Good Morning John,
Uhh…
There’s something about this isn’t there? Katherine turned to me after finishing
your video from this week and she said, I was engaged, but I was relaxed.
I think the way we normally do
these videos like, isn’t precisely that.
I mean I’m not gonna stop doing it this way.
I like this way. This is the way.
This is the way, but I don’t think it’s relaxing.
And look, I’m getting old, and maybe the level of energy
needs to come down a little bit, sometimes.
The hamstring has to be one of the most ridiculously named muscle, right?
There can’t be a worse one than that. Calf is weird. Like its just uh,
somebody looked at that and was like, that looks like a small cow.
But at least calf is like a living animal. If it were called a veal string?
Then I’d be like, yeah, that’s equally ridiculous to hamstring.
That’s–that’s basically the situation we’re in with hamstring.
That’s gotta be the weirdest one. I’ve been working on
Project for Awesome perks. Cause it’s coming up quick.
And for the last four or five years,
we’ve been making various kinds of spray-paint art,
where we’ve been using stencils on glass or canvas.
And when we were doing that we also made something by accident.
Every year I used the same roll of paper as the drop cloth
so we wouldn’t get paint on whatever surface we were painting on.
And over the years, that paper became really beautiful.
Like, it had all the stencil marks, and then it had scuffs and footprints,
and some of it started to rip, and it was just like clear that we weren’t gonna
use this paper again. And I literally like, looked down
at it in the dumpster, and I was like, I, I can’t throw that away.
I took it home and I cut out squares,
and then I graffiti mopped hanklerfish on a bunch of em.
And they are the hanklerfish art this year. And they’re all signed and numbered.
There’s 250 of them, and I’m excited to share them with people.
And of course, it's the only time we’re gonna be able to do ones
like this, cause that paper, doesn’t exist anymore.
Pretty good trade though, I think.
And next year,
I’ll have to figure out something else to do.
I’m not sure if that sounded optimistic or depressing,
um, but I guess that’s what figuring out something else to do is.
Both of those things.
So I have a friend, she’s a pretty good friend
and I go over to her place fairly frequently.
Um, and uh, and she knows my name,
which is weird that I mention that. I go over to her place once
to meet a new member of her family.
She’s got a new dog. Brand new dog.
Didn’t exist a couple of months ago. And she’s like, this is Hank!
Meet Hank!
Uuuhhh, what?
What am I supposed to do with this? Like, either this is an odd honor
that is being bestowed on me, or you forgot I existed.
This isn’t a dog that came from
the pound with a name. This is a new dog that you had
an infinite number of names that you could have given.
I’m not personally a name dogs human names type of person.
My dog was named Lemon,
my cats have been named Cameo and Gummy Bear.
We don't run into that problem very often when some one
shoes up and they’re like, oh! My name’s gummy bear too!
You can do it, I just think avoid the names
of people who are gonna be at your house a lot and soon.
I’m sorry it’s true. If you’re watching this,
just know that I never said anything, and that it just sort of
pinged around in there for years, until this.
I forgot about gluteus maximus. Gluteus maximus is definitely
the most ridiculous name for a– gluteus maximus?
Like your butt is the emperor of Rome?
Gluteus Maximus–what?
(singing) Oh do not forsake me my indolent friends
(singing fading into the background) Oh do not forsake me
You know a lot of people like to say, if it ain't broke don’t fix it.
I like to say if it ain't folk
don't blix it. It’s just funnier.
John, I’ll see you tomorrow.
