Ether Itchers

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
In the current edition of Alt Press magazine, I was asked to author a page with the amusing enough subject matter, "how to become famous", which I had a fine time writing, because I have no idea, frankly, how to really truly do so. For part of this column, I made reference to pictures and videos Justin and I scrawled to amuse various people who have done us favors, or who we think should soon do us one or two.
A few people have since spoken to me about the article, and made reference to the thank-you drawings while doing that annoying quad-finger air quote motion during the annunciation of those words. So I don't know if there's some disbelief in the merit of my word here, or if these people just find it necessary to spastically itch at the ether, but I thought I'd go a rummaging through some photos to find PROOF!

I'd appreciate thank-you notes like those. Honestly.

They're creative and unique, and definitely better than a generic Hallmark thank you card.

Those are freaking fabulous. xD I'd love to get a thank you note like that instead of those fucking greeting-card iambic pentameter rhymes that piss me off ever so much. :/

4:54am? Deary, do you not sleep ever? Lovely "thank you" cards...though when I actually do that in person..I like to think I'm tickling jesus. (specifically Christmas Jesus, or maybe beared Jesus.)

Like most everyone else, I love those.
I would much rather recieve those, or give those out.
Especially since I'm a way more morbid person than the other letters allow.

hahahaha. I think I want to steal that card for when I have to do thank yous for graduation. Except that dear, old grandma of mine would throw a fit.

The AP article was pretty amazing. Probably one of the best things in the whole magazine. It was funny and smart, which is exactly the type of thing I like to read.

That sliced bird is the grossest thing I've ever seen. In my whole life.

One time when I was driving a bird swept down too low and bounced off my windshield. This reminds me of that, and that was pretty nasty as well.

This is the kind of humour that makes the people at school think I'm a nut job/meanie (yes, at 18, I've been called a meanie)

it's all in good fun though.
