Hey, ya'll! After ending my Beverly Hillbillies trivia game, I decided to create a blog! I'll ask random questions, and updates will be often, but not on a fixed schedule like the trivia game was. I hope you all enjoy this random blog run by everybody's favorite banjoist... me! Comment now if you have something to start the blog off with!

Yes, I have! It's not the best version I've heard, but it's pretty funny.
Alright, ya'll: today's topic is this... are there any neighborhoods, streets, places, etc. near you that have funny names? I live near a place called Mallard Creek, but i don't know what a mallard is. And there's a neighborhood very close to mine called Ravenswood; that's the name of the Drysdale's butler in "The Beverly Hillbillies"! Comment away!

I'm so excited! Today summer reading started where I live. It's only 25 hours. Anyway, I've had an entire series sitting in my room for half a week, and it's been driving me crazy that I haven't gotten to read them yet. But I will now! And post if there's any wierd names near you. See ya'll tomorrow!

There's a " rivendale" road near me, also a " Brandywine". If you know the " Lord of the Rings" series, those are names of towns in the books/movies.

Wow, that's interesting.
Alright, I have a new topic, but feel free to chat about any topic. This is just to get the ball rolling. My topic is: do your parents ever make you do something that you think is wierd? For instance, when I'm in a hurry and need to eat a meal in the car, my mom makes me brush my teeth before I eat. Isn't that strnage?

Nah, not really. I drew hundreds of comics, and the storylines were great, but the drawings were terrible. Then I turned to writing, but that got boring. And then I started recording. I'm more interested in art like music. Namely bluegrass.

I'm not sure, Icy Blue. They're really just circles with lines and curves for the facial features, and a scribbled line on top for hair. They're really not much to look at. I've recycled a bunch of lines from them in my audio comedies and books I've written.

Today's topic is... do you have or can you do something rare? I play the autoharp and jaw harp, I have a 1930's Gretsch guitar, and I own an original Boy Scout Handbook 3rd edition (that would be from 1928 ). How about you guys?

I can't do anything rare, but I have a few " rare" comedy movies, ( now being made not-so rare because of the magic of DVDs)
like Abbot and Costello, Marx Brothers, Monty python, and Monty Python-related old British comedy shows.

I like cats. I don't have one, but I catsit all the time. And I love Garfield! Not the president (that's an American joke). The public bus system where I live is called CATS. I think i stands for "Charlotte Area Transportation System". That's an interesting topic: do you know of any clever acronyms like that one?

I watch things on you tube, but I'm always looking up stuff that I'll probably like. I haven't come across anything awful. ( although I've seen links when I first go to the main page that look crummy, I don't click on them though.)

Haven't you seen anything that makes you go "Are you serious? That's the most stupid thing I've ever seen."? Like this, for example...

Hehe! Oh my goodness! Is that real? I thought "Cars "was stretching it!
Ok. I think I've got a " worst" youtube clip. I don't know if this movie will be good. I kinda like the other two, but the first time I saw the trailer I was like, " really?"
http://youtu.be/mVEinXUrEp0
Here's one of my favorites though. It's a neat /funny little video by comedy group " The Goodies", playing with the echos in the mountains. ( I know, some people might consider this should have been my " worst" video, but, like I say, I'm an incurable comedy geek.
)

Here's another one of my favorites it's a song parody by this Christian comedian " Tim Hawkins"; it's called " Thank God for the Dollar store". Have you ever heard of Tim Hawkins? He's really funny and musically talented as well.

Madagascar 3 looks like a pretty dumb movie to me, and I never saw the 2nd one. As for the echo, that was really good, actually, especially the part where he turns the echo off! And Time Hawkins, well, my friend's obsessed with his music. He's pretty funny, but sometimes I think he can be a little wierd. Was that a parody of "Thank God I'm A Country Boy"? Timmyfan13: You seriously own a real tiger?!? Awesome!

Jun 26th 2012
Oh, good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that was funny/neat sounding.
And yeah, that was " Thank God I'm a country boy." I like Tim Hawkins, beacause he reminds me of another singer/comedian; Mark Lowry. Have you heard of him?

Yes, I have, but I'm not as familiar with his work.
So, everyone, what movies are coming out that you look forward to seeing? Here's one of mine.

That looks cool. This is the movie I want to see; " The Hobbit". It's the prequel to the whole " Lord of the Rings" triliogy. Personally, as far as the books go, I like " The Hobbit " much better than the three " Lord of the rings" books, althoiugh they all are connected. Here's the link.

I read the Hobbit, and I didn't care for it much. Not a big fantasy fan. I've never read or seen Lord of the Rings.

I had someone else trying to get me to read it the other day. Does it have any guns or car chases in it, or does Sherlock just explain everything as the climax?
