ESCAPE! Videos #19

Relax — we’re safe now, at least as safe as one can be on a Vogon Destructor Fleet’s flagship. The mid-terms are finally mostly over, and there are no shock troops marching up and down the square. We’re safe, at least for the moment.

So as long as we’re somewhat safe, let’s take a look at the prospects for the future, for our community of work. Here’s a video that might provide you with some of the most basic answers about how to go about your Objective Essence Task — that of “growing our channel”, as they say on youtube and other media outlets.

I thought the Jedi Mind Trick would be a great introduction to the art and skill of learning how and when to ask for help — the key ingredient and the main lesson of the American Book of the Dead.

That having been said, I’ll leave the rest, the exploration and application, to you. In the meantime, take a look at this little gem at a Freddie Mercury Contest:

Most of the next video is hilarious,  but please excuse the occasional drift into blah.

The rap battles are quite funny, but they require a great deal of previous knowledge. There is no more obvious example of language issues than Dorothy v. Alice — if you know your literature, you’ll get all the gags, but if not, it’s still funny.

I have often wondered what would happen, what it would look and sound like, if Freddie Mercury had been Filipino.

Well, now we know. Okay, let’s get to work with the large scale donors project before there’s no more internet and we’re back to putting letters into saddle bags and waiting a week for a return letter from a town less than 12 miles away.

I asked a local postal worker why it takes 14 days for a first-class letter to go from Sacramento to Los Angeles and the Pony Express back in the 1800s could deliver a letter on horseback in less than 8 days, and she told me, “Well, you see, those horses are a lot older now.”.

See You At The Top!!!
