In which a group of graying eternal amateurs discuss their passions, interests and obsessions, among them: movies, art, politics, evolutionary biology, taxes, writing, computers, these kids these days, and lousy educations.

"Shoes!" And More

Michael Blowhard writes:

Dear Blowhards --

Judging by the numbers on YouTube, I'm the 10, 942, 402nd person to discover "Shoes!" So you may well be ahead of me on this. But what a brilliant bit of high-camp silliness "Shoes!" is.



Gotta love that apocalyptic finale.

The video is the creation of Liam Sullivan, an L.A.-based comic actor. Here's his website, where he shows off a bunch of other comic videos too. I got an especially big kick out of "Text-Message Breakup." You just don't do that!

The visuals on these vids aren't NSFW, but the soundtracks certainly are.

Best,

Michael

Too funny! The wife (my "the wife") just discovered this last night, showed it to everyone she could, and has been singing it ever since. She also wants it known that she patented the "Batch" with an "a" long before Liam came up with the "Betch" with an "e" tee shirts.
