the teaser...

Look what I found at a garage sale earlier this summer. Jealous?



If you look closely, you will see a copyright date of 1982 (click on the picture). These are the real deal. Petrified blue gum stick and all.

Wanna see the cards inside? Well, reread the title of this post.

The feel good bird of the century.

Before I started blogging, I sent this video around to my friends. All 3 of them. So if you are one of the few, I apologize for this.

I was just sorting through my email to free up space in my gmail account and I rediscovered this fantastic bird. I wish I had a bird just like it with one exception: He dances to Nine Inch Nails. Then we could get our groove on.

Anyway, I sincerely hope this brightens your day. Enjoy:

R.I.P. "In a World" Guy.

Don LaFontaine, the most recognized voice in movie trailers, died from complications of a collapsed lung. The vocal master was the voice over guy for all of the best movies. I bet he was even the trailer-voice for The Best Movie Ever.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family. His voice will truly be missed in the months leading up to summer blockbuster season. There will never be a voice as suited to action movie voice over work as his.

Having said that, there is now a void. A void I think I can fill. Click Here to revisit a post of mine from a few months ago that's directly related. I have a good feeling about my chances. Don LaFontaine was from Duluth even!

The full story is here.

In all seriousness, rest in peace Don LaFontaine.
