out of the comments.

You know what? My day has sucked so bad that this made me laugh out loud. Too bad I can’t get that melody out of my head now… but reading the comments made me chuckle. Thanks for the daysaver.
