Time Travel Expedition

I made this video for Brett Gelman and Jon Daly. This mixes two of my favorite things in the world: Time Travel and Farts. It is insane, and was a ton of fun to shoot and edit. Please enjoy. We hope this video finally starts a real discussion on the ethics of time travel.

Anything is Possible

The Celtics just won the NBA Championship. This has not happened since I was 3 years old. I am so pumped. The Celtics took a definitive game six over the Lakers winning by nearly 40 points. Kevin Garnett gave the best post game interview I have ever scene, it wraps the moment up rather perfectly.

Hollywood Insider

Here's my Best Night Ever from last night. Let's just say things were pretty Hollywood.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2

If you are anything like me you cannot wait for August 8^th 2008 (8.8.08). The magical day when we will see the second installment of the movie adaptation of Ann Brashares’ beloved young adult novel series, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. In preparation for the film I did a little research on the origin of those mystical jeans, that seem to fit everyone perfectly. What I found was a pleasant surprise.


It seems that the history of the “Traveling Pants” goes much further than the spooky attic where the girls found them. Some believe that the jeans were the handy work of Jesus Christ Himself. Legend has it that the Messiah passed the magical jeans on to Mary Magdalene because, “she just couldn’t find anything that didn’t make her but look huge.”

Mary Magdalene Trembles at the thought of trying on another pair of jeans.

The story of the Traveling Pants does not end there. The Priory of Sion was a secret society set up in 1099 to protect the secret of the jeans. Priory of Sion loosely translates to Sisterhood of Traveling Pants. Former grandmasters of the Priory of Sion include Leonardo Da Vinci. If you examine the sculpture below, you may notice a hint to the secret of the jeans. Looks like in addition to tanks and flying machines, Da Vinci also invented a few fashion trends (skirt with jeans under it anyone).

Evidence of Da Vinci's involvement with the Priory of Sion?

The Priory of Sion was responsible for installing the Merovingian line of Frank kings. The Merovingians are believed to be descendants of the original Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Mary Magdalene and her 3 friends Bridget, Carmen and Tibby, the rebel.

A Merovingian king is initiated into the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

The jeans have been kept a secret for so long by the Merovingian run fashion industry. If everyone looked great in every pair of jeans, it would be the end of fashion, as we know it. But who knows what will happen now that the new Sisterhood has the pants in their hands.

Stand-Up for Yourself

Last night I worked on some stand-up comedy during my Best Night Ever podcast. The jokes were flying, and the crowd was dying. See for yourself.

The Fartrix

Rory and I got stuck in the matrix a couple months ago...and this is what happened.



Rory might have good comic timing, but he has perfect fart timing.

Back In Time

I wrote a Back to The Future related sketch for a show, and in my research I found this, which is great.

Huey Lewis - Back in Time - BTTF Tribute


Also, much Back to the Future news in the past two weeks. The Clock Tower set from the trilogy, burned down this past week (full article). And Bob Gale makes it completely official that there will not be a Back to the Future IV (full article). Kind of good to know they won't be soiling the BTTF franchise, but I can't help but wonder when the remakes will go down (Shia Labeouf as Marty McFly anyone?).

Also, check out this fake trailer for Back to the Future IV that someone made. Does anyone else get tingles?


Note: by far the nerdiest blog post I have ever written. Is it nerdier than Rory's Optimus Prime/Darth Vader blog...we will never know.

Check out my Back to the Future related sketch at The Upright Citizens Brigade on Monday June 9th at 6:30pm. It's my Sketch 201 class show and there are a lot of great writers in the class and all the sketches will make you laugh.
