The Somewhat Ambitious

Tim and Eric.
Apart from being one of the best things on television, Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job stars one of the most terminally brilliant F-grade celebrities of all time, David Liebe Hart. For those of you unfamiliar with Hart, he ran a show on LA public access television, entitled The Junior Christian Science [...]

As the loser of No Fuck Friday 2, Luke had the dubious honor of getting waterboarded today, with milk. Manchux (who can be seen holding the teatowel over Lukes head) was there, as were a bunch of our friends, all apparently giddy at the prospect of seeing Luke drowned in full cream milk. Let us [...]

Probably the hottest photo ever. And what better way to kick of the third edition of NO FUCK FRIDAY! Last week, it was almost a dead heat between my christian music video about babies, and Luke with his track My Pal Foot Foot by The Shaggs. I won, but that doesn’t mean this week will [...]

- The repurcussions of the whole twitter hacking/facebook hacking/erotic Marieke debacle of the past few weeks!

My girlfriend TJ is over in Shanghai, and whipped up this popart wallpaper of sorts, for The Somewhat Ambitious. I’m very chuffed. It’s a pretty fair representation of how we both behave with a camera on us. Luke is calm, collected, and charming. I turn into an utter goon.

Holy hell, what a show this morning. Still recovering from Lindsays epic on-air hiijacking of my twitter account, and his call for listeners to make live tweets via my account. Here are a few highlights:
@paulverhoeven is listening to linds talk about him on his drive home and its given him a stiffy.

Ever wondered what Swine Flu would sound like if it were transcribed into music?
Yeah, I know. Me neither. But Stephan Zielinski has done so, seemingly unwilling to respect my unwillingness to be not oblivious about this thing and also the stuff*. Basically, Zielinski wrote code to translate the gene for swine flu into a piece [...]
