Ben Benner’s Blog

I am researching a blog post for Jaduka and in doing so, I needed to review some of Eddie Izzard’s work. So I turned to YouTube as most folks should do, if you need to find comedy routines.

Well, I found a few clips from one of his live performances, which I was expecting. What I was not expecting was to find someone who had taken the time to work up Lego based stop-motion animations of Eddie’s work.

I have to say that his comedy bits usually already have me laughing my ass off, but watching them with the little Lego figures act out the comedy routine is even funnier!

I was looking for this clip…

This clip was a pleasant surprise, the material was new to me.

Back to the grind.

Almost called this one Adventureland, but then it might get confused for a review of the movie I hope to see later this evening, but since I am old it probably won’t be until sometime tomorrow.

I managed to wake up early enought this morning to get some cleaning done before my 9am conference call, I also managed to bake the last of my rye bread dough, got two loaves. I am planning to send one loaf to my father and the other my my father-in-law, or as I sometimes call them, “The Toms”.

(Yes, I realize it is only funny if you happen to know both of them are named Thomas.)

I took Gina’s car to get a new stereo. I won’t give away what model until Gina has a chance to see it for herself. But she alreayd knows that it will allow her to control her iPod right from the dashboard.

I got the work done at Txr Custom Car Audio & Accessories, down on Burnet road. I need to write them a good review on Yelp, as that was were I found out about them.

In about 11 minutes I am supposed to be down at Taps Bar to meet up with Jeremy, Kearney and Kevin to watch MSU make it to the finals.

While listening to Jason and Deb, on 101x, this morning, I learned that a recently published ‘study’ has stated that men named ‘Benjamin’ are the most miserable in Britain.

When hearing this on the radio this morning the word ‘Morose’ came to mind, but that just leads me to think of the following movie quote from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Well, look at these morose motherfuckers right here. Looks like somebody shit in their cereal… Bong.

While my demeanor has been a bit glum the past few months, to the point one might have called me ‘morose’, the last few weeks have been actually pretty decent.

Jeremy listened to Jason and Deb this morning as well and congratulated me on having the most miserable name. Both of us agreed that we didn’t know any happy guys named Josh. So, I guess that means someone needs to release the list of happy and miserable names for the USA.

Well, I best get back to the grind.
