4 Announcements and a Question

February 23rd, 2010 - Uncategorized - 24 Comments »

1. Thanks so much for all the feedback on the 5 Questions You’ve Never Been Asked video. Per your suggestions, I’m going to try to cut it to about half the time (3 minutes-ish), put some fancy title at the beginning with music, pick up the pace a little bit, ask better/funnier questions, and not wear that stupid red hoodie.

2. Speaking of asking better/funnier questions, I need your ideas! Can you help me think of as many funny/absurd/outlandish questions as you can and put them in the comments section? The only criteria is that they have to have never been asked. Here are some examples that Scott Moore emailed me yesterday to get the creative juices flowing:

+ If you had to have a hat sewn onto your head for the rest of ever, what kind of hat would it be?
+ How come two sheets of 1-ply is not as comfortable as a sheet of 2-ply?
+ If you were a magician what would be your magical phrase (i.e. abracadabra)?
+ What is your stance on alliteration?

3. My book, Everyday Absurdities, will be hitting the proverbial shelves on March 9th. If you want/would be willing to help me get the word out, here are some ads that you can put on your blog/website to promote it. For now, just have it link to tylerstanton.com. I’ll post the book’s store link as soon as it goes live.

4. In case you’ve forgotten, I’m a TV addict. Here are some upcoming shows I’m currently excited about: Parenthood (same producers as Arrested Development), Celebrity Apprentice (Sinbad + Darryl Strawberry + Rod Blagojevich + Goldberg = Glorious Television), and Minute to Win It. I just need to figure out a way to fit them into my embarrassingly full TV schedule (House, 24, The Biggest Loser, Lost, Modern Family, Community, The Office, 30 Rock, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Glee). Doesn’t that make you feel better about how much TV you watch?

5. Last week I mentioned the sequel to our video, Things You CAN’T Do When You’re NOT in a Pool, would be debuting today. Well, I’m a liar. We needed to make some last minute changes, so we’re releasing it MONDAY, MARCH 1.

Again, let’s hear your best questions that have never been asked in the comments.

    I can't believe you didn't use the greatest gnome one, that one was my favorite. And I don't know if you noticed this or not, but it was right before the alliteration question. Pretty genius, right?

    I kid, I'm glad you liked some that I sent and I'm looking forward to more videos.

      I apologize. I just thought the majority of readers would only know between 0 and 1 gnome.
